Getting Ready

For Winter.

As if last year still wasn’t fresh in our minds, a Winter storm is apparently heading our way tomorrow.

Do we have the snow tires on the truck?  No.

Is the lawn furniture put away? No.

Do I have snowsuits and boots for the kids?  Yes, thank goodness I went last week as we only found out about the possible snow fall at suppertime.

Here we go, gearing up for another white winter.  The only good news is the forecast for Friday is a wopping 15 degrees above zero, so whatever snow we get should be gone in time for Halloween.

My Birthday Celebrations

My day yesterday started out fabulously. Each year J sets his mind on what he thinks I should get for my birthday and this year he was on a jewelry kick. Hubby was able to find a sweet little broach that I can pin on my winter coat for him to give to me. I love it. In addition I received a couple of my favourite magazines, a movie and a U2 concert on DVD. And most special of all, I got a morning at the Spa!

Grandma came over to take care of the kids and I was off for some long awaited pampering. It started off with an hour of theraputic massage, then on to a facial and finally a pedicure. My back, face and toes are so thankful and ready to take on the winter. It was wonderful.

Sadly, this photo of my fresh toes is the only one of me on my birthday. However, I did get to play all my favourite parts of Batman Lego on the 360, courtesy of J. And then we headed over to my Mom and Dad’s for my favourite dinner of Chicken Wellington and homemade Cake (that my Sister made for me). I was showered with more magazines, books, treats and gift cards and am all set for a few weeks of downtime should I choose to.

All in all a most fabulous day and best of all I got to spend it with my family.

Happy Birthday!

Shhh… there was a birthday in our house today.

And it wasn’t for the blog.

I may be a year older, but Birthday Celebrations never get old for me.

I had a wonderful day and promise to post all about it tomorrow, it is late and I need to go to bed.
