I love the new BBC's kids' show Mister Maker.

He teaches craft projects for kids in a really funny way.

Sienna likes watching him too. ;)

Check out the hedgehog and alien monster made by blowing paint with a straw. The q-tip creatures are cute too. :)

Pictures taken at gr&gr's yesterday. No mommy/Sienna pictures yet. We were too tired to do all the posing stuff and the weather wasn't the nicest. We'll do it another time. No biggy.

The best Mother's Day gift ever: a handmade craft. Exactly what I like! Y

A bonus: Talia had the children do handprints in Nursery. I love this kind of stuff.

This is the second time I'm trying to post this. Something happened the first time and it all disappeared on me. Grrh. Don't feel like writing it all again. We had a lovely Mother's Day. My hair turned out ok (not great but not bad either, just ok). On Friday Sienna, Robin and I danced like crazy with Robin's Shania Twain dvd. Robin was dancing one of the songs in his room and I asked him to come and dance with us. He did his funny Irish dancing stuff (one of the songs feature Irish dancers on the background and it's Robin's favorite I guess). I had to videotape Robin as he was so funny! We had fun dancing and being silly.

Now I need to go and work on the last bit of my "project". I keep procrastinating as this last bit is a pain. Wish me luck again... I need to get this done a.s.a.p.

Ta-daa! Another page for ya. This is my #7. I took the journaling right out of my notebook journal. I used a CK Browser computer program to do the journalettes. www.creatingkeepsakes.com. As usual, click the picture to see it better. The flowers are made out of felt. I didn't spend hours stitching them - bought them. Just so you all know. ;)

Silla voi laittaa tekstia kaikenlaisiin kuvioihin (kukka, ympyra, tahti, perhonen...). Loytyy: www.creatingkeepsakes.com.

Katsottiin Ps. I love you leffa eilen illalla (valvottiin kahteen asti, ollaan me hulluja). Itkua, itkua. Hyva leffa miinus tietty ne tyypilliset jutut joista en valita.

Tanaan menen VIHDOINKIN varjayttamaan hiukset. Jay on ollut niin kiireinen etten ole ennattanyt. Yleensa mulle tulee kampaaja tanne kotiin mutta han oli poissa Edmontonista ja mietin myos etta ihan kiva olisi taas kayda jopa kampaajalla vaihteeksi. Wish me luck. Mulla on ollut niin karseita kokemuksia kampaajien kanssa taalla etta mua pelottaa joka kerta kun hiuksille tehdaan jotain.

***

Seurakunnalla on kiva social tanaan. Pelataan jalkkista ja sitten grillaillaan. Mina olen kampaajalla juuri silloin mutta jos edes syomaan ennattaisi sitten. :) Jay, Sienna ja Robin ainakin paasevat jopa huvittelemaan. Ihan kiva valilla kun on omaa aikaa.

Mommy's highheels are a must. Once again.

Sienna is so funny when we go to our weekly Imagine That class. Every time Miss Karly gives the children something to play with/make music with, Sienna says "my mommy needs one too". So I had tons of fun playing with a hoolahoop yesterday. :)

We went to pick up Robin from the store and then headed to West Edmonton Mall to find some summer shoes. I wanted to get Sienna some Crocs but what do you know... You see them everywhere when you're not buying them and then when you are - they're nowhere to be found. All kinds for adults but I couldn't find any for kids. I'm sure eventually I would have had but we ran out of time. Robin got black ones and he was so excited about them. Robin goes through color periods. Right now the color is black. Everything has to be black. Black jeans, black shoes, black shirts, black leather jacket (even when it's warm out, one day he wore it under his winter jacket, I think it was +18C that day!!! Don't ask... That's just how it is with Robin sometimes. :-D)... I keep telling him black's not the best color for summer but... Had to buy some more summer clothes for Sienna as well. How can you resist cute kids' clothes? I need to do an inventory of her clothes. I shouldn't buy too much as last summer she didn't even wear all her summer stuff. She grows so quickly.

I wanted to get out today and do some stuff but turns out Sienna has 37.6C fever so I think we might have to have a mellow day at home. I guess I should do the finishing stuff of my scrapbooking project. The last bit is kind of pain in the butt so I have to do my best not to procrastinate with it.

smile!

This is the face we got when we'd say "smile" to Sienna. :D

A sneek peek to my "secret scrapbooking project". This is the page #4. The fourth official sized scrapbook layout I've ever done. Since I started scrapbooking (on April 8, 2008) I've done 20 pages! I've had so much fun. I still don't want to tell you what this project is as I still need to do some finishing stuff. I'm keeping this a secret because I'm trying to accomplish a goal and I find that if I tell someone about a goal, I tend to not accomplish it. I find it fun to work on something that only Jay knows about. Gives me that "I'll surprise everyone" energy. So please be patient a bit longer. :) Maybe I'm just imagining that someone is even interested in this secret project. For all I know you all might be thinking "who cares". Well, you are going to hear about it anyways. :D
