We went blueberry picking today. Purple lips & fingers all around. We didn't take many home - it was more for the family time than anything. Picking the berries made us think of blueberry pancakes for supper. We ate so many as we were going that we had to stop at the store to buy some more! Oh well, the pictures are great!
One For the Bucket, One For Me
Friday's Work
The fruits (or more acucurately, Salsa) of my labour on Friday...69 pints of Salsa. MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmm good!
Dinosaur Dig
Dylan got a dinosaur-digging kit given to him. He grabbed Dwayne & started the project right away. You dig for the bones and then you try to piece it together. He looks like an official archaeologist with the glasses that came with the kit.
House Construction
The house is coming along. It's funny how small everything looks before it's done. I know in my head that it's not really small because I know the measurements of everything, but when I'm standing there looking at it I'm thinking "Yikes!!!!" On August 15, they are supposed to be laying the trusses on so both floors and the basement will all be framed. Here are a few pictures for a glimpse...
Vacation
Although our vacation in July was very short, we had some fun family time. The weather at the lake was very hot. The beach was fun and the water was nice and warm. We never did catch any of the minnows that we were trying to but the boys built some nice sandcastles and rivers with Daddy on the beach.
We're Back
We got back from vacation a couple of days ago. Yesterday and the day before I had a babysitter who played with the children while I unpacked and organized like a crazy-woman. I can't handle it when things are everywhere & I just wanted it done. It's all done now and I can continue to enjoy the children and the extremely hot weather.
Our vacation was very short, lots of driving and not near as relaxing as I had hoped. We went home for the funeral - which is about 7 hours in the wrong direction. I was so glad that we went. My brother really needed our support. I know he's going to have a huge hole in his life. He really spent so much time with Travis. On Tuesday evening, we started travelling for our vacation. We spent a couple of days at a beautiful lake and spent a couple of days at Drumheller. We went there to watch a passion play (www.canadianpassionplay.com) and it was fabulous! Then we made the long journey home. We hope to get away again in August, as we really need a simple, relaxing vacation.
