[Thrifting & Fun]


[photo by Leigh-Ann]
We spent the afternoon with Leigh-Ann, on Friday. She was so nice to take some photos of me and my kiddos. I haven't 'been in' pictures very often lately, I'm usually the one taking them so it was such a treat!! She's a natural photographer and made me feel very comfortable in front of the camera. I can't wait to see some of the other photos. :)

We drove to Winnipeg and met LA at Starbucks. Delilah saved her a seat..
She took me to a great thrift store, for treasure hunting, and I had a blast! Normally I'm not very good at thrift store shopping, but I got a few awesome finds this time! This is the prettiest pot I've ever seen.
I was drawn to the color of these canisters, and I love that I got the entire set, for $3!
LA and I split a cute avocado green set of melamine cups and saucers.
I found Simon an Eric Carle game, and a school desk too! He was a trooper, shopping with us. He found a toy lawn mower thing that was ridiculously noisy so he was kept occupied, and I always knew where he was, ha! It was an adventure, and I enjoyed myself.

After thrifting, we went to a nice park for playground time and photos. Here's one that I snapped of my little Fawn.

This weekend is Morden's Annual Corn & Apple Festival! It's always fun to watch the parade on Saturday morning. Simon likes watching it with his cousins, and Auntie Jackie. He collects candy, and enjoys seeing all the different floats. This year was a bit of a rainy time, and not everyone enjoyed it... (lol)
Hoping that tomorrow is less rainy so we can take Simon for rides, and get mini donuts. :)

I'll leave you with a sneak peek at one of the details for Delilah's nursery.
Happy Weekend! {XO}
