Nantucket Lightship Baskets..

I had never heard of these baskets but after watching them being made, I think it will definitely be something I get one day - there are very few on Ebay right now.......and after being on Martha prices are sure to rise....

They are stunning and it really is amazing to see them being made.

Cape Cod and Nantucket are on my list of places I want to visit anyway....and now so is visiting a craft shop to see these being made for real.......

Harvest time.....






Sam checking out the hay bales yesterday!

Hump day catch-ups......

I've been so tired since the weekend. Like really,really, falling-asleep tired! I've reduced my meds and I am using my litebox every morning and it hasn't made any difference at all.....

This weekend we are off to Jasper. There are 4 of us going...anyone else want to come? Room for 4 more in the car!!! With 4 of us going its about $70 or so each but the more that go, the less it will cost :) We leave Saturday morning and will come back Sunday evening. It should be a lot of fun :) Girls only - oh and adults only :) No kidlets allowed :)

Oh and if anyone is insured to drive other peoples vehicles, you are welcome to share the driving!

I hate flies...I mean really HATE them.....I bought a new can of fly killer yesterday and have been on a murdering frenzy ever since. I swear you can barely breathe in my home because I have been spraying it so much (Val can vouch for this lol!) Our crappy old windows don't have the mesh thingies on the outside, so if the doors or windows get left pen then the house fills up with flies and its gross.....Lloyd is like my hero before bed and kills them all for me by leaping around.

Tomorrow is school picture day so I have to pick nice outfits for the girls - the boys are beyond the age where I can tell them what to wear so I will just nag them continually this evening.

Yesterday I met Val for breakfast.....Grace was surprised to see us on a Tuesday! As always she spoiled Sam and Vals little guy with suckers and it is always so relaxing and so much fun to go there for breakfast - so few places you can take two toddler to eat and be that relaxed!

After breakfast Val came back to my house for a while - she was having new carpets laid and that isn't often easy with a toddler underfoot! We went for a walk and I took some Fall pictures of the two boys up by the hay bales etc.....I was pleased with the pictures as we caught lots of smiles! It felt though that I had gone through the whole day in some weird sleep state...like I was awake but not awake.....so weird and I have no idea why I am this tired.

Last night Lloyd and I made dinner together - butter chicken. I made the poppadums (sp?) and we had naan and basmati rice too. Everyone loves this.

After dinner I sat and read with Sam - his favourite book of the moment is The Wheels on the Bus. We read a few others too though and Lloyd was sat by us doing some work for BCAL. Then we sat and watched two episodes of Greys Anatomy but I was falling asleep on the sofa through them.

Today was early out at school, so the kids got home around 2pm and Chris has brought two friends back with him - one is a computer dude who is altering Chris's computer downstairs.....I daren't ask how! He was impressed with my Mac though so I like him :)

My house smells of raisin bread toasted as all the kids went nuts and made platefuls when they got home.

I need gas in the car so we are going into town tonight and will grab coffee out. Datenight has been moved each week now because of Air Cadets. We need to get to Costco soon.

Not sure I have other news today.
