#41 On The Wall

Spent the day at the Biggs's hanging out and watching some B5 and after much thought, Erin recommended that I take a pic of a wall at the graffiti park across the street. I really love that there is a space for this downtown where street artists are encouraged and celebrated. Awesome work!

#37 Stripes

Stripes on the Canadian flag. So proud to be a part of this country!

#34 Water

Took the kids to Winterlude this week and we had a BLAST! We toured all the ice sculptures, ate maple candy on a stick, saw some men doing actual ice carvings, ate some beavertails, skated on the canal (huge thank you to Nicole for lending me her skates!!!), had dinner downtown and then bummed around Chapters for a while. Rowan was asleep before the bus even pulled away from the stop ;-)

#19 Homemade

My current knitting projects. all on the go! Woot!!!!

Sodastream!

My Christmas pressy!!! It is so shiny and clean! And tastes delicious! Last year I got a Keurig, this year a Sodastream. I wonder what my beverage needs will be next Christmas!

Santa Clause Is Coming To Town

All ready for the big guys arrival, the kids got out everything before they left for their dads. Bad mom I am, I forgot to get carrots for the reindeer so we put out oats instead. And now I am missing my babies like crazy. Being without them on Christmas eve sucks :-(

Rainbow Sun

This picture doesn't do the sky justice. There was a big, beautiful rainbow right on the sun. So pretty! Never seen it before!

Alight

The tree is practically glowing. I am just sitting in the room, basking in Christmas. Love.

Vamplets

The parcel came in the mail finally! They are sooooo cute! I regret nothing! Merry Christmas Rowan!

Sparklies

I absolutely love the pretty decorations up in the malls which, up until now, I have been pretending don't exist. Since when is it okay to start putting up Christmas decorations before Halloween is even finished?

Crystalize

Pretty snow! Expect lots of these pics coming ;-)

First Snow

Like Lorelai, I love the first snow of the year. There is just something so magical and uplifting about it! This is one of about fifty pics I took of the fluffy stuff coming down!

Dead Tree.... IN SPACE!

I have taken what would normally be a depressing picture of a dead tree and made it a depressing picture of a dead tree... IN SPACE!

As a side note, computer still not fixed and doing two weeks of posts right now! YAY!

Fly Away Home

How did I not get a pic of our Pathfinders group?! Spent an awesome day at friends, first with Nicole and then with Nathaniel and our gaming troupe. Let me just say that evening gaming sessions work SO much better for me cause this sessions WAS THE BOMB! We didn't end up fighting anything but it didn't matter cause the roleplaying was so magnificently grand! Best gaming session E-V-E-R!!!! Thank you Nathaniel!!!!!!!!!!

Graphical

Getting my son into graphic novels while Rowan has her very first tutoring session. I have succeeded as a parent! Rowan was a little shy at first but warmed up quickly, writing in her journal tonight that she had fun with Julia and she loves her! Daaawwww!

Cotton Candy Clouds

Sometimes just the colours of the clouds amaze me.

Creative Juices

Although I wouldn't count today as a complete success (turns out that Scouts is on Wednesday NOT Thursday and that the school I was told it was held in, is actually not where Scouts are held, and it will be an hour to, and an hour walk back from it) I did, however, get a hold of the government with regards to my paperwork, called Tekksavey to figure out my billing, and I met with a wonderful young woman who is attending Sir Will HS French Immersion program who is willing to be hired on as a tutor for Rowan. To top off my day, I spent two hours at my Starbucks buckling down and getting some writing done. Turns out, pumpkin spiced lattes are the energy my writing needs. I find that when I write at home, I am too easily distracted and wander away from my work. Currently now working on chapter three!

Nature Hike in Orleans Wood

It is amazing that Orleans has its very own nature woods just five minutes walk from the house. We braved the mosquitoes and heat on our only non-scheduled day this week!

Nostalgic Car Incident

This just is what it is and what it is, is memories. We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?

Spring Showers

Spring showers bring April flowers? First flowers I have seen this year in bloom!
