Wyatt, enjoying a beautiful spring day at Uncle Kel and Auntie Sherry's house!
Clay's away today so I thought I would get a shot of my beautiful face for him to see before he drifts off to sleep....hehehe
Okay honestly, I was going for something that looks a little more genuinely me, but getting the focus just right for a self-portrait using a big aperture with a self-timer....well, let's just say I have some practicing to do. This is one of the few that came out clearly. So here you have me - model edition. Don't you love the smoldering look in my eyes?

We had a bunch of friends over for games this evening, and we played Pictionary using the photo channel on the Wii. It made for an interesting game, that's for sure!
Falling asleep on the couch in the middle of the day is a sure sign that this young man is not feeling like himself. Poor guy. He's such a trooper though.
Little Miss Boo, who seems more intent on eating books than reading them at this point. Bible stories....she picked a good book to devour!
It was a rainy day today. A perfect soup day. So here's just a quick snap of what I threw together for supper. This was my first real attempt at winging it with soup, and it was amazing. I have dubbed it Roasted Red Pepper Chicken Noodle Soup (what a mouthful!) and will definitely attempt it again!
I miss getting real mail. Real, "Hey I was just thinking of you and decided to write you a letter" kind of mail. I found this journal and stationery at HomeSense and had to get them. I figure if I have beautiful paper to write on I'll be more motivated to send out of the blue Thinking of You Mail.
Remember my paper pots? My tomatoes are growing like crazy, and the peppers just started to peek their heads out of the dirt today!
I took this at 11:45 p.m. I love being able to crank the ISO on this camera - it looks like there is daylight streaming through the window!

That's what the name of this paint is. Don't you find paint colours need a good name in order for you to like them? I know I wouldn't feel the same about this colour if it were called something like Oil Slick, Tar Paper, or 10w30. Midnight Dream....it sure works for me.
The piece that I'm painting is a cabinet that my dad built for me back in December. I went to buy paint in January and somehow allowed the guy to talk me into stain when I knew I wanted paint. I kept trying to work up the nerve to use the stain but today, I finally took it back and exchanged it for some paint. I wish it hadn't taken me so long to do because I am thrilled with the results! I can't wait to start putting this baby to use. I'll post a photo of the finished product in a few days once it's in its place.

We all had to know this might happen!
We had been enjoying spring's early arrival until we woke to this today. The wind has been howling all day, garbage and shingles blowing outside...
Saskatchewan. You've got to be prepared for anything.
