Pic Update

Owen went to work with Rob for the past two
Saturdays and he loved it! I loved his
overalls on him

I forgot to take a before pic but, this was a one day project. We
painted white from a blagh yellow and installed
this headboard which is a piece of MDF with a print on it.
On of the fastest and most rewarding renos so far!!

Again, forgot a before pic but we did a quick rearrange of the
furniture and it has made a big improvement. We both really
enjoy hanging out here with the family

On a morning when it wasn't too hot, we
went to the park. I think they were
having a dance party

Then making stone angels, instead of
snow angels

Owen had such a fantastic time at Oma and Grandpas
that he went back again for another week. We met
halfway in Peterborough at the Zoo

We spent the entire time at the splash pad. Kate would
run back every once and a while to show us how
wet she was the run back to find Owen

I don't know how we did it but we managed to
convince them both to come and eat some lunch

We've had a good amount of rain, finally!

So it was off to the park for us.

Kate spent at least half an hour jumping

Pure joy

An early morning painting session

Followed by a strip down and play in the rain
to wash off the paint

I grew my own SCOBY then brewed my first batch
of kombucha. I have set it up as a
continuous brew method, hopefully I have sucess 

Mmmmm, morning lattes and a treat. You can also
see the two poufs I made in a day. I am really
enjoying my sewing room, it's a great space just for
me to get creative.

 

After work this week the boys went for back
to school haircuts. I'm really digging his cut and
might just go visit his stylist soon!

My handsome boy

Pic Update

Kate has become quite quick with the markers

I left her alone for a moment and came back to this

and this, with a ton of laughter

I eventually convinced her to sit

Owen finally came home after two weeks
up at my parents. It was so exciting to see him again

I got my Mom to shave my head again, Rob gets
too nervous doing it

Summertime lunch platter for the kids

Kate found Sean's old dog and insisted on
dressing it and putting a diaper on it

Thanks to Airmiles, we have a family size tent. Rob
and I were able to set it up surprisingly fast

The boys have set up and have been camping out
there a few times now. Yes, that's an airmattress
and TV set up in there.

I was so distracted with Kate painting circles and
choices of colours that I didn't notice...

this happening

Yup, I'm full on bragging here. She purposely put
the marker in her hand like that in order to draw.

We packed up the car Friday morning and headed
up to the Elmvale Zoo

It was a perfect day for it

Owen fed to giraffe and Kate immediately had to
do the same.

Then came the goats. I'm guessing we were in
there for half an hour with 20 or so little
goats just wandering around. Kate couldn't
get enough of it and Owen loved when they
were chewing on his shoes

These goats were surprisingly calm for how may
kids were in there

It took us about and hour and a half to walk through
the it was time to play in the park

and an ice cream break. It was a wonderful summer
vacation day with the kids.
Only four more weeks left!!
