Latest Happenings…

Here are our last couple of weeks in pictures:

The girls came out of our bedroom the other day wearing my clothes. They said, "look we are little Mommas!" (Thankfully these shirts have a much more modest cut when I wear them.)

We had some friends over for lunch after women's group last week. Micah was the only boy amongst all the girls, but somehow got convinced to dress-up in a pink tutu.

The girls went to their first live hockey game. Our friend, Chris, is the coach of the Trinity Western hockey team. Moriah and Juju were so into the game they couldn't stop watching even for this picture.

Karis likes to do all things that her big sisters are doing. She often comes into a room and says "my turn, my turn." So, here she is having her turn at getting her nails painted.

We have a little building centre set up in our living room. The girls have been building some pretty amazing log houses. Grandpa Clark would be proud!

Taking after her big sisters, Karis has already mastered the art of walking in high heels.

Last weekend we went to the Fort-to-Fort trail. The girls were very excited about the frost.

Karis is crazy about Juju's baby. Juju has been very gracious in sharing her baby since Karis has completely taken it over.

Here's our hair washing train. A very efficient way to bathe 3 little girls!

Water for Karis

The other day Juliette fell asleep and Ella and Karis decided to put some bathing suits on. So here's a video of Ella getting Karis some water in their bathing suits.

Psalm 121

Jesus Loves Karis

We sing "Jesus Loves Me" to Karis before putting her to bed. She has started to sing-along and after we are through singing she often says "Jesus loves Kare-Kare" (she refers to herself as Kare-Kare).

Reading to Karis

Here is Spencer attempting to read to Karis, with several interruptions. First her sisters are walking around with the Lincoln Logs box on their heads, then she gets an "owwie" on her finger and needs a kiss, then she wants her socks off...

Parent Observation Day

Last week it was parent observation day at ballet. Normally parents need to wait outside the room while the girls dance. It was such a treat to see what the girls have been learning. Their class is adorable, and they are great little ballerinas!

I love the above picture of Juliette. She looks like a real professional. 

Around the House..

Karis loves our new step stool. The other day I came into the kitchen and Karis had the dish scrubber in her mouth and was saying "brush teeth". Thankfully the scrubber was new :)

Another new addition: our Ikea tent. Lately this tent has been doubling as an airplane that flies overseas to see our friends, the Lungs.

3 Minnie Mouses

All 3 of our girls dressed up as Minnie Mouse for Halloween...

We had a great time carving pumpkins together. Ella drew her own face on hers before carving. We had to make a few minor adjustments (she drew an ordinary smiley face).

After Juju carved her pumpkin, she asked "where are his legs?"

Learning centers

We have been setting up a few learning centers around our house. The girls love their new art table. It's fun to see them learning and playing together.
