My Own Little Pirate Fairies…

I think you can guess what movie my kids have been watching....     … [Read more...]

Princess Leia Saves the Day… {Wordless Wednesday}

April 2, 2014 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

This is one page taken from a "book" the six year old created as a gift for the four year old, in which Princess Leia saves her sister. Hubby tried to point out that Princess Leia doesn't have a sister, but he was quickly corrected. "Sure she does, we just don't know about her yet."   Here you see Princess Leia in one snazzy colourful dress, as she sneaks across … [Read more...]

Board Game Made by 3 Year Old

February 19, 2014 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

This is the "board game" my three year old laid out to play with me. For dice we rolled small dolls and then she yelled out to me how many spaces I was allowed to move. Crazy silly, but fun. … [Read more...]

Hearts for Heads

February 5, 2014 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

Rainbow has for a while now been drawing these wacky people with hearts for heads. I get a kick out of it. I think for a six year old the kid's a pretty decent artist. … [Read more...]

Princesses Are Tough, Boss Level

January 22, 2014 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

This is our Thomas Train table, transformed from the Isle of Sodor into pirate islands. My favourite part of this set up is those two princesses standing at the top of the mountain. When I asked my six-year old daughter about it she had this to say, "If you manage to fight your way past all the pirates there are still the two princesses defending everything. They're like... … [Read more...]

Yabba Dabba Who??

January 10, 2014 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

My daughter came home from her French Immersion Grade School singing about the days of the week, in French, to the tune of the Flintstones theme song. Lundi, Mardi, Mecredi, Jeudi, Vendredi, Samedi, Dimanche.  I wasn't paying attention to what she was singing and I chimed in with "Some day maybe Fred will win the fight and that cat will stay out for the night." and she looked … [Read more...]

Once a time…. Stories that Three Year Olds Tell

November 21, 2013 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

My three year old's story telling skills amuse me. She will often sit at the dining table with me after lunch and tell me "the story from her head", which always starts with "Once a time" and often features inanimate objects such as hair or cutlery that "walk with legs" and come to a bad end when they go into the dark forest after their mum tells them not to. Today she was … [Read more...]

Monster Surprise! New Monsters University Kinder Surprise Eggs

August 2, 2013 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

I am raising some pretty unique kids over here. I have two ferocious and fierce monster loving little girls on my hands. So of course the new Monsters University themed Kinder Eggs have been a big hit around our house. Which is perfect timing because I have finally found a way to coerce my three year old into staying dry all day. If she can make her cloth trainer last all the … [Read more...]

The one in which my kids love each other, sort of.

July 9, 2013 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

Lately right after having done something horrid Rocket will look at you and say, "But you still love me, right?" or often to her sister she will say, "But we still friends!".  Today Rainbow looked at her and said, "No, we are not friends. I'm not your friend I'm your Sister." and I thought to myself, "Oh goodness, this isn't going to go well". Rocket insisted "I is your … [Read more...]

On Five Year Old Logic and Lava Raisins

April 30, 2013 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

Yesterday I walked into my front room to find an upside down yellow plastic bowl and about three cups worth of raisins spread over the front room floor. I was none too impressed but I decided to keep my cool, not freak over the fact that Rainbow had helped herself to an overabundance of raisins, and instead just asked her to clean the mess up. The discussion went a bit like … [Read more...]
