Mosaic Monday - Shoes!

The girls and I found shoes hanging from a cable in the city. They were intrigued but we couldn't figure our why the shoes were there. We've talked a lot about shoes ever since so I thought that was the perfect theme for this weeks collage.

Mellow Yellow Monday!

I'm taking advantage of the beautiful fall colors this week again for my entry over at Mellow Yellow Monday. The little one and I had a gorgeous day at the park and she happily kicked around among the leaves for the longest time.

Sunday Snapshot!

Oh dear, the Silly bands have entered our house! The girls have been playing with these all weekend. I don't really get it but I'm probably just too old for this.

Camera Critters!

This week I thought I'd show a photo of one of the smallest critters I've ever captured in a shot. We found him while picking blueberries and his blue color was stunning.

The Playground!

The little one and I went to a new playground to try it out. She tried everything to her hearts content and we had a great time.

Week 43 - "Pink Week" Photo Challenge!

When I saw what this weeks theme was going to be over at I Heart Faces I immediately thought of this photo. My youngest in her pink jacket with that content little smile on her face as we threw lots and lots of autumn leaves at her. She kept holding on to the prettiest ones that she had picked.

Mellow Yellow Monday!

The little one decided to pick autumn leaves. I thought they looked perfect for Mellow Yellow Monday.

Magnetic Letters!

The girls little cousin celebrated her 2nd birthday recently. We knew immediately what to buy for her - Magnetic Letters! Both our girls have loved these things and we took them out when they were around the age of 2. They are great fun and provides such easy learning for the child. We never practised with our girls, they just loved standing at the fridge playing with the letters and learning what letter their name began with and our names and their friends names and grandmothers etc. Our youngest has a pretty long name with 8 letters and she has had such good help from these magnetic letters. She is 4 years old now and can spell and write her name perfectly and we still have all the letters up on our fridge. Our little cousin loved all the colorful letters and started playing with them immediately. Hopefully they will give her as much as they've given our girls.

Shutter Love Tuesday - "A Story in Pictures"

Yeah, I made top 10 over at The Trendy Tree House this week coming in at number 10. I'm honoured!

We had a great time at the "salon" and the girls really want to do this again. And now we can't just paint our nail, oh no, we need the whole "salon" every time.

Mosaic Monday - Fading Summer!

Summer is definately behind us now but there is still beauty to be found all around. This is what I could find next to the playground when I took the girls out the other day.

Sunday Snapshot!

We spent Sunday outdoors, looking at the ocean and exploring art. It was a gorgeous day. I just love when they get so totally fascinated with art.

Oh, doesn't she look mellow (or maybe just dizzy)! She had great fun anyway in that yellow, spinning thing.

Week 42 - "In The Orchard" Photo Challenge!

Our oldest resting her legs in one of our local orchards. It's a beautiful place right next to a lake and with a little café that serves homebaked bread and cookies.
