Ooopppsss.... sorry about the miss fire on last nights blog... we had spent the day travelling to Ottawa, and I was helping Shawn change a serpentine belt on his Van last night, so just no time for blogging...
Today was a great day, as we had to take care of Emmie and Paige for the day. The weather is a bit off, with overcast and cloudy sky, but that did not dampen the day.
Things may appear a little different today, as I am doing the blog direct from blogger, with no Windows Live Writer on my Son's laptop, as I forgot my laptop back at the RV... oh well.
The kids were able to get outside and play a bit this morning while the weather was not bad...
Always time for a swing...
On Wednesday night we had a little visitor, Sophie came over for a while. She is a good friend of the Ottawa Hollingers... Her Mom and Dad went to see Harry Potter... 
Paige and Emmie put on a dress up show for us today... 
Just lots of fun going on in Ottawa. While playing with the kids today, I was amazed at how many of the toys out there today play music or talk to the kids... check these out...
Paige has a horse that plays music and talks and sings...
Who ever heard of a broom that talks???
Or a tea pot that has sound...
This was only a small sampling of the toys they have that sing, dance, play songs, talk, walk, crawl, or just about anything you want it to do.
I remember as a kid, any toy that I had that needed a battery, was real big and heavy, and the battery was ALWAYS dead! Not today...
Till tomorrow...
How fun! I remember getting to be a princess for a day. =]
ReplyDeleteWhat a great day. Watching over Princesses is always a joy.

nothing better than a day with the grands...I'm sure missing ours and am looking forward to getting home to have a visit with them...yours are adorable :0)
ReplyDeleteyes it is funny how 'toys' have changed..I can remember at Christmas and the toys with the batteries were few and far between!..nice day with the 'girls'!!
ReplyDeleteNice videos of a great day with the 'Grands'. Yes, today's toys have come a long way from the 'lettered blocks' we used to play with to learn our 'letters'.
ReplyDeleteThey are so adorable... Loved the photos!!! It brought back memories of my grand daughters when they were small.

How much fun is that. What a great yard for the youngsters and so many fun toys. My four granddaughters are now 9-14 years old and I STILL keep a selection of dress up clothes in the closet for them...and they still love to use them. Unfortunately, they no longer play with talking horses or teapots :((
