Being Girlie

Yesterday morning Ava and I did our hair together, it was so nice to share some girlie time with her and our hair looked gorgeous :)

It's a Start

Ok I maybe should have thought a little harder about the best time to start this goal of mine....

Yes Jen, it is the perfect time to add a little more.
You're already busy packing and keeping life here above water
lets add being creative to that shall we.
and damn it Jen do it well,
people will be reading....
ha haI never promised quality...
that will be my next goal :0)

So now that the pressure is off, our house is torn apart. We are in the final stretch where we are doing the last of things. Last night was the last night of gymnastics, tomorrow will be the last day of school and Ant will leave for work for the last time from this house. I have to say I am so relived to be moving into bigger house. This house was small.... for us. It is really cute, and maybe if there was a walk out to the backyard or the kitchen was setup differently I wouldn't have noticed how small it was. I can't tell you how many times I ran into the kitchen chairs ouch....

things that I loved about living here

1. the kids school is partial french immersion, so their lessons were taught in french every other day.
2. gymnastics for the kids, they all loved it
3. watching the kids in swimming and ski lessons
   
4. living in a city, it was really nice to be able to run out and get something we forgot for dinner and it not take half an hour
5. how much my bambinos have grown and changed
6. a time to reflect on what I want to do next (and I'm so excited people!!!!!)
7. finally being able to solve our sock basket problem (I threw them out mahaha)
8. the red fence (I'll write a picture post of that one soon)
   

I will update this as things come to mind, but for now there is an empty box calling my name.

Boring

I'm losing it or it's been lost for a while and I'm just noticing.
I'm guessing the later.
I can no longer communicate with others.
My spelling has always been horrible, but now I can't even put together a full sentence without error. Sometimes, my sentences doesn't even make sense. This is something I need to work on because if not my children will surpass me in ability before they even reach the first grade.

Not only am I unable to communicate properly I have nothing to say.
I am about as interesting as a...
well nothing comes to mind really.
SEE!!!!
that's the problem Boring/Blank either way you put it no one can talk to me for very long before they
FALL_A_SLEEP


Things are about to change in our lives again, we move in two weeks.
What I didn't mention that here????
SEE!!!!!!
Lack of communication!!!!!

My goal is to write a story here twice a week. Hoping that it helps rehabilitate me a little, you know helps me practice how to think again and stuff.
I'm even going to up the anti a little bit..... my goal is to actually do it for more then just this week. I want to do it for the summer. Two posts a week for the whole summer.

Seeing as posting about how boring I am is actually BORING.
I'll start with this....

The kids have homework every night. Sometimes it is simple, sometimes well... not so much. This past month has been more about drawing and less about writing letters and numbers, so we are having a lot of fun with it.

Home work: Draw a picture of someone in your family

Ava picked her Dad
Ethan picked me... is it just me or do I look a little frazzled?

Every time I look at these I smile
I just can't help it
I love it!!!!

Happy Mother's Day

this year trying to convince the kids to take our

mother's day photo
was challenging to say the least

so we made it a game
starting from the opposite side of the room
we all had to run and get into position
before the camera took the picture
it took a couple of tries
but it was lots of fun

to see the previous years
2007/2008

2010

You are my sunshine

I feel this way every spring as the warm sun starts to shine.
We are all in love with the song right now
singing sunshine over and over again
makes me smile

There is always a silver lining

I have a pet peeve.

I'm sure I'm not the only one.
The laundry basket of lone socks that lives in my living room.
Ant and I have argued over this very laundry basket a number of times
Maybe because only one of us knows how to match up a pair of socks
or possibly there is a discrepancy on the exact location best suited for the basket to live
Or lets face it because said basket annoys the hell out of everyone involved
At any rate, somehow this basket of lone socks
seems to be a permanent fixture in my living room
so today I made it a happy place to nest my camera and look what happened
I love silver linings

Ethan totally bailed on us to get a head start on soaking up the sun,
we soon followed and headed out for a nice picnic at the park.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
