The storm has started. We are expected to break the record from back in 1947 of 40.8cm of snow in one day (it too was in March, the 2nd I believe). I took a before photo and will take some in between photos to keep you all posted over the weekend. We are stocked up and ready to stay home for the next two days at least.
The cake was a success, J was sad that he did not win it or any cake for that matter, but once I told him I could make him little cake bugs anytime, he cheered right up. And no, I have never taken a class, just played with a lot of playdoh. Will post more details later.
And last but, not least. I have PINK EYE.
Yes, folks, I got J’s maladies in the complete opposite order from him. He started with pink eye, got a cold and then had the 24 hour bug, over a span of two weeks. In less than one week, I started with the 24 hour flu, got a massive cold (worse than his, I believe) and now am ending it with pink eye. Man March sucks.
Check back tomorrow, I may be shovelling the back yard so the dogs can do their business, should be fun!
I can’t believe I went awol again, it has just been too busy around here. I thought I would post some random bullets of fun to catch up on things.
- Starting with cute things that J has said over the past few days. “Mommy, when my baby Sister is born will she be in an egg?”, “Mommy will your belly crack open when my baby Sister is born?”, “Mommy will your belly go back to the way it was after my Baby Sister is born?” Apparently J has it in his head that babies arrive in eggs, just like chickens. And he is very concerned that my belly will be too big to cuddle with forever, somedays I wonder the exact same thing.
- It has been HOT! Hot, hot, hot. I love it. We have been using the pool and J is doing some great dog paddling with his new ‘muscles’ or floaties or water wings. It seems that his fear of the water and pool are definately over, which makes for much more fun for us, except for the fact that I have to go in the pool sometimes when I don’t really want to.
- A’s room is looking good. The framing in the basement is almost complete with the wiring next and the gyprock with be next week. It is looking like a real basement now and I am getting excited for baby’s room.
- Hubby is running ragged. I feel badly that I cannot help more, but somehow mowing the grass in +30 degree heat and building a basement just don’t seem to fit with being 29weeks preggers.
- Dinner with the girls. Myself along with a bunch of other Ladies went out for dinner without the kids!! Shocking and fun it was, we had a brief storm move in while we were dining on the patio, but the awning was good and the night was great. Nothing like a little girl time to rejuvinate yourself for a good long while.
- We have made our final decision on a vehicle. And Nissan, if you are reading, we love you so much we decided to go with a Murano. No, not a new one, we will wait for your Baby gift to arrive in August. But, we are thankful that your Murano offers a huge backseat that we can comfortably fit five people, with two carseats (yes, thanks Brian for being so patient while we moved carseats in and out of the vehicle). And as an added bonus the backseats also recline! We were really flipping between the Quest and the Murano, but the Quest available was a basic package and the seats were a not so nice cloth, and truthfully ranked in comfort with our ’91 Ford. So Murano it is! And quite frankly, I am not a huge van person, I would rather an SUV anyday. And this one matched my colouring much, much better than the van.
So, this has been our week since the Sens lost the cup. Not too exciting for everyone, but lots of excitement around here for us. What on earth are we going to do while on vacation at the beach? It just won’t seem right to have a week with nothing to do but watch the waves.
