Money Tree

Today if I had a money tree I would build secret tunnels to all three sisters houses. I would also make detours to special friends who make things ok on days like today....if I had a money tree and a really big spoon that's what I would do today.

I think we are in the middle of a war

About 5 Army helicopters have been flying over us for the last hour. I know that I tend to miss things so I am just asking....have we gone to war?

If we are not maybe it was secret army business and I was not supposed to take photo's?

Spring Fling or Practical Spacktical!

I would love it if somebody, some day could call me a practical gardener. I would love them to walk into my garden and see all the home grown produce that I have planted to feed my family and neighbours...however my garden has other ideas. My iceburg lettuce struggled for a few days and then withered and died...my tomatoes, well lets just say they did not go well. All my spinach was eaten by our friendly garden bugs and my blueberry is very, very blue! However, my garden likes to do pretty. Everytime I go out to put clothes on the line I turn to admire my spring jasmin. Oh, I wish you could smell it.

So, I have decided and my garden has reminded me that I am so much more a pretty than practical person...it may not have any function and it cannot contribute to world hunger....but it sure does make me smile.

(todays post is bought to you by a spacky computer that is not doing what I want it to, hence the photo's above are above and not spattered throughout!)

The Land of the Long White Cloud

This is the view from the living room window of the house where we are staying. It's beautiful. And it's about all that
I've seen since I've got here seeing as I've come down with a bug. Langy G has been having a lovely time though!

Quote of Today

I accidently just sat on my imaginary chair!!!!!!

I Spy with My Little Eye

 

A brown bear hiding in the rose bush...

And a little boy foraging for his dinner.

Langy G is just practicing his hide and seek skills for when the cousins are around!

reduce reuse recycle

I don't like using clingwrap or plastic sandwich cliplock bags for lunches and recesses. I needed a solution to this problem and I finally got some time to make the solution.
Here are my reusable snack and sandwich bags. I am going to make a whole stack more in boy print as well as flowers! Connor didn't really fancy the flowers for some reason! The pink is water proof PUL. I love these!

Babysitting

We love our babysitter. Connor and Kenzi have so much fun when she can make it.
Our babysitter also likes to remodel things at our house when things get a little boring.
Here is her latest and might I say, her greatest remodel.
Note to self: When our amazing babysitter is in the house do not put my overlocker anywhere near the fire....especially on top of the fire!

Of dolls and Girls

Kenzi was invited to a birthday party that was a girls and dolls tea party. It was for a daughter of a friend of mine. I said that I could make some pretty things for the girls and dolls. Here is what I did.These are the dolls hair slides.
