February 2013 Gratitude Journal

I am finally getting caught up with my gratitude journal photos. Here are a few from waaay back in February – the month my beloved Spy Cam was replaced by an iPhone. As you can see, it’s a slightly new “format” for the journal – now, with larger images! (I tried the “gallery post” option, but the images were 480×640 thumbnails, which didn’t work well with the square crops… so I decided on a “standard post” instead…)

Playing at the park one sunny day with Monkeyboy Junior Jr.

A little spring cleaning – starting with the windows. I am surprised at what a difference it makes!

Another fun night with the crafty ladies.

A decadent night of wine and cheese. Sadly, it was followed by a wine and cheese hangover. 😉

Some other crafty ladies made aprons using my DIY instructions. How cool is that? SO glad they shared!

Sometimes, it’s the little things. Like colourful flowers during a cold and grey winter.

I made some love-ly pancakes for the boys on Valentine’s Day.

A silly afternoon at the pet store during Teacher’s Convention. The parrot’s name was velcro, and he was SO charming.

Monkeyboy Junior gets all rockstar with his homework assignment – crafting an instrument, which he calls the “boxilali”.

Playing around with the new iPhone… and the old teapot.

Window shopping at Chinook Mall one lazy Friday night.

Building Duplo rocket ships with MBJJ. My first design was rejected and smashed, as it didn’t have anywhere to put the astronauts. 😉

Stopping for a moment to just enjoy the fleeting sunset.

Crab! I swear, I must be part mermaid with my love of seafood.

I happened upon some $3 “Perry The Platypus” hats that the boys insisted we get. They’ve provided hours of fun and goofiness.

Ahhhh. That feels better. Lately, I’ve been feeling a little bit blue, and I truly think that part of it’s because I haven’t had my gratitude journal upstairs, by my bedside, where I can write in it and look at it every night before I fall asleep. Now that I’m getting caught up, it will be nice to get back into that routine. Yay!
