Project 366 – Day 28: My Guys

My Guys January 28, 2012 Family & Friends

Graham is going to hate that I posted this photo because of the plastered wall in the background, but I’m going to post it anyway because there is something special about a photograph that shows my son, my husband and my dad all playing megablocks together. Back when I went to therapy (who hasn’t gone [...]

Project 366 – Day 27: Dumpster Diving

Dumpster Diving January 27, 2012 Parenting

If I was going to insert a photograph to really represent what today was about, it would feature bottles of Gatorade, and packets of Gravol and Imodium. I thought I’d spare you that image and instead show you something cute that Nate has been doing lately. For a snack he likes this organic peanut butter [...]

Parkwood Estate at Night January 26, 2012 Keeping House

It’s another red sky night here in Durham Region and tonight I was out in Oshawa at a meeting. You might recognize Parkwood Estate from a number of films or television shows, including the recent miniseries, “The Kennedys” or the Adam Sandler comedy, “Billy Madison”.

King Nate January 25, 2012 Parenting

Choosing a photo for today was a no-brainer…as soon as I picked Nate up at daycare I knew I wanted to get some pictures of him wearing his latest daycare creation: this fabulous, jewel-encrusted crown made complete with the scribbles of his own little hands. He was every bit as excited to show this to [...]

Potato Salad Yum January 24, 2012 In the Kitchen

I don’t know what got into me this morning but I decided to make potato salad. Actually my train of thought went something like this: “I think I’ll make good deli sandwiches for Graham for dinner tonight.” “I should get him some potato salad to go with his sandwich.” “But who knows what is in [...]

Project 366 – Day 23: HAIR

HAIR January 23, 2012 Parenting

Tonight after Nate’s bath he let me blow dry his hair and then brush it for awhile while he sat on the bathroom counter and played with my makeup. All of my powder-based products now have a certain little boy’s finger nail dents in them. Oh, well. The brushing was worth it. His hair is [...]

Tonight Nate heard Grampa’s rendition of the Wicked Witch of the West, among others. They had a wonderful time playing together and [...]

Project 366 – Day 21: Nate the Mechanic

Graham's Helper January 21, 2012 Parenting

I took a lot of pictures outside today. We got a fair amount of snow again overnight so the three of us spent some time out in the yard, Nate and I shoveling and playing while Graham took the tire off his truck to investigate a strange sound. As soon as Nate heard that Graham [...]

Project 366 – Day 20: Itching to Grow

Ready to Grow January 20, 2012 In the Garden

We’ve had a substantial amount of snow on the ground for about a day and a half and already I’m chomping at the bit to start some seeds for the garden. I got these peat pellets in the mail a few days ago along with a few packets of seeds. This means that it’s only [...]
