Yesterday With Miss V......

The visit yesterday started early...7:30 am...a whole day with us!!
First thing on the agenda...after my shower...was...
To make her Papa a Birthday card...which is today!!
She painted a coffee mug for him...which he loved!! 






After a teaparty...

And some play doh work...

We all headed out to Walmart, to return that crappy iron I had bought a few weeks back...

She discovered her Mom's Teletubby in the closet in her room...

"Why does he have a pickle on his head Papa?" 

Doesnt she look smart in her sweater, cowl and Poppy...I used a stud earring to keep it on for her...she was thrilled to have one just like us and all the other people!
We all went to Swiss Chalet for lunch...
And then home for 1/2 hour of Bubble Guppies..
And then a story and her nap...





After the nap...

Some banana bread...berries and yogurt...

And then....

BIKE RIDE!!!!

"Aren't you coming Nana?"

I stayed behind to vacuum...

Lucky me!!

When they returned...

She grabbed her rake from the garage...

And got busy on those leaves!

Such technique she has...

Always wants to help with everything!!

I LOVE IT!!











"Papa...I think Nana's forest needs to be raked too...ok?"

OK!! 

Darn pine needles!!







"Can we go in the back, and go swimming?"

"no...sorry dollface...
Not til next summer"









As her mom came up the street to pick her up...

She ran and hid behind a tree...

"Shhhh Nana...I am hiding!"

I think she can see you!!

Hahahahahaha! 




Even the faces in the garden, got a laugh out of that!!

What a day!!!

Til next time Miss V ♥️♥️♥️


Hope you are all having a great day...

Cloudy...dark...damp...wet...WINDY here.....

The cottage is experiencing 100km/hr winds...geesh...

How does the old girl stand up to it??

So...as today is my boyfriends birthday...{happy birthday boyfriend}

I am making him some Mussels for dinner...

One of his favorites!!

Hope it is not too bad weather wise where you are...

We are taking a drive to the cottage tomorrow...

Will decide whether to stay or not, when we get there!!

New porch winter shutters are being installed this weekend...

Need to keep the old girl safe...I will take a picture!

The old ones were in really rough shape...time for some new ones!!

Enjoy the rest of your day...

                       Cheers!  :o)

  2. Happy birthday to the boyfriend. Enjoy your special meal.
    Miss V sure had lots of fun and looks adorable in her sweater and cowl.
    Chill and rainy today, went out for brunch to a new restaurant, not bad but doesn't compare to a couple of our favourites, but we will go back another time.
    Went thrift store shopping, got some cute birdhouses, and some Christmas things. Been in the decorating mood since the last big Craft show we went too, but it's still too early. Hopefully I'll still be in the mood when December rolls around as I have my second cataract surgery on Dec. 1

  3. How has she grown so big so fast? I swear she changes weekly. She looks so sweet in her cowl and sweater. And the expressions! :) "Happy Birthday" to your boyfriend. A favorite meal with his favorite gal sounds like a great way to celebrate. And chocolate...everyone should have some chocolate on their day. Sending a hug, Deb

  12. Wow, that little cutie is really growing fast. What a busy full day with Nana and Papa. I drove 100 km. back and forth to my big grandkids today, Rainy, windy drive, but I needed some family time! :) Nice that you made the BF his favourite dinner for his special day. Enjoy the cottage, supposed to be lovely here on Sunday.

  13. Miss V is at a very active age---I don't know how you keep up with her but I admire your zest for fun, activities and overall joy in being with each other. You are creating wonderful memories for her and having the time of your lives enjoying her. She looks so smashing in that outfit, I want the very same...so stylish!

    Happy Birthday to your boyfriend. I think he;s quite handsome! I hope you enjoyed your scrumptious dinner.

    Cold and very windy here all last night and today. A very glum day with the head aching and sorry to say...more issues as I emailed you about. I have reached out to see the little one more---it's become a stressful subject and quite confusing. Believe me, we have made every effort. I envy you and I pray this gets resolved. I appreciated your thoughts, Linda.

  14. Little Miss V is certainly growing tall, and she looks gorgeous in that sweater. She has mastered the essential Canadian technique of leaf raking already - what a help that will be! And I must add, I am quite partial to Bubble Guppies myself :))

    1. Hi there Blue!
      So good to see you!
      Yes...I did...but, in my defence, they were only gone about 20 minutes!
      Just enough time to do a bit of tidying up..and then join them outside...
      How are you doing? Must do some visiting.....tomorrow!
