Sexy, huh? We found out last Sunday that this massive re-bricking project of the front (and next, the back) of our house could get underway this week. Tuesday, to be exact. And now the front of the house will look a bit like this for the next four weeks or so. Mind you, the dumpster should be … [Read more...]
Together, Much?
School starts in six days. SIX. (Did I say six? It's six days.) My kids have spent about 90% of their time together over these past several weeks... and I mean, TOGETHER. Much of the time, they've played quite well together, and have been glad to have one another for company. They're next … [Read more...]
So I Took a Seat.
I've been looking for some butt-love for quite a while now... *snort* You might remember this project we worked on two winters ago (and when I say "we" I mean "Martin"). As much as I'd really love to have pockets deep enough to just run out and buy ALL THE THINGS whenever I want them, I had an … [Read more...]
…While You Work…
I love watching little kids learn a new trick. Winking. Snapping. They're often so very proud of a new skill mastered, and chances are, it'll never be un-learned. Ava Scarlett has been DESPERATE to learn how to whistle for some time now. And it's both hilarious and heart-breaking to watch her try … [Read more...]
Life These Days
My kids are done with camp for the rest of the summer, and now we're just... hanging out. I took them to a movie yesterday... we had pizza out on the town the day before that. It's going to be much of the same for the next bunch of weeks before school starts, which isn't all bad. I have things I … [Read more...]
Raising Minions
While at the cottage last week, out of the blue, Oliver announced, "I'm going to make you breakfast in bed tomorrow morning." I was all, "Ummm...." "Don't worry, I know what to do. How many eggs would you like, do you think?" "Ummm... darling? Do you... are... how are you...?!" And then I … [Read more...]
On Girlfriends and Conversations.
Those who know me well know I probably prize excellent and weighty conversations above just above everything else. And at this stage of life with young kids in it, when they require so much of your attention, and your energy, it is especially sweet when one can kick back and chat, uninterrupted, … [Read more...]
This Is How We Roll
Most days the little turkeys get driven to camp, but there are some days when me and my little scooter ninjas just have to ride... we make quite the spectacular little posse, you know - ready to terrorize y'alls neighbourhood. And every time I look out in front of me, watching the little … [Read more...]
Natural Ability
Me: Ava Scarlett? Come finish your breakfast please... She: Whaaahmmmm? Me: What are you doing, Madame? She: Just playing my fork. *strums* Me: Um... She: *rocking out* I blame my mother for showing her this air-guitar stance. Totally. (SEE what you've done, … [Read more...]
My Segway Adventure
Me, on a stationary-Segway for a photo-op, taken by Jason Graham One of the activities I was slated to try during our Blue Mountain retreat was a Segway tour. By now, everyone knows I ride one of these bad boys around town when I'm at home, so the idea of riding a Segway didn't seem so far off the … [Read more...]
