I think the sunshiney colours of spring are what I look forward to the most. The winter in Ontario is long and cold and everything is painted in sepia tones, or shades of white and brown and grey. Perhaps that's what makes me look forward the spring flowers so much... new growth, delicate shades of yellow and pink and green, another season in my garden.
And with the arrival of spring comes outdoor fun.
Callum's old enough to enjoy playing outside now, last year he was just a baby. Daddy has bought him a nice new sandbox, but it hasn't been put together yet, so we improvised with a baby bath in the back yard.
He thought it was the best fun ever, and managed to cover himself with sand. Grass stains on the knees are a sign of many more sandbox sessions to come.
But sometimes you need a detailed inspection of what you're doing, just to make sure you're doing it right.
What's that creepycrawly thing... an ant? In my
baby bath sandbox? I need a closer look.....
Hehehehe... he's such a lot of fun. I'm enjoying being a Nana. And only a few days to go and I'll be Nana x 2.... I'll keep you posted.

It's great being a Nana..!
ReplyDeleteCallum is having a great time, and I bet you did too. My youngest grandson was not impressed with the building capabilities of his sand until clever Nana added a little water. Now he thinks I'm an expert.
Enjoy the long weekend. Your flowers look lovely. By the time they flowers we have to plant annuals..Canadian weather, whar can I say..!
He's so sweet and so focused on his playtime.
ReplyDeleteOh! the little angel made me forget the flowers for a moment-- i love the collage. Enjoying the blossoms of the moment is so important!
ReplyDeleteI actually got tears in my eyes when I saw the pictures of Callum, Sham. MEMORIES. His is such a precious age, and as you know from my posts, they grow up so quickly! One day you will look back on this post and not believe how much he has changed.
ReplyDeleteNice blog funny jobs by little kid
ReplyDeleteShammie, he reminds me so much of my guys when they were little. He's just adorable. You must be so excited.. 5 days couting down. Lovely flowers. :)
ReplyDeleteCute Callum and beautiful collection of flowers, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit and kind words.
Isn't grandmothering fun? You get to watch your little ones grow and play and learn once more. Dear little Callum - he has grown! I love your idea of a babybath for a sandbox. I just hope no neighbour's cats find out!!
ReplyDeleteYour spring flowers are gorgeous! I too can't wait for the magic of spring.
Gday Shammickite, Callum is a So cute and really en grossed in his playing in the sand..love your colourful flowers they brighten the day..
ReplyDeleteIm a nan of 12 and each is so precious.

ReplyDeleteOh this is so much fun! Brings back many memories. Great shots and lovely flowers too.
ReplyDeletesweet photos, sweet boy! nothing is so wonderful as a sandbox. did you have one yourself as a sprout??

ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit and comments on my blog. I find it so heart-warming that bloggers from all over the world peep in here and there, and find so much interesting stuff. Thrilled for you experiencing being a Nana, won't be long then till the next one arrives I gather. I have 10 now and the eldest is 23. I remember the muddy pie days all too well, scrummy stuff!
ReplyDeleteWell done on the car deal on ebay too.
Love Granny
HE IS ADORABLE!!! Great Pictures, too...Such fun...lol!
ReplyDeleteAnd the NEW Baby almost here. I can remember when you were waiting for dear little Callum....It just doesnt' seem possible that he is almost 15 months old....WOW! Time is flying by....!
Spring lifts the spirits and a happy grandchild. Our second arrived last Thursday.
ReplyDeleteHe is adorable and love the baby crocks (shoes). They are such fun and so much to love. The flowers are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to the spring flowers as well.
ReplyDeleteNow what kind of Nana would let their grandson play in the cat box;))). He is a handsome fellow.
Maybe be columbine is more periwinkle.
Spring and its flowers are greatly appreciate by those who must endure long winters.
ReplyDeleteI agree that there must be a great dust factory in the sky somewhere...Its a never ending job.
ReplyDeleteOnly a few more days for you to be Nana again. Its so exciting. There is nothing like new life.
Love these pictures and his adventures with sand.
Our garden is also blooming like crazy. I love the colours everywhere. I can't believe how fast Callum has grown. Time goes by so quickly! What a cutie :)
