My 2007 Daily Photo Diary

@msspider66 & satrina* - I love the gummies too, but we didn't end up getting any. We decided to get candies that had a wrapper on them for the treat bags.

Matthew's Birthday is on Feb. 13, but we are having the party tomorrow, Sunday.

Happy Birthday to Matthew! Enjoy the party.

My favorite would be the one on the right but the one in the left looks good too.

Happy birthday to Mathew, that day my grandpa would be 94 if he were still with us

Satrina: av meg

oh would you look at that candy stall!!??!!
Good job I didn't go with you... I'd have bought out the place!!

Are those lipsticks testers or come from a doll's kit?

@ sunshine - I used to sell "AVON". These are the sample size lipsticks I used to give out to my customers.

Mathews' birthday is February 13th. Today we had a party with his friends at the bowling alley. I like when the kids choose to have there parties here. So much less stress and no mess to clean up.
He had a Ninja Turtle cake that was made using 24 cupcakes.

Cool colors!

What a fun cake, too! "Fresh from the Sewers" lol!

Great shot, I agree with ebilflindas, it was really cool colours!

That cake looks great, did you bake it?

Satrina: av meg

@ ebilflindas -Thanks. The kids all really liked the sign. Everyone wanted a piece of the "sewer". When the parents arrived to pick up the kids the were all talking about how they ate some of the sewer.

@satrina* - Thank you and no I didn't bake it. My cupcakes look like the one in my Jan 16th photo. I wish I was that talented.

Don't feel bad, I can't bake, period. Beside a couple of meals I can't cook either :P

Matthew's new skates.

Feb 13, 2007

I have been volunteering two days a week at the kid's school (Tuesdays and Thursdays). Today I was in the library

I loved it when my dad volunteered at a school project, I'm sure you're kids will have this good memory when they grow up :)

I am so behind. :(
I have been busy volunteering at my kid's school and catching up on some unfinished projects.

Hey! is nice to see you back here! Don't worry, you'll catch up :)

Satrina: av meg

I know what you mean about unfinished projects. I have been working on crocheting a blanket for my three year old niece for over a year. One of these days it will get done.

Well I have done it again. Let this diary get so far behind. I am going to give it another try,

March 10, 2007

When out in the morning and the parking lot was full of ducks.

March 14, 2007

I went to the store with my daughter and saw these mints. I had to buy them, I knew they would be something that appealed to my husband's sense of humour.

haahha that mint tin is just too goofy!!

Glad to see you're back!

You're back!

I like the colors of the ducks feathers but I love the face of this bunny.

Satrina: av meg

gee there is a lot of holes in your diary !
I wonder if I should be a bit severe ...
one pic a day, remember ???

[LadyBadTiming / snapshooting my life away, day after day, after day, after day]

Damn you'd be far too severe !And those people who just completely stop posting, are you gonna harass them with mail so they come back posting ,uh ?

@sunshinecity & satrina* - thanks :)

@ Ladybadtiming - yes many holes and now even more :(((
I have been very bad :(


@Glow* - Thanks, but maybe she wasn't sever enough I have missed two weeks in a row :( -but I do keep trying:(

March 27, 2007
Today I went with my sons class to the Maple Sugar Bush. We got to see how maple syrup was made and taste some maple sugar candy. They went on a hay ride and saw some goats.The kids had a great time. It was very muddy and they were all covered in it by the time we went home.

Glad to see that you´re back!
*sweet coffee* Candy for the eye

Yes, it's nice to have you back! :)

Bought this for a recipe Guinness Stew and now I am not sure what to do with the rest.

more Guinness Stew? never tried it, is it good?

Satrina: av meg

satrina*- I probably won't make it again. My family wouldn't eat it. It had a very strong flavour and my husband didn't like the fact that there was no meat in it.

March 29, 2007
A group of ladies for a local church make these eggs every year. Some of them are in their eighties and nineties. I am not sure how many years they have been selling them but, they have never raised the price. $2(CAN)
I tried to get one of each flavour bur, they were all out of chocolate :(

omg Marmite!! You don't know what to do with it?? Use it on sliced bread... it's pretty good! A marmite sandwich is the snack of champions LOL
A thin layer of butter or margarine and then a very thin layer of marmite... try it!
If not send it to me LOL .... I'll eat it!!
= D

Bella - Thank You ! :)

YIKES! Those look scary!

Don't feel bad about not posting--better that you take care of business in real life and miss a few days of the year here. I, on the other hand, might fail a class because I spend more time here than on homework... :-\

How's the boy like his skates? They look sharp! (Sorry, but I love puns!)

The Hardy Boys! I used to have a bunch of those! Are you old enough to remember the TV series?

I would've so totally bought that tin o' mints on sight! I recently bought a tin of "Last Supper" mints.

Guiness stew? Marmite? is that like Vegemite? I rarely hear good things about the stuff--but then again, it might be something I'd really like!

I said do you speak-a my language?
He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich...

Ooh marmite!!! I have to agree with sunshine the stuffs gorgeous, I prefer it on toast. In the UK they've started selling Guiness Marmite, might be good for your stew :)

Those things do look scary. Flash one of those when the kid misbehaves....

www.flickr.com/groups/2007/discuss/72157594528937014/

@sunshinecity- Thanks :), They have a lot of them. I could probably go back and get one and send it to you. ;)

@ebilflindas - yes you are right real life must come first.
-Matt loves his skates. My husband took him skating that night for the first time. When the got home Matthew was so proud of himself because he didn't fall once.
-Yes I remember the Hardy Boys series. I used to watch it every week with my dad. :)
-I am told that Marmite is similar to Vegemite, but that it has a stronger taste.

@SimonKimber - I heard about the Guiness Marmite. Have you tried it yet?

@ItinerArts - LOL! ;)

No I'm not a big fan of guiness so Im in no rush to try it

Simon’s Project 365

I discovered Marmite when I stayed in South Africa. It's spread very thinly on toast (very, very thinly).

Love hte look of these rubber chicken... Are they specifically for Easter?


ParaScubaSailor en voillage (prononcez voyage, petits voilleurs)...

@ParaScubaSailor - Yes they are for Easter. They are being sold as dog toys.

The Whoopee Cushion is my boys favourite April fools Day prank. They call it the "WHOMPEE" cushion.

April 2, 2007

Whoa! Easter has arrived!!!! Those bunny chicken bikini things are hilarious :-)

oh, oh, that March 31th picture has offically beaten anything I've been attempting for Easter. :) that is hilarious.

Easter was a good inspiration, great shots on the 31th and the 2nd.
Just catch up with your diary, so I rolled up all the way and found some great pictures, especially the skates in B&W.

Today the kids and I made chocolates. It is something we try to do every Easter. Making Chocolates set.

Mmmmmmm Chocolate :) Did the kids get to lick the bowl?? Always the best bit of baking!

Simon’s Project 365

@ Simon - I agree, that is the best part. The kids licked the bowls and spoons and my husband liked the pot.

I like the pot, too.
Oh.
Wait.
You probably meant something else...nevermind!

The boys got these for Easter. They are called Phlat Balls. You can flatten them than the pop back into a ball.

Mmm, chocolate balls! I really like the bracelet of the watch from the 3rd of April.

ParaScubaSailor en voillage (prononcez voyage, petits voilleurs)...

Wow, how great are those as a travel toy for summer!

@ParaScubaSailor -Thanks :)

@daxster78 - I had the same thought. I am sure they will be using these a lot this summer.

The kids had a PA Day (they had the day off school). The start to act a little crazy sitting around the house all day. So i decided to take them out. We went bowling. Then we went for pizza and to the Art Gallery. On the walk home we saw a baby beaver swimming in the lake.

Tried out a recipe for Scottish Tablet. They were very good and very sweet. Thank you to ckaiserca for the recipe

Oooh looks nice, is it a sort of fudge or something??

@Simon- yes the taste is sort of like fudge. Actually it has many of the same ingredients as my grandma's fudge recipe.

@ Sunshine - Thanks. Yes, you should try it it is so good! :)

May 1, 2007

I found out my cousin and his wife are going to be having their first baby. I crocheted them this blanket. Now I have a excuse to get out all my baby patterns and make baby things again. Yay!
