November

Sam spent half of October and a bit into November pretty sick so she missed quite a bit of Halloween and Sparks celebrations. Her ear drum ruptured from an ear infection and that was part of it. The cough that came with it lingered on for a couple of more weeks and ended up getting worse. Now she's much better but I'm tired of being on lock down. Back to school now and all is much better. Besides catching up on lots of homework, she kept occupied with an amazing get well gift I found for her at London Drugs. A perfect steal for only $14.99!

Cardboard castle she can color!

When we moved into the condo, Sam got the small room which was really challenging to furnish with a simple bed and dresser. To maximize space, I bought her a loft bed second hand from a friend that also turned her room into a fantastic play area!

 She was also invited to a couple of birthday parties where one was held at a ballet studio. Tutus were made for each girl in their favorite color....Sam's was red.

And of course just sitting back for snuggle time with our Max is always a great way to spend sick days.....
