It’s amazing how much a difference a day can make. Yesterday was Christmas Eve, and it was a bit overwhelming. All the kids seemed to have too much stored energy and it was coming out and not always in the best ways. There was lots of bickering and arguing going on. It was a busyContinue reading “Christmas 2015”

Christmas Shopping with Noah
Today I was able to get out on my first shopping date with one of the kids for the year. We’ve started drawing names so each Jen and I take out two kids individually to pick out small gifts for their siblings and have a treat with Mom or Dad. We had some ideas beforeContinue reading “Christmas Shopping with Noah”
Morning Walk at the Marsh
Jen had the day off today, well at least until after school, so we took a bit of time this morning and went for a walk around the marsh. The water had a skim of ice on the top in some places. The grass and cat tails were shimmering with a bit of frost. OurContinue reading “Morning Walk at the Marsh”
Getting in the Christmas Spirit
Today I started out a little bit on the cranky side. There was no real good reason for it except that I knew it was going to be a busy day and I was feeling rushed already. Before I had even finished my morning coffee I had to start hurrying so that we could getContinue reading “Getting in the Christmas Spirit”
Stressful Couple Weeks
Glasses seem to be a common thing in our family. Jen wears glasses for some things, for the past few years I have worn glasses pretty much all the time, Caile now wears glasses, and Alex did wear glasses when she was younger to help with an eye turn. So even though Ella hasn’t hadContinue reading “Stressful Couple Weeks”
Good Company
Over the past couple days since seem to have been drinking a lot of Tim Horton’s coffee. While the coffee isn’t great the company was awesome!
Long Weekend Get Away

It’s also nice to get away from the every day routine for a while as well. Also I may have been spoiled as theyContinue reading “Long Weekend Get Away”
Birthday Weekend
This past Friday was my 36th birthday. The same day Noah had a class trip to Noggins Corner Farm, so I took the day off and went with him and his class. It was a cold windy day but we still had a good time. Every time I go on a class trip though IContinue reading “Birthday Weekend”
Surprise Date Night
Last night Jen surprised me pretty good. She had plans for a while to go to the movies last night with a friend. After supper as I was cleaning things up she surprised me to let me know that it was actually her and I who were going to movies and that my mother wasContinue reading “Surprise Date Night”
Beautiful Autumn Weekend
This weekend we ended up with some beautiful fall weather. We had a bunch of errands to run in the city yesterday and had originally planned on taking the kids to the discovery centre as a way to break up the day. Since it was so nice out we instead decided to take a walkContinue reading “Beautiful Autumn Weekend”
