Is spring finally here?? Oh how I'm hoping so!! The snow is gone, woohoo! This past weekend was beautiful, and it helped Project Snow Melt quite nicely. The weather people were calling for rain this afternoon but it's still quite nice out!
We're crossing fingers that things work out as soccer season has started and Kamryn is so excited. She is such a sporty girl and I'm still trying to figure out where that came from?? Not me, that's for sure.
Summer seems so much closer than before and we've been planning our trek back to Winnipeg. The girls are already excited. Kamryn has all kinds of plans of what she'd like to do. Morgyn will spend part of the time with her Dad/Step-Mom and 3 other sisters. My Mom and nephews are going to drive back to Edmonton with is for a couple of weeks. Bruce is excited as he hasn't seen my nephews in 2 years. It sucks when your hubby can't travel with you and doesn't get to come on vacation.
But you know what, next year he does! Yippeeeee.
Bruce switched jobs and started working in the city almost 2 months ago. This lead to him being home every night, a big change from being gone 6 mights out of 7 on the road. Now he is dispatching and not driving at all, which is a big change for him. He drove semi-trucks for 23 years. But being home every night has been good, we're not killing each other yet (he he he we're both really to passive for that anyways).
Anyways off to pick Kamryn uo from school and enjoy the sun!

Spring Has Sprung
Yup these pictures are no joke, they were taken this past weekend. While spring has sprung all over it seems that we had a cruel joke played on us. I'm so over snow, my yard looks like it did back in January but it's April. I guess I know why I hadn't put away the snow pants/jackets/mitts/scarf etc, so I either jinxed myself or I had a foretelling that it was to come LOL.
It's warming up which is good. Kamryn was suppose to have her 1st soccer practice on Sunday, I'm thinking it's not going to happen. Unless they trade in their cleats for snowshoes.
SO here's hoping this will be the last blast of winter. As I said, I'm tired of snow!

Wrong Wrong Wrong
Tonight American Idol was all wrong, but of course that is jmo. But I really do believe the voters got it oh so wrong tonight. I mean Carly could not have looked more shocked if she had tried, she truly looked as if she believed she was going home. However my heart belonged to this guy, sigh.
It started back when they were still eliminating them from 100, and Michael sang Bohemian Rhapsody. He didn't even sing that much of the song, they don't really at that point. But what he did sing had me hooked from then and there on.
I use to like David Archuleta, but the last little while he just hasn't been impressing me. I guess because I heart Michael (yes I'm obsessed LOL. Now what is a girl suppose to do?? I guess hope that someone out there calls him up and says come one Michael we have a deal for you! I would be the 1st in line to buy his record.
It seems as though spring just might be here to stay, I say this with baited breath after the snow we had last weekend. It had to be a good 5cm at least. But this weekend however they are forecasting temperature in the 20's (or 68F). Now how beautiful is that!!!!
Of course the downfall is I have to work. Which I have been doing for the last 6 weeks but just on weekends, and likely only till the beginning of May. We have a Full House Lottery on here right now and I'm working in these fan-freakin-tastic houses selling tickets to some lucky people, 3 of which are going to walk away with million dollar prizes for $100. It's insane. But they support 2 of the hospitals in the city which will see them both earning approximately $3 million a piece. Can't go wrong there. The houses well all I can say is WOW. They each have a special feature 1. a 2 storey library 2. an indoor lap pool and 3. a golf simulator. I wish I could figure out how to post the link but I still suck at that. But seriously google Full House Lottery 2008 and take a peak, it's worth a few minutes of your time.
But I'm going to head out and mourn the loss of my A.I. favorite. Have I mentioned I'm crushed?? ;-)

Is It Just Me?
Or was it weird that the Leprechaun and the Easter Bunny came to our houses in the same week?? I can't recall that occurring before, and since it's not suppose to happen for approximately another 200 years (I think it was??) I'll take it.
Kamryn loves when the Leprechaun comes to visit, she gets a kick out of the naughty stuff he does, thankfully Morgyn reminded me of this before we went to bed. Here are some of his antics.
Luckily the Easter Bunny was not as mischievous. Our cat Piper got great joy in batting around the jelly beans from the trail Mr. E.B. leaves.
Spring Break is creeping up fast and I'm not fighting it. Two more sleeps, woohoo. We don't have a whole lot planned, the girls received an xbox 360 yesterday and I'm guessing they are excited to get some Guitar Hero and Dance Revolution down pat. Nothing like trying to follow a bunch of arrows to make a grown woman feel like a moron LOL.

Where does it go??
Time that is? It seems as if time flies even faster these days, why is that??
My Jillian is feeling better, phew. Almost 2 weeks she was down, and then of course she shared with me. Yay! I love when my kids share....NOT. Well in the case of germs that is.
Explain to me how the one who doesn't go to school ends up sick? How the ones who go to school don't? In my neurotic-ness I always think ok she got sick because we went to the mall and she touched something, some lingering germ? Crazy I know, but hey when she had the flu in December that no one else got we had just been at the mall. Coincidence??
It's funny when the snow melts and we start to fall out of our winter clothes the 1st thing I hear is OMG Jillian has gotten so big. A Mom at school the other day saw her walking and was like "Is that the sled baby?" Yup I said. LOL.
But Jillian has grown, how I know this is when I called the pre-school down the street to see if they had any spots open this fall. GASP, yep I said pre-school!! My baby can go this fall, even if it's just 2 days a week. She needs it. The interaction with other kids, time away from Mommy. This came very apparent after she was sick, which then of course she stuck to me like glue. I started a weekend job for the next 2 months and that 1st day she was miserable. Granted she still wasn't feeling 100% but it wasn't pretty, she did ok this past weekend though.
Spring is definitely making an appearance, the snow is melting. Quite fast too. We have been well above 0 for a week or so. Yay. I also found tulips starting to pop up in my flower beds. I almost fell over in shock, he he he.

Oh What A Week
My poor baby has been sick.
Jillian started Monday with a fever, at times she hit 102.5 which was pretty scary as that was after Tylenol, it was not an easy task to get her temperature taken. She wasn't liking this hey lets put this thing under your arm until it beeps. I had a heck of a time getting Tylenol into her too, I had to sneak it into pudding cake the 1st day and the 2nd day well she had caught on. I put it in her juice but it "tasted yucky" I'm told LOL. Smart kid. We are now left with a terrible cough and a snotty nose. I'm hoping she doesn't share with her sisters, or me for that matter.
I had a scary moment the other night, I had put her into my bed to sleep and I was down stairs and I heard her screaming. I run upstairs and Jillian is lying there just shaking like crazy, I figure it had to be the chills. It was weird though as it took me a bit to settle her and she was kinda babbling and I swear she said "Jillian not dead!" I was like WTH?? Did I hear that right?? I still doubt myself? But it scared the crap out of me none the less.

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!
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.
