Academic Honour Roll

year 5 complete here in Canada.   On the academic honour roll.

What going for a hike with three boys looks like

The first 30 minutes they raced each other down the path.    Then we got to the look out and then they did this.   Were not happy that they had to walk back and we told them they were too heavy now for us to carry them.   

Spring Cleaning......Late

Got a bug in my bonnet and started to spring clean the whole house.   Only it's more like a summer clean because it is the end of June.   

Mishap

Going over a fence.   Got my pant leg caught on a nail.   Dangled for a bit before my pants ripped.   Glad nothing got hurt.  Glad no one saw!!

Shuswap Road

Have been looking at the sight for months from my window and when I am at the farms fields across the road.    Finally had some time to get the shot I was thinking of. 

Those Eyes

What I see in my Garden Lately

Prezzies from Cobar

Daddy came back from Cobar,  NSW, Australia today.   With him loads of prezzies from an amazing friend.   Dad got the Freddo Frogs and Caramelo Koala's that we asked for.   Plus a newspaper to get us updated on all the events.   Aprons,  games and a wonderful australia cookbook that just made me laugh and look at it for hours.   The lemonade was cracked and sipped slowly to remember the taste we all have in our heads.    Haven't tried the new favourite drink.   I think I will have to sit on the deck and sip it in the sun this weekend.    Thank you,  Thank you,  miss you heaps.

Wild Mustard

I have been spotting this yellow colour from across the river for weeks.   Near a farm I go to.   Yes it is a weed,   but it is pretty and in a really lovely location.    So I begged the kids to come with me and be models.   Really wished a horse or dog was running through it instead.   These guys had little time to help mom out. 

Yummy

Trying to shake these coughs that are around our house with some healthy colourful food.  

Crafts

Pulling out the crafts while the little ones have the sniffles and coughs in my house.     A day to lay low.

Child Number Three

Mushrooms in the Backyard

With all this rain we are getting a lot of fungi growth in our lawn.

Sunshine is a welcome thing

It has been fair too long not having some dry sun filled days.   The neighbours have been phoning again for plays.  

Daddy's Home

Week one done with Daddy gone.  He's home now for 48 hours and then off again.   There was another lady at the airport with three kids.  They were all teenagers,   but she said they get just as excited for daddy to come home as my little ones do.   It was neat to see two boys taller then their dad bear hug him as he came through the gates.  

6pm

It has been raining all day for over a week.   Though around 6pm for the last few nights the sun peaks out and we get some sunlight for brief moments. 

Summer rains

It has been raining tonnes around here.   But it is making things very pretty and green. 

Green Belt

So here it is the cheesy sport shot.    Hannah tested for her green belt.   So she went up from a yellow green belt to a green.   Needs to work on her pomsee but her sparing is excellent.  Did a lot of other stuff as well.  It was a very long 3 hours.
