Silly Faces

Mummy brought home a funny wig from her DreamWorks event, so check me out!  And Violet was just being her usual scrunchy-faced self (joined by Mummy, she couldn't resist!)  Silly girls, silly faces.  xoxo Audrey and Violet

Spring has Sprung!


Yesterday was the first official day of spring - and the weather has been here to prove it!  It's been above 20 degrees for the last few days ---- woo hoo, t-shirt weather!  The robins are out, and we are loving not having to bundle up.  Mummy got out our new spring jackets last week - check us out on the porch, with Vila and her "big smile" of course.

And on the weekend, it was so nice and warm that all our neighbours were out on their front yards too.  So this led to our first impromptu game of "ladderball"!!  A really fun game where you throw roped balls at rungs to score points.  The adults seemed to really enjoy that, and we kids chased each other around!!  I wore my "regal" dress outside too - did you know I wear a princess dress most days as soon as I get up in the morning, and put it on again as soon as I get home at night??!


Plus we had some snacks - we got to sit on the lawn chairs that our neighbour Stacey had brought out.  Violet kept putting her boots up to show off - she loves her new candy boots!!!



Finally, today was such a nice day that after our dinnertime, Mummy took Vila and I to the park for a quick playtime (Daddy, we missed you! Enjoy your biz trip tonight!)  Then we heard some tinkling bells and guess what?!  The ice cream truck showed up - yay!!!  We never got to it in time last year, so this was our first ice cream truck experience!  Mummy bought us a soft serve with sprinkles which we shared.  And lots of other kids from my class were there too - who knew that most of them live on the street just a couple over from ours, right near the playground?!  What a fun neighbourhood we have.  That's Mackenize, my friend, in the pic with us.



Hope you all are enjoying springtime too!!!!  Love your springtime princesses, Audrey & Violet xoxo

Top Chefs - Juniors Edition!

Mmmm, yummy, who doesn't love good food?!  And when we're making pizza or muffins (two of Violet and mine's favourite foods), we get excited!  Last night we made pepperoni pizza - here are Violet and I putting on the cheese and pepperoni with Daddy. 

When we were done, Violet did her victory pose - silly Vila!!!
Check us out in action on our video too - we're pretty good right?  Mummy says we're the "Top Chefs - Juniors!"  Sounds good to me.....but Vila is still a bit little, so needs some direction on ingredient distribution sometimes....she likes a vertically loaded pizza it seems! 

This morning, it was time for muffins, and the best kind have chocolate chips in them!  Vila and I helped mummy put the Tinkerbell liners in the pan, plus I helped stir up the batter.  And of course, I was holder of the chocolate chip bag (and shhhh, don't tell, I snuck a couple of c-chip snacks too!)  When they were done, we had a nice brekkie and Violet decided she would take bites instead of Mummy cutting it up.  The muffins were still warm - so she got a little bit of a messy face.  But it's worth it for the joy of the muffin, isn't it?! 
Hope you all are enjoying some good food....and good weather today too!  Since we're all fueled up and the weather is spring-like, off to the park and the outdoors today, yay!!!! xoxo Audrey and Violet

30 Years Too Early


That's what my Daddy says!  xoxo Love Audrey 

PS  Did I tell you my Aunt Holly got engaged to Uncle Guy?  We were wedding dress shopping for her - what fun - but the big reveal on Aunt Holly's dress will be later this summer!!!
