Back to reality

I can not believe that I am sitting here typing this and it is labour day weekend?  Where or where did the summer go?  It was a wonderful summer but it zoomed by so fast I can hardly believe it!  We got home from veranda beach last weekend - that was an amazing week.  It was hard to come back home.  I could have stayed there for another month.  This week has been a little challenging as the kids are bored and they had just spent a whole week with Josh around to help entertain them.. Apparently I am a little disapointing when it comes to entertainment!  The weather has been a little cooler but the sun was out most days this week so we can't really complain.

Today was a little challenging by times.  Leah got a hold of a bottle of nail polish from my bathroom and managed to get the lid off when I wasn't looking.  The she proceeded to paint her arms legs and face - yes face with this lovely shade of burgundy.  Then she dumped the remained out on my cream coloured carpet.  She toddled back into the bathroom and looked at me and said "pitty" her word for Pretty.  I didn't know whether I should laugh, cry or scream.  So I stood there stunned for a second trying to figure out what to do and in what order.  I managed to get most of it off Leah - I left the one toe nail that she had painted!  THen the carpet...........I looked up a few things on google and then I attacked it.  After 2 hours I managed to get most of it out.  Just how I wanted to spend two hours of my day!!

Well we will try and make the most of our 3 day weekend - life is pretty hectic right now as we have a new store opening in Vancouver in 2 weeks.  Josh is run off his feet right now.  Below are some cute pics from veranda beach!!







Here we are at the beach in front of our cabin.  We had just been to church down in Orville and got a rare family shot with everyone in it!
