Froggy





Lloyd caught another frog and brought him in for the children to watch........we put him in a box and the children watched him for a while....Sam was desperate to hold him so Lloyd held his hand open for him to hold froggy without squeezing.....he was so happy to get to hold him....we put froggy on the floor and let him hop around for a while and the children thought it was amazing how high he could jump.......then Susie carried froggy down to the pond and let him go back to his friends......

My Favourite View


This is the view from my big cozy chair.....where I sit and read most days...where I sit with the children and read.....where I curl up and relax.....I have a quillow and a throw on my chair and can sit and relax here for hours......the view is of my long winding driveway...I can't even see the end of the driveway now that summer is here and the trees are so leafy....



This is my favourite thing to see from my favourite chair :)
Lloyd arriving home from work!

My boobs flobble

So I went to Regis last night to have my hair cut.......Erin is back which is wonderful....she left because of allergies last year and I really missed her.....I don't think we stopped laughing the whole time she was cutting my hair. She always does such a great job too.....I was really unsure what to do about my hair this time as I was fed up with it long but not sure I wanted it short either......so she kept the length but layered it up and gave the ends a really blunt look which I love! She had me in hysterics telling me about how her DH has said its him or a dog and she's considering the dog ;)

Laurie is watching something on tv and keeps coming in to tell me all kinds of weird facts he's learning, like how welding heat is hotter than volcanic lava!!! And how a snowflake takes up ten times the space of a rain drop......and how the moon effects the tides........

Chris is reading......I have no idea what the girls are doing but they're quiet....everyones kind of quiet today...it's been a busy few days and I think we're all tired........

There is an art walk on Whyte Ave this weekend so I think Lloyd and I may take a stroll along there one day.....maybe get brunch there on Sunday instead of closer to home.....

Ok here's another funny from Abigail:

She was watching me get dressed this morning and as I was putting my bra on she asks "Is that your boob knickers?' So I explain its my bra....to keep my boobs up and stop them wobbling about.......so she then asks "Do your boobs flobble?" so I say "yes Abby, my boobs definitely flobble!"

Another cool thing I saw on the news this morning is that the city of Edmonton just started tours around certain cemetaries....I used to love these tours back in London...most cities back home do these tours where you can learn about the history of the people buried there...hear ghost stories etc etc......the London cemetaries are facsinating with the likes of Karl Marx etc etc......and even the little village where my parents live has T S Elliott buried there......and the church where my Mom grew up has the Turbevilles buried there...the family that Thomas Hardy based his Tess of the D'urbevilles book on.........

Well Edmonton doesn't have quite the history of England, but it's still fascinating...so I am hoping to go on one of these cemetary tours.....(hint hint Lloyd - want a date night in a cemetary????)

Heavenly sunset.......






When we got back from the mall last night around 9:30pm, Lloyd and I went for a walk. The sun was setting and the sky was just beautiful...there had been storm just north of us and there was a beautiful rainbow too.......we get a lot of beautiful sunsets at the front of the house, but the best ones are in the late Fall.........

The last picture is of the back of our house.....we stood talking about it for a while and how different it will look.....we still can't understand why they didn't add the extra winbdow on the left for the bathroom....it looks weird with that window missing......it will be interesting to see just how different the rear of the house looks ina couple of years when the extension is built.....
