Ways she can amuse herself!

We were at the cousins over the weekend and Sid was gifted stacks of clothes and some costume jewelry.  Monday was declared, "Let's organize your wardrobe day!" and I got busy emptying closets, boxes and drawers.  From the hallway I hear "Mom, come and see, I have ALL my jewelry on!" and this is what I found.  :)

 And while left alone to amuse herself, Sid did a fine job of finding things to do and play.  I walked by and saw this at another point in the morning.  "Shhhhh, I am spying!" she said.

 Poor Lilly walked by and nearly had a heart attack seeing the horse and two beady Sid eyes staring at her.  Lilly is still very leery of the horse and it has become and effective tool to guard Sid's toys!

 Can you see her eyes peeking out of the laundry basket? 

 Karate pics of some of the little kids all doing their spin kicks.  They had to go one after another.  It was a cool drill.

It was cold, cold cold this week starting off with a blanket of snow.  Hopefully the weather changes quickly and we get back to park days and playing outside!

New...

 

 A new little life has joined the Karate family!  This is little Sebastien who is only 4 days old.  Sid is in LOVE with him.   Like she needed any more motivation to go to Karate???  Now she just oooh and ahhhhs over this little guy and holds him so perfectly while his big brother and sister watch and help to make sure little Sebastien is safe.

 New chicks!!!  Sid and I were invited over to our friends house for a day of catching up and playing with the new babies.  The chickies were only a day old and the loud peeps drew Sid right to them as she entered the house.  These thirty (dirty birds.... Chili Pepper reference!!!!) are going to be quite the flock in a few weeks!

 Ohhh so cute!

 Kitty thinks... oh so tasty!!!!

 Sid helping little Neirin.

 Look at those feet!  Who'd have thought chickens could have cute feet?

 And then out in the pasture, the other new babies.....

OMG look at those bums?!

Back at home Dad and Sid watch Star Wars A NEW Hope.  So far they have only made it half way through.  It is quite scary.  Daddy is enjoying quoting the movie as it plays.  This is the end result of having seen it some 40+ times as a boy!

 A few new splits stretches!  Holy KungFu!

 A new tradition.   This was the Mustang end of the year Barbecue at Aimee and Doris' place.  They turned it into a fundraiser for their Ride for The Cure.  They provided the location, food and drinks and we made a donation to their team.  It was so fun.  Good food, good friends, lots of laughs and the Sens won as well as the team Canada women's team taking gold at the world cup.  What a great night!

Doris sneak flipping the burgs while Chef Aimee stepped away for just a moment!

 Watching the game which turned out to be a good one! 

Sid with her new flower hair clip in her hair.  Sid now takes special care in selecting her hair accessories every day.  She does all the styling and brushing and only requests help with braiding.  Wow she is growing up!
