Alright. So I wore the black dress. Bonnie and I were at Superstore the night before the trip and we found a blue dress that was a little less formal and pretty flattering, but in the end I went with the black one. It was almost a horrible experience, but I got over it eventually. [...]

Tomorrow afternoon Marc and I and the kids will head out to St. Albert for my cousin’s wedding. Yes. I’m wearing the black dress. And yes, I’ve found some good, summer-y accessories thanks to the girl at the Gap in Saskatoon. But, in order to look a little better in the dress I decided to [...]

I must admit that I never used to be a fan of my kids from the ages of 18 months to 4 years. Yes, I understand that that is a big spread of time. What I think it was is that those are some pretty formative years where kids learn about boundaries, expectations are placed [...]

Well. What a day. I’ve never done that before! We were up until almost 1am last night getting things organized for the garage sale this morning.
Part of that was due to Marc having to work late, someone wanting to see the house (at the last minute) at 7pm, me taking people to the airport in [...]

Sorry about that.
I guess it’s because (besides doing about a 1,000 things that I won’t get into here) we’ve been preparing for the largest garage sale in the history of mankind. It’s true!
This Friday from 1:00pm to 7:00pm and Saturday 9:00am to 12:00pm
854 Conroy Place (which is a cul de sac on Grey Owl Crescent)
Come. [...]

Marc is beautiful.
It is Saturday morning, and he gets up (in a Nyquil-induced stupor) to go to the bathroom. I roll over to his side of the bed, open his bedside table and reach for his iPod Touch. He returns to the bed quickly. The phone rings. While I am on the phone,
He steals the [...]

With Luke’s preschool memory book was included a cd of pictures from the year. I was looking through them tonight and remembered again why I had really wanted to go on his class trip to the bowling alley. It’s been kind of frustrating this year to not be able to go on some of the [...]

Today Luke graduated from preschool. Well, he still has another year of preschool before kindergarten, but I guess they just like to celebrate the year. And Luke making it through preschool is absolutely a reason to celebrate. When I picked him up the first day of school and asked how he did, the teacher looked [...]

I went to bed with a sore throat and I woke up with a sore throat and more. It was day two of having all of the kids home, as Madeline was home sick from school again. The morning is a bit of a blur. The kids did not spend the morning watching tv (miraculously). [...]

Tonight Marc and I cleared out the shed, kept the stuff we’re keeping in it, moved the stuff we’re selling into the garage, and took the stuff we’re keeping from the garage and put it in the shed. (Yes, we are having the garage sale to end all garage sells on the 19th and 20th. [...]
