Oh and look who has enough hair for these:
we are that much closer to being less "follicly challenged" which I don't think is really a word but hey the girl hasn't had much hair the last few years LOL.

Visits
There is nothing better in the world than visits. Especially when you left "home" almost 3 years ago and left family and friends behind. When you get a phone call for your BFF that starts out routine and then she says "Oh ya I'm flying out on Monday OK!" whats a girl to do??? Well besides clean like crazy she (or me) gets ape shit excited as we only have 2 sleeps till the day! WOOOHOOO. So that was my week last week. My BFF (Michely) came out for a visit, and we had a blast. We shopped, talked, watched our favorite shows, had lots of sushi and tempura, and basically hung out. It was awesome. On Friday to cap the week we went to the Family Dance at Kamryns school and partied it up there, I won 4 movie passes to boot. Life is good!

Happy Hearts Day!!
Happy Valentine's Day all! We're just having a quiet laid back day. Kamryn was off to school as happy and excited as a 6 year old girl could be, she was so cute. Yesterday she says "Mom, the principal said we needed to wear red, pink or orange (ya that one threw me off too) for Valentine's Day" Okay, easy enough. So I got out her pink turtleneck and black pullover dress for her to wear. "Um, Mom I don't think we can wear black? she says. LOL, I think it will be ok.
We made Valentine's which she loved, she was like Mom did you make them when you were a kid?? Nope we bought them, I replied. Which shocked her to say the least LOL. I was going to make some fortune cookies I has seen in my Womans World magazine but I lost my mo-jo and sent grapes instead. Either which way it was all good.
Hope you all have a great day with those you love!!

Man it's cold!
Well it seems we're still in our deep freeze! Can I even say how tired I am of the cold?? I mean come on -40's + with the windchill is inhumane. The consolation could be Yellowknife, NT was the coldest spot in Canada the other day. They were a balmy -42 without the windchill! While that was us with the windchill. I bet they must think we are wimps when we complain!
This was out my side door the other day (I apologize for the bad pictures)
While the snow has stopped blowing it's still frigid. Morgyn is loving it as she is getting chauffered to school, it's a little to cold to jump on old Transit Tom. Even Kamryn is getting driven to school and we're talking a 3 minute walk, but with Jillian it's just to darn cold to pull her in the sled.
If there is a bright side to the last week, we went shooping the other day. A nice warm winter activity! The girls got gift certificates from Build-A-Bear for Christmas so we went down. It only ended up costing us $10 out of our own pocket, which is pretty reasonable for that store. It still blows me away at the $5 underwear for stuffed animals, and the $10 shoes! OMG, whoever thunk that store up was a freakin genius!
The other bright side? Today is Friday! Woohoo. No getting up in the mornings for 2 whole days. Ahhhhhh.
P.S. Forgive any spelling mistakes, my spell check isn't working???

Bumps In The Night
I was woke out of a dead sleep the other night with a loud boom/bang/clang sound. I lay there for a few minutes trying to figure out what it was, wondering should I get up? Well then I hear it again the loud boom/bang/clang! With this one I was like "Um, Bruce I keep hearing these odd noises", hubby is of course sawing logs oblivious to any sounds. So he gets up and heads into the living room and downstairs, I'm feeling all brave now so I get up and follow. Piper the kitty does too, she's so ferocious. So we check all the windows, rooms etc and nothing. We go back to bed and Bruce says "Well I don't know what you heard?" A few minutes later it happened again the loud boom/bang/clang. So Bruce jumps back up and heads out of the room again. He comes back a few minutes later and says I found the culprit, here our outside front door was being blow into the stair railing in the snowstorm we were having. We usually keep it locked. So he fixed the problem, came back to bed. "Good sleuthing Sherlock!" I say. I'm glad that he was home as if it had been just us girls I'd have crapped my pants.
Now we have tons of snow that has fallen and blown all over. And the best part, the temps are hovering at -42 with the windchill! Now that is fun times huh! Jealous??

Wow, My bad
Ok I have not been here forever! So I could have a super long post coming, I will try and be kind. What is new?? Well I had a birthday along with Bruce, who btw way is waaaaaay older than me ;-)
My girls made me a cake, how cool are they! Daddy wasn't home so they stepped up! Love them to bits!
School started back and well I can't wait for spring break, heck I can't wait for no snow! Snow pants/hats/mitts/scares and boots, seriously are starting to suck butt! Grrrrrr, yep I feeling a little bit of the winter blah's.
But on a much cuter note, I have a "mountain in my yard" or at least according to Jillian, oh to see the world thru the eyes of a 2.5 year old. Nothing can compare to the innocence.
Now what else?? Well we have been potty training Jillian, she has been alot more receptive this time "woohoo", I also think the Max and Ruby toilet seat has helped the cause. Well that and the gummy bear rewards, bribery at it's best! I will refrain from the sitting on the potty pictures as well, one day Jillian may come across this blog and go "Um Mom, WTH???"
Last but not least I must cover a tag, Wendy tagged me for a "bag tag" so here goes with what's in my bag:
Not alot of exciting stuff, I guess the diaper and wipes will be soon replaced by pull ups and panties. I have pictures of my girls and my BFF in her Nursing Graduate pictures. I always carry hand lotion and Carmex, why they are still in the screening bags from when I took Morgyn to the airport ohhh a month ago well ya got me there?? He he he. Oh and I love my blue wallet, when I bought it my Mom and sister laughed at me, it was totally not something I would buy. Isn't it pretty? I have a great summer purse it goes with.
So that is my bag, so sorry I took so long Wendy. I will try to get in more often, gotta keep my faithful readers happy, ya know all 5 of you ;-)

It was a sleepy New Year.
So here we are a few days into the New Year already. Our evening was nice, we had lots of yummy nibbles. My Aunt and I had some yummy "adult" drinks and the girls had a "special" concoction of their own. We just kinda hung out. My Aunt decided around 9pm that she needed a nap, so the girls and I watched tv. Jillian was in bed by 10pm (no nap will do that to a girl). Around 11pm Kamryn and I talked to my Mom, sister and Morgyn who were all in Winnipeg and 1 hour ahead of us so they hit the New Year 1st. Around 11:30pm we got off the phone and we snuggled down on the floor with some blankies. We all know where this is going right? I ended up falling asleep and missed the countdown, so did my Aunt. The only one up was the 6 year old, she wakes us up around 12:45 and said "You guys missed it, but I watched" LOL. Sad but true story, my 6 year old partied it up more than her mother.
So I'm not really a resolution kinda girl. I'm not much of a stickler to them, so I figure I'm just going to wing and see what comes.
Oh Ya Cheryl (over at Life With Cheryl yes I still can't figure the link thingy) had a RAK that I have been picked as the winner Woohoo! Great way to start the New Year.
