Lego talent...
These are copies of local buildings in and around Edmonton...they are made completely from Lego by the Northern Alberta Lego Users Club.......I had no idea that grown men still liked to play with Lego at clubs!!!!
The weekend news...
Laurie slept over at his friends Friday night and then phoned Saturday and asked to stay over another night - he is home now.....it was kind of sweet because Friday night Abigail came downstairs upset - she couldn't sleep because she missed Laurence!
The furnace guy finally came on Saturday morning.....they are coming on the 15th and 16th to put in a new furnace and air conditioning :) I am happy about this :) No more hot house in the summer!
Last night we watched another episode of Greys Anatomy.....its becoming an addiction - as soon as the kids are asleep we watch more......I think we have about 15 more to watch and then we have to wait for series three to come out on dvd :)
McDreamy is um............DREAMY!!!! I find men who cry REALLY sexy lol ;)
My Mum phoned this afternoon - she sang Happy BIrthday to Sam...Sam said three things to them I think......Car, yes and Bye!
Mum told me that her close friend (that she normally goes walking with - they do sponsored walks etc and hike regularly) is sick again.....she starts chemo again on Wednesday...please keep her in your thoughts.

weirdo!!!!
On Friday I was at the doctors...my appt was at 11am but I ended up going in at 11:50!!!! grrrr...anyway luckily a friend of mine walked in shortly after 11am....the waiting room was busy but quiet - people politely talking quietly or reading or just watching the tv (that showed CNN news - another thing that bugged me - why did we have to sit and listen to US news??? Whats wrong with CTVnet????)
Anyway, my friend T and I were talking about her DS starting school in the Fall because he missed the cut off date by 2 weeks...and I was saying how I felt that extra year benefits a child because of our experience with Susannah.....she started early but by 7 she had friends of 9 in her class and they were all into boys and fashion and weightloss etc which was too much too soon for a 7 year old - even if she was doing brilliantly academically!
Anyway...this guy sat a few people away suddenly butts into our conversation giving his thoughts!!!! I mean is that normal????? Should he even have admitted he was listening into our conversation let alone joined in??????? I was stunned!
A short while later we were discussing Gameboys and PSP's etc etc and all the quivelant little things.......and he starts butting in again!!! Saying how he bought his daughters a psp for CHristmas and his 6 year old loves it but his 3 year old struggles a little and keeps asking for help (????????????? WTF does a 3 year old need a PSP for?????)
So anyway - was he weird or what???? I thought it was really weird - in a quiet doctors office waiting room for someone to join in with two friends conversations....I love listening in on others conversations but to join in like that???

Can we fix it??
YES WE CAN!!!!!
Here is Sam enjoying his birthday at the Bob the Builder exhibit at the Royal Alberta Museum......he had so much fun there!! He was overwhelmed and couldn't decide what to go on first so he kind of just ran around and spent 1 second with each thing at first.....so then we went off and looked around the rest of the museum before going back to the Bob exhibit to explore in more detail.....
Just beautiful
Lloyd brought me home roses on Thursday...they are beautiful - they have opened up well and are HUGE...and such a gorgeous colour! He said he hadn't bought me any for a while......mmmm at least a month lol! :) I love that he buys me flowers often - it doesn't take away from how special they are and what they mean to me. I keep them ALL afterwards and dry the rose heads...I have a HUGE bowl filled with roses he has given me since we got together 6 years ago.....and ma now on the second bowl :)
Thank you Lloyd - they are beautiful baby!
Me :)
Yesterday Lloyd and I went into town and had our hair cut.....Erin at Regis does our hair - and this time I wanted a change so I had my hair coloured as well as cut short....you can't see it well in this pic but I have very red streaks through my hair now! While my hair was being coloured Erin cut Lloyds....
I did think that maybe I shouldn't have taken Lloyd with me while I have my haird dyed - its not exactly glam is it - sat there with foils in your hair - he did bring me coffee though which kind of made up for the fact that he then took a picture of me - foils and all - with his phone camera! grrrrr
Cars cake......
So I made Sam a Cars cake for his birthday - making use of my Kitchen Aid mixer yet again :) Its so so lovely - did I tell you I am in love with my mixer?????? lol!!
Leslie you will LOVE yours - you won't WANT to buy any more cakes because its so easy and wonderful to make your own!
Here is Sams car cake.
It is snowing heavily here right now - I hope it clears as we are planning on taking Sam to the museum to see the Bob the Builder exhibit and take lots of pictures!
I have a two year old!!!!
My little Samsam turned 2 today! How can he be two already??????? TWO!!!! Here he is starting to open his gifts this morning......he had a lot of 'Cars' stuff....Ice Age 2 on dvd, a cart full of blocks to pull around....some more Thomas train set...a ball.....a lovely top and camo pants....and an aeroplane....he loved opening his presents!!!
