Happy Father's Day
On the eve of Father's Day, I often think about the Dads in my life - My own Dad, who has been gone from this earth for 10 years ( already !! it just seems like yesterday that we lost you <3 ) And of course my sweet husband, the Daddy to our team of amazing kids. We have learned so much together, how to be parents, how to be "mates"...we are still learning, how to give and take, how to work together, how to share this journey.
I love you so much, honey - Happy Father's Day !!
Many blessings to all the Dads out there - to the SuperDads, Dads to be, Dads to angels, Dads to other men's kids, Grand-Dads, Dads who wish they could be Dads, all of you - thank you for how much you have to give, for being the men our children need, and for being willing to learn how to be even better Dads... You are celebrated on Father's Day and always !
Hugs,
Mama

Today Was a Good Day to Walk Away
Today, I walked away from cutting wipes, away from my untidy kitchen, away from the pile of laundry on the table waiting to be folded, away from the computer ( *gasp* !!! ) and played outside with my kids ( well, the 2 that weren't in school ).
We played baseball, kicked the soccer ball, watched out for dog poop, and dug in the dirt....a LOT !! I found my husband's gorgeous and soft leather work gloves ( seeing as I can't find any gardening gloves big enough to fit my "man hands" - the joy of having really long fingers lol ) and pulled weeds. Together we managed to completely de-weed one of our corner flower beds, and it looks amazing.
Now, if only I could find enough steam to de-weed all the other even bigger flower beds... but I am thrilled we got that done. Best part, it felt SO good to do it :) The kids were happy, I was happy and we had fun together finding shiny blackish-purple beetles that scurried all over my hand, enormous dirt-covered worms, cool to the touch, wriggling white grubs, deep in the dirt waiting to be "born".
Thank God for creating such beauty, even in small things.
Happy Gardening,
Mama

Happy Camper
Our amazing girl and her Grade 5 classmates had a phenomenal time at camp. Although it was only 2 nights long, they managed to cram in so many activities...canoeing, survivor-style shelter building, making emergency whistles, "hobo" stoves, making cupcakes in their "ovens" in hollowed out orange skins, learning to make fire with lint and flint, mini fires in tuna cans...and don't forget the late-night hike, the "Mission Impossible" game and Capture the Flag...the campfire that Daddy and I got to go to last night, where the kids got to perform dramas, cheers and songs for us all....
She came home exhausted, happy, and full of stories and memories <3
Thank you to Auntie for going with her, to the TA's that were there with her and her special needs classmates, to her friends for including her in EVERYTHING, to the camp staff for being amazing and to God for giving us this incredible child.
My heart is full <3

Mama is Sleepy, Mama is Happy
Getting the last few things tidied up, double and triple-checking the list...in the morning our oldest daughter goes to CAMP !! It is the big "do" that all the Grade 5s get to participate in, the last "hurrah" before Middle School. It is even more special because this year, all 4 of the special needs students ( my daughter included ) who are in Grade 5 are attending, along with all of the "typical" Grade 5s.
This is a BIG deal and I am beyond proud. She has helped me pack, reminded me of things ( over and over and over ) and has talked about "Grade 5 Camp" since she found out about it earlier in the school year. My amazing sister is able to go with her, which makes it even more exciting, and not so scary for Mama ( I know my girl will be just fine, it's Mama that needs the reassurance lol )
If you pray, please send up a quick one for good weather, for peaceful campers and patient adults, and for a whole lot of fun and memories for everyone.
Thanks for reading,
Mama
