Here we go again...

Another post for all my faithful readers out there! :)


Sorry, I know this is quite late, but it will probably be all you get from me for the next little while. Explanation coming.....


First, here is a pic of my sweetie and one of her favourite drawings. This is a picture of a jellyfish being eaten by a sea turtle. She started drawing this after we took a visit to the science centre where we watched a film about creatures of the sea. It really was too scary for the little kids, but we are amazed at how much she actually absorbed of the film, and also from the exhibits at the science centre. At the time, we felt like the trip was a bit of a waste, thinking that we should wait till the kids are a bit older to go to a place like the science centre. However, we found that she had learned a lot when she would talk about certain things that we had seen and done there! Cool!

Here is a pic of our little buddy dancing in his carseat to one of his favourite songs by the Wiggles. I absolutely love having a DVD player in the van because when we are coming back from somewhere, and it is Brandon's nap time, all I need to do is turn on the DVD and it keeps him awake till we get home. Cool!

In other news, here is another "before" pic of our family room. Notice the curtains and how they don't reach the floor. This bugged me.

Now notice, new-to-me curtains which are the perfect height, in perfect condition, and for only $5 at a garage sale! Cool! Can't beat that!

Unfortunately my garage sale days are basically over for this season since I have begun working once again at the Brampton Farmers Market on Saturday mornings. This job is rewarding in many ways. I get to be out of the house for awhile without the kids. I get to see and talk with people. I get to take home fresh produce (mainly strawberries, mmm!) from the market. I will get to visit my parents every Saturday afternoon for lunch before heading home. But I will be beat when Saturday evening rolls around. And, I will miss hanging out with Robin and the kids on Saturdays.


That means I have to make the most of the rest of the week with my family. And it's summertime, people! So you might not catch me blogging too frequently in the near future. But I will try to keep up a little bit!
