Pictures in the sun

This afternoon I decided the kids should play outside since it was a beautiful warm sunny (buggy) day, so I thought it would also be a great time to take pictures of them while they were playing.  I just HAD to share these pictures with you all, especially since there are some grandparents who come on here from afar wanting to see their grandkids.Here is 

my little weed whacker :p!  She thinks they are the most prettiest flowers ever, and how convenient that they just happen to grow EVERYWHERE.  "Look mommy, more mommy !!"

This picture I took of my middle child looking through a Little Tykes car window, turned out pretty neat eh??  He was playing in the water in the back of the little car, seeing what things would float and what didn't.  

I just couldn't resist taking a close up of him through the same window, what a handsome fella :)!  The best part is he had a pretty good day today, which is really nice to have on a sunny day.

Lol, my dd was making a funny face at me since she knew what I was upto...I just wanted to get a picture of her holding out her flowers.  I got that too, but I also got this silly face too which she thought was funny later when I showed her.  

Since she was the most co-operative out of the 3, I stuck with her for this photo op and her big brother wanted nothing to do with it.  

Darn it all, she found more dandylions...going to have to show her how to pick them properly :p!  Determined little girl she is :)!  The next sequence of pictures I took will show you just how determined she is...

See I told ya :p!

My son wanted to sit on my lap and swing with me, so I took a picture of him by leani

ng way back and having him hold on tight onto the swings ropes.  I LOVE this picture of him :)! 

Here is my new pro swinger, once she is on it she just wants to keep on swinging...mind you she also wants you to keep on pushing her.  "High as a sky mommy, High as a sky!" is what she says to me when she wants another push :)! 

Here is the last picture I took for the afternoon, since I had to go in and make some supper :)!

Project #2

Here is the project that Deborah gave us to take home to work on :)!  I had some new paper here at home that I wanted to use with this project, so I used that instead of the patterned paper Deborah gave us.  So this first picture is of the front of my little project, just had to use the glittery butterfly patterned paper that I picked up from Michael's with a coupon the other week.  

Here is the inside of the card, I decided to use one of the photostamp images that I stamped out when I borrowed some photostamps from Kim for the Stampsmith DT call.  LOVE how this project turned out :)! Thanks so much Deborah again, for such a fun project and also a fun night :)!

Last nights crafty night

We were only able to get to one project last night at our crafty night, and that was the project Kim did with us!  What a beautiful project, I was actually quite surprised at how easy it was to do and have been wanting to do one since Kim gave me one of these cards a year ago.  So I was THRILLED to finally make one, and to see that it was actually quite easy :D!  I am still not quite finished with this card yet, as I want to do something on the front of it but I wanted to show you what we created.  Here is the back view of the card that we made:  

We weren't able to get our usual 2 projects done, but we were lucky in that Deborah had made up kits for us to make our projects at home.  Thinking I will work on mine today :), and may have to call up Deborah to ask questions I am sure :p! 

We missed all of you who were unable to be there and hope to see you out at our next get together in June :)!  Thank you gals for a much needed crafty night out...can't wait for the next :p!

Swap card for tonight's crafty night

Right now I am at the monthly "Crafty Night" at Deborah's place, sadly not all of us could go so we shall miss you all that couldn't come that are usually able to come.  Here is the card that I created for the swap/challenge we have everytime we get together, this swap/challenge was to create a card using a  stamped image of a woman.  I was able to borrow some photo stamps from Kim, for this challenge and also to apply for the Stampsmith DT :) *thanks Kim*!  

I LOVE how this card turned out, especially since I didn't really know what I was going to do with this stamped image or how I wanted it to look...I kind of went with the flow.  I just love the BOBUNNY paper, can't get enough of the stuff...gotta go get more soon though. 

Here is the inside of the card, wanted to do something a bit different than my usual style...made the card look antiqued :)!  Thanks for stopping by, and I will have more posted for you all tomorrow from our Crafty night endeavors ;P!

Victoria Day

On Thursday our van decided to pop it's "I need an oil change" light on,  so I made an appointment on Saturday morning to get one done this morning at 9 a.m.  2 of my 3 children will be going to my mother's house to have a playdate which they haven't had one of in awhile, usually my mother comes with us and helps out with the kids.  This time I don't think the kids would have fun where I am going, plus it is a rainy day and that just doesn't go well with what I have to do.  While I am waiting for my oil change, I am luckily in the Dartmouth Crossings (a business park) that has things like Michael's and Walmart in it...so I think I can keep myself busy :p!  

My oldest son, my dh both went out to the new family church camp that they are helping my father in law and about 40 or more to build.  It is called Bayside Camp, my son went to the camp last summer and is hoping to go this summer...it is going to be an amazing camp that is for sure but it still isn't done yet and there is A LOT of work to do.  My husband and I went to the old Bayside camp, which they sold a year ago to build a new camp since it wasn't big enough to hold the number of children who were wanting to goto this amazing camp.  

I also have start prepping my middle son to get ready for his "orientation day" at school tomorrow, and I am nervous about this but luckily our Early Interventionist will be there to help out. Since I will have my dd and my oldest with me when he is there at his primary orientation, and I am praying that it will be a nice hot sunny day tomorrow...no rain because I want the 2 I have with me to play on the playground equipment.  

Well, I gotta get going to my oil change but that is what I will be doing this morning!!  Will be crafty this afternoon I think :)!
