Lynette called around this morning.....she brought Lauries artwork with her......their move has gone really well so far......I think they will finally be out of the old house next week........

Snow Valley

We were driving back from WEM today and were almost home...along Hwy 14.....and Abby shouts that she can see Snow Valley......so we are all puzzled and all trying to spot whatever white stuff it is she is commenting on.......none of us can see it so with an exasperated tone...as if we are all stupid...she says "Oh just forget it!"

An Abby-ism

Driving along the Hwy the other day Abigail shouts out:

"Oh My God, theres a naked dude on a tractor"!!!!

My wonderful DH

Lloyd knew I was feeling fed up so he put the children to bed and then got CHris to babysit and then drove me into town for coffee...we went to the scrapbook store......which is always an interesting experience with Lloyd as he constantly makes rude jokes about things as I walk around........so I set him the task of finding chicken papers or stickers or whatever.....he kept coming back with nice things but nothing to do with chickens........needless to say I spent rather more than I had planned but I found some nice things for Mums birthday....as always they will be late...I'm so unorganized!!!! So her birthday is on the 10th......I have three days to get things sent and have them arrive in England......it takes two weeks.....sorry Mum but they will be worth the wait!!

We also went to Homesense for a walk around but they were closing so we went for a coffee and sat and chatted for a while before driving home.........I told him that coffee and shopping doesn't make a date night lol...so he promises me he's taking me out Saturday night......

When we got home we went for a walk outside...checked on our chickens...when are those little ladies going to start laying??????? Lloyd played baseball with the dogs for a while - his new bat hits it for miles........and now we are inside...the kids are in bed...not asleep yet.....but it's quiet downstairs at least :)

It's hot and muggy again tonight....maybe another storm or shower tonight will cool things down again......

On the radio tonight the DJ played a song for a couple celebrating their 44th wedding anniversary...she asked what the secret was to a long happy marriage...he said that you should be friends first........well Lloyd and I have bee friends since I was 8 and he was 7.......so I guess we'll be ok ;)

Little People Big World

http://www.mattroloff.com/roloff-farm.html

I don't watch much tv...most days I don't watch any......sometimes we'll put on a movie...like last night we watched the end of Spanglish.......but generally I would rather do other things than watch tv...which tends to be all crap.

One show I really enjoy though is Little People Big World...Lloyd of course says this is because I can relate to being little........

Really though it's because I LOVE the Roloff farm.......I love the Oregon scenery.....I LOVE Amy's new kitchen!!!!! I love the red barn.......I love their house with it's porch like ours......and I like seeing what Matts latest project is...the pumpkin trebuchet...the pirate ship.....the peach stand......he tends to go overboard like I do...with things like the pumpkin patch etc etc.....

It makes us want to move to Oregon...something we have been looking into......it seems if Lloyd gets this new contract that we could basically live wherever we like as he will work from home.....so who knows.......

So this is one show I try not to miss when it's on.......but luckily they show repeats quite often.......if you haven't seen this show then watch it!!!! It's on TLC!!!

Blah

Its been a bit of a blah day.......we went to West Ed but it wasn't much fun. Roadworks everywhere. We de-toured at 53rd Ave.....there are some nice roads around there...around Brookside Elem. Never been around there before.........We went to Tony Romas for lunch but I wouldn't bother again...blah food and blah service and blah surroundings.....we did a few touristy things....Lloyd bought a new baseball bat.....I find shopping boring......the mall was busy especially around the ice rink where a hockey match was about to start.......the kids just wanted to stay home and swim......we should have done that..........

Its nice out since it rained....warm but so much cooler than it has been.......

My iron levels are very low atm...think thats not helping this blah mood.........better take my meds......

Yay for rain!!!

It's raining!!! It's pouring :)
You couldn't tell in any of the pics I took except for this one!!! But it's definitely raining....we've been out on the porch smelling the fresh smell of new rain on the grass and watching the rain pour down! Hooray it's raining!!!!
