long weekend

lets see, we started the long weekend with a bang...well shopie did as she found great pleasure being pushed around by her friend tim in her garbage pail.

over the past year we have set aside every (almost) wednesday night and as of late thursday night to enjoy dinner with two dear friends of ours. werdal wednesdays, as they were called, were shared eating food, playing games or watching our favorite shows on tv with tim and c-a. so many good times. unfortunately they are coming to an end as people move and lives carry on. so as one last dinner date was approaching, we decided to hit white rock on friday night (i know it wasn't wednesday or thursday, lets just say that we also had dinner together many other days of the week) for fish and chips and a walk along the dock. then ended with a litte DQ action and a movie. and this was the start of the long weekend.

saturday, scott and i took sophie to cultus lake for the afternoon. as if the water wasn't cold. are you serious. scott and i both admitted to having headaches in our feet...but not sophie. are you kidding me, this kid would not stay out of the water. finally when the shaking and teeth chattering started, we removed her and got her changed to play some more. i can't believe how much this girl enjoyed the water and rocks.

out of the water for a bit to play in the shade and warm clothes. (not too happy about that)

back the waters edge...very serious player

time to get changed and go home.

sunday and monday i worked, but we still enjoyed picnics and walks both days.
what more can i say, pretty good weekend if you ask me.

then the rains came and we were back inside for a bit. rainy day activities this week looked like helping vacuum and picking flowers for me with daddy....well the flowers were supposed to be for me, at least that is what i was told.

riding the vacuum (i know this is the same vacuum that all your moms used too...one day i will get a newer one) and talking on one of her many "phones"

flowers for mom...they smell good

and now...back the usual, and looking forward to holidays in june. yeah.

OMG... I'm in the SFU library and had to shove my fist in my mouth to keep from bursting out in laughter... you cuaght some hilarious photos of Sophie... I just might load them onto my computer and print them out.

And DON'T get rid of the old school vacuum. IT'S PERFECT! How is a kid supposed to ride on a bagless? I found a sweet 70's blow dryer at Grandma's and use it all the time!

(I'm still trying to stop laughing at the thought of the flower pic!)
