The best kind of Saturday :)


We are having the best kind of Saturday.....lazing on the bed having a Greys Anatomy marathon....some really good episodes today - and right now it's the AMAZING episode after Callie's car accident....where they are trying to save her life and the life of her baby...I keep flitting between crying and laughing (If you've seen the episode you'll understand why......

Gawd I love this show - it gets better and better with every episode.....I think I'm now head over hills in lust with Mark Sloane...which means I've moved on from McDreamy at the beginning, to Dr Karev......and now to Dr Sloane.....

Geez I'm so fickle hahahah  ;)

Anyway Lexi just sang 'Breathe' to Mark when he was crying on the stairs....wooooow is there anything more sexy than a man in tears??????  Hmmmm I don't know what it is but there is something sooooo sexy about a man able to show his emotions and feelings like that lol....ppfft even on a tv show....



See??  sad/ funny/ sad/ funny....a little annoying/ sad/ funny/ sad/ funny.....  lmao!!

Love!!


I think I am going to sign up for Willowing's 'Life Book' class....It starts in January and lasts for 12 months.  It involves 12 mixed media artists and endless lessons and prompts....I think I will gain so much from it....I took one of her classes a couple of years ago and learnt so much about drawing faces.  


very true!!

soooo cute!!

Bricks4Kidz

Sam and Abby started a new class this week called 'Bricks4Kidz' which is a class that uses Lego to teach  skills that cover the topics across the curriculum - math, science, Language Arts, Social, etc etc.  
It was designed by Engineers, architects and teachers.  

Sam loved the class can can't wait until the next one.  

Abigail was dealing with tiredness and side effects from having her meds doubled, and didn't enjoy it quite so much, but I'm hoping she gets more from it next month.

Snapshots of home in the Fall.....






The flock of birds that make the funny noises flew over last night on their way South...I still don't know what they are....they make a sound a bit like gobbling turkeys lol....and are quite large black birds that look as though they are water fowl.  They fly in big V form flocks like geese....they fly over each Spring and Fall.  We went out on the roof to watch them :)  

Mmmmmmm!!


Thank you Lorraine

End of the month tag - September


What books and/or magazines did I read this month?    Art journaling magazine and a few magazines that Sharon gave to me.  
What movies, television shows, plays, etc. did I watch this month?   I took Sam to see Pirates of the Caribbean (was it #4??) at the cheap theatre...and I watched Bridesmaids again the day it was released on dvd :)  I also started watching last years Greys Anatomy with Susannah on dvd with Susannah - one or two episodes a night :)
What fun things did I do with my family and/or friends?  Sooooo many fun things :)  You would have to check out my pictures on Facebook to see everything :)  I did post about a few of the things here on my blog, but I don't post everything here as it's too open.  September was yet another busy, fulfilling and very VERY  fun month :)  
What gifts did I give and/ or receive?   I treated Laurence and Susannah to a concert at Rexall with their friends to see Maroon 5 and Train - as a BIG thank you for being there for me and for all their help over the last 18 months.  They deserved it :)  Lorraine gave me two bottles of the yummiest coffee syrups this week - vanilla and Tiramisu - which she tells me is also amazing in hot chocolate!!  I got Abigail a treat this week because she was feeling so low from having to deal with having her meds doubled and it was a struggle for her all week.  Cori gave Abigail a HUGE box of Littlest Pet Shop toys from her Daughter.
What special or unusual purchases did I make?     I bought Laurence a coat but I was really surprised by his choice.  It really suits him and is very stylish - I'm glad he picked one like it but I'm still surprised by his choice.  I'm glad he's growing up with his own style rather than following the herd :)
What illnesses or health concerns did I have?  I don't remember being ill....maybe a migraine here or there but no major complaints this month - my focus this month has been on Abigail...
What were my accomplishments this month?  I managed to get a lot of artwork done and am almost at the point I can set up the Etsy store.  I think I am almost ready for November which is great :)  I am really proud of how much my work is improving.  I love that I am finding my own style.   I applied for two jobs this month and although one didn't pan out, it looks as though I have at least one of them :)  I think it will be much better to have several small jobs like this - my art, and the small part time jobs...rather than one main job - this way I can still homeschool and have the children with me and it benefits them too :)  
What were my disappointments this month?  Allowing toxic people to affect my progress and the person I am....the person I am becoming.  Not being able to afford to fix the childrens bathroom for them.  I know they find this frustrating.  

Anything else noteworthy to include?    September went so fast!  We had some amazing weather - the trees changed from green to gold and are now almost bare.  We had some amazing fields trips and started some fun classes.  We met some new friends and have already had our facilitators meeting for the year!  I started, AND COMPLETED, Shimelle's 'Learn Something New Every Day' class.....and am pleased to have the finished album :)  
It was a good month :)
