.....is just an ordinary day, chez nous.
(Yes, those are fairy wings......an almost constant accessory since the newest Barbie movie came out....what's it called?...Barbie and the fairy secret or something.)
Dahlia's been on this experimental kick lately and is fascinated with snow. In all it's forms. So, she's been collecting it in these little heart containers and freezing them, or watching them melt and timing them and making a mess I caught this little scene the other day.
And here is the mad scientist with her ever present side-kick.
Mission accomplished.
(Wonder how long those hearts will take to freeze up solid?)
"Let's drag our paraphernalia up to the next project."
"Bunny? Check. Kitty? Check
Little side-kick sister? Check!"
"Good-bye Mother. We've places to go and things to do!"
("Hmmmm.........science class, drama lessons or... budding bag lady?")
Hi, I'm Wanda. I am a happy woman, wife to Danny for...oh....lots a years and finally Mom to THE most adorable little girl from Hunan, China - Dahlia. And now we have been blessed again with another daughter, Milana, from Zhejiang, China. (The 2 best things I've ever done!)
We live in the Montreal area. After a loooonnngg wait for Dahlia's little sister Milana (pronounced - Mee-lana, like banana), we finally brought her home in August 2009. Dahlia came to us in Nov 2004 (at 20 months of age)and a year later we began the application for another baby - at the time the waiting period was around 8 months. Almost 4 years later (say what!?!)we, at last, brought Milana home.
This began as the story of our journey to bring Milana home and life with her big sister, Dahlia. It now continues as we live as a family of four!
God.
My (growing) family.
Hangin' out with my girlies.

So adorable! We have that video here too. Watched it for the first time yesterday with my sick little one. She's already asking for the Barbie that changes into a fairy (like she doesn't already have half a dozen of those...) and the next video that will be coming out in the fall. Gotta hand it to Barbie...they certainly know how to market their products well. :-)
Oh my gosh! This is too cute Wanda! I absolutely LOVE it : ) I love her little mischevous smile! Like she knows she has a secret : ) What a fun child. I am so glad that you get to be the mother of such a budding genius : )
This is so cute! And I love her name, always been a favorite of mine! The snow hearts is so sweet, but I bet you're ready for spring!

Well, at least she put them in the fridge and not in an underwear drawer or somewhere not-so-ideal... =)
Cute post and great pictures. Your final comment really gave me a chuckle!!!!
luv u me
Oh they are soooo darling! {and I wish my house looked like yours!! ha ha!}
P.S. - Your profile pic? WOW!!!
I think you are the prettiest person I know...
Bag lady or whatever...it's all good. I'm totally loving that 'mad' seated photo. Priceless. Happy snow.

How adorable! Love the fairy wings. Your girls are so pretty! Don't you just love children's curiosity? I'm sure you'll have a lot more experiments to witness. =)
LOVE seeing your mad scientist with her sidekick working on their experiment. Fun times!
And the Secret Fairy Barbie and movie is a huge hit in our house too. :)

Both girls are really pretty and I think it is wonderful you let her experiment. She will remember it longer because of the special moments made (and ice hearts)
I smiled ( the big goofy type ) from beginning to end! I remember those secret missions and wondering how it would all turn out....fairy wings just add to D's already considerable charms!!!
And her wee sidekick? Well, of course she's in on the secret too....cuz that always makes it more fun!! At our house we have one plus two also....two sprites hard at work turning things upside down as they can!! I love it!
And this? Was pure fun!!! Hmm....wonder what they will be up to next??? :)
Oh MAN....this post just cracked me up. What they think of. I love how creative she was to put them in girly heart shaped containers rather than snowballs in ziplock bags! She is her mother's daughter.
What a great slice of life at your house!
I could eat those two up....Dahlia looks so "summer-y" in her adorable tie dyed nightgown...though I know you are suffering the same "winter that wouldn't leave" as we are.
Its so nice to see Milana tagging along with her big sis....and Dahlia LETTING HER!
