Week #8 ~ It's Mine! It has my name on it!

A few weeks ago we were at my parents house. And sure enough my mom made a point of saying that if she licked something it was hers.. in turn my oldest licked a loonie and said it was his. I explained we aren't a "licking" family, more of a name family. And now, most of our stuff has a K or Q on it since we have alot of doubles.

When the boys went to school this week I noticed the ball on the table... I guess it's Quinton's ball now!

Week #7 ~ A Blast From The Past

This week I had the boys do something I used to do ALL the time when I was younger... we had twizzler straws! The boys loved it!

Week #6 ~ Ummma....

I have this bad habit. And this incredible husband! See... when I want something I walk up to Arnold, put my arms around his waist and say "ummmma....". And he knows. He just knows! I'm always surprised how he catches on but I guess that's what happens when you have been together this long!

My "ummma" moments have been things like a doughnut from Tim's, a milkshake, and his favourite one to quote is "a score blizzard with an extra shot of caramel".

Last week I had the doughnut one. And this week I was craving twizzlers. I even planned on buying them when I went out to get groceries but I never did. So hubby bought me some on Monday night. Isn't he nice? He dropped me off at aqua fit, filled up the tank with gas, and brought me back the car. When I got in after aqua fit there was a full tank of gas and twizzlers on the seat beside me. I love that man.

Here are my "ummma"s:

Week #5 ~ New Shoes

Last week I got new shoes and I finally got a chance to head out and go for my first run of the year. Before I did I took pictures of my new shoes, and I'll fully admit my favourite part was this one:

Week #4 ~ Happy Birthday! And a bonus!

On Sunday we headed out to Cambridge right after church to see my sister and celebrate her birthday. We got her a Gift Card to go with her Kindle that she got for Christmas. The boys coloured the picture the morning before we left for church... and I do mean all the boys:



The Bonus:

Jack's First "real" interview in Toronto.. off he goes:

Week #3 - Lights and footprints

We got snow this week. I love snow, like more than I ever thought I would. It's great. I love taking photos in the snow. Everything seems so clean and clear.

I did take a few photos outside and here is my semi favourite one:



And a bonus... while I was outside there was no snow on the ground, and as I always I ran out the front door with nothing on my feet. The next day when it snowed a bit I got these:

Week #2 - Cupcakes!

We had some friends over today for a bit of free time for their mom. We chilled out and decorated our own cupcakes! What a fun time! Here's a picture of one of the cupcakes, doesn't it look yummy?

Week #1 ~ Happy National Tinfoil Day!

Between Christmas and New Years, way back when my sister was little, so YEARS ago :), my mom forgot did her cleaning from Christmas. She found a gift that belonged to my sister but wasn't given to her. She had forgotten in. Every since they she has always found one gift that was forgotten to be given. Each year, since we have run out of Christmas paper, that gift is wrapped up in Tinfoil and presented to that person (along with a gift for everyone else) on Jan 1st. The challenge is to guess whose gift you forgot to give.

To this day we still do it. I have continued "National Tinfoil Day" in my house now for a few years. I love it!

This year, not only did Jan 1st bring National Tinfoil Day but it also brought Uncle Jack. Uncle Jack moved in with us in hopes to have fun with the kids, but also find a new job. We really hope he is successful quickly! I'm sure he would love to have a job soon. Next week we begin "Boot Camp" for applying for some jobs!

Anyway.. back to the picture. Here is Uncle Jack with his National Tinfoil Day gift:

52 pictures in 52 weeks

This year I'm going to go a bit easier on myself! I'm going to try for 52 pictures in 52 weeks. And hopefully provide a bit of background on the photos! So here we go!

Happy New Year!!
