Happy 39th Birthday Clare.......

Tomorrow (today????) the 6th of August is my Sisters 39th birthday!

Happy Birthday Clare! Enjoy your last year of being a thirty-something!

Above are a few pictures of Clare before she reached the grand old age of 39 ;)

Although I'm sure she hasn't aged a bit in the 5 years since I last saw her ;)

In the above pics Clare is on the left in the one of the three of us behind the sofa,
and on the right in the other two pictures....as you can see Clare always had stunning hair styles....

Oh and the gorgeous naked babe is none other than yours truly lol.....cool look huh? Welly boots and a fishing net...nothing else needed lol!

A little paranoid.......

Someone on LP asked if anyone still had their Christmas lights up.....and almost unanimously people said no because its awful ro have them up all year round.....

Well, we keep our 'fairylights' up all year round...they are strung around our porch and I LOVE them....on Summer evenings (like tonight) we have them on and sit out on the porch until way after dark enjoying their glow.....

So tacky or not, awful or not, this is how my house looks right now....and I love it :)

And hey, our nearest neighbour is 3 or more acres away so all that matters really is that we like it ;)

Spending the evening on the porch....

The hummingbirds often sit on our Christmas lights in the evening....

Bridge to Terabithia....

We just got through watching a family movie..The Bridge to Terabithia....what a lovely movie...May Belle makes me want to have another little girl - she reminds me of Susie when she was that age....

Beautiful movie, sweet storyline....and yes I bawled my eyes out :) As did Laurence who was watching it for the second time :(

Two more....

A couple more pages I've done today......

Love them...

I just love three day weekends.......We are having the laziest, slowest, most relaxing weekend in sooooooo long!!!!! Its just really nice! And tomorrow Lloyd is home too :) So we will have another relaxing day tomorrow too :)

Brothers......

I especially love this picture of Laurence with samuel....Laurie was catching frogs to look at and he showed one to Sam...I love how Sam is holding his hands and how Laurie was taking the time to show his little brother the frog...

A work in progress....

This is where I have been sat most of this weekend, working on my scrapbook pages....

Butterfly beauties....

The girls in some masks they made from a Butterfly activity kit Grandma gave Abigail......

Stormy weather....

A few pictures of the cloud formations we had yesterday during the tornado watch.....

Movie star......

Thinking of you....

A lady I know online.....someone who sometimes reads my blog......is going through a VERY difficult time right now. I just want her to know that she is in my thoughts. I hope this difficult time passes very quickly and that life becomes good again very soon.

I know you are probably far far too busy and preoccupied to be reading blogs right now, but you are in my thoughts and I hope you stay safe and find the strength to get through everything you are dealing with - it seems you have had so much thrown at you lately. Good things are just around the corner for you, I'm sure.

Thinking of you, with much love

Ssssssshhhhh!!!

I am in here hiding. We have spent the better part of today going through all the boxes in Lloyds workshop - all the boxes we hadn't unpacked since moving...all the boxes of toys that have been taken to the workshop to store in the last year or so....all the boxes of old clothes and things from the UK and crap we have collected over the last 6 years since arriving in Canada....

I have helped and now I'm bored....it's a tedious job....but I know it needs to be done before the barn is pulled down (the barn is attached to the workshop)

But for a few minutes I'm in here hiding. I said I was taking a bathroom break.....so shhhhh and don't tell anyone!
