Valentine card for Lloyd....






This is the mini album I gave to Lloyd for Valentines Day on Saturday.....it has a lot more pages than this but I'm not adding them all here.....

A few from Susannahs dance....




The stage area at the garden centre was tiny, but the girls did very well fitting in there to do their dance.....and they all had fun dancing for everyone! the next time they dance for an audience will be for their recital in April :)

the girl with the shaved head had 'gone pink' to raise money for cancer and had had her head shaved that week for charity - she also had two hearts shaved into the back of her head for Valentines Day - good for her - she does this every year to raise money :) very brave :)

Other dancers.....and the girls teachers...






Teacher Rachelle (in the front of the line up in the green outfit) is also the Mom of Chris and Laurences friends Chris and Scott) so it was nice to see her dance again. And the other lady speaking at the microphone is the girls dance teacher this year. Susannah especially adores her and Susie is a big favourite of hers I know and gets lot of hugs from her!

Susannah and friend...


On saturday we had to be at the Salisbury Garden Centre mid morning as Susannah was dancing in the Strathcona County Mayors art show......(or something or other....).

This is Susannah with a school friend as they waited to go on to do their dance! Her friend kept whispering to Susie "Your Mom is taking pictures AGAIN" and they would turn and pull funny faces......

Saturdays Winter Wonderland.....



Frosty trees that we woke up to on Saturday....

Sam......cuddled up with me......



This is Sam cuddled up on my shoulder one morning last week while I watched the Global breakfast news....

HSM Cheer Team Member!!




Abigail was given this Cheerleaders costume for her birthday from Grandma and Grandad Thorpe. Isn't it great? It will make a great Halloween costume in the Fall and is big enough to fit over Abby's coat if it's a cold Halloween too :)

Birthday dinner at Boston Pizza.....






Abigail chose to go to Smitty's for her birthday dinner, but Smittys in Sherwood Park closes at something ridiculous like 4pm on a Friday, so we couldn't go there.....so we chose to go to the BP's on Wye that has just been refurbished. It was good because despite being supper time on a Friday, we got a table straight away (for 7 of us thats pretty good)!

Oh and the pictures of Chris are supposed to look a certain way because he wanted them for his FB profile pic lol!

It was a funny meal - Susie and Abby were on their DS's to begin with and then I used on and we were chatting via picto-chat - Chris was texting, Sam was watching Wall-E on Lloyds i-phone and Laurie was using my i-phone to play games. Lloyd started complaining that we were all on our little gadgets and not communicating - but I WAS communicating with the girls - chatting via pictochat in fact it was fun getting Abigail to write to me even though we were sat opposite each other hahahaha. But we switched all our phones and DS's off and chatted instead hahahahaha. I didn't realise that other people could log in to pictochat and join in - Abby and I were chatting and writing to each other and all of a sudden some other girl in the restaurant logged in and started chatting to us......weird! No clue what table she was at lol Abby and I were writing funny things and I was drawing hearts and saying 'I love you' and then some girl logs in.....

Making a wish.......


Birthday wish time.......

Abigails birthday


Last Friday Abigail turned seven years old. She chose a carrot cake for her birthday cake and came with me to the party store to choose something to go on the top of the cake - she chose these Tinkerbell badges to stick on top and decorate and then she could wear them afterwards :)

Someone told her that carrot cake was a strange choice for a birthday cake but in this house you get to choose whatever kind of cake you like for your birthday! Carrot cake is one of her favourites so we found a great BIG carrot cake and I scraped off the orange carrot decorations off the top, covered it up with pretty heart sprinkles and then popped on her choice of decorations.

Everyone LOVED the cake and agreed it was a GREAT choice :) It vanished quickly :) whereas when we buy normal birthday cakes there is often some that gets left over because no one is that keen on the frosting or the actual cake......so why should we HAVE to get a certain kind of cake????

New drug approved....

Know anyone who needs this??????


Hahahahaha

love it!

Phone line!

We have no home phone line AGAIN...so if you need to get hold of me it will have to be via my cell # or Email or by leaving a comment on my blog (which goes through to my Email. If you want my cell # just ask :) Hopefully as soon as they have finished pulling down all my walls and ceilings and pulling up my floors they will fix my phone!!!

Stressed????

hahahahahaha course not ;)

Some atc's I've worked on lately....



For two swaps at Swapbot:

First picture shows ATC's for a swap where the ATC's had to be 80% made from brown bags/ lunch bags. You could do anything you like so long as you used brown bags on your atc's. You had to make 2 atc's for 2 partners.

The other two atc's are for two partners and the theme was 'Winter is Here'.
