a little of this, a little of that

Okay, I seem to be under some fire and scrutiny. I seriously plan on blogging again. Someday. Maybe tonight! There have been some things come and go and I've kind of missed them. Steven's grandparents were here the other night and I wanted to take a picture of them with the kids, but I forgot. The other day I was going to bring Chili over to Jan's restaurant and take a picture of the group there and post about it, but they came here instead because the restaurant is still kind of a mess [for those who don't know, it's not a "dirty restaurant" it's a restaurant under construction. she's opening anew, and redoing everything inside first. more on that later.], Jan and I got our brows waxed and it was a very eventful and entertaining time, but I have to make sure she doesn't mind if I stick that on here, etc. Wouldn't want to embarrass anybody! Well, maybe just a little.

What else?

Steven's cousin Estelle had her baby yesterday. After three girls, they got their boy! Seth Warren Caillier. It gives me pause to think that maybe, just maybe Ange will have a girl this time. I was kind of thinking she was just having boys. Not that it matters Ange! We will love your baby no matter what, and we know you don't care what it is!

Going to take the kids trick or treating tonight. Grandpa and Grandma Doris are coming in too to see the kids in their costumes and help with handing out candy, taking the kids out, or just keep us entertained! I'll seriously have to take a picture of their costumes.

Speaking of which, Jordan has a dragon costume. This is her 3rd Halloween with this costume and she's bound and determined to wear it. We also have a kangaroo costume. It's a lot bigger than the dragon costume, and we'd like her to wear that one so Tennyson can be a dragon this year. Otherwise he has no costume. She is a little angry.

Wanna know what else makes Jordan angry? Yesterday I picked Jamin and Jordan up from nursery school. Somehow we got talking about birthdays or age or something, and I said that Jamin was going to be four soon. Jordan wants to be four too. I told her that she wouldn't be four until after winter and that Jamin was older than her - he would be four first. I'm just driving along and I happen to look in the rearview mirror. Jordan was sitting there with her arms crossed, her eyebrows furrowed, and with the angriest face ever. When asked if she was pouting she said: NO. I'M MAD. "Why are you mad?" "Because I want to be four first." Not much I can do about that one. It was funny.

Okay masses, let that hold you over for a little while!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Jordan is so funny! I had to laugh too when I dropped them off at school! She told Jamin that her mommy said that he had to call his mommy, mommy. Made me laugh. For those of you who don't know, Jamin calls me mom, not mommy.

No, my secret alias is not Mia. MIA = missing in action. I have been avoiding posting on here. Why? Because I don't have a ton of stuff to write about. Also, I've discovered that my blog is being followed by a couple of people I'm not related to. Although I'm super excited about it, I'm also a little intimidated! Sounds silly, I know. Hear me out. You know how you can be a teenager (I'm not a teenager, we're just being hypothetical) and have big thick coke bottle glasses, zits all over your face, big baggy pants and a baggy sweatshirt hiding the rolls hidden underneath and a perm that went very very wrong and is now only curly on ONE SIDE and your mom still tells you you're beautiful and she'd love to trade faces with you? You know how that feels? You don't have to question it too much, because she's your mom and you know she's probably a little biased. Blogging is a little like that. Until now, only my friends have read my blog. I coul...

christmas time's a coming

Only 23 days until Christmas! Remember when we were kids, and Christmas was all about time off school, lots of treats (chocolate, candy canes, oranges, turtles!), new Christmas dresses for the church concert, lights, music, decorations, noisy and exciting gatherings at Grandma's house, Christmas episodes of our favorite tv shows and of course presents! The list goes on and on. I still find Christmas exciting. Yet, now the season holds more than just the "fun" stuff. Now we have to worry about scheduling in all the different families and parents, buying gifts we can't necessarily afford, making dishes to bring to the different gatherings, hoping that people will understand that we need to share the holidays with many others, and hoping that nobody will be hurt if our time with them is short. I wonder if I'm doing a good job of making the holidays fun and enjoyable for my kids, and if I've bought the right gifts. I worry about what five days in a row of late ni...

the snowsuit

I really must go back and tell you about . . . duhn duhn duh . . . the snowsuit . I've most certainly kept you in suspense far too long. Remember last winter when there was no snow, but it was still cold enough to freeze puddles and require kids to wear winter clothing? Good, we're caught up. Jordan is really hard on outerwear. Last year she destroyed a pair of skates, lost various mitts and tuques, shredded her first pair of winter boots and left her snowsuit looking like swiss cheese. The boots and snowsuit were done before Christmas. I made her wear the snowsuit for the rest of winter anyway and the boots I replaced after Christmas. It's amazing that a six year old child can ruin a rather expensive snowsuit in a few short months. I blame mother nature. Mother nature thought it would be funny to make it cold and icy out without actually giving us snow. Of course children want to run and drop to their knees or tummy on frozen puddles and slide to the other side. Of ...
