may long

Happy May long weekend!

This weekend, we...



- took our sketchbooks outside and drew pictures. - picked up KFC and had a picnic in the park. Unfortunately, it was so windy that our food kept blowing away! But fortunately, a little gopher kept coming to visit us and the boys thought it was so much fun! And we played too!



- planted a garden in our backyard. This is the first time I've ever planted vegetables. We planted peas, radishes, carrots and lettuce. We also planted some sunflowers! Matthew was a big help and he is looking forward to seeing some plants soon.- Rick and I went out for Chinese food. I've been wanting Chinese food for a long time, but Rick often gets it at his lunch meetings for work, so he never feels like having it. So yummy! And thanks Grandma, for watching the boys.




- took Caleb to the doctor. He hasn't been feeling well and then he had a bunch of nosebleeds (he had never had a nosebleed). The doctor says it's just a cold and maybe some allergies. But at least I don't have to worry. By the way, Caleb does not like the sight of blood. At all. Poor guy.




- finished my cards for the card of every other month club. My inspiration for my cards was this quilt. I'll share my cards a bit later. Now I need to pack them up and get to the post office.




- bought my bedding plants and put them in. I have a flower bed in the front and some pots in the backyard. I also made a little herb garden in a container on the deck.

This one loves being outside:


Caleb and Daddy at the park:Caleb talked me into making strawberry daiquiris while we drew outside! I hope you all had a nice weekend too! What did you do?

just because the sun was shining and the sky was blue

Just because the sun was shining and the sky was blue, we decided to go for a walk.

We soon discovered that just because the sun is shining and the sky is blue, it doesn't mean it's nice outside.

And that would explain the winter jackets and tuques :)


But the shining sun made playing with our shadows very fun. Here I am!

Happy sun shiny day! (but don't forget your mittens)
