Sleeping...

Came out from putting away the laundry to one tired little girl, who fell asleep scootched into the crevice in the couch, all twisted over... although it was cute, I just couldn't leave her like that... lol

Dirt....

What's with spring that attracts an otherwise 'clean' girl, to dirt?! Shelby has always been so particular about how she looks, liking to keep her hands clean and changing if she is dirty, but since the warmer weather has arrived, I go to get her and get handed my sweet little princess with dirt and sand in every possible place you could think of.... lol... I want my little clean freak back!!

Gardening and Interviews

Quiet day around here... helped the Daddio man with some gardening (although he did almost all of it... I hate weeding.. lol) and then headed off for a interview this afternoon at LHSC. I think it went well and they had already called for my references before I had a chance to get home, so that can only be a good sign!!

Some of the tulips are bloomed... I thought it made a pretty picture for today....

Had to share...

Forgot to add... yesturday when I was picking Shelby up, the treacher told me of a story of her day.. it was too cute and so Shelby!! There was a substitute teacher today... and she was from Lebanon I think, and had the scarf on her head and Shelby started to inquire about it and the woman explained that it was a tradition from her country. So Shelby asked her where she was from and she told her... then she asked Shelby where she was from... and matter of factly, she said 'I'm from home' ohhhhh... Shelby.... what would we do without you!!

Friday!!

No updates or pictures from yesturday... too busy!! Daddio came home yesturday... the kids were tres excited... I think it was 105 days yesturday!! Minus the trip out there, we were for sure missing him, and here he is... home for a WHOLE WEEK!!

We're just hanging out so far today... Shelby is at school and Owen is home for the day with me. He had the first EVER 'I don't want to be here' moment at school today and it BAD! Clinging on to me and sceaming unlike anything I have ever heard out of him. Could be cause Daddy is home... or he just needed a home day... nonetheless, he is home and enjoying playing dressup and watching Spiderman!!

Ventured outside today...

I had a GREAT time last night.. but definitely paid for it this morning when the kids decided to get up at 7am!! Why is it on school days, they will sleep in until 9, but on a Saturday they have to be up at 7!?

Oh well.. they let me doze in and out and layed with me and watched cartoons until about 9 when we started the day. The weather was so nice that we made sure to get out and enjoy it too and brought Mckayla along with us for the walk.. the girls adore each other... I feel bad for Owen though... they are always talking about "best friends" when they are together and he gets kind of upset that he doesn't have a close friend like that so close by :(

Baked today... not kid friendly ;)

It's another friends birthday tonight... so of course it called for some of our famous "cock cakes" as someone as termed them.. lol... so away we went and baked the cupcakes and as a real bonus, we make the penis' ourselves this time!! Should be a great night... specially considering where we are going to end up... there is a theme going here... lol....

Cloudy with a chance of....

Wanting cheeseburgers.... ALL.THE.TIME!

Owen is addicted to watching Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs and of course, Flint Lockwood is his idol... so it would only be fitting that he want cheeseburgers for every meal!

I've gotten creative though, we've had chicken burgers, turkey burgers, homemade burgers with ground vegetables... and tonight... we had veggie burgers and broccoli!! I'll make it fun... but to a point... and there better be some nutritional value to the meal!! So far..... no complaints!

Spent the day with my favorite little man...

I took Shelby to school and spent the morning with Owen.. we went for breakfast and headed up to Talize to see if there were any deals and then met up with friends for the walk home.

We were then greeted by a visit from the in-laws and enjoyed the afternoon with them.. turned out to be a decent day!!

Hello My Name Is.......

OWEN!!

LOL... he got these play glasses from my Mom today and LOVES them!! They totally fit his personality to a T!!

It was also easter and the kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves both here and at my parents... even spent the majority of the day outdoors!!

It's back to school tomorrow for the little lady... Owen is out one more day, but he's happy spending the day alone with me... he doesn't get all that much time where it is just the two of us... Happy Easter!!

New Swimsuits....

We were up and out early this morning... hoping to beat the rush, and instead got stuck right in the middle of it... I think today could of competed pretty highly with Boxing Day... far too many ignorant people out... that is for sure!!

We did stop out early this afternoon to get Miss Shleby a new swim suit as I told them we would head out swimming this afternoon... and she was so obsessed with the suit that she HAD TO PUT IT ON!!! And when I cam back from cleaning the back rooms, this was her... all curled up on the couch... in her new suit... we'll be swimming another day :)

Happy Weekend, Happy Easter.... and Happy April Fools!

Another great day... I spent the day in training and the kids hung out with the sitter for the day. Still not back to daycare... I'm not sure I'll feel comfortable with him going back till next week... soooo... we are going to enjoy the long weekend!

The kids in Owen's class and the educators were kind enough to make Owen get well cards, it was so sweet to see the excitement on his face, knowing that they care about him and were wondering how he was doing. One of the educators came by this morning and dropped off a nice basket with some small toys and activities and all the cards... great job guys... it was very much appreciated and a big surprise and definitely cheered him up!

Nothing much is going on here tonight... Owens little friend Chad met up with us for dinner tonight at my parents and they were having such a great time playing when it was time to go that I invited him to stay for the night. They are now enjoying boy time watching movies in his room of course.... I hope that they fall asleep soon... I still need to catch up from the other night...
