Father's Day
Only what, 5 days late? What can I say... it's been one crazy week.
So last Sunday.... we went to the Airshow!!! In Hamilton!!! Where my first ever flight lesson took place!!
I know, that's a whole lot of exclamation points... AVGAS does that to me!!!
AND as a special bonus treat, got to hang out with some friends we had not seen in a long time. So yes, my boys......great friends... sunshine... airplanes... all things that make me very happy : )
Oh yes, and Karl enjoyed his day too!

Family Photo - Take One
Every year when we throw our neighbourhood party (I can say that now, since we have done it twice), I plan an "activity" for everyone to do. Last year we played a people Bingo, which was a riot (and I recycled the idea for a baby shower, too). If I figure out how to do it, I will post my Bingo cards so that you can download them and perhaps use them for your own event. They are awesome for getting a whole bunch of people who do not know each other very well talking. And laughing.
This year, we set up a photo booth. Complete with FREE DIY props you can download for free over here.
I thought everyonewas a dork like me and would totally love it, but in fact, only a few families took advantage. Secretly, I was also hoping someone would snap a few pictures of the three of us. (Since it is one of my thirty things on the list. Which, incidentally, I really need to update!) Unfortunately, things were just too busy and too much fun and we never got around to it.
I am not one to despair, however. Nor am I one to let a perfectly good set up go to waste... and so after a quick re-grouping ("re-grouping"... that sounds much better then after "I totally flipped out for no reason at all", no?), we set up the camera to take a picture every 5 seconds, sat it on a tripod, and....
Before we could even get started....

Family portraits?
I think NOT. I do however think they are quite hilarious. Hope you enjoyed them :)
And why is my child not wearing any pants? Good Question!

We're Having a Party...
Actually....we HAD a party. But for some reason that song is stuck in my head... (that...and I could not come up with a better title for this post)
For the second year now, Karl and I (with lots of help from another family on the block) hosted a "street party" in our back yard.
Great fun!
And now I am tired....
Hope everyone is having a great weekend : )
