I am so happy it’s spring.
I love sitting outside and letting the kids play.
We finally got the patio set up.
Now just the backyard needs a huge clean-up.
There are dandelions galore (because of a weed that was in my neighbors yard last year).

Mack got himself soaking wet not even 2 minutes after we got outside. That’s okay. Diaper it is. Love his little chunky thighs. From a kid that was always tiny (10th percentile for weight), he’s really gotten some rolls on his thighs! I love it.

The boys decided that the garden needed some work. It actually does. Some weeding and Jamie needs to turn the soil so by Victoria Day weekend I can start planting. I’m hoping that the 14 day trend on weathernetwork.com gives me no where near 0°C after Vic Day weekend, so that I can plant directly outside. Last year there was frost warning until the first week of June, but for some reason, I think the snow we saw last week is long gone and forgotten about. It was 26°C today! Crazy weather for having snow a few days ago.


Here is the progress on my babette v.2. (The non-solid version). I’m loving this one, and they’re crocheting up really quickly as they are just 4 round squares. After this picture (where I’d done 21 squares, I now have as of tonight, 28 squares).

I am loving this stack of squares.

Today I want to show you the lovely knitting needles I brought back from Daiso in B.C.
They are so fun & colourful.
I have a bunch of vases in my office, I collect needles. The more funkier the better.
I actually wouldn’t mind using these if the pattern calls for the sizes I have.
Aren’t they fun and cheerful?

Today I think it's cute/funny that this morning, Sean brought me a book on the solar system. He then showed me different pages stating "this is earth, this is the sun, this is the milky-way". When I asked him where he learned about the milky-way, he responded "From Caillou's Daddy".
