Sunday...

A lovely relaxing morning - I read, caught up online and doodled in my art journal:

Chatted with the kids:

Then we got up and ready to drive over to Whyte Ave - I had to deliver the chairs to the YESS office ready for their auction.  After dropping them off, we headed on up to Whyte Ave.  We looked around in Starbucks and got Sam the book he wanted.  We went to Timmys for lunch and the strolled along to the British Import store...such a gorgeous day out - sunny and warm:

My truck needs a wash lol:

Sam trying to decide which book he wanted:

Home again, and Susie and I took Rosie out for a walk:

Home again and I sat outside with a cup of tea enjoying the fresh air.  I emptied a couple of boxes from the garage and moved some plant pots out of the garage into the back yard!  

Ice on the sidewalk:

Pictures from our lives the last few days...

Swimming followed by Kidz Quarterz with friends:

Sam and I started to read The Magic Treehouse series last week - we read a few chapters a night.  We are almost finished book 2:  

Roll up the rim started last week, and I won on my second cup:

Sam and his friend R won a LOT of tickets at KQ last week!  

Susie and I are back making our smoothies again!

Visit to the library yesterday.  I wasn't feeling good and was glad we only had a couple of errands to run before going home. 

Sam singing me a song he had made up:

The current wall art board at the library:

Someones witty response:

Rosie getting vacuumed:

Lunch with friends at KQ:

Sam at the library:

The weather has been gorgeous the last few days:

The melting and freezing means that it is very icy in many places:

Sam made himself a cage and then got stuck in it haha:

Rosie Posie:

Out getting birthday party supplies for Abbys party and we

 got a few St Patricks Day things too:

All finished

Heading over to the Youth Emergency Shelter today to drop off the finished chairs.  

These are the two mini Adirondack chairs I painted for YESS to auction off at their upcoming charity night!  Two very different styles so I hope they attract a lot of people.  

Snapshots of life this week....

Tuesday...

On Tuesday we had homeschool gymnastics in the morning, and then we had some errands to run - after we were done, we went and picked up some friends -R and A - and headed to Millennium Place for a swim!  

In the evening Susannah and I went to the movies - Tuesday is cheap night, but despite it being the first week of Safe Haven, the theatre wasn't full. 

So yes, we went to see Safe Haven - a movie supposedly based on Nicholas Sparks book.  I have just finished the book and was VERY disappointed in the movie.  Susannah loved it but she hadn't read the book.  I think it would be disappointing for anyone who has read it.  They changed practically everything except the 'theme' of the story!  Blegh!!

Chairs for YESS!!

This is one of the chairs I am painting for YESS (Youth Empowerment and support services) - they will be auctioned off at their charity night in March :)  

This one is all pale colours - the other is very different :)  

Edmonton Tourism

Yesterday Edmonton Tourism wrote and asked if they could add this picture of mine to their profile page.  Well of course I said yes :)  It will be promoted today as their picture of the day :)  

So much good news regarding my photography this week.

I also received an email to say one of my pictures is being included in a local exhibition :)
