Halloweeny pics..

I really love halloween... the candy, the horror movies that I watch with one eye open, and specially the time that I spend with the kiddies... after doing the round of the neightborhood and giving out all the candy at our door, I watched one of my favorite halloween movies with my oldest daughter : Practical Magic

On her way to the big leagues..

To my dear Lala,

I remember the day that I came back with you from the hospital, I was all the while thinking that this little one does not know what she has stepped into.. back then it was just you and me; between welcoming your little sister into our family last September and proclaiming 'mom there is a difference between a baby and a kid and I am not a baby!' I can say that we have come a long way from then, you have taught me so much. I can promise you that I will be there for the rest of our walk together, I will be your shoulder to lean on when you need a friend, I will be your cheerleader when you need support, I will be your teacher when you need to learn.

I will always be there to support and cherish you in pursuit of your dreams.

Hooray for Yo Gabba Gabba!

I have not really paid attention to this kid's show before, but since my eldest daughter started watching it I have fallen in love with it (okay that is a bit much).

It looked a bit weird to me at first: the bright background, the DJ Lance (yes that is his name!) and his tight fitting orange bodysuit and all those weird little creatures that he (uhm) DJ's, I guess. Nevertheless, when my kids watch that show (yes the 7 month-old too) even I start to boogieyoogie to whatever song they are learning at the moment, like the "don't bite your friends" song.

I think that is sound advice even for us grown-ups!

Attack of the Capital V..

My house has been plagued with the big 'V' or big 'T' however you want to call it..it is mostly my 5 year old(it's not gastro though, I just think the child ate too much of a good thing yesterday);so there has been a lot of bathroom runs, cleaning up and washing bed linens.. I am pooped.
But since I am finally feeling the SPRING air here in Montreal, here is a little quote:

Flashbak!

I am a bit sleep deprived right now; baby Zazou has been battling a horrible end- of-winter-beginning-of-spring cold; which basically means: sick baby no sleeping for mommy... but a little Lauren Hill always get me going...



Check this out and tell me what you think.

Bouncy Bouncy!

I am currently looking for some sort of bouncing device for my 6 month old, she seems to think that she can do everything that my 5 year old does. Now, I am constantly trying to catch her so that she does not get hurt from her escapades.
I call this the 'bouncy bouncy' stage, zazou can't stay still for one second especially when her older sister is skipping around. I am amazed at this though because Lala (my 5 year old) did not start this stage until she was around 8 months old.
I have a couple of bouncy thingies that I want to try out but I can only buy one, so maybe you guys could help me figure out which one to get and then I will tell you all about it.

There is this:

and this:


and then this:


Also I am always open for suggestions though; for my eldest daugther I had something that looked like this:



but it seems that the above is no longer on the market because of all the accidents that have occured with the babies in them; that is a bummer because I remember my little one loving it so much.

So there you go, which one do you like..

Let's all do the PoTtY DaNcE!

I just love this commercial,This pull ups commercial has really won me over. I don't know if it's the singer/rapper or just the dance.. I find myself doing the potty dance all the time with my 5 month old even though she is not even near the age of 'the potty'.

Missing the 'Babble Jabble'

This does not happen to me often but today I miss the 'babble jabble' of adulthood. I do like my leisury days with the bossy 5 month old and the Hanna Montana fanatic 5 year old; but I so miss the times when I would get up, get all dolled up in my suit to head to work and grab my fav' Tim Hortons coffee on the way.

I do like spending this time with my daughters; I realise this the more time passes, I sometimes feel that they grow up so fast, I yearn for those great feelings I got when baby would kick in the womb, I love it when we are all crunched up together in the bed watching our favorite disney princess movie (we are girly girls!)

I do love ALL of that but sometimes it gets lonely out here in mommyhood; sometimes a little adult conversion is more then welcomed over here.

Kids say the DArNdesT things..

My 5 year old daughter, Lala, told me today " Mommy your butt looks like a fire truck!" Uh! What!.. and then she just runs off as if this was the most natural thing to say..

A song..

Currently this is my 5 year old daughter's favorite song, I don't think that she actually understands any of the words.. but to her this IS THE SONG!
