...and a month flys by!

Sheesh, nothing for the month of June. You would think I wasn't up to anything. Here is a sampling of what we were up to.

Bought a kiddie pool. What a pain too. Too small for chlorine, too big to dump all the time. Not the smartest purchase ever...but the kids *LOVE* it.



Cleaned up the yard. Last Fall we took out an over grown tree and last month I tackled some neglected garden beds. Cleaned up the rose bush. Added some annuals. Planted a bunch of tomatoes, peppers, and a raspberry bush and strawberry plant.



Got ready for...attended...and celebrated Izzy's dance recital. She had a blast! I have more to tell about the event but am waiting for the video to post at the same time.



Took a day trip to Black Creek Pioneer Village with our home school friends.



Rob took a week off and we took him to see the Stingrays at the Toronto Zoo. The kids and I saw them the year before without Rob.



Bought daddy Guitar Hero for the Wii. Turns out everyone but Rob really sucks at it. Still, the guitar-mote is very cool.



Cooking and baking up a a storm! Hard not to be inspired by goodies like fresh strawberries and rhubarb from the farmer's market. This became the first cobbler of the season. So yummy!!



Add in a trip to Splash Island, loads of play time with friends just out of school and some math work on the side and you have a pretty good idea of what June looked like for us,

Funny enough, this was the modified schedule of activities. I hurt my knee and had to cancel a trip to London with friends. We tried to slow down a bit last month. Almost succeeded too, lol.
