The Lafleurs: February 2013

Wednesday, February 20, 2013

The girls love to read a book called "The Library" by Sarah Stewart. The book is about a girl who loves to read and surrounds herself with books. The girls love to stand on their heads when we get to the page that says "She even reads while exercising, and standing on her head."

Juju's Quiet Time

The other day Spencer snuck up and got this video of Juju during her quiet time. She didn't know he was there. I love seeing what kids do when they don't know we are watching. She is "reading" her Bible. I love the way she gets the hair out of her eyes near the end of the video.

Nature Walk

Last weekend we went for a nature walk, followed by a picnic. The girls loved collecting rocks and sticks, looking at ducks, running around, and playing made up games. There were way too many cute pictures to choose from...

Karis loves to try to stand up.

Happy Valentine's Day

A few of us are working on putting together a home preschool that will start in September. Because we are very excited to get started, we decided to have a few preschool events before September. So, we had a preschool valentine's party. We did a craft, read a story, decorated cookies, and ate lunch together. The kids had a great time!

These kids get along so well... it is really precious.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Clothing rotation...

Karis now fits into my favorite Lafleur girls outfit. She and Juju are now the ones that match. Ella was feeling a little left out, so I told her that she and I could match (I couldn't find my black pants with 3 sparkly buttons at the bottom, nor my minnie mouse socks, so I just settled for these jeans).

Karis Pulls Herself Up!

Last week Karis started to pull herself up to standing. I love the way her little legs wobble once she is standing.

Family Day

For those of you who don't live in BC, we have a new holiday here "Family Day". So on Monday Spencer had the day off work and we spent some quality family time.

We have been reading through the story of the Last Supper with the girls and telling them about Jesus washing his disciples' feet. For Family Day we decided to wash our girls feet to show them Jesus love. They loved it, and even asked if they could return the favor!

Juju took the washing of the feet to a whole new level and decided to hop right in the bath (with her jammies on). Juj loves the bath and is often the last to get out.. busy pretending that she is a fish swimming in the water.

We then went to Crescent beach on an "adventure". We went for a run along the ocean, and then let the girls explore. They spotted cranes, sandpipers, and eagles along the way.

We sat down for a picnic lunch.

And Dadda taught the girls about clams. We sure do live in a beautiful place!

Princess Tea Party

Last weekend we were invited to a princess tea party. Our friend Amaya, who is in Ella's class at church, was very excited about her 4th birthday party.
