The Black Dress

Monday, June 29th, 2009

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. [...]

Everything’s Fine. Nobody Panic.

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

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 [...]

My Two Year Olds

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

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 [...]

The Garage Sale

Friday, June 19th, 2009

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 [...]

Have I been quiet?

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

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. [...]

Saturday Morning *Almost* Poetry

Saturday, June 13th, 2009

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 [...]

Bowling Boy

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

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 [...]

Preschool Graduation

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

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 [...]

What can I tell you about today?

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

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).  [...]

On Fully-Functioning Sawhorses & Mouse Pads

Monday, June 8th, 2009

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. [...]
