A Great Day for Henry

Henry had a great day. He got to play "on the big boat" as daddy and some other daddies got it ready for the water. He also got to play Baseball at Sportball with daddy. There was a nap and then there was gardening with daddy and then time in the park with mommy. Homemade pizza for dinner (Henry helped make the dough a few days ago--it's more delicious when in ages a few days). More playtime with daddy kicking around a ball in the back alley. Then chocolate ice cream, early bath, and time on the coach enjoying the Leafs victory. Story time and bed. A great day for Henry. He even got to wear his favorite monster truck shorts all day!

Here is some video of his help gardening....

Spring Fling 2009

On Saturday the church held its annual "Spring Fling"--a day for planting flowers, cleaning up, and do the usual sort of landscaping necessary to keep the place looking beautiful in the neighbourhood. Lots of people, including kids, helped out. Mercifully, it wasn't as hot out as last year. There also wasn't quite as much catch-up work to do as last year.

After the garden work the church had a pool party at the house of one of our parishioners. Great fun was had by all, I even managed to do my famous, traditional cannonball! Just as the party was getting going I ducked back to church to do a service (the Healing Prayer Service) and then I came back for the rest of the party. Went to bed early, exhausted.

Today was a good church day. I'll share more once I get the video together. Alas, right now I have like three or four media projects to do, on top of my other responsibilities!

Pretty soon we have to get growing on planting our personal garden at home as well as the church landscaping and vegetable garden. Yep, we are going to create a church vegetable garden on a patch of grass that begs for it. Why not?
