play-dough

it's raining today and with the strike still ongoing i thought it'd be fun to make some play-dough with the kids. wow! who knew it was this easy!

too bad it's not that easy to take the colour off your hands!

illuminaries

derek and i took the kids to the 19th annual illuminaries last night. seth LOVED the stilt walkers, and ella the fairies. maybe next year the kids will be old enough to make it to see the fireworks at the end of the night!

here's a few pics from our fun family night out!

it's here!

tonight i took ella and gramma to the release party at vandusen gardens. by the time we found parking and got through the massive line up, we'd missed most of the free stuff, but the band was still playing so that was good. we saw a few people we knew, and then we got our book!

YAY!
