Simply Sunday: Soccer Picture Day

Simply Sunday - WRC Soccer Picture Day Today was picture day for my daughter Melanie's U8 Soccer Team. I was fortunate enough to be selected as the photographer for the league again this year. We were ahead of schedule and after Melanie's team was finished Melanie and Andrew were just hanging out and I was able to create a few cute images of them together. On a related note, Andrew's soccer picture day was yesterday, but he refused to have his picture taken. He plays U4 in a different league and sadly for Andrew, … Continue Reading ››

Simply Sunday: Lego

Simply Sunday - Lego When I was growing up one of my favorite things to do was play with Lego. And I had lots of it! Two massive industrial ice cream pails full of it.

My mother has managed to keep most of that Lego through all the years that I've been gone, even as the children of her friends and her older grandchildren have used it and loved it too. The first thing that happens now when we visit their house is that the Lego is found and … Continue Reading ››

Simply Sunday: Dirt Store

Simply Sunday - Dirt Store
Andrew and I had a great day working on the garden today. I built some garden boxes in my backyard last weekend and they needed to be filled with soil...

We then went to the Dirt Store (the BURNCO Landscape Centre) to get a load of garden soil. Another big excitement because, although we took our shovels with us to load the truck, the Big Digger filled the … Continue Reading ››

Simply Sunday: Blue

Simply Sunday - Blue
Andrew had a birthday party and came home with a loot bag full of goodies. The thing he was most excited about was the ring pop, but he was almost as excited because there was a second one that he could share with his big sister! It was awfully cute that wanted to share it with her. In no time at all they both had bright blue tongues (and lips, and hands, etc...) and they were giggling like crazy. They had lots of fun … Continue Reading ››

Simply Sunday: Birthday Party Craft

Birthday Party Craft - Picture Frame It was my son Andrew's fourth birthday this week and we had a party for him yesterday. One of the things the kids got to do at the party was to paint and decorate a picture frame. If you have kids you've probably seen this before... your child comes home from a party or event with a really nice picture frame and months (or years) later it's still sitting there with no picture in it. Right? We didn't want that to happen, so all of the kids came out into my … Continue Reading ››
