Everyday Beauty-Week 14-Dance
Well, this last day of the week finally feels like spring! It was a great one to spend outside soaking up the warmth and sunshine.
The little one in this house is going to be in her very first dance recital this May. This is a big deal. Big for her and also big for her studio apparently too. Getting tickets to see it is like waiting in line to get tickets to your favourite rock star and involved a fair bit of pre-planning and waiting in line. Totally worth it of course. Her outfit came this week too and she is pretty excited about that too. I now have to buy hairspray for the first time in my life for my nearly 6 year old. What!? The pressure of the perfect hair bun may do me in.

Everyday Beauty-Week 13-Easter
Happy Easter! We have prepped all week long to make the house all festive for Easter with a wee interruption when the girls caught an excellent stomach bug. Everyone has recovered and we are awaiting the Easter Bunny tomorrow morning.

Everyday Beauty-Week 12-Victory
Back to our regular school routine this week. It was nice to have the routine again, although I think we all kind of miss the freedom March Break gave us. It was a week of usuals, regular play, regular classes. Until today. Today we celebrated a victory. Not our victory. One amazing little boy we know has finished his last official round of chemo and has beaten leukemia. We are honoured to know this guy and his equally awesome siblings and parents. Words cannot express how incredible it feels to experience this from a distance and I cannot even fathom the emotions the immediate family is experiencing. The party today felt like a send off to cancer. Good riddance and we hope never to see the likes of you again.
In honour if this victory I am posting the images in reverse order.

Everyday Beauty-Week 11-March Break
March Break is nearly over and I have to say I am kind of sad. I had a lot of fun with the girls and I know they are not thrilled to bits to head back to school tomorrow either. The weather was warmish on and off, although as I type this it is snowing out.
We filled the week with small day trips here and there and some relaxing fun at home.

Everyday Beauty-Week 10-Checkers
I bought the girls a Checkers/Chess set. Guess what we played all week long? Checkers, yeah, I am not a Chess girl. I figure that is a game that their daddy can teach them. They love it and the first question every morning for the past week has been "Can we play chess?" Definitely worse games they could be playing, so sure.
The weather was amazing this week and we went out for one last ski of the season. It was a great one with an empty hill and some seriously fast snow. Head over heels they both went multiple times, but were not deterred and bounced right back up. Except once, but no serious damage done.
We start March Break and then rounds of endless games and activities are in full effect. Looking forward to a busy and fun week.
