This and That

The boys on fathers day.


With big sister Lisa.


Andrew decided it would be funny to pack a bunch of toys on his grandfather.



It's been really hot outside lately. Not that i don't mind hot but i hate humidity and it's been VERY humid lately.

So then what have we been up to?

Last Saturday we went downtown to get computer parts, while Don was doing that Andrew and I went to Kensinton Market playground. I forgot my camera tho, actually since having to give back my sister Tammy's super duper SLR canon camera i haven't been really wanting to take pictures lately, i guess i got spoiled. So where was i? Oh ya, our downtown trip. As always it was lots of fun. After Don was finished getting what he needed we headed to Queen St to get their favorite home fries. I on the other hand watched them while they devoured them because i was on a 10 day fast. After they finished that we walk over to Dundas Square because i heard there was some kind of music festival going on but i totally did not expect to see Iggy Pop there. Now that totally freaked me out.. Free and everything. But it was PACKED and VERY loud. So Don took Andrew to a book store and I decided to be stupid and tried to get a close up view. BAD MISTAKE. All i can say is one word, SQUISH. I love Toronto. And i love Iggy Pop.

Sunday was fathers day and Don's parents, Aunt Lydia and Lisa came for a visit. It was a nice visit, his parents bought 2 pizza's from my favorite pizza place so that was really hard and tempting but i didn't have one bite. And i survived. Lisa bought her dad some red wine and a bottle of his favorite rum. He was happy about that. Andrew bought him some pens and a heart shaped posted note.

SO that's about it. Besides the usual of going out to the park and such, not much else to really write about.

OH except for the "big" earth quake he had. I was sitting at my desk and talking to my sister Tammy on the phone and i felt something, i thought that maybe one of the cats were doing something behind my chair but then looked over at the fish tank and the water was moving back and forth, and that's when i knew something wasn't right. Don and Andrew felt it too. Being on the 38th floor of a building kind of makes you have all these thoughts on what could it have been. So we quickly left the building just in case. Once we got downstairs and outside we heard what it had been. Phew.

Toronto is hosting the G8/20 summit this year and that will start today. Quite a bit of the downtown core has been fenced in making it a ghost town. People that work there are working from home. People that live within have to wear a security badge saying that they are residents within the boundry of the summit. It's crazy crazy. I think i might stay away from that. The protesters are out in full force. I wonder if they actually are going to be heard or is it just for publicity... Tomorrow i want to go back to Dundas Square because they are having some sort setup where artist can sell their art, and a live concert. But i first have to find out if there are going to be protesters there cause i don't want to put Andrew in harms way.

So anyhoo, that's about it. Hopefully as the summer moves along i will have more to post about...

Out of the Mouths of Babes

Andrew and Anika are having a sleepover over tonight. They are both watching Super Mario games together. They went and sat on a chair, Andrew put his arms around Anika. I brought it to Don's attention and said he reminds me so much of him. I told Don that is a good thing because i feel he's an awesome man. Andrew speaks up and said i know who else is awesome, i said oh ya? And he looks at Anika and says i'm awesome too right Anika? She said Ya,, and then Andrew looks at her and says you're awesome too Anika, she looks at him and said not as awesome as you are tho. Aweeeee. It was a cute moment. But i think they are all awesome. So how's that for awesomeness?

To be Continued

Sorry. It's to be continued. Please check back by middle of next week for an update. :P

Something BIG is about to Happen Today

Or we hope. Stay tuned. I will post all about it later today.. Can you guess what it is?

Wonderland

Thanks to my wonderful sister Tammy, Andrew and I were able to go to Wonderland for the day. We went with Tammy, my niece Natyya, her friend Melody and Tammy's grandson Austin. It was a perfect day to go too because the weather wasn't too hot nor too cold. No crazy line ups, this time of yr is PERFECT. Natyya and Melody went on the big rides while Tammy and i took the little ones on the small kid rides. They had a blast. I on the other hand received a nasty sunburn on my arms, even after putting sunblock on. (stupid sun)..











My Great Nephew Austin. Isn't he soo cute?






Andrew's first "real" roller coaster, and boy did he ever LOVE it, he wanted to go back on it constantly. This kid is going to be a hard core amusement park thrill seeker.




Andrew in his natural state :P


Thanks so much Tammy, you're an awesome sister! I LOVE you so much.
