Everday Beauty - Week 36 - School
School is in session! This week meant the beginning of the new school year and as you can see in image #2, there were two different thoughts on this whole routine. :) It was a tiring week, but everyone made it through to the weekend. The very wet weekend. I guess it was just giving us the first taste of fall so we remember what is ahead.
I jumped back into the running game and ran a 10km race on Saturday. It was a little wet for the start but it cleared and we had a really fun run. I think this has kick started me back into really running (I have been faking it for the last few years) and my girlfriend and I have registered for our next run. Hooray!
And, it's official, I forgot to take a picture Wednesday. I was pretty bummed to discover my 365 will only be a 364 but at the same time, I am pretty impressed that that is the only one that is missing so far.

Everyday Beauty-Week 35- Last days
This is it, the last week of summer fun. Back to school seemed to come up fast, but I think we made the most of our summer vacation.
This week was the CNE and we lucked out with a very hazy day that kept the heat at bay for most of the day. The girls had a great time and even won some fabulous prizes at the games.
We had a silly string fight, so funny, especially when not all participants could shoot the spray. :) We even tried out a bit of fake snow as a little test for Christmas Mini Sessions. It was a hit and I think we have found our snow!
We spent the last couple of days on the water and got our mind around another school year.
Goodbye summer, it was a blast!

Everyday Beauty-Week 34-Pioneer
We had a full week this week and the perfect weather, not too hot, not too cold. We hit a few favourite spots and someone lost a tooth!
There were two highlights this week I think. The first one was visiting Black Creek Pioneer Village. Someone loves everything pioneer and even wore her bonnet on our trip. We spent tons of time exploring all the buildings and learning everything we could about being a pioneer. I have a feeling this will make it back on the summer fun list for next year.
The other highlight was Centreville Island. It was the perfect day and the girls had tons of fun! I love that place and it is just geared perfectly towards smaller kids and those who aren't big on large and fast rides. One Daddy and one girl hit the teacups and some crazy spinning did make the little one look like she might be sick but she made it. :)
My oldest was back on her horse this week with a full audience. She did great and I think Nana and Papa were pretty excited to see her ride.
Now we start the last official week of summer. Boo.

Everyday Beauty-Week 33-More Summer Fun
We had a busy week knocking a few more things off of our Summer Fun List. We made a trip to a splash pad and then had some ice cream to start off our Monday. We also made some homemade croissants from scratch that may or may not have set off the smoke alarm. Made some mental notes to adjust the baking instructions and we should be good for next time.
We also hit Reptilia, a favourite spot to observe a whole lot of snakes.
The girls started making their own books by taking pictures of their toys and turning them into a story. This was inspired by a camp my oldest attended. They had a lot of fun doing it and I think it totally counts as school work.
We rounded out the week mining for gold and having some pancakes. Can't wait for the fun that will ensue next week.

Yum.

Everyday Beauty - Week 32 - Dryer
It was a very random week with some very random photos. We did some fun summer things, like a trip to Legoland, a mask making camp for the girls and some regular old outside play. We also got a new dryer delivered, whoo hoo, and baked zucchini bread with the biggest zucchini on the planet. After baking a very large loaf of bread, there are still 6 cups of grated zucchini in the freezer for future baking and cooking.
We also have a crazy big vine-like plant growing in our yard. My husband thinks it's cucumber, I do not. We have a cucumber plant and those stems are prickly! It could be pumpkins, oh I hope, I hope, or it could be a whole whack of zucchini. Oy, I shall be freezing so much more of it and I don't even like zucchini! Anyway....
