Too tired!
This afternoon I couldn't find Sam so I went off to hunt for him.....I found him sat like this in my bed watching Playhouse Disney! I thought he looked cute so I grabbed my camera - but then he noticed me and so he hid behind the pillow! I asked what he was up to and he kind of fake yawned and said 'I'm just toooooooo tired'. I had to remind him that he was not wearing a diaper - I didn't want any accidents in my bed thank you very much!
Snakes path...
I just loved this view this morning of paw prints (or something) making its way down to the side woods by the pond. This is the view from Susannah and Abigails room.
Last nights sunset for you..
Laurie came running last night and asked if I had photographed the sunset yet - I hadn't even noticed it!! I'm so glad my children know me so well! It was stunning. Just such a beautiful way to end the day.
Susannahs new coat.....
She LOVES it and was excited to wear it to school today! I didn't use my flash last night though so the pictures aren't great.
Ask me a question!!!! part 2
We've done this before lol but I thought it might be fun to do it again. Feel free to ask me something...anything...and I'll try to respond honestly. Actually it has to be fairly honest lol because my parents and sisters and in-laws read this blog so I'm sure they'd let you all know if I was lying :)
So, what'd'ya wanna know???? It can be about anything :)

My Hump Day so far......
I got some good news today...my pot dealer is going in to MASS production - how cool is that??????? lol! Too funny! I wish....sigh......but I think she's just a tease!!!! ;)
Today is a nice lazy day at home....the kind I like. Laurie woke with a migraine and so stayed home. He lazed in bed all morning and then I took him tea and toast at lunchtime and now he's fine...playing with Sam.
Abigail and I played word bingo on the bed for a while - I need to make up some new boards with more difficult words as these are far too simple for her. We then played Go Fish for a while. Sam and Abby played in the bath for a while.
I sat in bed and read my Martha Stewart Body and Soul magazine....and watched the Martha show about their new Body Challenge.
Abigail played on Webkinz for a while. Now Chris and Susie are about to get home as its early out. Lauries on the phone to his girlfriend already - he was supposed to go there after school today to hang out but of course can't. I think I may run down to the mail box..I'm waiting for a few packages and the fresh air might be nice.
It's date night tonight...we were going to A Taste of India but I think Lloyds changed his mind about that lol so we may end up in Joey Tomatoes again...like he says - we try other restaurants and we always wish we had gone to Joeys. And I can have a few Bellini's anyway Mmmmmmm
Tomorrow is breakfast at Esso :) that is if all my children are at school!
Today has been a lovely lazy day at home. Friday I think we may head to the science centre...or Lets Play.....hmmm maybe we'll go to Lets Play after breakfast tomorrow.....
I've been using weights for a week now....oh - I have pictures to add from yesterday.

Tuesday.....
I gave Susie the day off of school today....she had complained that we only go swimming mid week while she is at school...so she came with us today.
I woke up early and waved Lloyd and Chris off - Chris had basketball practice at 7am.......I was sooo tired though and could easily have gone back to sleep but I had to get up as there were things I wanted to do before we headed into town. It was difficult to get up though as Sammy was snuggled into me saying 'I'm just so sleepy'...so he didn't want to get up either!
The pool was empty (yet Millennium place was CROWDED.. a hockey thing going on or something???) and we stayed in for just over 1 1/2 hours. It was good fun - warm...and the kids love the new toys they have there - the slide and the canoe...the paddle boat...and we got a workout in the whirlpool by trying to run backwards in it - sooooo not easy!!!
After swimming we headed to Zellers to get a new coat for Susannah - she found one she loved (it looks so great on her) and has a big floppy furry edged hood. Then we ran in to Safeway to grab a lemon for the salmon and a few other things....including Maple Avalanche Cake Mmmmmmm
Why is it that I never seem to see anyone I know at the mall...but the one day I run in in tracky pants and my hair.....well lets just say my hair was doing a pretty good post-swim interpretation of a birds nest...a CROWS nest!!!!....it's those times that I run into someone I know!
Colleen you looked wonderful today...I'm sure you are feeling tired and huge and irritable but you look amazing! Colleen's baby is due TODAY and there she was doing her very best Jennifer Garner impression looking calm and relaxed with two young children in Safeway....sigh! I'm teasing - you did look wonderful and it was so good to see you and I'm soooo sorry I ruined your childrens healthy diet for the day ;) Poor Colleen had told her girls that Safeway don't have cookies for them...and then of course they run into us and all three of my children are busy munching the free cookies! Oops!!
I was so tired after swimming - I'm not normally so I'm not sure why I was today but I felt physically drained. Came home and threw some laundry in and tidied a little and then Sam and I collapsed on the bed and snuggled and I read to him a bit and then I was dozing while he watched Handy Manny.
Dinner tonight was salmon....we don't eat enough fish so we are determined to eat more....really we only eat salmon and tuna so we need to get more fish into our diet.
They say you should eat fish three times a week. I'm not sure we will eat that much but at least twice. We don't eat much red meat...maybe once a month or so.....we mainly eat chicken or vegetarian dishes.....but we do need to eat more fish.
Now all the children are tired and cranky....well Chris is happy....Susie is happy ......Laurie is in the shower....but Sam and Abby are tired and cranky...VERY tired.....I think I will see how they are in the morning as to whether we go to Parentlink...I don't want to take them if they are tired as they will be hard work.
I have two very happy cats here tonight eating the left over salmon :)
Lloyd is sat beside me filling in a form for some insurance or other for work...we are going to head up to bed soon - yes its 7pm but we're tired and we're going to relax and watch tv and read....my book A Rhinestone Button is so good that I want to keep reading :)
I could do with smoking some pot but my dealer's pregnant and she's let me down ;) lol! just kidding ;) just a joke for one of my blog readers! See if she reads this far ;)
Goodnight everyone - have a great Wednesday :)
ps anyone want a tired and cranky 5 year old????

Crash!
Last night we went to bed and watched the movie Crash. I had never seen it before. Its not a 'comfortable' movie to watch....VERY good though. It centres around a culturally and racially diverse neighbourhood in LA and how the various characters lives kind of criss-cross. The whole movie kind of made me sad and reminds me again that the US is still an extremely racially prejudiced country. It makes me wonder again whether that country is ready for a black President.
On that subject, Colin Powell was on the View again this morning. He always comes across as though he is such a great guy. He said he hasn't ruled out running one day.
I don't know if its because I was in a mixed race marriage or whatever or because I have mixed race children....but it makes me so sad when people judge each other on the colour of their skin.

Wedges!
DELICIOUS!!! Everyone said they were great! I think we will definitely be keeping a bag of these in the freezer for 'easy dinners' mmmmmmmnot that home made wedges are difficult but some days its nice to not even have to chop potatoes lol!
I don't like oven fries so this is a GREAT alternative! Try them!

Coscto wedges...
I normally make my own potato wedges which we LOVE...sometimes I put paprika on them...sometimes a little salt and pepper...sometimes plain.....but today we are trying the Costco potato wedges by Alexia - with Rosemary, olive oil and garlic. They are in the oven right now and they smell GORGEOUS!!!!!!!
can't wait to try them!!!!!! We're having them with a big salad and the children have these mini sausages with theirs...that are Mesquite garlic flavour!!!
Yep dinner tonight is mainly processed junk lol but it smells good :)

How to get a toddler to sleep!
We were getting ready for bed last night around 10pm and Sam started diving off of the bed - I HAD to grab the camcorder! It was so funny - he's never done this before and Lloyd was soooooo NOT impressed lol - especially at 10pm but also because his precious little Samsam might get hurt lol! I just found it hysterically funny! Please ignore all the laundry everywhere - oh and Lloyd has Sams bedside lamp atm as he gave his to Laurie....omg ok just ignore our bedroom that needs a major reno and focus on my gorgeous little boy :)
