Weekend In Review
It was a busy, busy weekend my friends!
It started on Friday, when my son filmed his first commercial!
He spent four hours basically eating popcorn and trying not to look at the camera. When asked what he thought of the experience, he replied “It was kind of boring, actually.” Ah, stardom. 😉
The cool part is that it turns out I knew both the director and the camera “guru” from my school days. Crazy small world, isn’t it?
We decided to celebrate the occasion with a family dinner out at Monkeyboy Junior’s choice – Earl’s.
Which started out fine, with us passing the time waiting for our table by chasing the baby around the empty patio…
… taking pics of the various potted plants…
… and patio details…
… but which ended in tears when it was time to go inside and actually sit down. Poor boy had a bit of a cold and just wasn’t dealing with disappointment very well. Plus, he’s two.
On Saturday, I finally started my Daisychain Sampler (via Posy Gets Cozy’s Alicia Paulson).
We snacked on yummy eats on the back deck, in the sun…
Admired the fall colours and enjoyed the warm weather…
And even put up a few autumn decorations to mark equinox.
On Sunday morning we enjoyed some monkeys bouncing (and happily falling) on the big bed…
… followed by quilty-tent burrowing…
… and cuddles. That was my favourite part of all. 😉
The weather was ridiculously nice for the first weekend of fall, and I celebrated by drinking a delicious smoothie in my cutie summer pj’s.
The rest of the day was pretty much the same as Saturday, which was nice and relaxy – especially after a bumpy night of sleep with wee Mr. Sniffles.
And that was our weekend. I hope yours was equally enjoyable. =)
(P.S. For those of you with a keen eye… you may have noticed some NEW effects from Pixlr-o-matic! All sorts of new goodies to try – go check it out.)

Hey Kate,
A commercial, dinner out, decorating, and new projects, and time for a smoothie…what do you do LIVE on coffee!
Honestly, I know how it goes, all of a sudden everything comes together, and gasp! you actually have the energy and time and the weather is beautiful. I love all you pics as usually. With my daughter joining flickr it has been nice getting back into the photo thing more, and joining some groups.
I keep fantasizing about a Nikkon cool pix….
Cheers,
Leah
How do I do it? Well, it isn’t coffee. I think it’s “ignore the housework”… 😉
And thanks so much for the nice compliments, Leah.

It sounds like you had a wonderful weekend Kate, and congratulations to your son on the commercial! I sure hope the little guy is feeling all better now!
All of your photographs are wonderful, but as mean as it may sound, my favorite is the “crying child” shot! Pure, raw, 2-year-old emotion, that I remember so well!! 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing these at The Creative Exchange.
Have a wonderful day!

P.S. The flower you asked about is called a Balloon Flower.
Thanks, Lisa!
Yes, we have manymanymany crying-two-year-old photos… I think the novelty has worn off for me. 😉
And thanks for the Creative Exchange. I figured it was about time I posted something.
