Competition

In our house the word 'competition' is synonymous with 'dance.'  This is the garment rack of this year's costumes that we roll out for competitions and recitals.

Ok - competition was way harder thn i thought it would be.  Tons of opportunities but in a picture kind of hard to see.  So - here is a race to the finish line - it doesn't really grasp what i saw but alas it is what i ended up with!   good theme!

Competition

My friend told me about these two pizza restaurants a few weeks ago. They're near the University of Toronto and pizza-loving students there always have a preference for one or the other, words and expletives flying over which is best. Either way, bit of friendly competition ensures the students get a good slice at a decent price!

Guess what I did today?... gained two balls while trying to find mine in the long weeds.

Guess who didn't win this competition?!

Went to the Scottish Highland Games and Gathering of the Clans and watched some of their competitions.  The bagpipes were lovely to listen to, and the caber toss was fun to watch, but my favorite was the sheep dog trials.  Those dogs are amazing!

Family. Just spent one of the best weeks with mine in Nantucket. Took this of the whole crew (minus babies) on our last night at dinner. Sad to leave everyone but such great memories of a wonderful week.

F is for...

James and I had to post a second photo this week.  "F" is for food which this bear was rumaging through our trash cans for.  "F" is for frightening which decribes the bear running through the woods after James had the idea of pushing the panic button on our car.  "Frightening" also describes how we felt, since the bear was right outside the door to the house!

F is for...

James' idea for this week:  "f" is for football, one of America's pastimes.  "F" is for fleur-de-lis.  Luke, James' twin brother claimed he was a Saints' fan, but we know it was only because he loved the fleur-de-lis which is the Saints' logo.  (Luke even picked out a fleur-de-lis door stop for his bedroom.  Amazing taste for a 12 year old boy!!)  We miss you Luka!  xoxoxoxo
