The rain always makes things soggy!

It's been a crazy bunch of days around here, with G20 in the background, our schedule has been slightly chaotic and all over the place.

Plans for the weekend was taking in a visit at the Whittamore farm for their strawberry festival, visit at one of my daughter's godmother's... but Friday night while I was out celebrating my sister's belly dancing performances (I couldn't attend the performances but I was definitely proud that she can go out there and perform in front of a crowd.) the visit at A's godmother was canceled. Then in the morning the rain deterred us from going to the strawberry festival.

Sunday morning we had a nice overdo father's day brunch, which my daughters refused to sit still and eat breakfast. But at least I got to sit with my dad and just have a great conversation.

But I was reading the newspaper and it appears that my lack of visiting the farm was not their downfall this weekend, a celebrity decided to make her way over to Whittamore Farms with her famous child. Can you believe Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise went berry picking? A little bit of clout to the little northern town of Markham.

Cheers!~

We got rained out!!!

We had a busy week and weekend around here...

My husband had rented a booth at a car event-- it was for his airbrushing business. And he hadn't ever rented one before, so we worked hard on getting everything ready.

I asked and asked if the event producers had planned a rain date in case they got rained out, he said no it was a go no matter what the weather conditions were going to be. So we put putted ahead with all the plans. Business card printings, tables, tent and so on...

The morning was gray, the day would be long... I never got a chance to sleep a wink the night before. My girls slept the night at my mom's, so I got the chance to take in a overnight shower that was long and very forgiving. I hadn't taken a shower past bedtime in this house since my second was born.

There was also the Greece world cup game, first of 3 that are for sure. But they lost anyways... but in the end we got rained out like crazy. It poured and poured. It was a miserable shade of gray all day and it never stopped. I wouldn't say the day was a bust, because in the end we learnt how to prepare for a rental booth at an event.

What did you guys do this weekend?

Another busy week & weekend!

So my baby turned 2 this weekend. I feel funny calling her my baby, when she blatantly isn't one anymore. She's in her full prime of toddlerhood!

We threw a birthday party for her, it was nice there were plenty of people here, but I wish I had felt more up to it--- I wish I had spent days and days decorating and preparing. The blistering heat we had here in the city and the lack of a functioning A/C made me not want to turn on my stove all week. Other than making dinner for my family, there was no way I was turning my gas stove on.

I also been in a slump, a pretty bad slump. To say I sat around and did nothing all week was the reason it wasn't. I went to the beach with my girlfriend and her son and spent one of those squeltering days somewhere far cooler than my place, had a fantastic chat with my mommy friends but for some reason I can't get motivated in any way. I can't begin to work on my happiness project this month, it's a reality I really am struggling with.

But I am going to celebrate the fact that my daughter turned 2 and share a little poem a friend of mine shared on his blog.

When Elmo isn't ticklish,

And Pooh Bear hates honey,

When Tigger stops bouncing,

And Goofy isn't funny,

When Peter Pan can't fly,

And Simba never roars,

When Alice in Wonderland

Can't fit through the small doors,

When Dumbo's ears are small,

And happily ever after isn't true...

That's when I will stop

Loving you

Well I hope you all have a great weekend, hope you enjoy the image of chocolate cupcakes I made with some very colourful sprinkles.

Cheers!~
