Friday fill-ins....

And...here we go!

1. Speed kills.
2. All this being over and having my life back is what I've been looking forward to!
3. One of the things I like most about traveling is seeing new places, experiencing new places, meeting new people, making memories, a chance to relax, cross places off of my bucket list, show the children places...
4. thinking of making memories makes me think of all the traditions I have introduced the children to over the years.  I know some of them are now VERY important to them and that makes me happy :)
5. A road trip that we are all looking forward to is in the not too distant future :) 
6. A bagel is what I had for dinner last night.I have no appetite right now because of the meds I'm on.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to no idea, tomorrow my plans include taking Susannah and her friend to see Titanic in 3d and Sunday, I want to do something but no idea what!  It is supposed to rain all weekend and not be too great so I'm not sure what we will do this weekend - maybe go swimming....I am supposed to be at a language and literacy conference on Saturday...but I'm not sure if I will go or not as the kids have all got other plans now and it's not really a priority.  

Pictures I've found that I like or have made me laugh or think.....

Our Thursday....

I picked up some stones outside of Kidz Quarterz the other day, and painted them with messages.

Then today the children helped me to place them in different places throughout Sherwood Park - just as we were doing errands...one here, one there...on sidewalks....where people might find them and pick them up.  Hopefully they will be found by people who need some extra love - an extra smile that day!  The children really loved doing this - and so we picked up more stones to bring home and decorated so we can leave them in more places - I think we will continue to do this throughout the Summer :)  

I started my scrabble tile pendants today.  I am doing some with a clear glaze and some with a crackled glaze :)  

Today was a really grey and dreary day - it looked as though it might rain but it didn't.  We stayed home all morning and then headed into town to run some errands all afternoon.  

Abigail spent the morning turning an Altoid tin into a bedroom for a a felt pet she made herself - she made a pillow and bedding for it too and decorated the wall as well - from a design/ patter she found on pinterest!!  She did really well using a pattern and sewing and measurements as well as changing the design to suit her own needs :)
