Feb 7 - More Photos

When the kids were little I used to sell painted and decorated wooden frames at craft fairs. I of course had to use a bunch for my own cute kids. There are some on this wall that the kids decorated over the years - like the colour pasta LOL.

Feb 6 - Date Night :)

Steve and I don't get to go out much together, maybe two to three times a year. We decided to go out this weekend instead of next weekend for Valentine's Day. We went to a cool place known for it's selection of beers (Steve's favourite!). We shared some super tasty appetizers, too. IT was so nice to get out! Of course I tried several times for a photo and I'm still not happy with this one, but it's the best of the lot.

Feb 5 - Hamburger Soup!

Steve was going through our cookbooks recently, looking for recipes that would be fairly easy to make, tasty, and last a couple of meals. He came across this recipe from The Best Of Bridge for Hamburger Soup. When he told me the name I thought it sounded awful - but it is actually SUPER yummy! Now we have it once a week or so.

Feb 4 - Photos of Photos

I love this framed series of photos. I love remembering our wedding, how much we love each other, and how much fun we had. It might be hard to tell, but the bottom photo is our rings in heart shaped organza bags. The boys were our ring bearers, and that's how they carried them - in burgundy organza heart shaped bags. I still have them, of course :)

Feb 3 - More Art

There's some pretty cool stuff going up around the city, as part of what's being called the 'Cultural Olympiad'. This is a collection of lanterns made by children that are hanging downtown. It's kinda cool. I suspect some adults made the ones that are ads for Acer. LOL.

Feb 2 - Vroom

After a fair amount o direction, redirection, cajoling, consequences, and guidance, Lucas got his room relatively clean last week. Which cleared up enough space on his floor for him to build this cool track. So it's kinda messy again, but at least its playable.

Feb 1 - Art

I can't believe it's February and I'm still on track for a photo a day! I am behind on blogging, but the photos were all taken - woot!

More in my 'about the house' photos, today I chose to photograph a painting Jama made for me a couple of years ago. I love how it is simple yet has layers of deep texture. I had this fantasy idea that she might paint me a series of them one day... maybe one day she will.
