Today, tomorrow......this week...

Today I cleaned out all the drawers and cupboards in my bathroom and bedroom...threw out so much 'stuff'...and tonight we threw out almost all of those 'bits'...you now the small things that clutter up junk drawers??? well its GONE

This afternoon was too nice to be indoors...

And my kids were outside ALL day which was just so nice :) Yay Spring is here (although we have winter storm warnings for tomorrow POO)

Tomorrow I'm having breakfast with CHristie at Ikea...then a little shopping maybe....maybe Dollarama (????Christie???) and then home ....the girls have rehearsals for their dance recital.......

Wednesday...swimming and in the evening optometrist/ hair appts......so I guess its not date night this week lol Susies friend may be sleeping over and joining us to go swimming...in fact the boys might be meeting friends at the pool too.........

Thursday - sofas being delivered and depending on what time that happens we will do something else........maybe I will take Susie to the scrapbook stores in Leduc to have a look around....

Friday - the kids have friends coming for sleepovers...not sure what we will do...

weekend - Costco for groceries (3 weeks goes so fast!) and the Farm and Agriculture show which we have free tickets for.....I want to get some pictures of Sam on all the big combines etc......

Review time.......

We watched three new movies this past weekend.......

Open Season...a cute cartoon about a bear and a deer lost in the mountains a few days before hunting season opens.....my favourite scene is when the deer falls into a bin and finds a cup of coffee :) It's not a brilliant movie but it's kind of sweet and easy to watch...the porcupine is very cute :)

Monster House......despite the name, I hadn't expected this movie to be quite so frightening......parts even made me jump! And some of it has an adult theme.....the ending was kind of sad and to be honest I don't feel it did any favours against 'fatism' (ie the fat lady is the evil one.......) I liked the babysitter though - she was cool ;) It's not a great storyline really...could have been so much better....

The Devil Wears Prada.........another ok movie.....maybe you need to be more into shopping and clothes and shoes etc to enjoy this movie......it was ok....I'd watch it again but it isn't great......not sure what all the fuss was about.......

TDWP did bring up the topic of bollocks though......like DH said, the term 'bollocks' is very British......we use that word a lot.....and the British assistant in the movie said 'bollocks'....which made us laugh......you don't hear many canadians use that word...but instead of crap we tend to say bollocks......

Ride Up For Autism....

I have several friends with children who are autistic......so this is something very close to my heart....please take the time to visit and support:

Charlie-Barley.......

Its so funny seeing a pig hanging out with the kids.......Charlie is outside whenever we are now...she never wanders off and just wants to be around us.....she sits like adog with her little botty on the floor and watches the kids playing badminton or basketball......her little tail wags like crazy...she just seems so happy to be outside with the children playing :)

I'm through!

So the results are in and I made it through to the second round.....I actually won for my group (group C) but came 4th in all (I'm figuring anyway).........

So really I should be pleased...I haven't scrapbooked for a year or two - only just getting back into it since our Florida trip.....and I have altered only a few things so far.....maybe 4 or 5.......including the contest pieces......so yes I should be pleased.....this is what I wanted...to make it through to round 2......so why do I feel disappointed????? Hmmm maybe its the time of the month or something......maybe its the perfectionist in me.......I don't know....

I came top in my group for goodness sake! I won through to round 2........Yay!

But yes, for some weird reason I feel a bit deflated and not good enough........sigh......

I wonder what the ingredients for round 2 will be.
