My mind is everywhere these days. -Today Garett brought his Avengers valentines and little treat bags for his class, since tomorrow is a PD day. -I sent Keira's in today too, but they will do their handing out tomorrow, I assume. -This weekend is boring. Tyler is having a musician friend over on Friday night, and he has a gig Saturday. -Tyler gets to stay home with the kids for Family Day on Monday. But as a federal gov't employee, we don't have family days off. -Next week, I am working from home Thursday and Friday, but this week I have been off the last two days, so skipping my work from home day in lieu of being in the office for a day of meetings. -February is my turn to host our "Bearbrook Ladies" night, where all of the ladies in the neighbourhood get together each month to visit, have drinks and snacks and usually do a fun activity. My activity is having two clairvoyants come over- they are doing individual palm and tarot card readings, and facial re...

It was a busy but uneventful weekend. We went to St. Louis for dinner on Wednesday night for Tyler's cousins birthday with a few friends. My dinner never came until the end in a doggy bag. So I chowed down once we got home lol. Thursday was my work from home day, and I stayed home to work on Friday also with the awful weather. Tyler brought the kids into town for school/daycare so we could actually get some work done. I made a huge casserole full of cabbage rolls and delivered it to our neighbours, and the kids and husbands had a dinner play date, while Jami and I went to see Birds of Prey with another friend. We went to Moxies first for a drink and dinner. I dropped everyone off at home afterwards, and was home by 10:15pm. Saturday morning, Keira had an appointment at Cookie Cutters in Orleans. We got there a bit early so she could play, and she brought life to this place. Lots of kids crying, but she was just VERY excited to be there. After her hair c...

It was a great weekend in the Wood household. Garett has been doing exceptionally well at school. He came home Friday with a prize. He also made a groundhog paper bag puppet where he made a prediction about the groundhog. He was pretty excited when his prediction was right- early spring for the win! Friday was pretty tame. We ordered food in and relaxed. Once dinner was through, Tyler went up the road to our friend Rods house to watch a concert in his theatre room, and shoot some pool. He was home around 11:00 and we went right to bed. Saturday morning, I finished packing the kids overnight bags with toothbrushes, and I went out to my eyelash appointment. We left as soon as I got home, dropped the kids off, picked up Tyler's aunt Val and delivered her to my MIL's house and we were off to Carling Ave. I surprised Ty with an hour for us each at Apex V2R, which is virtual reality racing. It was fun! My head was starting to hurt by the end, but it was super cool to ...

I love coming to this little corner to jot down thoughts, but sometimes it just seems like too much is running through my mind and I don't even know where to begin playing catch up. So instead, things are always point form. My brain works in lists, therefore, that's what you get! While I have been MIA since Christmas, I have done a few things: -Babysat the neighbours kids (a baby and a 5 year old) so they could go out on their first date night since baby was born. -Completed the  front hall (with the exception of building the hall closet area), finished off the living room and upstairs hall (just need my  stinkin rug to arrive! ) -Ty started a new job as a Business Development Manager for an eCommerce platform, and is really enjoying his flexible hours and working from home. -I attended a margarita/Mexican fiesta at my neighbours house for the January edition of the Bearbrook Ladies house tours. -Went to a 5th birthday party up the road. -Went on a two day business w...

Well folks, we are in the single digit countdown until Christmas!! I will put out the elf on a shelf x2 tonight-I have gotten away with not having them out long enough. Questions are rolling in from Garett since other friends at school report back on what their elves are up to lol. It was a very quiet weekend in our neck of the woods. Friday: -It was plaid day for the kids, so we sent in our advent donations and both kids wore plaid. -The schools Christmas project is new pjs/socks/slippers to donate. So we went and bought a bunch of PJ's and threw them into the hampers. I like to instill the joy of giving whenever we can! -The house cleaner did her thing, and the house REALLY needed it this week with us all having had a cold. -We were going to order in dinner, but we were too hungry to wait an hour for it to be delivered. We made hot chicken sandwiches with the leftover Swiss Chalet chicken from Thursday night, and warmed up leftover vegetable/alfredo lasagna and sauté...

This week has been a lazy hectic. As in there is always something on the go, and we always seem to be busy, but I also feel we are sitting around a lot (probably because I am getting over a cold and don't want to get more sick!). Yesterday I was working from home, but logged off early to head to Garett's school. Him and I were decorating a little individual gingerbread house, and another little boy didn't have a parent there, so I helped him also. I checked Garett out early, and we went to Walmart to get some Christmas wrap stuff, and to get gas. We went back to the school to get Keira and then popped over to our old daycare providers house to wish her a Happy Birthday (gave her some magnets of the kids school pictures and some framed pictures), and a Merry Christmas (gave her a google home) and we were on our way home. I made a vegetable lasagna with alfredo sauce for dinner and wrapped all of the teacher/ECE gifts. Today we brought all the school people gifts i...
