Interesting Bit Of News

It's 24 more days till my birthday!!! That's right! No I'm not having a party, damit! My husband is not creative enough for that. On my 30th birthday, his brother got married the next day. So Dustin was like this is your party too *NOT*. On a side note luckly I have really good friends who through me a surprise party I was completely surprised!!!

Anyways I just wanted to share the news cause even if I'm turning 32, I still act like a 12 years old counting down the days!

Out Of The Mouth of Babes

Ice cream is cold.... like life as said by my almost 8 year old.

Photoshopping

So for a while now I've been playing around with photoshop and trying to teach myself. I think I've done a really good job. What do you guys think??? For some reason the pictures are in the wrong order... but I'm sure you've figured that out already LOL So start at the bottom picture and go up.

Too Much To Do Today

HuH! I have so much I need to do today, but here I am on the computer instead. What is it about the computer/facebook/blogging that makes people drop everything and spend hours looking at??

I must say that I love facebook. I have contacted so many people I've lost touch with. I may not *talk* to them everyday but I can see pictures or read up on their lives. It is very convenient and I can do it on my own time.

This saturday is the used toy and clothing sale for my Y-Neighbours group. If you're in the area come out, message me and I'll give you the address. I need to bake for it. I need to get all my things together for. But there really is no reason to put everything in the van yet. I'm helping to run it and I've organized it. My biggest fear is that we'll have little to no one there. That would really suck.

I can hear my youngest in his room playing with is toys. He's pretending some toy is the easter bunny. He's been talking so much lately it's very funny. We've also been venturing down the potty train choo choo, or should I say poo poo lol. Have I ever told you how much I HATE POTTY TRAINING!!! Now he's saying upside down and standing with his bum in the air and his head on the floor. Gota love 2.5 year olds.

My second oldest has decided to hate pants all she wants is a skirt and a shirt, or dress and pantie hose. Boy she doesn't take after me. Maybe she takes after her father more??? lol just joking.

gota go.... apparently it's movie time

Finish the quote

Just having fun today and wondering what everyone would say.

Nothing says lovin like....

Quote of the Day

"When your children are quiet.... it means they are doing something that you would not approve of"

I'm sure all you long time mothers out there know that, this is just a reminder, or if you are a new mom..... learn this quote. Your kids will pratice it daily!!!!

Randomness

Easter weekend.... talk about a really long weekend. Good Friday.. no school, Easter Monday..no school. I really don't remember getting this much time off when I went to school. I used to have to walk 5 miles to school in a snow storm up hill lol... no I didn't.

So I talked to my mom last night.... My brother and her are getting ready for their trip out here in July. Yea! very exciting! Then we're all going to Alberta to visit my other brother and his family. It's been along time since we've all been in the same place. I think when Colette was born in '99???

Dustin went out and helped sandbag a friends yard yesterday. He's really glad it was just their culvert and not the whole house. Hopefully the river settles down soon and we won't get evacuated. But let me reassure you... I won't be staying back worrying about worrying about my house. It's just stuff... stuff that can be replaced. The only stuff I would worry about is the pictures, and maybe the computer. The kids, dog and husband are a givein.. of course I would get them out.

My mom's group used toy and clothing sale is coming up on the 25th of April. I'm in charge of it and I just hope we get people out to shop and it is a success. I also have the twins group toy and clothing sale coming up this weekend. I really need to get modivated to sort and tag all my clothes for this one. I'm also volunteering and will be there all day on saturday. Long day, very tiring. But I do enjoy volunteering there.

The kids are having a semi-good day....... no major melt downs, no hitting and screaming. It's raining out today. I'm hoping it clears up some and we can go outside.

I really should clean up all the dog poop in our back yard. I swear this dog poops more then normal.

That's it for today... have a great Easter Monday!

Spring Break Is Almost Over

Well well well it sure felt like a long week... spring break is offically over today!! yeah! on Monday it's back to normal.

Here is a low down on what we did..
Monday- walk- took pictures-fought with the kids to go to bed
Tuesday-walk-had quiet time-fought with the kids to go to bed
Wednesday-went to the mall-quiet time-fought with the kids to go to bed
Thursday-kids played downstairs-quiet time-finally kids go to bed
Friday-walk-kids playing downstairs-shopping

Fun week wasn't it... Although there was more in there.... more fighting, coloring, watching movies, more fighting. All in all it's making memories as a family.

I can't wait for summer to be here and I can just throw 3 of the kids outside to play, no ski pants, boots, mitts, hats, sooner or later summer will come. I'll just keep saying that until it happens.
