cole and i rode our bike yesterday from morning 'till night, with a few stops back at home for naps, naturally... we rode over to the granville island market for some fruit & veggies, an impromptu and not-very-good magic show, some bread samples and a macaron and a stop at the water park. while i was paying for our apples and peaches at our
favourite okanagan fruit stand, i put squirmy mcwherearethecrackers (aka cole) down for a second and he dug right in to the bins of plums at ground level. i kind of turned a blind eye since he'd already chowed down - hey, eat those plums kid! i did however buy a bag of plums after i'd finished paying for the other stuff...
when we went to the playground/waterpark for fun afterwards i introduced cole to the amazing world of macarons! oh, bestill my heart - the boy loves lemon.
and on the subject of delicious things... i couldn't resist the lure of the back-to-school supplies while shopping at the drugstore the other day... nerdy nerd that i was (and am!) i used to look forward to school supplies shopping like nobody's business. "good thing" our public school system has no money - i'm sure there will be no shortage of school supplies shopping for cole someday... in the meantime, we settled on a package of jumbo markers, which i brought out while making dinner yesterday. yay - high intensity colour. non toxic, check. easily washable, check. delicious?
maybe next time i'll buy mr.sketch. he absolutely
beamed while drawing on his mouth and hands. thankfully the marker did, in fact, wash off very easily.

oh what great fun...and artist in the making!
I'll warn you about mr. sketch....they don't come off quite so easily, but they smell wonderful. Sophie was telling me about her new backpack today, and I told her that I used to think buying school supplies was more fun than Christmas. Must be the fresh start thing..... love the pictures.
thanks for the tip on mr.sketch! they were the toast of my grade school classes. ;-)
fun for sophie - grade one! amazing!! it seems to me just the other day when she was the first of the grandbabies.
