No More Shoes! Ever!

That's what my son said to me when I was trying to put his shoes on yesterday. I guess I should have been paying attention to the fact that they were way too small! Poor Kid. He completely took the cake though when he crossed his arms across his chest after I kept trying to put them on and said, "I'm Mad!" LOL

Other then that, the garden is coming along. I picked up some seeds yesterday and am planting spinach, onions and a bunch of other things. Woohoo! It's officially spring!

Was at the park three times yesterday. It finally occurred to me that Sprout's idea about a "walk" was actually code for "park" LOL He is just totally so cute. Sprog for the first time yesterday had a round on the swings. He giggled like you wouldn't believe. Thought it was the best thing in the world! I just love the giggles.

Two Days Of Being In Ottawa! I'm BEAT!

Yep....two days of driving back and forth to Ottawa. I'm exhausted!

So many things have been going on and all the getting in the car and out of the car and spending money. Lots of fun!

Got some grass seed yesterday. Now I have to get my butt in gear and get out there and do it....I'll let you know how it goes. I'm not really a grass person....why can't it just grow it's self???

Most of the yard is raked. Started hoeing the vegetable garden.

I have tulips! They are going to be pretty too! I have eight and I can't remember how many I planted....crap! I thought it was twelve but since I only finished digging them out on Saturday I should count my eight!

A Day Without The Kids!

Yep....so I have a day without the kids. Supposed to be going to Ottawa to meet a friend who's in town but she still hasn't called me back yet. So I'm not quite sure what's going on quite yet.

She needs to call soon or else I won't be able to meet her at all. So, I guess I should call her.

Ringing, Ringing, Ringing. No answer. Great.

Oh Well...nope...there she is....gotta go now!

Sprout's New Rubber Boots!

We got Sprout a new pair of rubber boots yesterday!

Yep...nice shiney blue ones....a size 11! The sales clerk asked how old he was, I said two but he has big feet. She brought a pair of size 6s. Nope, too small. Size 8s, nope too small. She brings a pair of size 11s. Yep, just right. HUGE FEET!

we spent time mucking around yesterday. Literally, as Sprout helped me shovel more snow. We also raked the lawn and tidied up some more of the lawn.

Took the kids for a walk and saw our first Robin! It was exciting. At least I thought so. Time to get my bird feeder out!

Yum! Yum! Lemon muffins!

So...went to the grocery store to get muffin liners - those paper things - and of course then saw the mini paper ones...which meant that I needed a mini muffin pan. Yep....

Well Orin has decided going pee pee on the potty is totally worth all the treats he is getting. unfortunately he's now going about 3 to 4 times an hour, which means I've been running out of treats. sigh....at least he has done it all on his own. As long as I don't prompt him too much he tends to go. woohoo!

I'm hoping in four months we'll have one potty trained and one off formula...that means 125 dollars back in our savings account!

Snow Is Almost Gone!

Yep! I can now see 90% of my backyard! The snow is just in a few places. Of course it's still where there was banks but I expect that to take much longer. Still worried about my tulips, there under about 2 feet of snow right now.

Sprout seems to be doing much better. Still has that cold but seems to be doing ok. No more fever! Yay!

Sprog is now starting to pull himself up, I give him a week before he is cruising. He is so cute when he's frustrated. He is also teething. Jeesh! Just pop those teeth out already!

I'm tired. DH is an ass. That about sums up the rest!

I Need To Get Sprout Some Rubber Boots!

So...weekend was ok. Nothing special. Sick kids, sick mama, not much happening.

Sprout seems to be doing better today. He is more active and ate a huge breakfast. Still has a cough but didn't run a fever last night at all. That means no trip to the doctor today! Yay!!!!

I tried to start some writing this weekend but just wasn't in mood. Wasn't in the mood for anything. Even SC. Obviously sick. The most proactive thing I did was dl a burner software program and get some cds of pics burned. Just in case. That and it makes it easier to actually take them in and get them made into photos.....just so I don't put them on the wall!

Sprout and I went for a walk last night. Bottom line. He needs new rubber boots! Lots of puddle jumping. We still have a ton of snow and it's all melting. So the water is crazy everywhere! It doesn't help that we got at least 20 cm of rain on Saturday.

All I can say is: BRING ON THE RAIN TO BRING ON SPRING!

My Step-Sister is Here For A Visit

Yep...came in yesterday. Nice to see her. Been a while. She gets to see the kids, and have a little break. I get to get caught up on girly stuff and drink.

Works out for both of us.

Other then that, things here a bit quiet. Orin decided to not eat lunch and then to toss his cookies. He's been asleep since noon. So cross your fingers and lets hope he didn't catch anything new!

Sigh....not looking forward to what new thing he might have.

Five Things To Be Grateful For!

Someone started this message on one of my message boards and I thought I'd post mine here too.

Right now I have so much to be lucky for.

1. My children are both still here and almost healthy again!

2. Spring is on the way....BRING ON THE RAIN!

3. The house over our heads, the good food we eat, and the love that has brought us all.

4. My family and friends

5. My husband

That's not bad at all!
