sunday, sunday!

another week has come and gone and the summer is dwindling down, who am i kidding, WHAT SUMMER!!! since we had such terrible weather, maybe we will have a nice indian summer to make up for it, eh! :)

here is a layout i did last night about justin and his abs!!! i know there is no lighthouse in gaspé but that cute little button goes with the sea and it went very nicely with my cardstock and trim! ;)

two layouts for today!

i made these two layouts 3 weeks ago just after we celebrated laura's birthday, about the fact that her and donald have the same sign, but not the same birthstone and lisa and dom have the same birthstone, but not the same sign. and as you can see i was into the flowers that day and black and white!!!

they look like they are not happy, but in actual fact they were listening intently to some story that reg was telling and i like to take shots like that.

good weekend!

we didn't get the rain they predicted for the weekend, so i'd say it turned out pretty good. laura came to pick up justin friday afternoon and we went into st. lambert for st. lambert days and to mind the girls while dom had an interview on a radio station that was there, which only took about 15 mins. then we came home for some yummy sushi.

saturday i went on a very successful shopping spree and then last night we went back to st. lambert for dom's outdoor concert and today lisa, dom and the girls came over to swim. i predicted that elki would learn to swim without her wings this year on a recent layout (which i have not uploaded here yet) and she did it today!!! she was even jumping into the pool without them, but of course we were there to catch her.

i didn't get to scrap, but here is one i did a few weeks ago which i find fun!

freedom friday!

as much as i love my grandson, a week is almost too much for me to take!!! because he is an only child, he never wants to be alone and it's me he wants all the time, never his grandfather. of course his grandfather has played golf 3 days this week so he hasn't exactly been here. justin had his moments too of missing his parents and all the exercise he is getting swimming lengths in the pool with me ;) makes him so tired at night that he gets sad because he is not with them! so this afternoon his mom is coming to get him and we will go to the movies as a treat for him and tomorrow we'll be back to our quiet house again! :)

here is a layout i did last week before justin arrived and of course i don't get to do any scrapping when he is here either, so i'll be glad to have some time for that again!

this weeks's a.c. blog challenge

was to use remarks stickers on a layout, so here is mine using all those new cute little critter & flower stickers. as a matter of fact this is pretty much an all american crafts layout! :)


supplies:
cardstock: american crafts & bazzill
pp, thickers and stickers: american crafts
pen: staedtler fineliner
brads: american traditions & karen foster

tfl!

summer has finally arrived!

we waited all of july for this to happen and it's finally here, yeah!!! i love the heat! today will certainly be a lazy day spent mostly cooling off in the pool. i must rest up, since justin is coming to spend the week tomorrow. camp has finished for the summer and he only starts school the week after next, so he will be spending his last week here. why do summer camps finish one week too early, does everyone have this same problem that works? what a crazy system!

anyway here is a layout i did of zoe singing happy birthday to elki after everyone had left the party. of course, we didn't actually understand the words except 'aki', she even plays the orchestra leader!

hope everyone has a great weekend!

weekend fun!

so far it has been a fun weekend starting out with friday night when i had a nice relaxing dinner with nathalie and julie in st. lambert, after a very hectic day starting out at 6 am when i went for my blood test with the rest of the cattle at the clsc.

saturday we celebrated 3 birthdays, donald's was on monday, laura's yesterday and zoé's is on tuesday, and we finally had a great saturday weatherwise to do it on!!! here are a few shots from the day.



in this next photo, zoé is serenading us with a meow, meow, meow song and to keep the rhythm, her head went back and forth with the meows!



nemo took a surfboard ride which he liked better than going swimming!



elki was not in such a good mood and wanted her mummy until we blew up the alligator and then she was right in there having a ball with justin who was alligator wrestling, turning them upside down and just having some good old kid fun!



and to top it off the blowing out of the candles on the asked for strawberry shortcake, but zoé only watched as don and laura blew, she was more interested in using the candle end to sneak some whipped cream!



thanks for stopping by letting me bore you with our weekend photos!
