New Design

Quick post, I'm going to be redesigning my blog. It will still be up to read, but may not look right at times. Just to let you know. Look below for new posts.

Just Some Pics

Senaye suprising mom with a makeup job that she had done. This is what you get from a good girl who is quiet and that you trust, maybe to much.




All bundled up for this wonderful weather we are having. She sure didn't like that.






Here's a couple of pics of Kadeja and her incident with the plaster. Okay so it wasn't all that messy of a story. Most of the plaster I think was on me.

Spring Cleaning

Here I am in the middle of "spring cleaning" and I need to blog, I have to, I'm craving it and I need to complain. I've wanted to clean out the closets and every inch of my house for a long time now. I'm think the nesting instinct didn't go away when Kadie was born, which isn't a bad thing. You see I'm a pack rat, a terrible, terrible pack rat. I still have small collections from when I was a child. I have a hard time letting go. Maybe its because my family couldn't afford much when I was young and I savoured everything I received. I don't know. Spring cleaning is a huge ordeal for me. I start out really good, slowly but surely I go back to my old habits of what if I need this or what about the memories this item holds or I could use this in some sort of craft (which I never do get too, I have old jeans to prove it). Clothes is a hard one as well, I keep all my old clothes just in case I want to wear them again. Yeah right I will, some of them I don't fit anymore (yes its true, Celine is to big for some things now, hard to believe but true :) ), some are so not me anymore and some are definitely not in style right now. The hardest of all the clothes are the evening/formal dresses, you know grad and bridesmaid dresses. You've paid a lot more money for them and for that reason its hard to let go. Sigh, life is hard and complicated. What to do, yes I do know the answer, just grab them up and get them out. I won't miss them, I know, I will go into more classical pieces if I ever do need that item again. Now I feel like I'm just blabbering on. Anyways that's what I'm feeling and doing at this moment. Now I can get back to work. Complaining and having a pity party can sometimes do oneself good. Thanks for listening.

Walking In A Winter Wonderland

Yes that is what we are doing right now. It's covered with snow outside. Beautiful snow, yes that it is. Even though I'm ready for spring, which I thought was here with the nice warm weather we were having, the snow is beautiful.

My life has been busy this past week. With heading to Edmonton for a couple days for business, than my sister, brother in law and niece coming down, then a candle party and then finally Saturday UFC night which is big for the guys and one gal in our family. It was all fun though, but I am hoping for a quieter week this week.

One funny story I need to tell you is about Kadeja, yup she's at it again. Like I said before my sister came up. Well I met her, her family and my grandmother for lunch on thursday. Trying to get two kids ready, kadeja fed and myself ready is a chore. So getting on time to places is at most times impossible. We did great! We got to where we needed to be, the others were there, we had a table, ordered drinks, put Kadie in her seat and what do you think she does next? She grabs a coke that a server put at the edge of the table, everywhere, especially on her. Shocked her, it was cold! Pack her up, left Senaye with my sister, back in the car, all the way across town, change her clothes, back in the car, across town to the resteraunt and in our seats all in 15 minutes and at lunch rush too. I'm impressed and I didn't speed, I also kept my cool through the whole thing. All in a days work.

Mish Mush

Well I had the most eventful 15 minutes this morning. Fun eventful I should add. I finally got around to doing Kadie's impressions. You know those plaster plaques you can make with your babys hand or footprints? I finally did it this morning. Lots of fun. Everything started out fine, mixed the plaster up, poured it into the plaque container and let it dry for just a bit. Here's the interesting part. Took Kadie and was about to stick her feet in then remembered the paper towel, there's going to be a mess with her feet so I should have that if I don't want my floors messy. Grabbed it, grabbed Kadie, sat down, tried positioning her so she wouldn't get into it as I was using her foot. Things went from good to bad to worse. She kept getting loose, she wanted to play in this squishy stuff, she wouldn't hold still, her other foot kept getting away from me. Plus my floors were a complete mess. Nix the paper towel. Forget this, called my husband up, took her hands this time, had him try to hold her fingers so we could get a nice impression. Not happening even with two of us. I layed Kadie on her tummy grabbed her one hand to do the impression, had Jer hold her other arm and finally got an impression. Nice and easy in the end. Oh it was so much fun, lots of laughs. Not the greatest impression, but thats what I get for waiting almost 7 months for all of this. You would have thought I would have learnt with Senaye. Here's some words of advice for the new parents out there. If you want to do this, do it in the first couple months, don't wait. Don't expect to have perfect imprints like they show on the box, not going to happen even if you have both your hubby and yourself doing it. Hey it may work if you make it a family affair, get grandparents, aunties and uncles to help out, you never know you may get a perfect print ;-D Time to go give the little butterball a bath, her feet are still covered.

Hellooo Blondie

Loved you mommy, melts my heart every time.
One of the things that makes you realize why you had kids.

Anyways on to the topic. I'm going blonde. I'm taking the leap and doing it. Wanted to go blonde last summer, my hair wouldn't do it with home products (no surprise), so I'm going to the salon on Tuesday and doing it. Drastic, you bet, I love it. Surprises everyone. What will she think of next they wonder. I'm so excited but nervous at the same time. Really expensive though, couldn't belive it when I was told the price. Oh well, I need to feel 25 again, I definantly don't feel it. Having a little makeover and the nice spring weather will definantly do that. We'll see if blondes really do have more fun ;-D

What Austen Heroine Are You?

I couldn't believe I found this. So much fun if you are Jane Austen fan!
I'm extremely happy with what I got.

You Are...Elizabeth Bennet!

You are Elizabeth Bennet of Pride & Prejudice! You are intelligent, witty, and tremendously attractive. You have a good head on your shoulders, and oftentimes find yourself the lone beacon of reason in a sea of ridiculousness. You take great pleasure in many things. You are proficient in nearly all of them, though you will never own it. Lest you seem too perfect, you have a tendency toward prejudgement that serves you very ill indeed.

Giddy With Excitement!

I'm so excited, I'm finally going to paint the rest of my house. I'm feeling quite giddy with excitement! I have all the colors picked out and its going to look really good. The living room will have three walls as Exotic Red. The one wall shared by the living area and kitchen will be Desert Lily which is a soft yellow cream color (living room side) and in the kitchen a Chocolate Truffle color. Mmmm sounds good. Then I'm thinking of continuing the Desert Lily into all the hallways and up the stairs. I think I'm falling in love with my house if thats possible. The girls rooms are already done. Senaye's is very purple and princess and Kadeja's is a lovely very soft lime green, I'll probably have a fairy/garden theme in her room. In the master I plan to have a vintage inspired theme. Not sure of the colors yet, but I do want a small crystal chandalier in there, very romantic don't you think. The bathrooms I'm not sure, probably soft colors for more of a spa feel.
Anyways thats what I'm thinking about these days. Hopefully soon I'll be able to start slapping that paint onto the walls!
