HOUSE

So our house is finally starting to look like a house! Just thought I'd post an update! We are still looking at a spring possession....it's so exciting to finally see things coming together!

FRIENDS

One of the things I love about Christmas is getting to see people you don't get to see often! Last night we went to a Christmas party at the Boyd residence in De Winton. We really enjoyed being with friends and playing games. It was a good thing Nana and Pappie offered to baby-sit too....cause we didn't come home until 2 a.m.

Here we all are after playing our traditional WHITE ELEPHANT game.

CRAFTY

So 6 months ago...okay maybe more like 12 months ago I went and bought a ton of googly eyes, snaps, and other crafty items to make my kids a quiet book. Sometime in the spring I actually started working on it and then just last month I buckled down and am now almost done. I am so excited. It took me a while to figure out how I was going to make it, but anyway here is the almost finished product.

WEAVE

BUILD THE TEMPLE and TIC TAC TOE

CATAPILLAR/BUTTERFLY HIDE-A-WAY & DECORATE THE CHRISTMAS TREE

PLUCK/FEATHER THE TURKEY & MINI CAR MAT

BUTTON-ON FLOWERS & TIE A BOW



GLOVE

Once I got the hang of it, it was really fun. My kids better like it!





STROLLING IN STYLE!

I have never had more people offer their opinion on any one thing in my life until I posted my STROLLER DILEMA! I appreciate your opinions by the way, so don't hold back...good or bad! For those of you who are wondering...the unofficial vote was unanimously in favour of buying the stroller! AND...the big news today is.....that I BOUGHT IT! I will be strolling in style as of December 30, 2010 when I can pick up my stroller in Eureka. I know I know you are thinking that you are so influencial in my life! Don't give yourselves that much credit. J/K! But really the deal breaker was the amazing sale I found on Diapers.com   In canada the stroller costs $599.99. Yikes, right? In the States it regualarly costs $499.99 Still Yikes right? Well I just happened to be idolizing it once again today and happened upon a SALE. Diapers.com was selling it for $389.99. Still yikes, but way more affordable and so without hesitation I bought not only the stroller, but the second seat which was on sale for $129.99 and the car seat adapter for $59.99. These prices are all American, so thank goodness for the good exchange rate.

If you are still wondering what I am talking about please feel free to check out my soon-to-be stroller at

BABY BRAIN

It's so bad it's not even funny anymore. I don't want to make excuses for my absent mindedness...but apparently "baby brain" is a proven symptom of pregnancy! Either way I am losing my mind. This morning I went to eat my cereal with a baby spoon. Earlier this week I bought the wrong size of diapers. Today I went to return the diapers and pick up some other stuff and forgot my wallet. I frequently walk into a room and can't remember what I am there for. I don't even remember a few minutes later...I never remember. I also appologize to anyone who has tried to have a conversation with me lately. I can't even finish a sentence without forgetting my train of thought. I really wish I could snap out of it, but I think it's hopeless, especially considering...I can't remember where this was going, lol!
