We recently purchased a small camera that can be mounted for an upcoming video project, so I decided to put it to the test. On Ethan.
It’s very interesting to see the world from Ethan’s perspective. Thanks for the show, Ethan!

The other night we rented a carpet cleaner and got busy cleaning up our upholstery and white carpet.
Yesterday, Ethan decided he wanted to try out the potty again. That is good. He sat for awhile and, victory, he did a number 2!
Naomi was busy getting the girls dressed and Ethan finally got himself down off the potty and ran to the other room where Naomi was.. and defeat, he went number 1 on the freshly cleaned carpet.
We had a spontaneous and somewhat cheesy talent show erupt the other night. The girls wanted to sing O Canada, but then they kept going, making up songs as they went.
Not sure what else to say about that..
Leaves. We have lots of them at our new house. I now suddenly understand the reason someone decided to invent the leaf blower! I have raked the yard about 4 or 5 times now, and the snow has mercifully covered up the latest crop so I can forget about it until spring. But a few weeks ago, the weather was warmer and the kids came outside while I was raking to “help”.
“Help” from Ethan usually amounted to him waiting until I had a nice big pile of leaves, then he would shuffle his feet through the middle, do a sharp turn and attack the pile from a different direction, thereby ensuring maximum leaf dispersion.
The girls were only too happy to carry armfuls of leaves onto my deck, but when asked to put them in the compost heap they would break out in a chorus of discontent.

I really didn’t mind of course. Their best efforts at chaos only take a minute to reorganize and we are thrilled to have a big yard for them to play in.
