Emma and Ewan's World: March 2013

Painting Emma's Room and Ewan Want's to Crawl

November 14, 2010

After the bee's in Emma's wall Daddy and Emma had a bit of painting to do. Emma got her very own painting shirt (from daddy's drawer) and the two of them got to work.

Meanwhile in the next room, Ewan had mommy busy and surprised by his up on knees rocking as if he wanted to start crawling.

At this point I'm thinking he will be crawling by Christmas, but right now he isn't 6 months yet so it seems a bit ambitious to see him so willing to give it a shot.

Back in Emma's room, painting has begun! Both Daddy and Emma did an excellent job and in no time at all the wall was back to normal.

A Day at the Children's Museum

November 6, 2010

It's been a long time since we've gotten to take Emma to the Children's museum. We renewed our membership, walked from the ESET building all the way to the CM with me wearing Ewan in our Ergo baby carrier and Donald and Emma happily skipping all the way. When we got there Emma was greeted by a musical treat and got to join in with her own musical talents.

Then it was off to the chariot races!

Since Ewan was happily snuggled into me in the ergo baby carrier Donald and Emma were set free to be artistic for the day

They made cool things out of clay and then went and made fall leaves for a tree

They spent a ton of time in the rain house and did story time in the Trojan horse while I feed Ewan in one of their super comfy rockers, and then we were off to the bottom floor for some fun make believe dress up time. Not sure who love this more.

We walked back up to little Italy for some Burger Lounge yummy goodness, where Ewan finally crashed out from all the excitement of the day.

Party and Trick or Treating

October 30, 2010

We went to Cate and Will's Halloween party. It was so much fun. It gave the kids both a chance to wear their costumes and have fun dressed up with all their friends.

Emma got to spend a fair amount of time in the jumpy and Ewan got lots of cuddles from his daddy.

Then we were off to decorate pumpkins with foam stickers and hit the bat with a bat pinata. The bat was indestructible and finally after beating it like crazy one of the older kids was able to knock off a wing and candy went flying!

Then the princesses fled to the royal sandbox to look for burried jewels, but sadly came up empty handed.

The next day went went trick or treating in our neighborhood with Emma's friends Mikael, Sierra, and Yasmine. The kids had a blast! Ewan called it quits a bit early so dad finished the rounds with his little princess before coming home with the loot.

Maid Marion and Astronaut Boy

This year for Halloween I handed over the Chasing Fireflies Catalog of Halloween costumes and let Emma pick any costume she wanted. After just seeing How to Train Your Dragon in the movies (about Vikings) Emma wanted to be a viking princess. The outfit was WAAAAY too adult and I knew she would freeze in the cold fall night while trick or treating. So I asked her why she like the outfit so much. She said she Loved the shoes (yes she is my daughter through and through). So I told her that the same shoes were also for the Maid Marion outfit and she was sold! Thank goodness (sigh of relief). The outfit was worth every penny. It is made so well and I got so many amazing pictures of Emma in her costume. I'm also thinking of new art after this photo shoot too!

If Emma wasn't spending her time contimplating the needs of her kingdom in a very serious way then she was walking through the trees singing the song only a princess of England could.

Luckily I get to pick Ewan's costumes for a few more years before he starts making demands as super heroes or villains. Since the shuttle program is ending in the US I wanted to make one last stand for astronauts everywhere and so Ewan got to be an astronaut. Eat your heart out Neil Armstrong. Ewan is as charming and as cute and as handsome as an astronaut can get.

The outfit came with official NASA patches and they even embroidered Ewan's name across the chest. Another win for great costumes. Extremely well made and kept my little guy worm during trick or treating.

Just before Halloween

October 20, 2010

With Halloween quickly approching Emma has gotten really excited about all things Halloween and drew this super awesome spider complete with eyelashes!

Finally got a few shots of her in her ballet class today as well! Super excited to get some of her dancing!

We also got to go over to Grandpa Honey Bunny's house for his birthday. Ewan got to sit in his cousin Alex chair and felt like a big boy even though his chubby legs barely fit. Surprisingly Emma fits better in the chair than Ewan. Got to love chubby baby legs.

Photos Photos and More Photos

October 19, 2010

Usually don't like to just do a bomb of unrelated photos but I have a few that are just so cute that I want to share that I took at some point in the last few weeks or so.

Enjoy!

Super proud of Emma. walked into the room and found her spelling out her name!

Emma has a love of dandelions, but I guess what kid at this age doesn't?

A few more of Emma's amazing masterpieces. Above is her super cool Halloween spider and below is a cute little girl with eyelashes rosy cheeks and lipstick!

Daddy was away in Washington DC, see above. So Holly and Dave come over to help me with the kids one night. See below.

So of course I had to take plenty of pictures for Donald of his little loves at bedtime or even asleep.

Seriously love the above photo as well as the below photo.

Emma is reading to Winni the Pooh to Ewan!

This super awesome picture of Emma sleeping I have to give complete credit to Donald! Great shot Daddy, love her sleeping pose complete with kisses from Moo Callaum.
