Last couple of days...

Yesterday the weather wasn't too warm so we had to change our plans - we were supposed to spend the day swimming at an outdoor pool with Tess and her Son, but it got cancelled, so Chris went into Edmonton instead and Laurie went to the twins for a sleepover. As we were in town anyway, we ran to Safeway and grabbed some picnic foods and then went to Broadmoor Lake and had a picnic at the playground there :) It was nice!

Today Abigail had a class at the library called Geronimo Stilton and other Rodent adventures.....she had great fun there. We ran into Jennifer and her family there too :)

While Abby was at her class we went and bough Susannahs new bag for school, then after the class we went to the food court for drinks and treats before heading to Chapters to get Abigail a Geronimo Stilton book to go with her class! Then we headed home just before Lloyd did :)

Wednesday night was nice - date night with Lloyd - we went to Joeys Med Grill in Sherwood Park - its been ages since we went there but we didn't eve have to wait and I had a strawberry stiff lemonade yummy :)

After that we went to Costco for a book for me and ran in to Lori and Kevin and stood chatting to them for ages which was nice :)

Now its a three day weekend :)

garden progress..


Our garden is doing well - a lot better than I thought it was going to do! Our tomatoes are doing soooo great!!!! The tomatoes are still quite green so they aren't ready yet but when they redden up we will have soooooo many!!! I can't wait :)

We have had so many strawberries now and the kids LOVE them - they don't make it to the house still - we have a tap by the garden and they egt washed there and eaten straight away :) yummy :)

Broccoli is doing great :) Radishes did sooooo great :)

My golden beets are doing well!

Lloyds lettuce are doing well and the carrots are doing great!

Sams peas are doing great! You can see all the little peas in the pods and that is just sooooo cute! I can't wait for Sam to be able to eat them straight from the pod :)

Our pumpkins are doing GREAT!!!!! :)

I have some sunflowers coming up all over the place but not as many as I had hoped so I want to try the clay method next year.

Our raspberries didn't do as well as we had hoped but the children happily enjoy our wild raspberry bushes on the trails through the woods.

Susie gardening....


Susannah picked all the radishes last night...we had a big tub full by the end :) we love them - they are great for runners and athletes by the way as they are great for muscle tears and for helping your muscles recover from exercise in general :) Great for growing teens too! Yummy :)

Kids love growing radishes because they are one of the fastest growing crops - they only take about three weeks to grow and then they are ready to eat and they grow part out of the ground so the kids can see them growing and see when they are ready to be pulled! My kids love eating them because they love hot spicy foods :)

Sam and the BIG beehive!!!!


We told Sam this was my new BIG beehive :) so he was looking for all the bees :) Imagine how many bees I could keep in a hive THIS big!!!! :)

My Grayson.....


When I am on the computer Grayson will often sleep on the desk beside me or curl up on the printer and sleep :) I have to admit that I love it :)
