Mother of a 16-year-old

I can't believe that my eldest has turned 16!! I am sure that he was 3 only yesterday! Driving - there is a scary thought - he wants to get his Learners. I guess all we can do is arrange for driving lessons so that at least if he will be on the road, he will be as safe as he can be...

On Saturday, we took a number of his friends over to our friends house on Bowen Island for a beach birthday party - he says that it is his favourite place to be in the summer. The weather was not the best - but at least it did not rain and they were able to play in the ocean.

After lots of laughs and lots of food, we headed back to the mainland to drop off everyone and hit home. I dropped all the stuff off and headed right to bed - it is tiring being around 7 kids for a whole day of fun and not so much sun!

Of course, I have added to my 'photos to be scrapped' pile by another 100 or so. At this rate, I will never catch up to myself with all the photos I have waiting. I got some lovely pictures of the sunset on the west coast of Bowen - not the most colourful sunset I have ever seen, but quiet colours with a sailboat in the foreground.

I have also been asked to post some of my current layouts - I will add that to my list too.

Another weekend come and gone, the summer is almost over. I am sad that it has gone by so fast, but on the other hand, now that it will start getting darker and cooler in the evenings, there will be more time for scrapping!
