Chop Chop Timber!

We had a big, ugly tree in our backyard. It needed to go, so my dad came over to help Kenton take it down. 


They were a little concerned about the cables that run out to the poles in the alley but hoped they could get the tree to fall away from them...


With a huge crash over the fence, the tree took down one of the cable lines, oops :) 
(All has been fixed and is fine now).


Wren woke up from her nap after the tree fell and said, "Oh, noisy! Crash boom!". We looked out the window at what happened and she said, "Oh, tree broken."
Hurray!

Spring sunshine...

Wren's enjoying the sunlight that is coming with Spring...reading some books...


...thinking some thoughts...


...just relaxing...


...and thinking a few more thoughts...maybe about all the big puddles awaiting her and her rubber boots outside...

Spring is on the way!

Thursday: Wren made a snowman with Nana. She was proud.


Then Friday's warm weather swooped in and it was a spring day!


The appropriate response to such weather is to get out in the alley and play in the puddles of course!


Here is Wren saying, "Oh snowman broken!" It only took one day for him to melt away...


Barely a head left for his nose...


So it was back to the alley. I should really get a pair of rubber boots this year, I can tell we will be using them extensively.


Wren figured out the whole puddle deal super quick.


Then Kenton and Wren threw some snowballs for fun, can you see it in this picture?


She put a lot of gusto into this throw! The snowball is up by the side mirror of the truck.


We can't wait for more warm days like this to come!

Indoor Playground

When it's chilly and windy outside, sometimes you have to make an indoor playground of sorts. I was sad to find out that the Gymboree on the north side, closed down! I was so hoping to take Wren there on my time off while the weather warms up. 



Today we ran over to the Farmer's Market-it had been months since we went and it was that time again where we needed to spend a lot on not that many groceries :) But I was feeling market-deprived. And I really needed some of those raisin buns that this guy sells but I can't remember what his business is called. And meat, I hate buying meat from Superstore, and even if I only went to the market to buy good quality meat, it's worth it when we can!


I am counting down my last 4 weeks of work now, I can hardly wait! I'm also counting down the days when Spring starts to show up, and when I can buy "normal non-maternity" clothes again. Today, Kenton pointed out that a pair of my pants split in the bum pockets and that I should "just go buy another pair of pants already". I just can't bring myself to walk into Thyme Maternity ever again. In saying that, you might be asking, "What? No plans for a third??" and our answer is heck no. We don't have the energy or stamina for more than two and we will be happy with two girls and not trying for a boy...unless our ultrasound was wrong and we are actually having a boy this time. Doubt it, but it can happen. But no. Two. 


It's exciting to have a Spring baby coming this time around...and just a baby here altogether. Wrennie is growing up really fast, and is more of a big kid than a baby these days. Some of her favorite phrases at the moment are, "Whatcha doin??", "Probably not hippopotamus!" and "Who dat??". 
"Who dat?" refers to almost anything, not just a person. 
"Mummy, who dat??"
"A car, Wren."
"Oh! Who dat??"
"Just a kid walking to school Wren."
"Who dat??"
"Raisins, Wren. You know that."
"Ohh..yeah."
