Questioning Sparrow Morals

Just thought that I would share some random thoughts from a fabulous Saturday with the family.

1) I am slightly concerned about the moral values of the house sparrow taking up residence in our bird house. He came around house hunting with a little lady.

Today while the lady was out gathering goods for their nest I saw him fluffing feathers at a lady bird. Now it's possible that this was the same lady bird however if they have already found a house shouldn't they be past the feather fluffing stage in their relationship? Just sayin'.

2) I just looked at pinterest and now I want cream puffs.

3) I love picnics in the park. I wish I had a picture of the one we took today. An unfortunate incident involving a misunderstanding about the state of the security device of the door, resulted in my camera being left at home, along with my keys.

Aside from that we had a wonderful time at the park. The kids played, I laid in the shade. Then my Beloved took the kids on a treasure hike so I could continue lying in the shade reading a book.

4) On Friday, my girls new swimsuits came in the mail. They picked the same suit for this year.

The exclamations from Beloise were priceless, and included sayings such as:

"This is AWE-some!",

"OH, it's perfect!"

and

"I just LOVE it!

Beloise is particular about her swimsuits. I had a hand-me-down princess swimsuit for her, however after being spoiled with a Gymboree swimsuit last year she refused the most likely Target purchased princess suit.

To her credit the swimsuits at Gymboree are fuller in the bum and have a reinforced layer in that region. I probably wouldn't have noticed the differences if she hadn't complained. Plus they were on sale!

I hope that your Saturday was as thought provoking as mine.

~And So That's What She Did

Picnic / Belly Photos

The other day the weather looked decent and I was dying to use my picnic basket again. So we decided to take our lunch down to the water front in Vancouver and have a little picnic followed by a nice walk along the water.



While something came up and took too long and the weather report said it would start to rain and the clouds rolled in so I thought let's picnic on the back porch instead. And so that's what we did ;o). Of course the rain never came and the sun came back out but by then we were too committed to change plans. So after our lunch of macaroni and cheese, BLT or ELT's(hard boiled eggs, lettuce and tomato. . . I ran out of bacon), and Weinhard's root beer (pregnancy craving, I normally HATE root beer) we walked around our yard. Which my husband has made into a wonderful place to spend time. He is always hatching new ideas of how to make it even more beautiful and useful. I will have to show you the fire pit sometime.

He also took a few pictures of my basketball of a belly before it is gone by this weekend . . . wishful thinking? We'll see.
