I have gotten in to sewing again. Decided to make some bibs and a receiving blanket for a friend who is expecting. A deadline always helps in completing projects. Now I just have to think that way about cleaning the house and a few other things.

Laura's shower!!!

Wisteria Mysteria

The Wisteria finally blooms!!

My parents have had this wisteria for I don't know how many years and it finally bloomed - only one bunch of flowers but at least it shows promise.

Later I did some research on the wisteria and found out that they can be a temperamental plant. Taking up to 5-7 years even after a transplant to produce blooms. We'll have to see if we can make it bloom more next year with blooming and some blooming fertilizer.

Day at the park

We went for a lazy Saturday walk. Not much else to say.

The beginning of Soccer Mom

Here we go, signed Ray up for soccer and sure enough the only night of the week they play is the same night Jeff has night school. So mom feeds all 4 kids, bundles them up, loads them up, AND gets them to Ray's soccer game on time!!! I hope you're all thoroughly impressed.





The warm up...






The huddle.
"Hey, what's happening over there?"
Notice our 2 boys are not focused in on the huddle.




At least Aria has her buddy Eric was there to go exploring with. We also have 2 very cute babies with us.
The excitement of the night was taking Aria to the bathroom in the trees only to have her announce that she needed to go poo. Not here!! No, luckily we know someone backing on to the park...and they were home, lest you should wonder about some of the droppings you find in the park.












Ray in action!!!

Losing Lovely Locks - A Hair Raising Experience

I love my Raymond's lovely locks!! I must have been meant for the 60's because I love it and Jeff keeps on referring to it as"Hippy Hair". Well, Jeff has taken Ray for his first REAL hair cut. He appearantly chose it himself and he is loving it!! He's so grown up. I'm a bit sad to be losing the cute little mushroom cuts but that was already grown out, now he's grown up.

Tree Transplant - Rain, Rain Go Away

So, yesturday I attempted my first tree transplant. As you can see by the backyard photo the tree is missing. It was placed in it's new home yesturday under the care of it's new owner. I hope that it will be a successful transplant. It was at the near expense of my sanity and the life of my dear Ernie. At the end of the day yesturday Ernie had escaped the house twice, done his deed on the neighbours lawn and I had lost all patience with him and my poor dear children. Then the rain came, before I got done filling up the hole. It hasn't really stopped since yesturday afternoon and has filled a good portion of my kiddy pool. We could make some good mud pie though.

Tree in it's new home:)
