Saturday's over already.....

Today went so fast :( I hope the rest of the weekend doesn't go as fast........this morning Lloyd and I went out quadding while Sam was asleep........we made a trail through the woods and across the back field...the woods are so overgrown right now so we took a saw and cut down some of the trees and bushes......it was fun......we left a few logs etc lying across the path to make it more fun.....its quite hilly and twisty in places and will be a great trail...Laurie will love it!

I worked on my portfolio again today and also researched business cards and website designs etc........we went into town to get a few supplies........We tried Staples at first....they didn't have anything suitable and it was soooooo busy with parents buying last minute school supplies...yet again I'm reminded how wonderful it is not to be a part of the back to school frenzy......... I ended up buying a portfolio with black card stockin Michaels........

We also went to Costco and did our grocery shopping....we go every three weeks......while we were at Costco we got Sams passport pictures done ready.....that was interesting to say the least! I picked up the pictures I had ordered yesterday including a few in 8 x 10 for the portfolio.......

Home again and Lloyd lit a fire to burn some of the wood that has been collecting up and the empty packaging/ boxes........I cleaned up after the dogs and the children played with the hose for a while........

Abigail was in her fairy costume so I grabbed the camera and took her down to the pond for some pictures...I kept her entertained asking her what she was going to ask Santa for (a train for Sam so he doesn't steal her train pieces any more lol) and what her favourite ice cream was......(she doesn't know.....too many!!)

For dinner we had garlic veggieballs in a Thai red chilli sauce....with rice. Sounds yucky but I tried them at Costco and they were yummy....but WOW they are so filling...they look tiny so I cooked far too many but you can only eat a few before you feel so full!

It was HOT today.......wonderful for September......it was nice to be outside a lot. Englands gettinga wet start to September....but they've had a great summer I believe........

Nana....(Jacquie) if you read this I just want you to know I'm thinking of you........I hope you're having a good day!!!

So now Sam is in bed and the girls will be soon...then Lloyd and I will go out quadding again......its a wonderful time to drive around the acreage with the sun setting and the dogs running beside us.......I may take my little camera and get some pictures of Lloyd on his quad.........

He says he likes me on my quad because it makes my boobs jiggle!!!!! And there I was thinking he was smiling at me because he loves me lol! I should've known!!!!

We slept in this morning so we may stay up later and watch a movie tonight.......

We have no plans for the next two days yet.....just a list of things we want to do but not sure when..........maybe the TWOS........maybe Rutherford House......maybe Elk.........maybe.........who knows.......but we'll do something! I love three day weekends...........

Flower fairy.......










I took these pictures of Abigail down by the pond this afternoon..........just playing about with lighting etc......and she was happy to pose as she had been playing in her fairy dress all afternoon......

I can see quite a few mistakes I made with lighting/ shadows and the sun catching her face in certain places etc....but I need the practice right now until I figure out Photoshop..........then I guess I can alter all the imperfections afterwards but for now the pictures are basically in their natural state and all I do is crop. Not ideal..........
