What's your current obsession?  preparing for the new homeschool year.  

What are you wearing today?  Shorts, the naughty t-shirt I bought at Rowena :)

What's for dinner?   BBQ - we are meeting friends at an outdoor movie night in the park and there is a BBQ there :)

What would you eat for your last meal?   Roast dinner with yummy roast potatoes and brussel sprouts, swede etc etc

What's the last thing you bought?  A table for Sams bedroom.  I decided it was time the children had nice bedrooms they love and have been working hard to finish them....Sam saw a little table he wanted - to play with his cars and soldiers etc etc on and so I got that for him last night.

What are you listening to right now - Sam playing in his room with his toys :)  I love his imagination and the way he plays with his toys so vocally - reminds me of me when I was little :)  He and Abby are really 'in' to Playmobil at the moment - as well as other things, but I think Christmas will bring a lot of Playmobil into the house :)  

If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would you go? - Canmore - I was sent details of a really great hike there I want to do before Winter with Susannah, but I don't think I'm going to get to, so it might have to wait until Spring :(  It sounds amazing and I want to take my camera and go :)

Which language do you want to learn?  Spanish!!!  But right now we are in a French club - and thats fine - Abigail really wanted to learn French - and the group is so friendly and is a great social outlet for the children, so it will be perfect :)  And it is run by a Spanish lady - so who knows, maybe I will get to learn some Spanish too :)

What do you love most about where you currently live?  My house?  The fact that I know it so well - how it changes in the seasons - the birds that visit, the animals, the way the pond and trees change, the scenery changes.....I love the security and stability that comes with knowing how reliable that all is.  I love that the rooms are all odd little shapes, I love the colours I have chosen.  I adore my bedroom with my collection of mirrors on the wall.  I love that i's all perfect even though it's totally IMPERFECT :)  It's home :)  

As for the area that I live - I love that we live on an acreage and can drive out of town to peace and quiet.  I love Edmonton and all that it has to offer - the festivals are amazing, people are friendly and giving.  There is soooooo much for families to do here - and the homeschooling community here is HUGE - you have to say no to so much or you would be on the go non stop!  I love how clean it is here and how quiet the roads are compared to the UK.  I love the choices my children have in education.  

What is your favorite color?  Turquoise

Chocolate or vanilla?    Depends on what it is.....ice cream??  a really good vanilla.  Cake???  Chocolate :)  

What were you doing 10 years ago  I was pregnant with my Daughter Abigail.  Just moved into a new house in Scotland.  Susannah had just started nursery school and Laurence and Christopher had just started their new school in Scotland.  

If you had $100 now, what would you spend it on?  I don't really need to go and buy anything except groceries.  So I would put it in my purse or bank and put it towards the groceries.  Or towards tonights BBQ 

What are you going to do after this?  Put a load of laundry in the dryer.  spray a bookshelf white.  

What are your favorite films?  Bridesmaids.  2 hours of non stop laughter!  Best. film. ever.  :)

What inspires you?  Brave Girls Emails.  Soul Restoration work.  Certain people online.  Quotes I read.  

Your favorite books?  I have read soooo many great books lately that I can't say just a few...The Gift of Imperfection is a good one though :)

Do you collect anything?  I collect swans.  Single swans.  Only ones that I find for myself and they have to be lone swans :)  I pick them up at thrift stores and yard sales and thought they would be hard to find, but they aren't, so I am really particular about the ones I buy.  

What makes you follow a blog?   If  it contains information that interests me, helps me, cheers me, inspires me....

What was the most enjoyable thing you did today?  It's still morning, and we haven't done much yet - but snuggling with Sam in the mornings is lovely.  Im looking forward to our evening out.  

What is on the top of your to-do list?  I have a LONG to do list, but I guess at the top would be to put the laundry from the washing machine into the dryer.  I like staying caught up on laundry :)

What's your favorite time of day and why?  evenings.  I get to relax, create, potter....go out :)  although that could all be set to change ;)
