6 Flags and 2 Boys....





Sounds like a great title for a page!

They had a blast, I said yes to eveything they asked, gosh I wish that would happen to me...LOL. A cloudy start to the day but so worth it, the clouds kept the crowds away so we could play.

I'll have to play with these photos a bit, I'm sure they will get my mojo going again they are so fun!

A fresh summer hair cut....











Seems to be catchy in my house right now, all the new haircuts. Hubby needs to have his curly locks cut off now too. Olivia and I went out last night and cut all her hair off. I have been toying with it for months, I'm ready then I change my mind.
At the Canada Day parade last week one of the floats held 9 girls who were cutting their hair for "Hair for Angels" it's an organization who provides wigs to children who's parents can't afford an expensive wig for their sick child. So the group of girls needed one more pony to have their magic number (your need 10 pony's to make a wig) Well that did it for me! We set our appointment, received a really cute cut and helped someone out.

It will grow again, and I will enjoy the process of growing it back. The next time we cut it off for a donation she will be old enough to understand what she is really doing.

Those blue eyes.....


Gosh how they looked so blue at dusk tonight. She wanted to play on the slip and slide tonight and I tried to distract her with a bike ride but it didn't work. She sat on the big rock and pouted, then she said she was going to sit there until daddy came home to turn the hose on for her. That broke my heart because I don't know when daddy is coming home.


He went into the hospital last Tuesday with a serious internal infection and has been on intervenes antibiotics ever since. Slow but sure he is coming along. We will see what the first of the week brings.


So I turned on the hose for her. We have hot and cold water in the garage so she enjoyed the luke-warm water on her slide tonight....not too long though, need that hot water for the washer.

And the tree comes down.....


So sad to see this beautiful tree come down. It was in the front of mum and dad's house and it lost a limb, they came to fix it up and before you knew it they cut the thing down....Josh cried, twice!


The kids really enjoyed playing on it though....here is a pic of all of them on it, it's rare to get such a picture of all five of them together looking at the camera and one or two not crying!

New paper lines!

So many new ones! And so pretty! This is one I made with BoBunny Petal Pushers, I went back and bought a few more sheets of it.

Busy weekend ahead, lots of socializing, eating and drinking.....it's a good life. Friends on Saturday and family on Sunday for Father's Day. Looking forward to seeing the reaction of everyone with Josh's new hair cut..hehe....I'll post pictures later.

This weekends haul.....


Had a really fun crop at Life Preservers this weekend and I managed to complete a few layouts and the others I want to do are written down so I can do them another time. I'm a slow scrapper.

Nice weekend, hubby was at his high school reunion for most of the weekend and it was me and the three kids! Josh had a friend over for most of Saturday, sometimes it's easier to have more than less....kids I mean.

Was reading Tim Holtz blog and am so jealous I could not attend this class today at Buffalo Stamps, so close but just couldn't do it.....next time.

My scrap room is a complete mess again, and I'm pretty sure I sold my soul to the devil that I would not let that happen again......I'm so brutal. I need more shelving, my inks and mists are growing like metal clothes hangers. I'm just not sure where to put it I don't have much room or wall space left....maybe I need to move a wall....

Sorry about the bad weather.....


I can explain all the yucky weather we have been having for the last week.....it's simple....we opened our pool. Before we opened it the weather was sooo nice and warm, really warm, swimming warm....and now it's cold, we needed a jacket today - yuck.


Here's hoping we will dry out a bit and be able to enjoy more outdoor activities. This is Josh and dad playing in the pool early last week.
