The kids bedroom...hmm ya...right...Let's just use the nice weather as an excuse to why it hasn't been TOUCHED in over a week. I really think a better excuse is that we are just plain lazy, and that Jared is back to work and not getting home until 9 at night. On a side note, we got a call yesterday saying our beds for the room have arrived, so that's some motivation to get finished!! B/c we can't put the beds in the room until the flooring is in, and we can't put the flooring in until the room is painted, and we can't paint until we finish sanding. Thus said I am going to go HARD tonight and Sand my little heart away!! When I do put pics up I would LOVE to take credit for the oh so creative paint job..but all the credit should go to Benjamin Moore Paint and their oh so lovely flyers that give WONDERFUL ideas!!
My Aunt Debbie (my dad's sister) was down this past week to visit my gramma, so we went out to the farm Saturday, and then again on Tuesday for supper. Well FUNNY little story, what's a blog without a funny story here and there??
First some hindsight into the story. About a year ago, if not longer Dominic was out at my Gramma's farm and she took him down the lane to this antique tractor they have parked at the end. So he sat on it and Gramma was telling him, and this is the toolbox where farmers put their tools, and lifted up the lid...to a BIG FAT MOUSE!!! She slammed the lid down, and Dominic looked up at her and Said "mama, do you have a gun?" and she said "oh ya i have some, but I don't know how to use them" his reply "don't worry mama, my Dad has a gun , he'll come shoot that mouse!!!"
So anyways, now a year later we go out there and he STILL remembers!! So he first took my dad down to the tractor, "come on papa, let's shoot that mouse". I mean a year later , the mouse isn't going to be still there....or is it??!! haha. They get there, and my dad stirs around in the little toolbox and sure enough finds a little baby mouse. so they "sticked it with a stick". Well that wasn't enough, he then had to take Mama out and show her the dead baby mouse..and they found MORE!!! 3 more baby ones, and the mommy mouse!! So they "sticked" those baby mice too..AND THEN!! brought them in the house.. SICK!! haha but it gets worse. Then Dominic thinks we need to bring them home to show dad, so he gets an empty container from my gramma and they dump these DEAD BABY MICE into this container..well THEN he puts the lid on it, and shakes them!!! I don't know what was worse, that he was so excited for killing mice, or that after they were already dead he wanted to shake them!!!
He tried to convince me to bring them home, uhhh no thanks!
so my kiddos are going to my mom's for the night Friday, and then I was going to pick them up on my way through ..now I am only picking up Paige b/c Dominic is lucky and gets to stay an EXTRA night at gramma's house so that he can go to the "Exotic Bird Sale" they have there. (pretty much it's auctionning off all sorts of little animals and birds). I wanted to stay for it, but Denise's bridal shower is Sunday so Dom just gets to have an extra day with mama and papa.
Saturday it sounds like we are heading up to Carlyle for a quad rally..well I will be just going straight there and my dad will be bringing my munchkin Paige back home for moi. I've never been in a quad rally so I am not quite sure what it entails, but it should be a good ol' muddy time (if we can find mud in this DRY country!)
Last weekend, b/c it was so nice out we got to work on our yard..cleaned up all the dog do-do and everything she had torn up over the winter PLUS put up our new garage door. It looks so so much better now, and will hopefully up our resale value of our house!!
I really want to get started on my landscaping for my yard, but I have ZERO time, I am always running around doing something!! This weekend is pretty much a write off, next weekend we're gone to Dauphin, and the weekend after is Domo's Pirate Birthday party!!
I am also excited, we're going to have a few people over for a BBQ on Sunday!! I love the nice weather, b/c our Kitchen is SO SO small it's almost impossible to host any suppers with friends. So now we can just BBQ outside and have lots of room!! And right now is PERFECT, for me anyways. B/c anyone that knows me, knows that I am deathly afraid of wasps/bees/hornets/horseflies...and that is the one thing I do not like about summer. So much so, that I am cutting our apple tree down this year b/c the bees and wasps FLOCK to it, and make our backyard a DANGER ZONE, as far as I am concerned anyways.
Paige has started talking quite a bit. I think her favorite word is NO. or MOM MOM MOM. haha. She is quite the little daredevil, hardly has a fear in the world. Always just jumping off things, not the least bit concerned with how much of a fall it is!
I watched Juno last night with Malroy and J'rod. It was SO cute. Jared went through Estevan on Tues (the day it was released) but wouldn't buy it for me :(, siad that I could get it in S'toon when I went there!! :( ..so Mallory went to Doan's last night and it was there , so we rented it!! And now I am even more convinced that I will buy it!
My really good friend Heidi, is moving closer! I am very excited about this. Currently her and her fiancee live in Regina, and they just bought a house in Stoughton and take possession I believe the beginning of June. It's still a drive to go see her, but 1/2 the drive that Regina was!!! I can't wait Heidi!!!
Well I am going to go plan the meal for our BBQ Sunday so I can pick groceries up!! Have a great weekend everyone, and if I by chance can sneak my camera in I will upload pics of the concert!!
