A Princess, Pocohontas and a Pirate!!!

HALLOWEEN!!! The girls were up early and excited to start the day!! They had a full day with school parties, trick or treating at the mall....and more trickortreating tonight!! Emily was a beautiful princess, Steffi chose to be one of our decendents...Pocohontas and Paige wanted to be a Pirate!! I was laughing getting Paige ready...she asked what I was laughing at. I said...I just have never had a little pirate before!! LOL She even had the pirate lingo down! Steff has been watching Pocahontas and could move and sing just like her! It was so fun to go to the mall. The costumes are so fun to see! It was a fun Halloween! And looking at the loot.....we have WAY WAY WAY too much!!!!!!!!

Cabinetry!!!

It's been a fun and stressful week watching the cabinets go in. Everyday Ive been so nervous watching our drawing on paper transform onto the walls hoping that I havent totally messed it up!!! We are still waiting on a couple of pieces that were made wrong in the mudroom and laundry room and our den is yet to be delivered. I love seeing the cabinets in...feels more like a house coming together now!!

a HEART full day....

For Young Women's in Excellence, I was assigned to do the refreshments. The theme this year is 'Hearts knit together in Love' so what better..than heart sugar cookies for refreshments?? No problem. I guess I underestimated how long it actually takes to make that many cookies...and the girls and I spent the whole day today pumping out heart cookies! They were everywhere! The girls were a great help and at the end of the day we ended up with 120 heart sugar cookies! Im going to serve them with Mary's Raspberry Frappe which is so so so so so good!! It is hands down my favorite punch!! Thanks for helping me with the hearts girls!!!

Loved This....

My sister sent me this link. This is the Britain's Got Talent contest! He is simply amazing and he went on to win the competition. For more of his songs...go to youtube and search for Paul Potts. I had tears watching this. GO PAUL!!!! Ps to watch you need to pause the jukebox at the bottom of my blog... ENJOY!!! Thanks Kristin for sharing!!!

A FUN NIGHT!!!!!

My Dad was in town for the day yesterday so we got to meet him and go for dinner to our FAVORITE place!!!!! We chose the Keg location right across from the hospital in hopes that Mike could sneak away and join us for a bite to eat. However, shortly after we sat down..I got a call from Mike and he had a motorbike vs semi coming in. Dad suggested just signing the certificate and coming for dinner...lol. He couldnt get away butwe dined and enjoyed anyway. It was so delicious and so fun to have Dad for the night! We dropped off Mikes dinner as we left and headed home for some fun games! We love it when Grandpa has business here...because we love having visitors (we did miss Grandma tho)!!!!! When it was time for him to go...Paige packed up her backpack with all her essentials (blanket and cars) and said she was going with Grandpa. She said she would be back in time for the baby to be born! LOL Thanks for a fun night Grandpa...we LOVE you!!!!
Ps I checked for an update on the motorbike guy on the news...no update..but there were also 3 stabbings and another collision that sent 3 ppl flying out of the vehicle and another 4 ppl (7 in total)to hospital...so Im guessing Mike had quite the night last night....

HAPPY CANADIAN THANKSGIVING!!!!

Happy Turkey Day to everyone that is celebrating Thanksgiving this weekend!!

20 weeks...the countdown begins...

I get these weekly emails from baby center. Each week they tell me how big baby is and what is happening with the baby. Finally I open up today's email and it says Congratulations...you are half way to baby!! I feel like I should be nearly done!! For some reason my body is not tolerating pregnancy like it used to. I also got put on 'pelvic rest' this week..due to placenta previa. So now I feel like I have to walk on pins and needles. We are excited to meet this guy and have been working on nursery ideas. We are also discussing names...The girls are constantly trying to name the baby..and we have gone thru all the Harry Potter character names..including Paige's contribution of Voldemort. They are constantly coming up with new and crazy names. Finally yesterday I said...Ok how about if you 3 are not on the 'Name the baby committee.' LOL They werent impressed and are still naming....

I'm the MOM

My brother sent this video today...Ive been chuckling ever since. Just thought you moms out there could relate! Arent we amazing??? PS You'll have to scroll down and pause the jukebox so you can appreciate her song!!
