Happy, Happy Fathers Day!

 

 

 

 

Joseph and the girls began his Day playing World of Warcraft, which was followed by a super yummy eggs and ham brunch (thank you, chickens!) and a few games of Don't Fall Off the Boat (a game the three of them created whereby Joseph tries to get the girls out of our bed. This is a lot more difficult than it sounds, especially when they're both jumping on you at the same time :)).

As our day came to a close, the sun decided to come out and we were able to take Joseph both golfing and out for dinner.

I'm not sure who enjoyed their day more, the kids or Joe, but here's to an incredible Dad and the really amazing bond he shares with his daughters! Our girls really look up to you love!

Waterloo Mini Maker Faire | Downtown Kitchener Event

We had an absolutely amazing afternoon at the Waterloo Mini Maker Faire in Downtown Kitchener yesterday! The girls had a great time learning to solder (Annie soldered her little Maker's Faire pin), watched a 3D printer in action, used a micro lens to look at hair follicles, a scrape on Madeleine's knee and the make up of paper and clothing, and took in countless other Makers showcasing things they've made or demonstrating various gadgets. I'm really hoping this becomes an annual event as we're so excited to go again! 

Happy Fathers Day to the makers in your family! We really wanted to take Joseph golfing today but the rain is keeping us indoors. We're thinking about hitting up a few hardware stores, however, and the girls have been so inspired by yesterdays Maker's Faire that I think we're going to spend the afternoon creating!

Fortune Tellers | Before-bed Craft

There's nothing like a fun and simple paper craft before bed!  The girls and I followed the fortune teller  folding steps from the {Paper Fortune Teller} excerpt from Wikipedia.  For a little extra geek-out, I've provided a link to images of the "cootie catcher" used in the opening for Community.

Also!  Kind of a fun fact: turn your paper fortune teller upside down (point-side down) and place food in its quadrants.  Paper fortune tellers are called "Salt Cellars" when used this way.  Encarta it ;)).

Photographer Re-Charge | Dinner with Friends

There really is nothing like getting out of the house and spending a few hours with close friends {and food}!  This is how I spent my Friday evening and it's just what I needed after a busy week.

Oh these two are so precious!  I've been lucky enough to capture them several times and am excited to provide their equally lovely Mum with some images for Mother's Day!
