I just got back from the school......Chris left his lunchbox at school today so I had to take it to him...luckily the school isn't far...while I was there I was chatting to the secretary (she manages to remember my name but I just don't recall hers....I am hopeless with names...) anyway...I have booked 2 tables so far for Scraparama....and she was saying she loves to scrapbook and will be there too :) She seems so nice..her Daughter is in Chris's class and in fact it was her Daughters lunch that Chris bought at the Valentines Day lunch auction...
This afternoon I am starting the Spring Clean Up outside...basically I am going round with a big box that has a sack inside and I am going to shovel up all the dog poop and shove it in the bag in the box.....Sam and Abby (currently munching toast) can play on the porch in the sandbox or on the trampoline while I have the pleasure of cleaning up after my gorgeous dogs.....
Tonight is date night. We have to run to the Disney Store as Susie needs a costume for tomorrow (nothing like leaving things to the last minute huh?) She wants to be Princess Jasmine.....but if they don't have that costume in her size then she will have to be something else....it is Fairytale Day at school tomorrow....apart from the Disney store I don't know what we are doing tonight....on Saturday we are going to the Home and Garden show which I'm looking forward to....we can't decide whether to go to the Muttart on Sunday for the Tulip Festival.......
I need to phone my Mom to find out if she has booked her trip yet because I wnat to book Jasper and also want to know how many tickets to order for the tramway thing in Jasper....(air miles)
Our new sofas that were going to be delivered on Friday are now coming next Thursday.....we order a Love Seat and a sofa from La-Z-Boy on Sunday...oh and the Ottoman but that will take 8 weeks because we wanted some changes made to it....the design is called the Windsor and we chose the 'Mahogany' leather....I don't like the look of the sofas at all - but the comfort is AMAZING! The leather is so so soft and its all squishy........and you can curl up in it.....sooo relaxing.....Lloyd says I will grow to love the style of the sofa too.....he likes it already...and who cares when its dark and your'e curled up watching a movie??? Who cares what it looks like then???
Tomorrow I'm having brunch with Val.....that will be nice! Abigail has preschool...the kids finish tomorrow for Spring Break....Lloyds contract ends next week and he may have a few days off before his next one starts..depending on how fast the government are at getting the paperwork organized and what his burn rate is........I kind of hope he has a day or two off the following week instead..when the kids are at school.... of course Lloyd doesn't want any time off lol because time off is money NOT being earned lol! Sigh!!!
We watched a show last night (actually the last 10 minutes of a show) about Fisherman Island off the coast of Maine...you can rent the whole island which comes with this gorgeous huge house and its own chef!!! Its like $230 a person per night or something and you have to have a minimum number of people per night too.....anyway it looked heavenly so I suggested we book it for a couple of weeks next summer and of course Lloyd congratulates me on my new job (because I MUST have got a new well paying job if I think we can afford that lol!) so I guess we won't be booking our own island for the summer sigh..........
I also saw on the BBC News yesterday that cherry blossom season has begun in Japan....I remember watching a show last year on a 10,000 year old Cherry Blossom tree in Japan...it is held up by ropes now but still flowers every Spring....and draws crowds from all around the world.....I would sooooo love to see that tree one day!
I ahve to vacuum and I have to put away the clean dishes...and I have to sort some laundry........I really shouldn't be sat here at the computer!
