Oh the fun of a box!!
Still busy with his duct tape - first a car that he 'drove' all round the house.....and then a house for Keegan and Tigrey.
Windy weather....
Last week we had a wintery storm blow through with winds as strong as 90km an hour. It lasted about three days and was just horrible! They had forecast a lot of snow and rain and although we did get some on Thursday night (remember our VERY frightening evening????) unfortunately the strong winds evaporated much of the snow and we are no better off than we were before!! It is still just as dry out there :(
Anyway, while I was emptying the camera card I found these pictures from last week when the snow was just starting!
This time of year we get such a mixed bag of weather! It has been cool the last couple of days - yet none of the rain or snow promised has actually arrived! It is now set to warm up and is going to be 20c and 21c over the weekend!!! GORGEOUS!!!
Yet we could still get a dump of snow before Victoria Day (the official start of Summer).
As they say here in Alberta - if you don't like the weather, just wait five minutes ;)
Random Dozen...
1. How do you feel about "Gladiator" sandals, also called "Roman" or "Jesus" sandals? A fashion yea or nay? Definitely a NAY for me....lol I won't repeat what Lloyd said hahahaha!!
2. What is your favorite pizza? blegh I am NOT a fan of pizza - I will eat it because everyone else likes it but I am really not keen on it. I usually just eat Lloyds crust which he cuts off for me. If I get to pick I would pick a thin crust wholewheat base with things like feta, olives, spinach....peppers....and probably from a REAL Italian restaurant - none of this crappy Pizza Hut or equivalent stuff.
3. There are plans in the works to sell roughly 1,000 items from Star Trek: The Experience in Las Vegas. This means you could buy Picard's chair for your family room. If not a Star Trek item, what prop, background, set, etc. from what TV or movie would you buy if you could?
I'd LOVE a pair of the Ruby Slippers from The Wizard of Oz and the Witches Hat (which I have seen in real life) and Lloyd would like the bikini worn by Princess Leia from Return of the Jedi (for me to wear) hahahahaha!!! (in his dreams hahahaha)
4. Name a local food or restaurant that your area is famous for. Alberta Beef, Prairie Oysters, salmon,
5. What is your current favorite snack? I'm not really snacking atm - the green monsters I'm drinking fill me up so I don't feel like snacking - I am drinking more water though.
6. Hypothetical: You are required to be a reality show contestant. Which show would you choose based on your probability of success? Probably a show similar to Little People Big World - a 'fly on the wall' type show that follows our lives....a homeschooling/ unschooling/ schooling family starting a business building new homes/ running an IT consultancy....about to get horses....about to build another big addition.....British living in Canada... (sorry I didn't pick one of the options available)
7. On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being uninhabitable and 10 being cleanliness that meets the standards of OCD, how clean is your vehicle's interior? 5 right now - Susie and Sam were paid during Spring Break to clean it out and vacuum/ dust it! they did a good job for me!! With 7 of us and 2 dogs and as it is our truck for going EVERYWHERE and we eat in it often and go for hikes and get in all muddy etc etc - it is NEVER going to be an immaculate car like Lloyds!!! HIS is ocd level ;)
8. It doesn't feel like Spring until the leaves are out and the grass is green!
9. Something that made you laugh really hard recently is The idea of me in Princess Leia's bikini.
10. Tell me about a goal you're working toward. Two - my health and fitness goal, drinking my smoothies and working out on my treadmill and lifting weights and swimming regularly again, as well as my goal of finishing my crocheted blanket - I am progressing very fast now with the granny squares and am so happy with it :)
11. Share a thought-provoking or inspiring quote this week. Every vice has its excuse ready. ~Publilius Syrus (I was searching up quotes on excuses after hearing quite a few of them this week)
12. Name one thing that you do as a parent that you absolutely know will make your kids happy. I wave like a mad woman out of the window every morning as they walk down the driveway and I yell silly things out the window to them...and I blow kisses and tell them I love them as they walk to meet the bus...they laugh and blow kisses back and yell they love me back.
