Can you see the pumpkin that isn't quite like the others?

Oct 25

Wearing her Fallen Warriors sweatshirt in memory of the four boys who died from her school.

Oct 26

After at least a year, we found some sensitive bubble bath Youngest could tolerate.

She had three bubble baths in one week!

Oct 27

I love Formica samples.  Are you wondering which sample is the one used in the basement?

Top grey for craft area and bottom white spider web for laundry room. 

The middle grey one is a replica of our original 50's kitchen countertop upstairs.

Oct 28

I'm starting to save boxes again.  It's almost Christmas after all and I might need them for gifts.

The big football game.

The Warriors won!

A halloween piano recital.

She played a Witches Waltz.

as a Cirque de Soleil bird.

Oh my... the apple doesn't fall far from the tree I'm afraid.

Middlest worked on it almost every night for two weeks straight.  

A costume extraordinaire.

My favourite nerdy Diva.

2011: Week 41

Aug 28

On our way back from the city. We had picked up Eldest from the airport and shopped for the reno.

 Aug 29

I have been spending hours and hours on the computer talking with AppleCare.  

They are even frustrated with my computer.

Aug 30

Getting ready for school.  All the supplies were bought in the afternoon and bags were filled.

A supper at Ichiban Tokyo was enjoyed to mark the last day of summer vacation.

Aug 31

The first day of school was a success.  1st shot is in the morning on their way, 

and 2nd is the smiles I saw at the end of the day.  It's going to be a good year.

Sept 1

Trying to pack for our long weekend Family get together.

Youngest loves her blue blankie, and last minute, I realized it was in need of a washing.

Of course, I forgot it in the dryer.

Sept 2

So as not to miss our bi-weekly Project Baby photo shoot.  

I quickly ran over an hour before leaving for my parent's 45th Anniversary Family weekend.

Sept 3

The first family activity Saturday morning was visiting the city zoo, which was followed by a picnic and afternoon at a nearby indoor waterpark.

2011: Week 40

Aug 21 

Youngest wanted to make popsicles.  We decided on a blueberry smoothie recipe. They were deelish.

Aug 22

Our first summer list.  We didn't accomplish everything, but we had fun trying.

Aug 23 

Lighting has been completed for awhile. Love our little spotlights.

Aug 24 

Basement Renos continue:  Tony has been mudding this week.

Aug 25

Ex-Static on the Trampoline... a fun night with new friends.

Aug 26

Youngest was home alone with me all week.  She spent time working on this craft.

Aug 27

What is better than jumping on a trampoline with water balloons and a friend?

2011: Week 8

Feb 19

Youngest has become an excellent egg cracker!  This is the beginning of an crepe recipe.

Feb 20

Every once in awhile the Christmas puzzle comes out and the girls add a few more pieces.

Feb 21

Now that I am working, the camera is not getting out as much.  Middlest took this picture of some magnets she made herself.

Feb 22

The next day she continued trying to get that perfect shot.

Feb 23

She moved on to taking other photos.  This one if of one of my favourite necklaces being swung.

Feb 24

This is the shot from the plane, on my way to warmer weather in San Diego for my Blue Lily photography workshop.

Feb 25

This is a photo of one of my roomies.  Nikki was also my saviour when she welcomed me into her home on my very round about way home.  This picture was taken in Raw which creates a much less saturated picture.  

2011: Week 7

Feb 12

It must be orange season.  Because they are tasting "oh so sweet" these days.

Feb 13

Art club continues.  The girls loved painting these daffodils. 

Feb 14

Youngest wanted something special to wear for Valentine's Day.  A little journey to Claire's and this headband fit the bill perfectly.

Feb 15

These cookie turned out really well.  I blogged about them here!

Feb 16
A special bracelet Youngest received for Christmas is a favourite of hers.

Feb 17

After much practice Youngest was able to blow a really big bubble.  The persistence was blogged about here.

Feb 18

I love February simply because of the ruby red grapefruit that arrives at our grocery stores.  It is one of my favourites!

2011: Week 6

Feb 5

An evening of lullabies.  Youngest loves to sing.  She is part of a girls choir and loves everything about it except having to wear tights.  This mama understands my sweet ; )

Feb 6

I wanted to see how the light in the bedroom would work for photos.  It was cooler than I thought, but I am thrilled with the pictures we got of these two.  It's hard to take serious pictures when flopping on the bed is waaay more fun.

Feb 7

I played with some still life's also in the bedroom.  Isn't this a fun jewelery stand?  And a picture of one of my favourite necklaces, even with the teeth marks around the edge from Youngest.

 Feb 8

We tried a few Valentine Crafts to decorate with.  The hearts are made from five separate paper hearts.  We only made two and left it at that.

Feb 9

For some reason I decided to start baking these around 10:30 p.m..  They were worth it though.

Feb 10

Eldest tried her hand at a Valentine still life photo.  With the antiqued photo edit I think it turned out perfectly.

Feb 11

With Dad away for a few nights, we enjoyed a little outing to Costco where we ate supper and did a little browsing.
