my latest piece

i finally finished! my friend, kaaren, asked me to do a painting for her living room waaaaay back in late winter/early spring. i got the idea for it right away, but somehow never really found the time to put my brush to the canvas.

i know, it's weird, but it turned out pretty good, i think.

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!
