Day 151

Flowers picked by middle child.

For me.

I knew he loved me.

Just because he tells me otherwise doesn't mean he really means it.

Day 150

Our boat.

My husband.

My kids.

My daddy.

On the lake.

We went out for a toot with my 83 year old Grandma..

Then we went tubing.

My Grandma watched....and giggled from the boat.

A perfect day.

Day 149

Day 148

We have a large open field behind our house.

But if you walk to the back of the field, there is a forest.

And in the magical forest are many, many trees....birds....bugs...and even coyotes.

So I don't go in there.

Instead I take pictures of light coloured trees that stand out to me.

I am sure if they could talk, they would say "Take a picture of me, please!"
So I did.

And then I walked home.

The End.

(oooo that was bad....my apologies for the cheesiness)

Day 147

Dirt.

It is fun for kids to play in.

It is fun for dogs to roll in.

It is fun to shovel.

It is fun to garden.

Dirt.

It is a wonderful thing.

Day 146

Add sunscreen to the list of my addictions.

Day 145

Today was 32 degrees celsius.

That translates as "frickin hot".

So hot that my children went into a very chilly Lake Simcoe.

While Mommy watched from the sand.

Day 133

Today was my 35th birthday.

And I was very sad about it.

Until my Mommy made chicken parmesan with mashed potatoes, carrots, fresh bread....

and cupcakes.

Then I was happy.

Day 132

It is a sad day for my family.

Uncle passed away last night after a short battle with cancer.

I am sure Heaven will be a funnier place with him there.

Day 131

The boys and I had a rough night.
Fighting.
Cursing.
Not listening.
I just couldn't take it anymore.
So they were sent to bed at 6pm.
And while in their room, they wrote me some letters, folded the papers up into a paper airplane and threw them downstairs.
This is what they said.

I am going to keep them.
And when they have their own children, I may just bring them out, and let them know I understand how tough parenting is.

And then I will go home to my quiet house.
