It's Maple Syrup Festival again

We had a blast again this year... and again it was cloudy and cold....

Here are a few pics from our trip today... all we did is eat i think ...

JJ had an exciting day

not only was it Beach day at school with lots of activities but as a reward for raising so much money for MS during the read-a-thon they children were treated to a special guest. Robert Munsch came to read to the kids. Best part he read Up Up Down, JJ's favorite book. He had such a good time. I love that JJ is so into books and reading.

Good thoughts for my baby

No not JJ he is fine. But my eldest furbaby is not. Whiskey has been very sick now for almost 2 days. He won't eat or play (and when Jack Russel Terrier doesn't want to play something is very very wrong) We are taking him to the vet tomorrow AM to see what is wrong with him. I'm worried about the little guy, of course Gin is making him even more miserable by bugging him when he wants to sleep, payback for all the grief he gives her on a daily basis I guess... Here is a pic of my pretty puppy.

Is this week over yet??

man what a week...and its only half over. It's been nothing but parties, meetings, conferences, work.... I need a maid to do all the housework that is being neglected since I'm never home.

J has been a doll though, all he wants to do is play outside now that the weather is looking up. It helps that all the "big kids" are out too and have no problem letting him join in and play hockey with them. The kids on my street are awesome and treat J like gold. I never worry about them when they are out playing. They have yet to get into a fight and if J falls and gets hurt they always help him up and make sure he is ok...

Parties Parties everywhere

Miss Emma had a party last night, and another tonight, then her actually birthday on Thursday, so of course what happened?? the girls got sick... So lets hope they get feeling better real fast otherwise there is going to be a whole lotta cake to eat....

So I've been busy

I had an ECE conference on Saturday, Sunday was errands and some house work, today was cake decorating. I made this Cinderella cake for my niece. Its a white chocolate Cinderella on a lemon pound cake (that I coloured pink). Not an easy cake but for sure a cute girly one.

Had a rough day

Yesterday was a rough day at work, JJ knew this and was so good for the whole night.... He even told me his grilled cheese dinner was the best one ever... sweet I know.

So I made a LO about how sweet this guy is.

Going for teachers pet

Bev posted a challenge over at DSSA to make a LO... She told me I would never be teachers pet due to some ummm sarcastic comments in my past.... Well I bet this changes her mind and puts me at the head of the class. No one else will think to make a LO about how awesome Bev is.

I know we weren't supposed to post our Layouts until Monday Bev but I posted here not DSSA. And I don't think you could be mad at me anyway.

Journaling reads

Why Bev is great... Bev always makes me laugh.. she worries when her friends have not been online...she makes me laugh..she takes awesome photographs..she makes me laugh...she makes fun challenges...she makes me laugh.

Love ya Bev!!!

Credits all made by me with a thanks to atomic cupcake for the chipboard action.

Puppy sitting this week

JJ is thrilled, we get to take care of a friends puppy during the day for them this week. She is so cute and fluffy. JJ loves puppies, although really what little boy doesn't. I asked him if he remembered when gin was a baby and he doesn't...

I went and found an old pic of them together.

It happens to also be my first attmept at an out of bounds pic.

Too bad they couldn't stay that small.

I hate Tuesdays

yep, everyone complains about monday, not me, give me a monday any day over a Tuesday. Why? Monday I have only 1 daycare kid and no preschool. Tuesday... ALL 5 of my daycare kids come, they come early.... preschool grand total of 14 kids come, 6 of them with disabilities/high needs. Today was hours of yelling/screaming/crying/fighting..... and its only half over....

So here is my LO about my year so far... I really need to learn to relax...

So this is spring

It's the middle of march and still snowing here.... I can't wait for the nice weather to hit. Of course then it will probably get really hot and I'll be complaining about a heat wave. Now you know why I love fall, not too hot or cold and no bugs, what could be better??

So here is a LO I made last weekend about spring, its my DH and DS walking along the river near our house with the 2 dogs Whiskey and Gin.
