Not Me Again

It is Monday again, and for the 2nd week in a row I will post a Not Me Monday.

It was Not Me this week when looking for new sunglasses headed over to the kids section and started trying them on. I most certainly did not walk out with some High School Musical sunglasses because they were the only ones that fit me!

When at the beach this weekend I did not secretly wish that my son would pee in the water so that I would not have to run him up the hill all the way to the washrooms. Not Me!

And lastly I would never just post a Not Me Monday just to enter a giveaway contest... I am not doing that.... I would never do that... and if I win, I won't tell you that I did!

More Fun in the Sun

Two days of fun in the sun, could summer be here? We had a church party out at Moyie Lake, it was the first time in 3 years we have had sun for this party! We relaxed at the beach, ate great food with great friends and enjoyed the warm weather. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the party.

Flutterbyes

One cool thing Cici's class has been doing is "growing" butterflies. They all started as caterpillars and then watched them as they made their chrysalis and then they all hatched. They are going to release them this week . It was pretty fun for her and she wanted some pictures taken so she could remember them!

Oh, they are Painted Ladies, just so you know!

Not Me Monday

Not me Monday was born from MckMama who wished to be honest to her blog readers, so, I will take my turn and give you my very first Not Me Monday.

It was Not Me who today, driving in the car, opened a juice box SECRETLY as not to tip off my 2 year old son that I had it. I then did not proceed to drink it secretly, hiding it from sight of him so I wouldn't hear the whining and persistent asking to have one!

I certainly am not ignoring a pair of dog poo shoes at the front step, Not Me, I always get that sort of gross thing cleaned up right away and not leave it (hopefully) long enough so my husband will have to deal with it! Nope Not Me!

And I absolutely did not grab the only pair of undies that I can wear with my white linen pants out of the dirty laundry, gave them a sniff and put them on for church yesterday. I would never do such things... and then blog about it!

And lastly, I would never be so uncool as to take pictures of big construction trucks that happen to be working on our ally. I am way to sophisticated for that. Not only did I head out to the ally with my hubby and son to watch, but I took pictures of them so I would have something special to blog about. Not Me!

Up in the Air

If you are wondering if Paul got some huge forearms and some tats... he didn't, that is our friend Dave having fun with J Man!

I took the girl's out for a surprise date yesterday. First it was lunch at Tim's then we headed to watch Toy Story 3. They were so excited! It is so much fun taking kids to movies, I love to watch them react and interact with the show! It was pretty good, there was only one part that got B nervous and she couldn't watch, oh and we were warned about the toy monkey, so when he showed up we were ready to laugh instead of scream!! I had a lot of fun with my girl's yesterday, I hold fast to these times that they are young and want to hold my hand and be silly with me. I love this time, but also look forward to the future and what our relationship can be.

It is Father's Day and Gracie was the first one up, dressed and in the kitchen making Paul breakfast. I had to realize the noises I heard and headed down to help her out! They made him cards, B grew him some plants at school, Cici made him nuts and bolts and Jude colored a card and put car stickers on it. It is pretty cool to see them step up and and get creative and take it out of my hands! I am thankful to God that I have an incredible Dad that under Christ loves, serves and leads his family and I have married a man that does the same. Happy Father's day!
