Productive Day (151/365)

I took the day off to do things with Hubby around the house. We managed to be extremely productive. One of the things we finally got accomplished is setting up this swing set that our neighbours recently gave us. Petite was happy to try it out when she got home from daycare!

Another Year Goes By (149/365)

Today was my birthday. I turned 42. Though in all honesty, I don't recall getting to be 42. Where did those years go? 

I spent my birthday alone. Hubby had to work. I had to work. Petite was at daycare. It was a Monday. Ho hum. A few people at work wished me Happy Birthday, which was nice. 

Truthfully though, I was a little disappointed. I don't expect all the fanfare of course. Not at all.

But Hubby actually forgot my birthday, until much later in the day when he texted me an apology and left a message on my phone at work. Yes, I had an e-mail or two. And yes, thanks to Facebook, I had 70-something of my friends post a quick birthday wish. That was nice. I was taking care of Petite tonight so I didn't really even have time to talk to the family members that called. The couple I took time to speak with meant that our routine was delayed; Petite never got IN the bath until after 8:00!!! That just doesn't bode well for tomorrow.

Anyway, it is what it is. Another day gone by. Another year gone by. Another year older.

And still so many things left undone...

Childhood Fun (148/365)

She squealed with delight.

I love that sound. 

Blooming (147/365)

I love the colours. So bright. So full. So gorgeous.

New Cat? (146/365)

We have no idea who owns this cat. But he comes to visit frequently and sun on our back deck.

Pure Joy (144/365)

My Crown (143/365)

After her snack, she plopped the empty bowl on her head and declared, "Mommy, my crown!"

Co-Sleeping Ain't All it's Cracked Up to Be (142/365)

When we travel, usually Hubby or I sleep with Petite. And usually, this is how it ends up...

Too Close! (141/365)

Why is it when kids want to watch TV, they sit soooo close?! Seriously. It's all I can do to keep reminding her to "Move back!" Eeesh.

Taking a Break at Toronto Zoo (140/365)

For all the photos of the day at the zoo and a few of the birthday BBQ we attended, check out my other blog at The Hardest Quest.

Sunset; a Long Weekend Begins (139/365)

Dandelions ARE Fun! (138/365)

She loves to pick the dandelions and instead of blowing them, she shakes them vigorously to let the seeds scatter in the wind. She always follows it with a giggle and a grin. It's so cute.

Stickers (137/365)

I looked down under my table today, and found this... 

Following the line of stickers, I looked up under the table on the wall, and found this in a very obscure spot. 

Little devil. 

Tulips Revisited (136/365)

In full bloom now, they're a lovely bright spot at the entrance to the building.

Mother's Day Flowers (134/365)

Again, it's Hubby's day to work. Although I did get a card from him and a few things from Petite as well. And she helped Daddy make breakfast for me this morning. 

After Hubby went to work, Petite and I went to my girlfriend's house for supper; just the two moms and the two daughters (albeit one is 14 years old, the other is two and a half!). 

Anyway, we went out for a walk around the community gardens. Petite insisted she give me flowers at every turn. 

Happy Mother's Day Petite. Mommy loves you. 

At Play (133/365)

Hubby was working this weekend, leaving Petite and me to our own devices. It was a bit windy, but I took her up to the park for an hour and a half to run around. She had loads of fun.

And so did I!
