Project 365 - May 30th & 31st (Dance Spectacular!)
Here are the photos from show #1, which we got to see.
These are from day #2. The bottom one is a quirky "whale car" parked outside the new convention center. It is advertising the Bay of Fundy as one of the New 7 Natural Wonders of the World

Project 365 - May 16th to 29th
Isabel participated in the LHHS Best Buddies Fun Run and she ran her little heart out. She said she had fun and I think the photo and video prove it :)
Traffic....it has been kind of crappy since the Princess Margaret Bridge closed. It is making our lives a little more challenging, especially when it comes to getting Isabel to daycare.
mmmmm....homemade peanut butter cups.
Isabel wanted to have her hair done like the girl on her shirt. This was the best we could do, but I thought it was pretty good :)
Poor Orin-boo wasn't well toward the end of last week, so I kept him home with me on Friday. Here he is sleeping in the sling (are you getting tired of seeing pics like this :P )
A bottle and syringe cleaning.
A cuddle for Gramma <3
Where's Isabel?
THERE she is!
I put Isabel's hair up in rags to make it curly for the dance show. Here she is with it up. Super cute :D

Catalogue of Izzy #10
{We'd just finished watching Follow the Feather, an episode of the Backyardigans featuring a wise, gypsy-type character called "The Mysterious Lady", who gives the other characters advice about their quest. Izzy had been quoting and pretending to be the Mysterious Lady for the last little while.}
Mummy: Isabel I need some help with the laundry. I would like you to sort out all of the socks and facecloths please.
Isabel: I'm the Mysterious Lady.
Mummy: Perfect! I need some help with the clothes, Mysterious Lady.
Isabel: The Mysterious Lady knows much. The Mysterious Lady doesn't do clothes.

Project 365 - May 15th
It rained today.....just as it has every day for the last two weeks....so we made a "tent" in the living room (Isabel just learned about camping at school this week, so my fort became a tent immediately upon her viewing it). We had great fun; we made shadow puppets against the roof with a flashlight and read books and played instruments(both of which were far more entertaining due simply to their being transported under a blanket suspended on kitchen chairs) among other things.
OMG! It's a Sasquatch running into our campsite! Run for your lives!!!!!
Oh....no...I take that back. It is simply the most hilarious photo I've taken of this child to date. He was cranky because I was taking pics instead of picking him up (he is teething and, therefore, moody). This is the result.

Project 365 - May 14th
She had visitors....whom she was not actually allowed to interact with...
a doe (who has been by previous springs as well)...
and her sweet fawn.
Project 365 - May 9th-13th
We are going to take this week's pics a few steps at a time. The week was kind of quiet, but I've taken oodles of pics this weekend, so brace yourself for multiple posts.
Here are Monday through Friday's pictures:
On Monday, I had PD and Orin and I each had a doctor's appointment. Below is a summary of his measurements. We are SO pleased he is doing well at maintaining weight. Also, take note at where the discrepancy in proportions lies with this child as well....hats will never be popular in this house.
Orin has been making leaps and bounds in his communication lately. When the doctor asked on Monday if he is talking, he was impressed by my claim that Orin has 5-10 words. I wondered if I was exaggerating, so I've been counting them and I realised I actually underestimated. At last count, he regularly uses 12 words and 3 signs (he recently added "done" to this repertoire) and he learns new multiple new things daily now. It is amazing. Anyway, below, Isabel is teaching him an alternative meaning for "cheese".
On Wednesday, I had the absolute pleasure of seeing Bill Clinton speak. I really wasn't sure what I was in for and tried to keep my expectations low. Well, I am SO glad I went; I had a really great time and found him really inspiring.
Orin (don't worry...Isabel will show up soon...it has just been a big week for this guy) has been using soft-spouted sippy cups for a while now. We transitioned him relatively easily from bottles (which leaked like sieves) to these in order to keep his bed from getting so wet. Well, we've hit the same problem with these because he is damaging them by using them the way he does (biting) and I can't find the spouts ANYWHERE in Fredericton...as a matter of fact, the stores that carry the bottles themselves are phasing them out. So we've realised we need to work on moving him to the hard-spouted sippies that we have around. He's been a bit stubborn about it, so the fact that he started using it on his own this week was a big deal. We are going to start phasing the hard sippies into daytime use over the next couple of weeks and hopefully take the leap to using them at night too in June. Wish us luck.
Friday was kijiji day! Well, one purchase was made Thursday night and then two were made on Friday. Here is the loot.

Project 365 - May 8th
We went for a walk by the river today because it was beautiful and because it is always interesting to be down near the river when it is swollen in spring. Enjoy the resulting photoshoot :)
Project 365 - May 3rd-7th
Since neither my photo of the TV as results came in or my photo of Twitter as people #tweet(ed)theresults all over the place turned out, you get this - a disturbingly blue map of Canada.
This photo is going to have to cover Tuesday and Wednesday since I inadvertently deleted the much better photo of deer from Wednesday :( The cool news though is that they've been in our yard several times this week. It is lovely to see them so close :)
Isabel's dance class had photos on Thursday. Here she is all dolled up and in her raincoat after photos had been taken and we were back in the car on the way home.
Yet more kijiji fodder. I have oodles of baby stuff to list. Here is the cloth diaper stash I've sold most of already.
Yet more wildlife. The story behind this starts early in the morning when I saw a bird soar low over the yard and land in a tree directly beyond the kitchen window. I thought little of it until late in the afternoon when I saw it again and, upon looking closer, I noticed a nest had been built (literally, over the course of the day) in that spot in the trees. The bird has disappeared, but I am hoping that he's just off finding a young lady bird to bring back to his really impressive nest.
BONUS VIDEO!
Isabel's dance class performed at the FredKid Fair this past weekend. Here's a snippet of video from the show.
