Rice pudding fiend.........




I sat Abigail and Samuel at the table with their lunch while I washed some dishes.....they were doing fine....so I left them and came and checked Email...got distracted and assumed they were still there eating.......

Well Abigail had decided to get up from the table and take her lunch into the sitting room to watch tv......so Sam was on his own....

He decided to mix his penguin bar (a chocolate wafer) into his rice pudding...then he decided to flick the chocolatey rice pudding all over the table and floor.....then he used his hands and wiped it all over his clothes, the chair, the table and the floor........

And then he ran around the main floor with bits of rice pudding being flicked everywhere and then came to me at the computer and wiped his hands all up my pant leg (trousers)...........

Oh my! What a mess!

So I start clearing up the mess and he thinks it is hilarious and starts finding things to throw into the dining room and into the mess while I am trying to clean it up...just so he HAS to come in and get it and mush all the mess in with his feet at the same time.........

fun fun fun!

Costco on Fridays...

We just got back from Costco...we weren't sure if it would be busy tonight but it was EMPTY...like REALLY empty! So it was ideal :) Especially as we took Abigail with us!

I bought myself a new book......Vincent Lams 'Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures' which is a collection of stories surrounding the relationships between medical students.....I've wanted to read that for a while.....

I haven't got much of The Girls left to read...part of me is so so excited to see what happens but another part will be really sad to say goodbye to Rose and Ruby.....I NEED another good book to jump into afterwards......

What else did we get? Well I tried a sample of juice while I was there and fell in love...so we bought a pack of them...it is flavoured water and is called 'Talking Rain Botanicals'...it's made with Splenda and comes in three flavours...Quintessential Kiwi, Purely Passion and Luscious Loganberry......they are all gorgeous and all 0 calories :) and the bottles are a great shape to hold :) If you want to drink more water then try these mmmmmmmmmmmm

Before Costco we went to Scrapbook Memories and More and I bought some more supplies.....adhesives and blades for my paper trimmer and some gorgeous papers and embellishments....Abigail chose some Minnie Mouse rub-ons too......I bought a Flip Book to alter too...

This afternoon I embossed some juice lids and a laminate tag.....in a copper colour...ready for the wedding layout I am working on for the March Challenge....Abigail had fun with some of my rubber stamps while I was working.....

When the boys got home from school (Susie went straight to Cassie's on the bus and is sleeping over) I went to the mail box with Laurie.....I found ANOTHER issue of Homeschooling Horizons magazine...I seem to get one every couple of weeks right now ...I've had three since we got back from Florida which is puzzling becaus eits monthly......anyway I was thrilled because its a FAB magazine so I went and soaked in the bath again and read until Lloyd got home.....and Chris brought me a cup of tea :) .........am I spoiled or what???? lol!

We had chinese for dinner tonight :) lemon chicken for Lloyd, rice and a vegetable dish for me......Lloyd picked it as it had lots of big mushrooms in it for me...he hates mushrooms so I don't have them often but if he sees something like that he will get it for me.....

So what are you all up to this weekend? We have NO plans :) Chris is meeting his girlfriend at the mall on Sunday....they are going to choose a gift for Lloyd for his birthday....

We do plan to be outside a lot...tomorrow I plan to wash my car inside and out.....we want to try and clear a route to the fire pit.......I want to bath Charlie........I plan to scrapbook and when I take Chris to the mall I may well take the others to the library........

Lloyds friend Stuart was coming for dinner on Sunday but won't be back from Calgary in time so we will do that another night.......

Oh I want to add some pics of the rice pudding.......

Soaking up the rays..........




Another warm day here. Rosie, Amber and Cairo are sleeping in the sunshine on the porch......

Congrats to Chad and Robin!!!






Our friends Chad and Robin move into their new house this weekend.....and are expecting their third baby :) This is wonderful news all round :) Sadly though they are the other side of the country in St Johns......they moved back 'home' last Fall......

They sent us some pics of their new house....I believe thanks to selling their Edmonton home last year, they are almost..if not completely mortgage free :) Wonderful :)

The people in the pictures are the building company finishing things off while the walk-through was being done!

My little man..........




painting the beads.......






My little creative artists at work this morning.......

Pasta and Paint......




Take a bowl of pasta and a plate of paint and you can have LOTS of fun decorating beads for necklaces :)

Right now we are waiting for them to dry so we can thread them onto elastic.....

Paper bag albums





I finally got around to photographing my paper bag albums...they aren't totally finished yet but you can get the idea......each 'pocket' has a page that you can slide out by pulling the flowery ribbon.....

Full bloom............




Dorothy has only one bud to bloom now......

I miss you......

Today I am missing Florida and Disney World BIG TIME......we have been back from our holiday for well over a month now and we are all desperate to go back.....Lloyd says maybe next year we will go again.....

We had such a great GREAT holiday and I just didn't want it to end and we all keep reminiscing about it. Everything from the villa and the pool to the rides and the sunshine and the food and the fun and and and and.....you get the picture :)

This morning I read a sentence with Disney World in it, and that was it....It got me thinking about it and I just can not WAIT to go back! Tara I am squishing into your suitcase this summer!
