day 180


Last day of Kindergarden..sniff, sniff...  It was a bittersweet kind of day, I'm guessing the rain didn't help.  I think the kids felt it too.  I had to laugh, when the teacher let the parents in to take a group picture, they were all in formation...without a smile to be seen!  I don't know if they were all so tired, that they didn't have the energy to be excited, or they were actually sad that it was over.

day 178


This is a picture I took yesterday, while I was waiting for the boys to return from a pit stop.  I love signs...especially if they are all peely, and grungy.

day 177


Today, we went for a nice drive through the country, to our one of our favourite spots along the river.  There is a nice, sandy beach - perfect to play in.... most of the time.  Apparently, the river is exceptionally high, and there were no nice sandy beaches to be seen.  The water was actually lapping into the parking lot.  Oh, well it was a nice day for a drive!

Mini-music concert with the Kindergarden class at school.  My boy was so nervous - but it was pretty cute.

day 171


I was going to start out this post by apologizing for this seemingly boring shot.  I was going to apologize for being 'That Mom" who turns on all the lights in her sleeping son's room and takes a picture with the flash, because the light still stinks (luckily, he didn't wake up).  But, in between conjuring up witty sentiments and apologetic quips... I fell in love with this picture.

day 170


Happy Father's Day. 

The day our boy was born.  I remember the nurse's surprise when only seconds after being born, our wee baby heard his daddy's voice say 'hello' and turned his little head towards him.  He recognized his voice.  Sweet memories.

day 169

I want to remember....


THIS.  Father and Son Saturday lunches.  They have been doing this for a couple of years now.  They slide their chairs close and have lunch together.  Not every Saturday, but enough to make it a tradition... a memory.

Gearing up for the big game tomorrow!  Go Canucks. 
Besides that, there isn't much happening photowise.... am I in a rut?  Who knows!  I need inspiration!

Sorry for the not so great picture, but this is my new 'toy'.  I had completed some surveys on one of those time wasting websites and 'earned' gift certificates for amazon.ca ... after a while, I had enough to get this!

day 162


Today, we attended a surprise 60th Birthday party for my husband's uncle.  It was such a nice, relaxing time.  I loved watching my boy run around with the other kids and just be kids.  They even got a game of touch football in.

day 159



My patio makes me smile.  I love opening my curtains in the morning and looking out at it.  I love my mish-mash of furniture.  And sitting under my umbrella with a cold drink and a book or magazine takes me a million miles away.

day 156


The homemade hair cut.... I felt kind of guilty as I watched my husband shave him down.... but his hair was getting so long, and we're trying to cut back on some expenses - so this will have to do for this summer.  I used to trim his hair when he was young, but he has been going to the barber for a while now.  So, he will either look back on this hair cut with horror (I have some of those) or he won't care one bit...who knows.

Summer is here for a few days, so we're making the most of it!

I did a ton of cooking today!  We had friends over for dinner.  We had lasagne (with homemade pasta), caesar salad (with homemade dressing), foccacia bread from scratch... and for dessert- Red Velevet Cupcakes with cream cheese icing.

Go Canucks Go!  What an exciting game!  You can feel the excitement everywhere.

(Any tips on how to fix the part that is blown out on the right side of the picture would be helpful - thanks!)
