Special weekend!

The annual fishing trip where K goes fishing with friends, only this time our big boy was big enough to go too! So my little one and I have been having treats and playing all over!

He also received a special Bible this morning as he is going up to Grade 1 Sunday School in fall... But there are other kids in the pic and I don't post pics of other people's children without consent... During Sunday School circle the leader asked if anyone had anything special to share... He said that he was having a special weekend with his mommy! 😍

After the waffles today, we bought a dream catcher, because he admires them... We were going to go to the museum after; but while we were eating he said he wanted to go home for a while and relax... It's been a busy weekend I guess! So we went to the sunroom and read all the books on the picture... He just kept choosing them off our shelves or book bins... At one point I said "you still interested in reading?" because I want to make sure he isn't just sitting there because of me and he answered "yep. I'm living he dream" which made me laugh. Then he added "...only it really is my dream... And it came true" Ahhh! My heart melts!

Mother's Day

What a beautiful day! Lovely presents from my boys and husband ( fantastic accessories for my kayak!) and a lovely beach day with boys and mom and dad, who came in the afternoon! We all had a lovely Mother's Day brunch last weekend, so this was an extra lovely visit on the beach! Off to have a cottage dinner at their place, then home... But back here again in 5 days for the Long Weekend!

Beach weekend!

There is no where in the world that I am more present-in-the-moment than this place... My little one has been full of Mother's Day treats today. First he came in to our room and when I said It's hard to say no to a -- (name) cuddle.. He answered "it's hard to say no to a mommy cuddle"... Then on the beach he made a sand picture of us... And as we walked along the beach ha sang "Love you forever, love you for always, as long as I'm living my Mommy you'll be." Our big boy came up to me on the beach and wanted a hug too... Playing in the sand, walking on the beach... This is a relaxing weekend I have been looking forward to after many months of endless responsibilities and commitments... Looking forward to summer with these guys at our favourite place...

Easter morning!

They want paska for breakfast! But, what other day can you do that? :-)

My oldest's opinion of getting dressed for Easter at church: "I feel like my shoes are choking my toes"

Springtime fun

Paska!!!

Just made this today! Took 9 hours... But yummy!

Beach

The beach in March! Forecast says high 26 C today! Too bad we didn't bring our snowshoes to climb through deep snow on the beach... Would have been a funny picture! Snowshoes, shorts, beach chairs... Sand.. Ice... :-)

Now more of a Raiders snowman

Snowman weather!

Polar bears!

Our little guy is "person of the week"...at the same time as they study polar bears, so I made these for his last day!

Wishes of the almost 9 year old

If anyone gets any of these things, please send a message saying which one so it can be removed :-)

For the following two things, someone has already bought the front box (Buzz Lightyear, the space guy), but not the spaceship thing above that box, which he wants too...

It was at the children's section of the Indigo bookstore in January...
