Sunscreen & Popsicles

 

I have just spent the most wonderful summer of my life taking care of 3 little boys in Canada. I've explored Toronto, I've been to Niagara Falls. I've had an awful lot of adventures, and it has changed me forever. But I must admit... When I'm old and grey, my fondest memories of my summer as an au pair in Toronto will be of sitting on the porch in the sun licking melted popsicle off little fingers and laughing and telling stories about frogs and balloons and Thomas the Tank Engine.

Icky Sicky

I have been given the wonderful gift of a chest infection this week. Not fun. That is until you find ways to make it a bit more interesting...

Things To Do When You're Sick
+Drink hot tea
+Watch The Ellen Show
+Attempt to sing, and laugh at the 'noise' it makes
+Sleep for a while
+Read lots
+Blow bubbles
+Colour
+Watch a really old movie that you haven't seen in years
+Write in your diary
+Make a 'Sick and Tired' playlist on iTunes
+StumbleUpon on your phone- kept me amused for hours!
+Walk around with a blanket like a cape
+Look through old photos and home videos
+Eat an entire box of chocolate fingers without feeling guilty
+Paint your toenails

2011 In Photos

I've been spending some time thinking of how best to capture all that has happened this year... And well.. I just can't! So I will try this idea to wrap up 2011. I found it over here. One photo for every month this year. :)

Surgery in January

February: Babysitting as usual, one of my favourite past times. :) 

Taylor Swift concert in March

April: Lots of walks to relieve exam stress!

May: Goodbye cards & letters from teachers (and their kids!)

June: Little cousins in big shoes (Alice & Eleanor)

July: My best friend Laura's Birthday (but she is too camera shy to allow a photo on the internet...for now!)

August: Graduation & Exam Results

Moving to college in September

October: Dressing as a nerd for Halloween!

November: Lots of new college friends (and please excuse my wet hair, pyjamas and 3D glasses haha)

December: Seeing family at Christmas time (Little cousin, Holly)

So there is my year in photos. :) Anyone wish to join me? Post a link for your blog, and I will check it out. :)
