happy easter

Happy Easter! How was everyone's weekend?

Ours was pretty nuts. Steven had Friday, Saturday and Sunday off, and we ended up having Easter plans every night so it went by really fast! Not to mention that I'm now REALLY full. You know the feeling - it's the same at Christmas when you have gathering after gathering and you never really get un-full. Tomorrow may have to be vegetable day.

Unwinding is pretty tough too sometimes. Jordan came down with a cold over the course of the day, and at midnight tonight she woke up and cried a bit. Steven got up with her. Turns out she peed her pants. After that matter was taken care of he came back to bed, and then she started calling out for one of her aunties that had been here earlier. I went in to remind her that everyone else had gone home to bed, and was now sleeping. Of course, it's now 1:18am, and I can't fall back asleep. Checking facebook and blogging seems the next logical step.

Here's hoping that everyone had a good Easter weekend - and hopefully you didn't all come down with some nasty virus!

Nope, definitely had a great weekend (got the virus over with a few weeks ago)! Tom and I went to Ottawa on Saturday. I have some relatives there and more flew in from Manitoba. Great food, great company, great trip to the parliament buildings at midnight with my teenage cousins --- the whole mentos and diet coke thing really works!

Sounds like you had a good weekend! I bet living out there you don't feel bad for people who complain about having too many gatherings to go to.

Now you'll have to post pictures of the parliament buildings!

Question: Does the baby in your belly really flip around that much???

Apparently they move constantly, but right now it's too small to really feel it. I may have felt a little nudge the other day though, so I'm hoping that it makes itself known a little more!

dinnertime/breakfast time woes

Suppertime is such a performance sometimes. Why is it so hard to get kids to eat their supper? Last winter I started cooking all these fun meals out of these healthy living cookbooks. There was pasta, cheese, cooked spinach (I love spinach in foods), stir fries, fun burgers, etc. The kids would see a hint of green and spend the next twenty minutes moaning and choking it down. That's the older two. The younger two wouldn't even pretend to try. Eventually I kind of gave up and went back to the regular five dinners that I remake over and over and over and just made sure to serve them with salads and veggies. Jordan eats. Tennyson whines about not liking noodles, potatoes or vegetables but usually we can bully him into eating his dinner. Who doesn't like any side that goes with beef or chicken? Seriously? Not liking pasta? Or potatoes? Or rice unless it's floating in sweet and sour sauce? Good grief. I'm so glad that their pickiness is so individual to each child. Tha

today's to-do's

Things to do: dust. As if. It's been on my list for weeks, I mean, days. prepare income tax stuff. Too bad it's all scattered within different piles of papers throughout the house, garage, back lane, trunk of the neighbor's car. sort piles of paper (see previous). cook carrots and sweet potatoes. Puree into a delicious paste to be fed to the baby and sneaked into my family's dinner. make dinner (or "supper", if I don't want to sound all hoity toity ). Add "orange puree" and "white bean puree" to the pizza sauce. Wait to see if husband notices. daydream of the day when Steven's scurvy clears up. pick up the big kids from school (it lets out in 8 minutes. I should probably go now). okay, going . . . . . . okay, back. You'd be pleased to know that although school let out only 8 minutes after I posted that last bullet, I first went down and switched my wash into the dryer and started another load in the washer. I remember, once upo

two things: one to do with running, the other with my fastly-deteriorating fashion sense

I've started running again. I'm not sure if I ever "officially" stopped, but I only ran twice in August, totalling about nine miles, so I kind of felt like when I restarted in September that I was, well, restarting. This is probably not even blog-worthy. It would probably be better served disappearing into the chasm that is facebook, but I need blog topics, so here it is. I once had a friend (coughcoughangelacough) who said that she didn't run outside because she was afraid that just maybe, she ran "funny," and people would see her. Being an awesome friend, I insisted that surely she didn't. I lied. I have never even seen her run. I have just recently decided that she does run funny. Wanna know why? (as if spell check didn't underline 'wanna') Everyone runs funny. Quite seriously, everyone . I prefer to run outside, because the treadmill sucks my will to live, and a mile or two in I turn into a sighing, eye-rolling teenager, o
