Hello Again.

While life isnt always as boring and uneventful as I usually make it out to be, its hard to remember the good fun moments, or even to put much meaning or significance behind them.

This morning Sprout and I went to our Gym Tots class and had a lot of fun. She's one of the older kids there, and this week had more kids in the class, so there was more fun and learning to be had. Sprout actually had more fun with swinging on the rings, the bars, balance beams and trampolines! I was quite impressed, as I was feeling iffy on the class this go around for some reason.
My friend Sev and her daughter K came over in the afternoon and we ended up going for a wonderfully lovely walk to the air park, around it, and back. So good to get out of the house and away from screens, especially when the weather is still nice!
This evening I was pleased to receive a phone call letting us know we got into the Mother Goose program at the rec center! Good thing I put our name on the 12 person wait list, yowza! I was looking at my planner, and we've got something to do every single day during the week! Fabulous! We've also started going to a new tot group, tomorrow will be our second visit, and we both really enjoyed it last week.

Last night I tried my hand at some kool-aid play dough. It was a success! Nice and pink! I managed to find some used play dough accessories the other day, so we hauled those out, and the play dough out of the fridge, and Sprout had a great time. She pretended the play dough was a baby, feeding it, carrying it, and I even heard her talking to it. She even put every thing away after I asked her too! Hurrah!
This evening, in another attempt to keep her away from her tv, we painted some rocks together, and it was pretty fun. I'm on a mission to try toddler friendly fun new things!

Sprout had a good day.

Brand New Blog!

After fiddling around with my dot com, and trying to make and style things the way I wanted and failing at it, I decided to just jump on the band wagon and go with blog spot. At least this way I'm on search listings and such, and maybe I'll get people interested in following me. I can dream, right?

An awesome weekend was had.



I thought it was going to be spent crying and worn out from Sophie and her new temper tantrums but instead, yesterday we drove down to Nanaimo for the day to meet up with my folks. We had lunch, did some walking and shopping, and it was so awesome to see them.


Earrings! I've been making these for a while now, I already have 17 pairs made and ready for the craft fair. Holy crap! I want to do a giveaway.. lol.

Today was a wonderful day.


We had to take back a movie and that was the start of today's adventure. After that errand was done, we grabbed lunch at Quizno's and ate at the bird sanctuary on comox rd. It was beautiful, god how I love these sunny days! Sophie had her first drink from a straw, yay juice!


Next we went to Royston to look at the boat wrecks there, and so I could take some pictures for Mark with my awesome new camera. A stop in to Walmart to grab some baby goodies and a ball for the back yard. Staples for a camera bag (which I so needed!) and Winners to look at more storage ideas.

Came home briefly only to have my friend Sev come over with her daughter, and we walked to the park, and let the babies swing for a while. Then back home so I could drop off Sophie and Cuba (was dog sitting!) and we walked to the mall to check out a few things including the new grocery store, which I already love.
Lots of sun and good times.

xo, fran.
