Girl's Night!

well last night was our girls night and it was a blast! we went and watched 'The Princess and the Frog'. there were a few dark parts that i was worried would scare my girl..i looked over to where she was sitting with her nana at these parts and she had nana's hand firmly covering her eyes for her so she was ok. i was worried about nightmares but she had none. i love that she cuddled up with her nana for most over the movie even though i saw her taking nana to the bathroom a few times lol. thx mom for making her movie time so special for her:)
after the movie we went to smitty's for coffee and dessert. the kids also had meals lol. it was a ton of fun!!
now this morning my boy is super grouchy cause i only picked him up from mybrother-in-laws after 11 and he woke up at his regular time this morning and was still tired. my girl is fine but then she's used to staying up later then he is.
tonight me, my sister her bf and the kids might go see the festival of lights. i think the kids will love it!
on a sadder note, my nephew has been really sick lately and i hope he feels better soon:(

darn that boy:(

so...my boy decided this morning to pour paint into my fish tanks and all over my brand new bedding..i was very upset! i had thought he was playing in his room and when i went to go check on him i found him covered in paint and grinning on my bed. ive washed the bedding and cleaned out the fish tanks as well as gave my boy a bath but unfortunatly the paint didnt all come out of the bedding:(

tonight all the girls in my family are going to watch a movie for a girls night. gotta get ready to go soon and my girl is so excited. we're watching the new disney movie so that the younger girl can join us this time even though normally its onlt adults lol

Busy busy Busy

so the last couple of days have been really busy. my sister and her boyfriend got here from BC on thursday. on friday we made fresh crab(never had crab before lol) and that was a fun experience, and of course the kids were terrified of the live crab. last night i threw a party for j's brithday which is in a few days and it was a blast! tons of ppl showed up to play poker. j hadnt been sure about throwing a party but now he's glad he let me cause he had so much fun. i still cant get over how many ppl showed up. i havent gotten anything planned for today, maybe jsut relax a lil bit. i know my brother arrived from ontario last night adn that exciting. havent seen him in a long time. i will post pics of the party and us eating the poor crabs later lol

what a day!!

well today i went to the city to pick up my daughter's pro pics as well as our family pics. i then did a lil shopping and went to see my sister. after leavnig my sister's place i somehow got lost for 2 hours! i somehow went to the airport and the zoo and back to my sisters before figuring out how to get home. to make it worse my phone had died so i couldnt even call for help!! now i am so tured from being stressedcause i was lost:(

yesterday the kids were sick so i spent the night 2 nights ago running pucky buckets from room to room for them and then all day yesterday my girl spelt while my boy wanted to be cuddles. it was rough but thankfully they are healthy and happy now!

i will post the pro pics later..to tired to right now:P

bye bye old car

well today i said bye bye to my ol car. i gave to my church to fix up for another single mom in the church. they just gave me a van that someone had donated to them. i lvoe my new van abd while it was a lil sad to see my old faithful car go i know that it'll be fixed up and used to bless someone else.

ive done a ton more baking and have almost all of it finished. just a few more batches of no bake cookies and im done. im watching my sister's 3 kids at 1 so while they distract my kids i'll finish up my baking:)

ok i keep getting calls from this company in the states saying i won a trip to disney and its starting to piss me off! like leave me alone! grr!! oh well.

yesterday my niece was over and helped me do some bakin with tara. it was fun:)

more baking

today me and the kids started making puff wheat squares:) id write more but im to tired:P

Following in Daddy's Footsteps:)

my kids father is a boxer so of course we're bound to have moments where the kids wanna give it a try. as a mom i really should not encourage this but he wasnt around to stop me(he tends to be the voice of reason, while i tend to think 'hey this should be fun!!' and jump into stuff without much thought:P) so i suited the kids up in his boxing gear for pics and of course having seen their daddy fight and other fights they start boxing each other! it was super cute but most of my pics where blurry. i told them they could only box when they were wearing boxing gloves and then hid their dad's boxing gear:)

my boys turn to bake:)

this morning i decided it was my boy's turn to help me make a batch of rice crispy squares. he had a blast and took it very serious. he wanted to do all the stirring and i had a hard time doing anything cause he wanted to pour stuff as well!

another busy yet fun day

so even tho i was sorely lacking in sleep from being up all night with my boy i still had a pretty busy today. i took my boy outside for some winter fun. later me and my girl started some christmas baking. my family has started a girl's bake day tradition where all the girls get together and bake enough christmas baking for everyone. we decided this year to do all the baking ahead of time and then meet up on the chosen day and split it up and work on decorating whatever needs to be decorated. this year i choose to do rice crispy squares and puff wheat squares cause those are things i can do with my 2 lil kids. today i started the rice crisy squares and got 3 out 5 batches done with the help of my lil girl. im hoping my boy will be able to help me make the puff wheat squares.

some pics of my girl baking

I just might cry...

its currently 3:18 am and my boy is wide awake. he woke up at 2:30 am. after the hectic day yesterday i am exhausted and just wanna sleep. i seriously may cry if this boy stays up much longer!! he is currently eating breakfast and watching cartoons. unfortunately unlike his sister if i fall asleep he will get into trouble...either he'll snoop in my fridge and find the eggs which he likes to throw thinking they are balls, or find a crayon somewhere and draw on my walls or a ton of other things that i would wake up to and not like could happen so i have to force myself to stay awake even tho its very hard to do at the moment!

my girls birthday party with her dad's family

Today was the birthday party for my girl with her dad's family. it was a blast and she got a ton of cool gifts. she absolutely loved her cake and it was fun to see every one again.

Santa Pics!!

yesterday i took the kids to get their picture taken with santa for the first time and they loved it! my girl was thrilled to tell santa what she wanted even tho he couldnt understand her gibberish and my boy had a blast showing santa where all the bird decorations where around his lil hut.
