Heart

The other week Ruby asked me to show her a picture of a human heart inside of a body.  So I obliged and googled a diagram of a human heart - she was not satisfied.

No, Mommy, an actual heart that is beating. 

Um, okay...so I pulled up a video on utube of an open heart surgery and she was mesmerized. 

I was surprised that it didn't freak her out but she was just keenly interested.

We have been creating many hearts around here - mostly paper ones.  Paper chains, banners, glittered cut-outs, valentines...

In stark contrast to January we have had really mild weather this month.  Park days in February are always welcome.

 The kids with their favourite stuffies, "Twinkle" and "Parrot"...R&B are their parents and refer to them as "the boys"...as in, "Should we take the boys for a walk?" or "Are the boys hungry for a snack".  It is one game that they both enjoy and usually ends well.

Spreading her wings...

The kids had a hot chocolate stand today.  They were a good little team and made a little chunk of change which R has independently decided to donate to the Salvation Army. 

Dance parties in the front room...

B is a breaker...

Happy Valentine's Day!
