Scenes from our day.........

Tess :)

I met Tess today :)

Finally :)

This is Tess :)

Yay!!!

Although by now she doesn't look like this because right now she's having her hair cut :)

So today I finally got to meet Tess (aka Bradsmom from Lp/ Scrappershaven and also the keeper of My Daily Ramblings blog link to the right although she has actually changed the name because she didn't write in it daily and I used to nag her about it lol)

Isn't she just so pretty? We took a walk around our place and I had fun annoying the hell out of her by taking hundreds of photographs but I got some lovely ones! I haven't had a chance to look at them all yet but so far there are some gorgeous ones and you know I didn't even edit these - just switched them to blck and white and added a border or whatever!!!! See!!!! Gorgeous!!!

I had a great time today Tess - it was lovely to meet you!!! I hope to meet up with you again soon!!! Lets scrapbook you spoiled brat ;) lol!

PS you do look sickeningly young for your age!!!! I LOVE that Abigail thought you looked 50 :) Granny Tess :) I love it :)

No snow :)

Last night I checked the forecast and it said 80% chance of 10cm of snow last night and today!!!!!! OMG!!!! NO WAY!!!!!

Tess is coming out today and I thought for sure she'd have to cancel....I thought we were fated to never meet as we have tried to meet up for months for various things!

But we woke to no snow :) and no fog :)

So yay! With luck all is well and Tess can still come and visit for a while :)

My truck is in today for some work - the pedal thingy that moves up and down is being fixed. Lloyd is tall and I am NOT tall....and the thing that moves the gas and brake pedals up and up and down for us won't move them up for me any more so that is being fixed today...and the air bag light is on so they are checking that!

The truck is all paid off now and is officially ALL MINE WOOHOO......so isn't it typical that things start happening now hahahahaha! but by tonight all should be well :) and Lloyd is buying the extended warranty thingy too :) JUST IN CASE ;) and that covers road side assistance too.

We finally decided to check out the hardwood floors under the disgusting grotty carpets in our bedrooms...and they are lovely polished hardwood floors....so this weekend -as well as being outside enjoying the GORGEOUS +20c temperatures...we will be inside ripping out carpets!!!!! Why on earth would people put disgusting carpet over lovely hardwood???? So next week I will go and look for a nice rug for the bedroom....but the FUGLY carpet will be gone with its nasty stains that won't come out EEEEEEWWWWWWWW :(

Homeschool park days in Sherwood Park may be starting next week which is good - they have them every summer here - all year long in Edmonton but only in Summer in Sherwood park as there is nowhere indoors to have them at the park. Abigail will enjoy that! I will have to check with Jennifer if she is going or whether the library sessions are continuing as Abigail will want N to be there I am sure....

I should go and shower and get dressed.....

Sharon - good luck at your check up today m'deary :)

The cat caught the mouse ;)

So Val and I finally caught up with each other today :) We met up for lunch at Esso which made a nice change but also seemed a little odd - lunch instead of breakfast and Wednesday instead of Thursday - and it was BUSY in there!!! It was fun though! I wasn't sure what to order but went with a toasted chicken sandwich. It was ok I guess.

Vals little guy ate my fries :)

It was funny because Val emailed me about meeting for lunch at 12pm and I had JUST put whitestrips on my teeth at 11:45!!! They have to stay on for 30 minutes lol so I had to say 12:30!!! And the stupid things are nasty slimey things that move around all the time....and then I was thinking well I don't really want to drink coffee as soon as I've whitened my teeth!!! lol! It seemed pointless but I wanted to see Val so we headed out anyway and I just didn't have coffee :)

Sam was happy to see Grace....as always!!

Grace has a Son! You know I have no idea how old Grace is but for some reason I just figured she was too young to have children. Now really I supposed of course she isn't! Her parents are older as she talks about them which must mean she is old enough to have children but I have just never thought of her having children....she's GRACE!!!! She's Sams Grace! But today she was talking about her Son! He used to lick his mouth and make it sore the way Abigail does!

Ok well the children are home from school and I have to go into town with Chris to get his costume!

It was good to see you Val - good to catch up with things although I think almost every conversation went unfinished really :) Isn't that always the way....

Oh and it turns out Val was married to my ex for 17 years...and I never even knew ;)

Good morning!

So this is my morning look! Not dressed! Lol! I should be at breakfast with Val...we were supposed to be at McDonalds on Wye this morning with about a million local homeschoolers....but it's very foggy out so here I sit not dressed instead. I have cleaned out several kitchen cupboards though...I smell of bleach. I figured I'd rather get bleach on my nighty than my clothes but amazingly I haven't!

The snow from the weekend is melting so fast that it is causing thick fog every morning. By the weekend they forecast +18c temperatures WOOHOO!!!!

This afternoon I have to take Chris into town to find an 16th century Europen farmers wifes costume for him!!!!!!! ????????? at the thrift store!!!!! So that should be easy (NOT) lol! He is playing Gipetto's wife in the pantomime version of Pinocchio at school. When I picked him up on Monday after school he was in hysterics because he had had to spend the afternoon in a bra!!! :) Funny :) I LOVE County Clothes Line so I get to go there this afternoon WOOHOO :)

Oh and the tall mushrooms have grown again - TALLER so I will hopefully video them dying later :) very cool :)

Now I really should get showered and dressed :)

Tomorrow I get to meet the lovely Tess :) Tess is coming over to spend the day (or afternoon or a while anyway lol - I'm not sure lol) :) anyway Yay - I think she's going to let me take some pictures of her and she's bringing her new camera so hopefully we can go out for a walk and take some pictures too! I can introduce her to Charlie too :)

We killed them!!!

Oh my Gawd...all the tall toadstools like the one in the picture died within minutes of us opening our greenhousey thing!!!! they ahve literally all shriveled up and died! Why??? Is that lack of humidity????? Oxygen???? What???? Thats amazing! I wish we had watched them all shrivel up - that would have been so cool to watch or video - they were alive and I was photographing them and then a few minutes later they were shrivelled up and like leaf skeletons!

OMG I hope they aren't deadly poisonous or something lol!

Hahahahaha that was kind of amazing :) Oooh I hope some more grow tomorrow and I can video them dying and shrivelling up :)

Science in action :)

Toadstools...

We have toadstools growing in one of the pots with a tomato plant!!!!! Cute but weird......

Wouldn't be magic mushrooms by any chance would they???????? lol!

Pictures are crappy lol and I can't be bothered to try again...I'm tired and I really wanted to switch the computer off an hour ago!!!!!

Goodnight everyone!!!!

Petal power

Pollen close-ups... :)

playing around with macro....

Abigails Daisy............

Sam starts Preschool!!

So my youngest little guy has started preschool.......here he is ready to go with his backpack holding his indoor shoes and his lunchbag!

In the top picture I think he was pointing to his 'best friend' just to make sure he was still there hahahahahaha! ;)

Coffee at Greenlands

While Sam was at preschool Abigail and I drove down to Greenland Garden Centre. We had coffee by the fishpond. I bought some flower seeds (bee friendly seeds) and Abigail chose a flower to take home and look after - A gerber daisy. We'll keep it inside for a few more weeks until it can go outside - it is the most gorgeous colour - I'll photograph it later!

Here is Abigail enjoying her carrot cake and milk!!

After the garden centre we went back the preschool and hung out in the playground outside for a while...Abigail had fun on the big climbing frame and it was so nice to be outside in the sunshine enjoying the park again :) the snow is melting away so fast again :)
