Fixing bikes...




Sam and Abby are loving their bikes right now....I park my car way over on the grass and they have drawn a road system on the concrete pad - they even take their bikes in to the 'shop' regularly to fix them!!!  They use Lloyds tools and take off the training wheels from Sams bike and then put them back in again.....they just really love using the tools.....and proving how independent they are :)  then they head off down the driveway and back again!!

Henna Tattoos....






When I went away with Val and Tess a couple of weekends ago, one of the things we did in the hotel, was henna tattoos,  It was something I had never done before, but it was fun :)  

I'm not very good at it (lol) but I had fun anyway :)  

They lasted about 10 days.....

I'd definitely like to do this again!!!

Snuggling Keegan......

Tess spotted this on a recent road trip to BC and thought of me....

I can't think why!!

Scrapbook/ playdate...







Today we headed up to North Edmonton for a playdate with some friends.  It was a lovely day!!!  Sam and Abby got to play with some of their very favourite friends - and got to meet some new friends too!!  I got to hang out with some of my friends...and learn a new mini album technique....

We also got to celebrate Joannes birthday a few days late!!!  We had an amazing lunch outside in the sunshine, followed by the yummiest birthday cake ever!!  We all put together and gave Joanne some tubs of flowers/ hanging baskets for her garden....

I took the opportunity to slip out for a while and walked around to a friends house to say hello - I stopped in on Bobbie to say hello and chat for a little while, before Val sent me a text to say lunch was ready!  It was lovely to see Bobbie as I rarely see her!!

All in all a lovely day!!

Home to see Susie and then I had to go and pick Laurence up from drama club.......he has gymnastics club tonight......

The weather tonight is gorgeous....breezy but sunny and warm....

I try not to, but I can't help but miss Lloyd on evenings like this.....

blah....

Mud pie maker...


Now the weather is good, Sam spends much of his free time back in the mud pile at the side of the work shop.....he loved this last year and adores it still - it's obviously much more fun than the gorgeous sandbox his Daddy made for him!!  He often turns the hose on and creates even more mud!!!

You may notice the colour of scruffy Rosie lying down in the background who is Sams accomplice in the mud pie making....I'm not sure she qualifies as a 'golden' retriever any more ;)
