Life is Sweet

Beautiful Day!

Not my movie but this kind of shows so much of what we saw and did last year.....every day really was a Beautiful Day! Just an amazing holiday! And this is just Disney and doesn't include everything else we did...the villa, the wedding, Universal....Sea World.....downtown Disney.....Downtown Orlando.....

I keep going to look at the January and Feb archives from last year to relive our holiday - hard to believe it was a year on Monday that we flew there......Can't wait to be back again next year!

cute!

Anyone see this?

I caught this on tv and was stunned....the poor children and Granddaughter that had to be involved :( It makes me sad that there are sch closed-minded people in this world that seem to feel they have to push their views on others. Its sad because they need to see that they are putting people OFF their beliefs and not encouraging them....

Sad.

Third born..

I found this on Jennifers blog and it got it right for me too :)

You Are Likely a Third Born

At your darkest moments, you feel vulnerable.
At work and school, you do best when you're comparing things.
When you love someone, you tend to like to please them.

In friendship, you are loyal to one person.
Your ideal careers are: sales, police officer, newspaper reporter, inventor, poet, and animal trainer.
You will leave your mark on the world with inventions, poetry, and inspiration.

The Birth Order Predictor

Plans change!

Well, we thought we had our weekend planned out but things changed pretty quickly last night! Susannah got invited to the movies so she went off with friends to see Mad Money. Laurence has gone to his friends in town to sleep over....two nights so he won't be back until tomorrow some time. Then Chris was invited to go to Vermillion for the weekend to watch his friend in an ice hockey tournament...they are staying in a Super 8 motel. So he left at 8am this morning.

So things are pretty quiet. Lloyd and I went to Chapters last night and looked through the magazines....sat and had coffee in the Starbucks there.....Mmmmm skinny latte with sugar free caramel syrup!!! Yummy! Then we chose a magazine/ book for each of the children. We bought Walter the Farting Dog for Abigail which she LOVES :) lol what kid wouldn't love a weird story about a dog who has a flatulence problem???? :)

So this morning we sat in bed watching the morning news and now we are up and heading into town to go ice skating...we are taking several spare pairs of pants for Sam as he is diaper free but may get distracted while ice skating or playing in the indoor playground.

Its so quiet having just 3 children...ind of weird. We sometimes try to imagine what life would have been like had we only had two or three children...and while things are definitely easier, it would have made me sad to have the baby stage over so fast. I'm still very happy we had 5 :) and the house does seem very quiet without the boys here! Not that they are noisy lol.....

We decided its just too cold out to head to Ice on Whyte today - so we may go one evening this week in the dark and see the movie on the ice screen....or maybe next Sunday to watch the fire dancers melt all the ice statues......we'll see!

Ok off to brush my teeth and then we can head out. Have a great day everyone!

From edible to incredible....

I think these pictures are really cute.....and clever....but then I love those I Spy picture books where you have to find things in the jumbled mess :)

Three little pigs....

Abigail and Sam painting their porcelain pigs today.

My latest obsession....

I've changed from stars to hearts!

In the sunlight.....

This little icicle was so sweet outside of my bedroom window - all frosty!

My girls in the snow....

Amber and Rosie in the snow this morning...

Yesterdays snow....

Our day...

I had some errands to run today and so I promised to take Abigail and Sam to Petsmart to see the animals and they got to choose a treat for Amber and Rosie. They love going there and now its so close! We watched the hermit crabs and fire-bellied toads......the albino mouse....and Sam fell in love with a little white dove! There was even a cat named Jane that needed adopting!

Sam and Abby chose a craft each to paint and thats what they're doing right now - at the table painting porcelain pigs!

Its Friday YAY! Not sure what the weekend holds exactly as all our plans can be changed....but the main plan seems to be movies tonight....drop Laurie at his friends in town.....tomorrow Ice on Whyte....the rest of the weekend is free.....

Tonight there is an online crop at scrappershaven.ca which I was supposed to attend but that means I won't see Lloyd all evening and I'm not sure I want that...but I'm not sure I wnat to go to the movies either.....maybe we'll sit in Starbucks for a while and then I can scrapbook for a while too....oh who knows....lol!

I'm tired today. I feel like curling up at home with my new book instead......

Hope they are safe....

Ambulance and fire truck rushed up Hwy 14 a little earlier....the roads are pretty slippery in places today. I hope all involved in whatever it was they were rushing to are ok.

I stopped at a stop sign on 17th street earlier...and didn't stop....car kept sliding into the junction...there was a mni van coming towards me and it was all a little surreal...slow motion....thankfully I stopped short of the van.....I wasn't even doing 20.....maybe not even as I had only just turned onto the first road and then came to the stop sign so I dread to think if I had been doing 50 or whatever that road allows!

The roads ouot here are much better than in town....the junctions in town are so slippery in places! It's deceiving!!

I'm loving this.....

And the rest of James Blunts 'All the Lost Souls' album........

Videos a bit weird though lol.....

Anyway...this is the cd I'm listening to most of the time in the car at the moment!
