nate sat like this for a good 5 mins. excited much? ha

" cat? what cat? i am not touching the cat"
he was not allowed to touch the cat....

need i say anything?
nothing like a great glass of wine

and grapes

"dog? what dog? i am not touching the dog?"

right

man. i love this child

kisses for uncle johnny

look at those dino's! roarrrrrrrrrrrrrr

we too off to j&j's to wait out the storm. it was a good time. there is something that must be said about just chilling, in the middle of no where, doing nothing and waiting out a storm. relaxing, peaceful and fun!

j and i took off sat morning to do some bin diving and such. so much fun to pick and chat and sip your coffee...then when we got home jess surprised me with a basket of cloths to pick through, stuff that she was tired of! yeah! fun!

we are home, sweet, wonderful good home...and lost in laundry and cleaning and errands to be run...with that i must get going!

it's good to have a home. to be home

how's did you spend your labour wkend?

*bin diving=frenchy's

my heart!

i peeked out the window this morning and saw nate helping chris with the crab or as nate calls it "crap" grass

so cute!

yesterday i was talking with a gal pal and she was inquiring on what nate eats and how i get him to eat what he does...then she declared "you must blog this" so, as we indulged in our lunch today, i laughed and grabbed the camera...

mmmm yummy cauliflower

followed with some de-lish green beans (raw, not cooked) freshly picked from my garden

a tomato that must be ate like an apple

mmmmm raw carrots

hee hee

we also had toast with jam (papa's jam!) milk and some juice

we were also emptying the fridge...i am freaky like that...i love to see how empty i can get it. i buy groceries...then wait as long as possible to fill it back up...ha!

i have cut our grocery bill in 1/2 by NOT shopping at superstore! i get most of my veggies at the local sterlings, costco (i am lazy and buy huge packs of pre cut/washed veggies) i pick up meats at superstore once a yr when they go crazy on sale. then i freezer seal them and save a bundle!

so there ya go. today's lunch

which will prob be followed by supper at mcdee's

yesterday, i opened my blinds to this view

they cut down 1/2 the trees!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

we inquired. they are building 24 more homes on this street. i am feeling very boxed in, i want my little house in the country back! sniff

i want trees. not houses!

ha

i was interrupting his tv watching

that's better

another day

another tent/fort

mercy me! it's HOT out there. i won't complain. i love it. nate not so much. i went out to harvest some of my veggies but it was a wee bit to hot for the lad, so we headed back to the dark, cold house...i plan on picking the veggies tonight...

my plan is to have chris come out and help me pick, chat and share....

...and pray that the humidity will bring back sweet memories of days gone by....

...in a warmer climate....

....to tug at his heart.....

*cough* vacation? *cough*

heehee

nate woke us up yesterday morning and announced rather excitedly

"i made YOUR breakfast"
then told us to go down stairs. he ran ahead and chris and i followed.
we found him at the table, sitting and ready

nate got a green pepper

chris got an onion and a lemon

thanks bud!

i came into the back living room last night to find nate like this

sitting on this throne

goof ball!

i love my kid!

SARAH EIG!

i saw this hair commercial yesterday, spotted this cute cut and thought of you! ignore the nice and easy hair color box (it was a n&e commercial. ha)

i think you would rock this cut because you have that cute, tiny, pixie face. you can do a bang or a longer version and you have amazing cheek bones/collar bone to boot!

here is another version of that same cut...you can totally do this cut, you have that sass! ...i thinks that is...
