Danger flag!

Darren was told he had high cholesterol a couple of months ago. Thankfully I am married to a man that can see when a danger flag is waving in his face. Darren made the changes he needed to do and he is now back to normal for cholesterol. Good job honey!

Here is another picture from Jade's school project. It was a fun group of pictures beacuse they had such a great time.

Here is the link to Darren's blog and his secrets to fixing his cholesterol.

Pictures from Darren's last competition

Big kisses

Who new chanting "Socks away, socks away, time to put your socks away" would actually work. I know it seems kinda odd that this would be a highlight of my day but trust me whenever you have your crazy two year old actually listen to you, you do a jig! I was so ready to get Nate down for nap today...once his socks were finally away (he decided to empty out his sock drawer and throw the contents). After our chanting song Nathan got into bed and said "I want big kisses!!"
Ok it's worth it.

Above are some pics from Darren's last competition. Looking good!

Reconnecting.

I have discovered facebook. Fun, fun! It definitely is a time sucker but it is very interesting to reconnect with old friends. I was thrilled to get in touch with my old friend Shelley from grade school. I have not spoken to her in over ten years! She looks just the same and is living a life just like what I imagined she would be. I am so glad things are going well for her. It is definitely a highlight to reconnect.

New hat!

How cute is underwear worn as a hat? Very cute if you are a parent of a two year old. At this point it is the only use he finds for his underwear. This blog is about things that make me smile and this picture is definitely one of them.

Weekend activities

Amazing how fast the weekend flies by especially when you have a good one. Friday night we had dinner with the McKee's and Donaldson's. It is always nice to get together with them and hear all the new shocking gossip.

Saturday Joanne came over. She helped Jade make some apple pies for her pioneer school project. In the evening more family came over and we celebrated Joanne's birthday. Darren smoked ribs and sausages and they were great. Joanne is a big rib fan and voted them her favourite EVER!!!! Good job Darren. Saturday night ended with watching the Ottawa Senators win the hockey game. Very exciting!

Sunday Jade and I spent some girl time shopping and planting her garden. Jade picked out her plants and got some really neat things. It will be interesting to see how everything turns out. Later in the afternoon we got together with some friends and headed to the Pub for supper and then to the spa. We got caught in the storm but it was pretty fun being in the hot tub in the down pour. It was a jammed packed weekend, just the way I like it in the summer.

A small commotion this morning. We saw a skunk running through a front yard with a bottle stuck on his head. In hot pursuit was a grey haired, kind hearted British woman. The woman was able to trap the skunk and we called the humane society emergency. I was very impressed by the brave lady...after all we are talking about a skunk. She was very calm, care full and kind. Definitely someone with a good heart for animals.
