A Stamping We Will Go…

OK, so I’m a little behind on the whole blogging thing but, you know what? that’s OK!!!

May long weekend was a weekend that we spent in town hanging around, we went to the in-laws for a nice, long walk (since the weather was actually nice!) & dinner, as we were walking along I FINALLY noticed that perhaps Spring had finally sprung.

My daughter possibly a future “tree hugger!!!”

Yesterday my daughter and I had the pleasure of attending a Mother’s Day Tea at my friend’s church, it was sooo good. There were about 40 Mother’s and Daughter’s, we started with a fun game, kind of like a scavenger hunt through our purses!!! Than we were treated to a baked potato salad bar (the best salad I have had in a long time), we were than served beverages and desserts by some wonderful men that volunteered their time yesterday. Than we listened to a lesson by Cookie (the organizer), some songs, lots of prayers and than the kid’s played tag outside for a while afterwards, it was a great way to spend a gorgeous, sunny afternoon and I feel blessed to have been invited.

Cookie did a wonderful job, all the ladies of the church did, the tables were beautifully decorated using purple and yellow, there were little tiny clay flower pots with chocolates in them, the centrepiece tied into the lesson (Isaiah 64:8) and at the end when we were leaving the Mother’s received a nice plaque with a scripture in it and the kid’s received a fun treat bag.

The centrepiece.

My daughter eating ALOT of food, she must have really enjoyed it because she cleaned her whole plate off!!!

Us just having FUN!

My gorgeous daughter.

Well I’m off to enjoy another gorgeous day here with my family, I have a project that I’m working on for my son so hopefully I’ll finish that today.

My son started soccer Tuesday night, his first time. I volunteered my husband to coach his team, the first practice / game was quite overwhelming! He only got 3 hours sleep that night he was so concerned how he was going to make everything better than the first time! Saturday they had their 2nd practice / game and it went much better after going over some stuff and “coaching” my husband a little. I’m sure he is still cursing me though for volunteering him. My son seems to be enjoying himself even in Saturday’s cold, snowy weather!

I just got my son’s hair cut again, his hair grows so fast and it is so thick, well he really wanted a mohawk, I said, no, how about a “fauxhawk”, so this is what we got and he seems to be happy with it! He is sooo cute and he has the biggest, brownest eyes, is that even a word???

These little “darlin’s” (I use this term very, VERY loosely!) are my sweet, eye candy!

Spring has sprung here, not sure how long for though, right now it’s 11C PLUS & it’s suppose to be a little bit higher all week so I took the kid’s to the park after school for some much needed fresh air & fun & managed to get some cute pics.

When my son chooses to have his picture taken he is a ham indeed!

Their smiles always make my day a whole lot brighter.

My son holding onto my daughter so she doesn’t fall!!!

The weather here has been so up & down, one day we are wearing hoodies & runners, the next it’s back to boots, snowpants, hats, scarves, mitts, winter jackets, it’s just crazy & it really, really takes a tole on you, your attitude, the kid’s really are starting to get cabin fever, I’m sure of it & we are always doing something no matter the weather so yesterday it was about 3C, the sun was shining, snow was melting so in the afternoon we went for a long walk & ended up at a little park, it was nice to get some much needed fresh air.

Here is a pic of my son & daughter I captured playing together, enjoying their time together, not fighting, not whining, just enjoying eachother’s company…for once!

Definately a picture for the scrapbooks!!!

I hope today brings sunshine & warmer temp’s I know just for a bit, because the snow is coming yet AGAIN!

Well since I posted so early this AM, I kinda jumped the “gun”, it’s a dark, cloudy day today & the snow has already been falling for about an hour. The bright, blue sky in this picture is already a distant memory!!!

I am currently working on a couple of “creative” projects but, can’t finish them quite yet as I’m waiting for something to come in the mail to finish off a couple of them…so soon I will post something “creative”, that’s why you visit me…right??? not to look at pics of my adorable kid’s!!!

Have a great weekend & don’t forget Earth Hour tonight.
