I will be right back

I know that I should have blogged the day - just been too busy!!  This is one of the first chances that I have had to sit and write.  Today I

• Got up and made pancakes - aren't I a nice Mom?
• Got the kids dressed for soccer in the rain
• Went and worked four hours at a work party for KJs school
• Went to a 5  year old b-day party, stuck around for a bit
• went to Michael's and used some of my gift card
• went back to the party
• Chris went lens shopping for me
• When I got home, I went lens shopping for me
• I bought a new lens  :)
• Bought dinner
• Made dinner
• Went to my friend's Carmen to help get her mojo
• About to watch a movie with Chris
• Did I mention I got a new lens????

Will be back with photos from said lens and lots more

Today I'm thankful for....

• being able to scrap tonight
• being creative, i love it
• my new bed that I'm about to crawl in
• that my time in the rain tomorrow will be four hours (ok, i'm not thankful for that, but I'm trying to be positive)

Nearing the end

You may have noticed that my last entry has a nice sunny picture of my beautiful Kaylee.  Ya - that's from the summer.  I needed something pretty to look at.

Yet here is another one of me.  Lucky you - three today!!

Okay, nearing the end of my day. Since my last entry I have made dinner for the family, poured a glass of wine, did "homework" with the kids, put the kids to bed, worked on two cards for world cardmaking day tomorrow and searched high and low for a pair of soccer shorts I have yet to find.  Oh ya, I had to go back to the grocery store because I forgot to buy oranges and tomorrow is our day for oranges.  Silly me.  So include in the list cutting up ten oranges.

oh ya.....I need to write stuff down

and take pictures!!  Oops.  I will, the day isn't done.  At work I was out of the office most of the day.  We were setting up for the Vancouver Snow Show.  Good to do something different.

Other things accomplished

• bought Birthday presents for the party that the kids are going to tomorrow
• made birthday cards
• attempting to make a card for the challenge tomorrow
• made dinner for everyone but me cuz I'm too full from a late lunch
• need to find soccer uni for tomorrow

Be back later

Just a bit later...

We are all dressed

I ironed my shirt

Breakfast has been had

Need to put the lunches together and get out the door

Too Early

It's not, but I'm tired.  That new bed deal is really comfy.

Runny late, gotta get in the shower and get the kids up.

This is probably the worst picture of me ever.

And now it's night - so here was my day

Again it's near the end of the day and I am running out of time.  Since leaving 

work I

• went to the bank and put my cheque in
  
• came home and picked up the garbage that the dog ate (again)
• took the dog out in the rain for a quick walk
• came home and cleaned some dishes
• made soup for the kids (which didn't go over well)
• ate my stew with some fresh bread while watching the Canadian politic stand off
• in the process of bathing the children (they are fighting tonight, fun stuff)

In a few minutes I will get them out of the bath, read a story and put them to bed.  I love them, but they are a bit high maintenance.  

A few seconds later.....

Ya so the fighting got worse.  I washed their hair and then they wanted to stay more in the bath. Crazy kids.

Later tonight...

You may be able to tell that I just figured out how to change the font colour.  Can't say I have really explored this whole blog area (are you laughing Carmen?) and fight with photos just about every time....but I'm getting it.

Oh ya, later tonight is Survivor - my favorite reality show.  Make some lunches and go enjoy my new bed.  I want to scrap, wonder if I can pull that off!

Thankful for....

Today I am thankful for

• finding the colours on my blog
• remembering to take photos through my day (although missing a large part)
• that while my children believe in sibling rivalry, they believe in each other more
• Chris is funny (if only I had recorded the whole garbage / dog / recycling conversation)
• my friend Carmen is getting back into scrapping
• dinner being ready when I came home
• that tomorrow is Friday
