Photo

So..for my photography course, I had to take a picture that illustrated "motion" using some of the techniques I have learnt. This is the first picture I tried. Notice how everything is in focus EXCEPT for the kids (b/c they are moving --playing ring around the rosie).
I have a really great idea, just haven't had the oppurtunity to use it yet. When I do I will upload it. If it works it will be the picture I send in for my assignment.

Good bye Mr Dust bunnies

I just meant to clean behind my couch, but upon pulling it out I was so disgusted I decided to not only clean under it...but to totally rearrange my living room. Little did I know, I'd be rich from doing it!!!




And this is what it looks like now:

CUTE cute cute!!

So tonight I was watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Anyone that has watched it, knows what a tear jerker it can be.

The Mom of the family started talking about her illness and saying it was awful when they didn't think she would live, but at least she got to say good bye to her kids; She got to tell her kids all the things she wouldn't normally be able to do. How many parents (that die before their kids) get to tell their kids these things. She lived through it, but still....

I don't know why but this struck a note with me. And I thought, if I were to die in a car accident or some sudden accident I would not get that chance. And I started to cry....

The kids were still up and Dominic(sitting on the other side of the couch) came running over to me...

Domo:Mommy What's wrong, don't cry!!
Me: It's ok hun, the show just made me cry
Domo: is it b/c Daddy never gave you his phone number???

HAHAHA what a sweetie, how can THAT not make me smile!!!

I hate Winter

I really really do!!!

I was going to leave for Assiniboia yesterday, but I looked at the forecast and Thursday was supposed to be gross out; snowy and rainy. So I made the wise decision to wait until Friday to go...

Now of course I wake up to a cold, blustery day. It is snowing outside, grrr. It is not snowing a lot, so I will still venture out..but it's just annoying.

I despise winter driving, I don't think there is anything that I dislike more. The white knuckled, heart pounding, mind racing winter driving. I hate having to plan trips around the weather. Having to drive super slow b/c of road conditions, having to put up with other drivers that came straight from California (or so one would think with the way they drive in the winter).

Winter means Christmas, and I like Christmas. And winter brings a whole new appreciation for spring and summer. So I should not complain too much.

Stinky

I could have swore that the ABOVE is what was in my room last night with me, but oh no it was just my lovely dog and her GAS. Even Jared's don't stink that bad. It was brutal!!!

Dom the Skater.

This year is Dom's first ever time on skates. He LOVES it!!! And is getting better at every lesson!!! We are so proud of you bud!!!

Here is , at the rink and ready to go!

Messy!!

The kids wanted to color today, which they don't usually do. They'd rather "play" then color. I gave them the container of crayons and let them go hard. This is how Paige decides what crayon to use:



Dumps them ALL over the table ahaha.
