Family Friday


~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~


Sunday dawned rainy and grey.

It was the perfect day for lazing 'round the house and not doing much of anything at all.

I've been walking around Beacon hill before I head home from work.

It's so pretty to see all the brownstones dressed up for Halloween.

The landlord came up and replaced the balusters on our porch.

They were getting rather old and were actually blowing like a curtain in the breeze.

Over the weekend I will put the chairs back out there 

with a blanket or two thrown over them.

I'll be carving our giant pumpkin to light up out there as well.

I took a day off of work for a Verne and Hopie day!

We went to lunch...He may only be 2 but he can put away some chicken nuggets!



We also went to a few different shops where we saw Christmas

and toy carrier trucks.

When I called my daughter the next day to tell her how much fun I had

she said that Verne was still talking about it the next day.

He had fun as well!

We will be planning another Verne and Hopie day very soon.



Don't forget to add your family Friday post to my linky below.

    Loving those yellow curtains and your lamp! What a cozy setting, I could curl up in that chair for a whole day. Your day with Verne sounds delightful. It's always an adventure seeing life with a two year old:)

    What a fun day with Verne! Sometimes a lazy day around the house is wonderful.

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you

Abby and Hopie time

  ~ ~ ~ Abby and Hopie go to the beach. On Saturday my granddaughter, Abigail, asked if she could come to her Hopie's house all by herself. Of course, I said I would love that! Her older brother, Verne, wanted to go to a friend's house and her younger sister, Natalie, is too young to be away from mum for an overnighter. So...it was me and Abigail for the weekend. She wanted to stay 2 nights! I think she may have been slightly motivated by the need for some alone time and Natalie's late night crying. ~ We cooked homemade cornmeal waffles together for breakfast. When your grandmother is a Montessori teacher you learn to cut your waffles up by yourself. You can see the concentration on her face.  I didn't help at all! Verne's first day of Kindergarten! I drove up in the morning to watch him get on the bus! He loves it! On Monday morning Abigail and I drove back up to her house. My daughter, Hannah, came over with delicious donuts and Bonnie made a breakfast of bacon, s

First Snow

Image
  Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so.... SNOW DAY!!  I made my own hummus last weekend. It was delicious. I added a little bit of turmeric along with the chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic.  I plan on eating a more plant based diet this year. It's only been a week and I'm already feeling better. I did eat two slices of mushroom pizza last night and ended up having heartburn so it will be a good long time before I eat dairy again.  Each month one of our families brings in a bouquet of flowers.  We cut most of the stems off and place them on a tray which we place on the children's table.  We place another tray with a very small pitcher and a few very small bud vases.  The child fills up the pitcher using water from the bathroom sink, brings it back to the table and pours the water in a bud vase of their choosing.

a basket from the farmer's market

  A basket from the farmer's market. When I was a child my mum always had a fruit basket on the kitchen table.  Fruit was always an option if we were hungry at any time during the day. I had the same when my children were young and I noticed while visiting my daughter last week that she had a basket of apples on her table for her children. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I tend to put a basket of vegetables on the table as well.  Root veggies mostly since they don't need to be refrigerated.  I think that they look beautiful and why should fruit have all the fun! My favourite part is that everything (even the basket) came from the local farmer's market. It's so important to support local farmers.
