Some Fun Through June

We’ve had a good share of severe weather here in Saskatchewan already this season. This is good news for my family because we LOVE storms 🙂 We love to get out on the back roads and watch how the storm develops and changes. Many times I’m stuck indoors at work and can’t get out to really appreciate the weather. On those days, I rely on my husband to send me photos. His office is his truck and he’s out on the back roads all day.

We’ve been trying to get out to the lake more this year too. I just can’t believe how fast the kids are growing up! Soon they will be busy with their own things and won’t be out there as much. I’m trying to enjoy as much of this time as I can. B has already turned 13 and has been working casually with a company who bought a building in town and is turning it into a tech college. He’s also getting into woodworking and is hoping to make wood crafts to sell.

K is now 11 and she keeps herself busy with friends, aerial silks, beading and making bracelets. A large chunk of the money she earns from her bracelets goes towards different non-profits. Last year, she donated $60 to the local food bank from the sales of her bracelets.

R is about to turn 8. He’s full of energy and spunk and is quite possibly going to be reason my hair finally goes grey! He loves fast cars, action movies, teasing the girls, and ghost stories. He also enjoys fishing, reading and cuddles while watching tv 🙂

They’ve been out with their kayaks, and have already spent countless hours at the beach. I feel very blessed to have this time with them. I have also been able to spend time doing our weekly meal planning while soaking up the sun 🙂

All this summertime fun has meant that I needed to sacrifice my garden this year. It just didn’t happen with everything going on and my extra hours at work. I DID buy myself a hanging basket for the side of my house for my birthday though!

Anyway, we just got hit with a doozy of a storm here so I’m going to go make sure my windows are closed. Have a beautiful day everyone and HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!!
