And yet more pics...

WAAAHH!!! I hate this thing, take it off, take it off!!!! Stupid Simplicity patterns, the hood is just about too small. I was hoping it would still fit in the spring.


Yes, I still rock her to sleep at night. Yes, she sleeps through the night and doesn't wake up until we get her up. Yes, she's still nursing. No, she's not spoiled.


Kylie's library stash for the week. She took them out on Wednesday night and has read everything except for the riddle books in the middle.

Pics at my sister's acreage.

My sister's kids...don't they look nice?


Well, that didn't last very long...

I''m back, baby!

...and I can honestly tell you that Windows Vista sucks.

It's the new operating system that's on our new computer. The old computer was slow and just not cutting it...and when we got a virus, Scott jumped on the opportunity to upgrade. But this computer comes with Vista as its operating system, and a new keyboard that has funny keys all over the place. So my typing is a bit off...coupled with the fact that I'm scared crapless to download anything right now, so I will hold off on downloading the Google toolbar that I depended on for its spell-checking feature.

The last few days, I've been catching up on my sewing, which is almost done (yay)! I still have to take in my bathing suit, which I'm putting off because I've never sewn that type of fabric before and I don't want to butcher my suit too badly. The bottoms need a new waistband and elastic and the top just needs to be taken in in a few places. We want to go swimming this weekend, so I had better get on that.

Jacob had a couple of friends here yesterday...they are brothers, 2 years apart (7 & 5). One has red hair and one has blonde...and the blonde's name is Scott LOL. He's so cute, I could gobble him right up. But I can't, so I just kept feeding him butterscotch chip cookies and telling him jokes. He's so sweet.

Tonight, we are having cheese fondue for supper!!! Yum, my favourite. In a few minutes, I'm taking Gramma shopping for a few ingredients.

Sammy is sitting on the floor at my feet, watching Four Square on TV. She gets so excited when she sees it come on, almost as much as she does for The Big Comfy Couch. Shh...I like Four Square, too. But don't tell LOL.

Have a great day, everyone.

Argh! (again)

I've got a stupid virus on my stupid computer. Something is shutting down the pop-up blocker in my google tool bar and making the stupid keyboard not behave!!!!!

So I may be off for a cuple of days...maybe that's a good thing. I'll get some sewing done LOL.

...and I just noticed that my flu shot injection site is hurting, which means I'm gonna get sick. Yay. Crap.

Sunday

Well, I just found out that my dear, dear Dollarama will no longer sell everything in their store for just $1!!! Bummer!!! Sure, they'll have great deals on more crap I don't need for $2 or less, but still...I don't need it, so I will have to stay away more often than not. That stinks. I really hope that they still have a decent selection of dollar stuff, especially in the craft aisle :( .

So let's back up a bit...to Friday: I let Kylie have a sleepover, which I HATE, because I like to sleep. I'm not a night owl and love to be in bed by 10, watching Family Guy with my hubby, and falling asleep before it's over. What I don't like is running downstairs every 10 minutes to tell some squealing girls to be quiet, for jiminy's sake!!! So I let Kylie invite 2 friends for a sleepover, we did some crafts and by 10 I put in a movie and told them that if I hear one peep, I'm sending them home LOL. They were good, I'm not sure how late they were up until because I didn't hear one single word. Still, no more sleepovers for a while. I'm done.

Saturday morning, I sent the girls packing by 11am. I figured, they've been here since after school on Friday, it's about time. One girl actually had to phone her mom to make sure she was there...*shaking head*. After lunch, we headed to my sister's to take a few pictures. Saturday night was also date night, so after pictures we dropped off Kylie and my niece at my mom's, and then dropped off Jacob and Samantha at Scott's parents. They had so much fun...Gramma and Papa took the kids to the park in the wagon, and Sammy was passed out asleep by the time we got back from dinner (9pm...like I said, I'm not a night owl LOL).

Dinner was nice, we met up with some friends...two that just got married last year and another couple that is planning their wedding. It was fun to catch up.

Now that Sammy is more mobile, she is much more content to crawl around the floor and investigate stuff. So I put toys all over the floor of my bedroom, and I sew while she just crawls all over the checks stuff out. I've been getting the mending done, slowly but surely, and this morning I completed the fleece one-piece for Sam. It fits well, but for some reason the hood is a bit small in comparison to the rest of the outfit. Stupid, mass produced patterns never fit quite right.

Well, gotta go: Sammy is sleeping for now, which means I should be cleaning up the kitchen before I go off to work this afternoon. Later, dudes :D .

Yarr!!!

Happy International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

Pics. And a movie clip.

My mom says I'm stingy with the pictures, so here's a few:


Sammy, sleeping in her pirate finery.




Sammy got into the kleenex while I was starting the dishwasher LOL. She had so much fun, and I kept trying to get her to look at the camera...but she just crawled away when she had had enough.


Marshmallow roast...when I was a kid, my mom had a gas stove so I would roast them there. We have electric so Kylie improvised LOL.


I don't know what Sammy found so funny...Jake is playing Wii baseball and she is just giggling like crazy!
