Things I'm doing

We went to a Car show, saw about 1500 cars or so, here are some....







Then we had a Birthday.

We also went to the beach but as per the Altar of truth the past 2wks, I am up 2.2lbstotal, so we'll just wait on those pictures... until the 5th of never....

We saw this at the Car show too, definitely a genius idea, talk about eating on the go...

I also had to bite the bullet and actually cook a meal. This went ontop of rice, but it was just premade Meatballs, can of dice Tomatoes, and a can of Sweet Kernal corn, all heated in the same pan.  I used Spanish Rice for those that chose to have some. (insert eye roll) Some had the rice on a seperate plate. Please!

Also we did some of this... Pool boys in Training.

And finally there has been progress in the Tomato Plant department.

Now since it's HOT today we're off to the River to swim again. Anyone want to come with?

Sun, Summer, Cars, Boys and Filling in the Blanks!

And...here we go!
go on over and get a badge, and some fill in. :)

My Random, Burning, Bush, Summer, Hot, Humid, Ants?

hello all, it's Random Tuesday again. You know that day of the week where if I'm not too busy, you'll get to hear from me about the previous week? Go on over to Keely's grab yourself a button and get to randomizing.


Interesting enough it's also garbage day in the neighbour hood so I could just come out with garbage. Oh how do you like my neighbour with the u! I've gone all in the last week, next thing you know you'll see this place plastered in the colour red or Zeds being inserted wherever.


So I was over at Menopausal New Mom's and mentioned in the comment section I've got a Burning Bush. Now of course that comment had to come with a "do not enter Gutterville" but I know that Julie over at Momspective will be running for Mayor of Gutterville in a heartbeat after reading that one. It's all good because really it's Randomly Awesome.


Back to my Bush, it is in fact a tree that came with my house, it's a bush, and called a Burning Bush because it turns RED in the late summer early fall. It's beautiful when it happens buttttttt lately? the top end of it is all sticks and branches and no leaves. Anyone know anythign about this? I know I could go all great googly moogly on this one but then I couldn't post about my burning Bush as "dared" by Meno!


Critter Count of the week, no Bear! YAY! no Bear in my woods, in my bushes or in my yard. i'm still walking 4-5days a week and fitting some wiifit in there to work on the muscles walking forgets.We did see A chipmunk take off infront of my path while walking lastnight and some frogs singing in a pond. WOW they can really sing. Not that baby cheep cheep cheep frog sound but the twang of a mouth harp sound.

MJ's tomato Plant is doing wonderful, I was just coming in to take a picture when I started typing away at random. (just plugged in the card reader, and it fell apart in two, this may call for another picture, or a Jury Rigged Altoid box)

Yesterday we went to the Dentist I know it was Monday but the boys all had appointments. You all ahve to remind me MOndays? are not for dentists, and neither are mornings. In an effort to distract the children from their frozen gums and cheeks we ended up shopping. I swear I spend 60.00 on little bits of stuff, but the real winner of the day? We went to Michael's and found Wooden puzzles. They all picked one and 2/3 are completed this morning while mommy slept a bit longer. WOW! It really does show you how your kids brains think.

TJ's? not finished, he's the it can wait brain or oh look shiny? (I'm sure of it)
AJ's? Completed all but the top part by supper time. He sat in his room, and read the instructions 3 times, and pulled it apart and started again and after many words I'd rather not hear him say? he finished it. He? DETERMINED.
MJ? it may have been a bit over his head. TJ went in to help but that resulted in a bit of a "who is right, and who is wrong" discussion. MJ finally walked away, but had all the parts laid out. This morning? AJ went in and more words I'd rather not hear and frustrated tones but he completed MJ's with him too! helpfully.



uploading card... I got it back together... waiting waiting... waiting... Darn waiting...

I've started planning my attack on the trip to the island. I've got a to do list for the honey. hehe HoneyDo? for while I'm gone at first and then I've got my list of "must haves" to go with me. I will be purchasing the Captain before I leave and bringing him with me so this year, I'll get my Drink on the deck after the 3j's are asleep. (I know they wont sleep. I know this! too excited)

We are also going to a Baptism that Weekend. YAY! I'm excited about that one, and will get to squish and squeeze my new Nephew.Hes only 3.5months old now! and I haven't met him yet.

OK I think the pics are on... (no it didn't really take that long, I got awesomely randomly side tracked... oh shiny!)

Our 100% Canadian having fun downtown.This is the only thing he wanted to do when he "went to Canada"
June30th convo with MJ, "tomorrow is Canada Day" said mom.
"Can we go to Canada?" Said MJ...
"we are in Canada" said mom, "oh ok, can we go to Canada and bounce on the bouncy house?" so 15.00 later for a day of bouncing in 6 different bouncy houses he's one Happy Canadian.

also something different we saw on Canada Day... This is part of a musical Show that will be playing in town here at the Town house.

Also that light house behind it? That's where my profile pic was taken 3yrs ago. on top. I hate heights but I did it.
