Life is Sweet

Refreshed.......

Amazing what a blast of fresh air can do lol.......Lloyd finally persuaded me to go out on the quadbikes with him........it was great fun....rushing through the huge puddles and the slushy snow....splashing water everywhere......I got stuck on mine but Lloyd got me out...then we swapped bikes and he got stuck on mine so I winched him out with his bike.....

It was great fun...but it got cold after a while.....well, my hands got cold! So he took Abigail for a ride and I came into the war...

I have been decluttering some more drawers...I am fed up with so much 'stuff' everywhere.....but it seems the ore I get rid of, the more there is :( and most of the 'stuff' I sorted today was from school....letters about this, that and the other grrrrr...

I'm making tea now, making some chicken salad sandwiches for Lloyd for work and then going for a bath before bed......

Have a wonderful week everyone.....wish me look for Iron Chef.......I'm not too clear on what happens next...I think they pick two people from each group to go forward to round 2.........I have no idea what they were looking for though.....it will be interesting to see the results.....

hic

I think I've had too much Smirnoff Ice............

.......and I've eaten too much dinner :(

I feel kinda blah!!!!

more outdoor pics.......

This is me....

This is how I look 90% of the time.....I might make this my avatar lol!

Sunday stroll on a Spring day.......

A few pics of Sam out in the puddles......

Iron Chef II

Today is the closing date for the Iron Chef II contest at www.scrappershaven.ca if you want to check out all the entries then go over and look at the 'readers gallery'....mine are under the name 'dragonfly'.......the contest closes at 9pm tonight I believe....I just want to make it through round one..............

Oooh Laurence just came to ask me if I'd like a cup of tea.....he gets sad when I say no as he loves to make me cups of tea :) buut this time I said yes anyway :)

Its wonderful when your kids are finally old enough to do things like make you tea and coffee or cook supper or do chores (properly) or run to the store for you :)

And now both boys wear the same size shoes as me so if I have t run outside I can just shove on a pair of theirs if they are close by :)

I'm rambling! I'm tired!

Sunny Sunday.........

Lloyd and I went to the Home and Garden show today at the Agricom....we went last year as well. It was ok.......very busy.....thats what I hate about here...when we first moved here it was so quiet everywhere...no line ups, no traffic......now its always busy everywhere.....we wandered around and spoke to a few people about things like our septic system, sunrooms...oh and we got a quote for a swimming pool.....$75,000 for the pool and $75,000 for the roof that slides off in summer....so uh NO we won't be getting that this year......lol!

What did I buy.....actually the only thing I bought was some Daffodils for the canadian cancer society.....a pot of them for $7......Lloyd had wanted to get me some downtown but he didn't get the email about ordering them this year so when the email came to collect your orders it was too late :( Still, I got some...so I have a touch of Spring in my kitchen window now :)

Last year I bought some fake Daffs and had them in a vase in my windowsill....I wonder where they are....I should get them out!

So after we got some free Reactine (six boxes yay!) we came home. Sam was desperate to get outside in the puddles again...so we all went outside and walked around in the puddles...and took Charlie the pig for a walk and Amber came too....although Amber (who had rolled in something that stinks - lovely!) was only interested in the ittle bit of cheese sandwich Sam had in his fist and so spent the whole walk with her nose as close as possible to Sams hand WAITING for the perfect opportunity to steal the sandwich......which by this time was a fist of mush to be honest!

Oh....I did buy the Edmonton Journal which I plan to sit and read in a while...with a nice cup of tea :)

Can I say a big HI to Dawn!!!! Hello Dawn :) the newest person to read my blog! Thank you for your Emails this morning :) Dawn made my gorgeous wedding cake!!!! :)

I am so tired this afternoon...I don't know if it was the crowds or what but I was so glad to leave the Agricom today and come home.......Lloyd wants me to go out on the quads in all the puddles but I think I'm going to just have a cup of tea and curl up with the journal.....

Oh but first I have to upload my pictures...........

spiral bound pleasure.............

I decorated one of my little spiral bound notebooks....with some of my leftover ribbon :)

Samsam..........

Sam just LOVES being outside as much as possible...today we were outside for a while...we bated Charlie the pig......and rubbed him with hogdust which gets rid of mites and also eases itching.....he has lost a lot of his hair.....hopefully it will grow back soon! He loved being outside with us all......I cleared up some of the dog poop but that wasn't easy as there is still too much snow and the poop is all wet :(

We hosed out the dog crates which get dusty from the dogs....

Now I am going to make pancakes because I can't be bothered to cook dinner :)

another attempt at a card..........

Here is another card I tried to make but it was useless and also it was really difficult to get a good picture of it! It kind of folds out as you pull the ribbon.....

Kathy!!!

What did you do to your blog? There is nowhere to comment!! Wah...did yoou hate my comments that much????? Did you click the 'do not allow comments' box? What happened???

You sound so 'chipper' about it being Spring that I wanted to post....also could you resend the recipe (again please) because although I got it, it is on the pc which I can't access now! Gggggrrrr I will be so glad to not be flitting from one computer to the next!
