So hurry up and get over there!!

I am still sick, and frankly, sick of being sick!
Grocery shopping tomorrow! Hurray! Umm, okay, that was slightly forced...lol...but I really do enjoy grocery shopping...I just hope I'm feeling a BIT better. I have no idea if my Mom is coming over tomorrow or not....I'm itching to get my hands on my sewing machine!!LOL I want to start up on some more diapers for Matthew. I want to get going on these and these, oh and these and eventually these!
Yeah, I should be busy!!LOL

Have a blessed day!!

Relaxing Sunday

Discovered this from Adventures in Babywearing It's pretty cool I think!

Not much on the go today, relaxing is top priority today! Daddy loved his special birthday party yesterday. I will post pics in the Flickr tomorrow sometime. Matthew slept through the night last night....almost 9 hours!! As nice as it is that he slept through the night, I woke up very ummmm...full! Thankfully though because of his 'internal breastmilk quota' he's been making up all morning!!LOL That was only the second time ever he's gone longer than 6hrs! Personally, I almost prefer the nursing every 3hrs...don't think I'm ready for him to sleep right through the night on a regular basis just yet!!

Whats on the agenda this week.........not too much!!LOL My Mom is going to try and get out here for a visit. She's been busily cleaning and has a TON of stuff for me. Books, books and more books!! My sewing machine!! WOOT and some other knick knacks. She is going to try and teach Alyssa the steps after you've casted on, so hopefully Alyssa will be able to enjoy knitting. Alex and Robbie gave a hand at knitting too, however without proper instruction after they had casted on, the needles soon became light sabers!!

Oh, and grocery shopping this week...have to get menus and lists in order.

Well, Matthew is looking for a snack and NAKing doesn't work so well anymore...LOL...he figures he should be able to type too!!

Have a blessed Sunday!

Let it snow.......

I knew it last night...the kids were literally running around in circles screaming...WHILE they're sick and grumpy. This usually means one thing, we're in for a significant weather change! Sure enough, here's what we have today:



The temps are supposed to continue to fall as the day goes on...brrrrrrr!! Yesterday we got slightly above 0C. Ahhh, I love it here!

We have another cold floating through the house again. matthew is sick and I am really praying it doesn't turn into another ear infection...I do not want to go down that road again!

Tomorrow the kids and I are having a surprise birthday party for Daddy! I still have to bake the cake. We are also having lasagna and garlic bread...Daddy's favourite meal!

I also...FINALLY...uploaded some pics into the flickr!! I wish I had a pro account though...I hate deleting pics and all the limitations. Oh well, what do ya do!?

I will be buying a newer sewing maching from my Mom here in a few weeks, i am sooo uber excited! I have a Kenmore one right now, but it spends most of it's time in PMS mode, she does not like thick material or fuzzy stuff (like fleece or wool) and get's all jammed up. I've cleaned her and she's had tune-up, but I think she would just rather sew thinner material like flannel and cotton (which she zips through beautifully!). The one I am getting is a denim machine, so hopefully she'll stand up to my abuse! How I would love to get a serger...one day! Alyssa and I have been trying our hands at knitting. Grrrrr, I think I am just a sewer and not a knitter! Which REALLY sucks because I LOVEEEEEE knitted things! Especially socks in funky colors. One time a few years ago Shellie gave me some and they have JUST begun to wear out. One pair is gone, but the other pair are still clinging to life. They have small holes in the soles, but I can't pair to part with them yet...I just wear a thinner pair of cotton ones underneath!!LOL And to knit longies and sweaters....oh how I dream and long to knit a cardigan in gorgeous browns and pinks.....but no matter how many you tube instructional videos I watch, I cannot get past casting on!
I can cast on just fine, but after I make the 'X' with my needles...I'm done for! I can crochet a beautiful chain...but that is it in that department. Hopefully Alyssa will learn soon!!!

Thankgoodess I can sew though, and I have plans when I get my hands on my new machine!!

Have a blessed Friday!
