Smoothie gone wrong

Coco and Hazel were enjoying their smoothies at the table then I turned around...

Coco calls this "Hazel's pink princess paint".

Painting project

I made these cool bird moulds in my art class. They are plaster. My 2 little artists had a blast painting them. Hazel got a little over zealous with the paint brush... as usual.

Hazel's leg

Hazel broke her leg. I am not a helicopter parent but I am starting to think I have to pay a bit more attention to Hazel as she climbs around the park which means less time for Lucky. I was throwing the ball for Lucky when the accident happened. Lucky is almost 9 and needs less exercise. Hazel is 2 and climbs everything.

She is doing really well with her cast. And is so cute when she explains to everyone that she "went to the hospital" and "fell at the park".

Last class

I am 2 classes away from finishing my last course at Emily Carr to complete my Certificate in Fine Art Techniques. It is "Materials and Media in Fine Art Practice".

It is a lot of fun as we are doing plastic modelling, wire sculpture, and this other cool moulding with a sea weed material and plaster. Here are a few things so far. Stay posted for more.

Hazel

Today Hazel said "I'm not real mama. Just fake"

Le French

Seems the French are giving the Greeks a run for their money in my neighbourhood. First there was a perfect little pastry shop beside the 7 11, then there was my favourite cafe, Coco et Olive, then there was Simply French on 10th near Classy Kids and now a bakery called something Baguette, opposite the Block Buster on Broadway. Must try that one soon.

We also have a Vietnemese resturant called Gold Train Express. It is on Broadway near the Block Buster. Love it.

We also have a store devoted to all things knitting. That is by the dog washing place on Broadway.

Can you tell, I LOVE BROADWAY!

ORGANISATION

If you are not organised, you can really spend A LOT of time looking for things. ESPECIALLY paper. Then it just becomes a vicious cycle of looking for things instead of using the time to organise things.

All of sudden, I find I am keeping track of classes,RESPs, medical records, etc for 2 children, plus myself, plus 1 house and 1 dog and luckily Bruce can manage his own stuff.

Wish me luck in my on going battle of the paper.
