We're still alive...

Hi guys

Wow I seem to be neglecting this blog thing lol. Not intentionally I assure you. We've been a busy bunch lately. Isaac is working a million and a half hours these days. He's working his day job and then working till he falls asleep...on websites. I have just been busy with the kids. So happy to see this snow melting so Joshua can play outside too. Been spending most of my afternoon today emailing everybody I could possibly think of to get Hedley tickets. They're playing in Banff on the weeknd of my bday. Let me tell ya...finding tickets is proving to be much harder than I anticipated. This is so very unfair. If anybody out there has spare tickets I'll gladly trade my children for them...they're really cute. LOL Okay that's a joke...please dont' come steal my children. Wait till they're in their teens. Joshua is still not walking yet...though he can stand right up from sitting. I think he could walk he just doesn't want to cause he likes being carried. I don't blame him. Emilie and Gregory both hand pink eye and very sore throats this week. Poor kids...they were so uncomfortable. Totally kicking myself yesterday that my camera is broken. There's this hole in our yard which apparently used to be for a large trampoline to fit in. It's like 8 feet wide i guess and probably 15 inches deep in the middle. Well while making dinner yesterday the kids went out in the back to play. I looked out he window to see what they were doing and there's emilie in this hole...this hole was filled to the top with water. Apparently when all the snow melted in our yard it went into this hole. Anyway poor emilie was actually stuck in the middle of this hole. Her boot would not budge from the mud. It was so funny you should have seen her face. I didnt' have any boots on so I tried just pulling her out by reaching out to grab her hand...that just caused her to lose her balance and fall on her butt. Oh my god it was so funny. I still ended up walking into the puddle anyway to get her out. Too funny.

Anyway i better go get josh up before he starts beating the wall again

I've found my mojo!!

My scrapbooking mojo that is. lol. I've been avoiding scrapbooking like the plague lately. Occasionally I'll pull out a pic match some papers to it...and that's as far as i get. Last night I finally started putting together a layout...too bad I can't finish it right now as my floors need some serious cleaning once Joshua has his nap. So I've been trying to teach Joshua his body parts. He can point out his nose, mouth, and his buh-button (belly button)...however I think he thinks that toes means tickle because everytime I say toes he starts giggling and scrunching up his toes like i'm gonna tickle them. what a cutie! I can't believe it's almost time to register Emilie for kindergarten. She's growing up sooo fast. You should see her drawings. They're so cute. Lately she's been drawing Lady and the Tramp alot. Totally looks like 2 doggies too. Gregory has really taken up singing lately. Anytime there's a singing show on tv he stands directly infront of the tv and sings his little heart out. This time last year he refused to sing outloud. Well I'd better get started on the floors...ciao!

So I said to myself....

..."if he won't do it as fast as I'd like, then I'll do it myself" So tell me, why do I ever listen to myself????? The bathroom seems to be moving along a little slowly...of course we did have a rather busy weekend. So today I decided to get the walls ready myself. Now i'm covered in drywall dust and tired as heck. Sure takes alot out of you to sand walls. And i'm way too picky. There's a few spots on the wall that I know Isy would ignore but i just don't like 'em so i'm gonna refill them and sand them. I know that if I don't i'll be sitting in the tub one day staring at the flawed parts i should have fixed. But enough about the bathroom...

I went to Kathy's babyshower yesterday, it was really nice. She got some really beautiful stuff. Victoria is gonna be dressed so cute all the time. Can't wait to meet her.

Well this is gonna be a short one...gotta get those walls done.

It snowed in my room!

Ever have one of those days where it's just one extreme to the next? Well I've had 2 of those. Yesterday things were either really great or really crappy. (ie. either the kids were hugging each other and playing my little ponies or beating the snot out of eachother). Yesterday Isaac took half the day off cause his tummy was bugging him and then we ended up going out to get a few more things for the bathroom. We officially have everything to finish it now except a mirror or medicine cabinet. I'm being picky i know exactly what i want now i just need to find it at the right price. Anyway so that was good...great actually. Later while picking up Mike from work I got a call from isaac telling me Gregory dropped our digital camera on the floor :( It's totally unfixable. I was crushed...we use it so much. I'm a scrapbooker i need a camera! This sucks so much i could just cry. I didn't bother getting mad at the poor boy though he felt so so bad. All he wanted to do was take a picture and he had the strap on his wrist like daddy told him too. Anyway so that sucked. Today was alright I was tired all day. Josh was really clingy so it was hard to get much done while he was awake. And gregory oh gregory every time i turned my head he was either doing something to make his sister screech or doing something to make me screech....which brings me to the snow in my bedroom. Josh and Greg are now sharing a room so at nap time if greg needs a nap and josh is sleeping greg goes and lays in my bed. Well today he did that and dumped an entire bottle of baby powder all over my floor, clean laundry, my bed....everywhere! Oy! Sure smells pretty now. Oh great...i just rolled up my rim on my timmy's cup and i didn't win. From bad to worse i tell ya...lol. Okay perhaps i'm a little tired and over dramatic. On that fine not i'm off to bed now. Hope everyones week is going splendid.
