A few pictures from Mother’s Day!

This one I call – ‘Tread Softly and Carry a Big Stick’.

Sam doesn’t quite have the same diplomacy policy as his sister.

I call this one – ‘Wee Warrior’. Strangely enough that is a pelvis from a horse skeleton around his neck, and a rib in his hand. While the girls were happy to peer at the bones and nudge them with their feet; Sam felt a need to wear them. He asked if he could, “wear them to school”. “YA Right SAM!” He’s not quite as evolved as I’d hoped.

I spent Mother’s Day at ‘my’ Grandma’s farm, with my parents, aunt and uncles. After a great dinner, we all took a walk. It was a chilly spring day. It won’t be long now until summer (see the buds just coming out on the trees). I took a whole slew of pictures. Speaking of slough(s) ...

This shot of the slough and the tree I call – ‘Still Water’. I agree I’m not that creative … can you think of a better name?

Finally, my favourite …

A family portrait. I can’t think of a name for this one. Help me out!

Now that Sam isn’t just ‘BIG hair’ with legs, I am enjoying seeing just his face again. I love his smile! When he smiles his whole face smiles, and especially his eyes.

SEE!

Mr. MK’s getting sick of me saying, “just look at that cute face, I forgot about that cute face!”—> so, I am telling you instead.

Stop that! I can hear you groaning …

Imagine it’s 20 degrees below ZERO.

Imagine how cold that is. (Those of you living this, don’t waste your energy imagining. You live with the horror, just bear with me.)

Imagine how TERRIBLE your life would be if your parents made you wear mittens!

OH THE HORROR!

Imagine if (like me) you had to deal with this 2-3 times a day!

What sends your kids into a melt-down?
