Sick kids and not so sick kids......

I have Laurence home today...he's not sick - he had a headache this morning - or so he said he did - but he seemed fine to me so I set him to work with chores lol.....and playing lots of games with Abby! Dominoes and things......

Sam isn't well though - he was almost sick in the night....and this morning he is full of a cold....yucky cough :(

Lots of garlic tonight!

I want to phone my friend who isn't well but Chris has emptied caller display and thats the only place I have her number....sigh.....I am so unorganized.

It has snowed all day. Today is just a blip though and tomorrow a heatwave is going to arrive and all the flowers are going to burst out and the leaves will be green and the frogs will start croaking.....

The Secret says if you believe it the Universe will make it happen!

Drama club is cancelled because of the Provincial election. This means I don't have to bother to go out at all today.

The kids are having a blast upstairs and have generally not needed me at all today so I have cleaned and done laundry and blogged.

Susies bruised face.....

I didn't even know this had happened...Abigail ran into Susies face...must have happened Thursday I'm assuming. Lloyd knew....I guess it didn't hurt as bad as it actually looks because I don't remember any crying or anything. My kids don't really cry so I would have noticed if Susie had cried over anything in the last week lol. But I noticed the bruise - you can't really miss it can you? The bottom picture is from yesterday - a couple of days later......

Jennifers Little farm....

Pictures from last Thursday when we went to visit my friend Jennifer and her family....I used the camcorder and it takes really bad pictures....really poor quality sorry! I have a video of the lamb but I need to check which one it is on the laptop at some point...I have quite a few videos to add actually but have to figure them out....

In the top pic all the children were pulling faces but I took so long to take the picture that Nuala got bored pulling a face and then Abby just smiled lol....so it kind of looks odd :) Sam was busy splashing in puddles and Jennifers youngest isn't in the pic either :) lol but I tried my best :)

I really admire Jennifer for being so hands on with her animals - it was fascinating listening to how she looks after them and why she chose to farm sheep. How they butcher them etc etc....I wish I ate lamb. Poor Jennifer sounded a little fed up with eating lamb lol.

Day old lamb

We went to visit some friends and while there we saw their sheep including their day old lamb who had arrive a few weeks early. They didn't think he was premature at all though. Very cute! Without the donkey and dog to guard them, the coyotes in the area would get one a day!

Seedlings...

Getting some of our seeds started....A planted some pumpkins and sunflower seeds for an early started.

Baking

We've been doing a lot of baking in recent weeks...including some of our favourite fudge topped brownies to take to our friends house to share....
