Sunday Stuff

Well the sun did come out and is shinning this morning. However the temps did not warm up any. we are still sitting at a big fat 0, and with the windchill it is -7. So I had to get the fire going when I got up this morning. Justin went out to the wood shed and split me some kindling. We got the fire going good and started on breakfast. Justin and Jill helped me as Jayne was still sleeping. We made scrambled eggs, honey garlic sausages and toast, Jill had a white hot chocolate in the Keurig while Justin and I made a coffee.
I put in a load of laundry and we tided up the table and got the dishes into the dishwasher.
Justin went out to do the barn work and Jill helped me fold laundry and sweep the floors.
Today the girls are headed back to the music festival. They did such a super job that they were asked to come back today or the Concert o the stars.
I have washed and pressed their white dress shirts and are ready to go later this afternoon to sing Tomorrow once again.

Their Principal is also their music teacher and she takes great pride in working with such a great group of students.
This is HB's last night shift tonight. So I am hoping to get a little outdoor work done if the weather works.

I also received a nice package in the mail the other day I wanted to share with you.

You might remember awhile back I was raving about these great candles I had gotten.

Well a good friend of mine sent me some more of the best ever smells I have ever smelt. If you are able to get your hands on some of these then do, I guarantee you will want to eat them when you smell them.

Slush Puppies

We are having a early evening tonight just me and the weeones. HB is working night shift and it is still frezzing outdoors.
So the girls and I jumped in the Escape and headed to the video store to see what we could find.

We found 2 movies
The Cat In The Hat (it's been awhile) and another new release

Jayne got Just dance 3 for the wii and could not wait to get back home to give it a try.

We picked up a fourwheeler game for Justin or his Xbox. We headed to the cash and seen these great slush puppie cups that come filled with any flavor of slush puppie

We even got entered into a draw to win a slush puppie beach towel. (wouldn't that be a great new addition for around the pool this summer)
We also loaded up on chips and dip,cheeses,and nachos.YEP! tonight is our lazy movie night.

The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow

Friday evening as the rain poured down, I picked the weeones up at school headed over to the far end o town and picked up some Chinese Take out, hurried back home had supper with HB as he was getting ready to go into work or night shift. Got him off and running, got Justin ready for his school dance, the girls got their bags packed with goodies,their DS's and headed to my in-laws to drop them off for a few hours,ran Justin over tot he middle school for his Spring Fling Dance,and headed to the hospital to visit with my Mom till 8:30. 

Made my way back to the school in the dark and pouring rain. Picked up Justin (who had a good time) traveled across town to pick up the girls and headed home. Did I metion that it was pouring rain out and I think that there was even snow mixed in it. 

We came home and the fire we had put on in the wood stove before we had let and it felt so good. We all hurried and put our PJ's on and the girls settled into there beds with their books before heading off to dream land. I too settled into my bed with the new O magazine and was not long or this world. Justin stayed up a little while watching his Friday night show of some logging show. 

The wind blew so hard all night I could not sleep well at all. The rain finally stopped and when we got up this morning it was freezing out. -7 and very very windy. I seen a tree had blown over next to the little pony pen. We put a fire on in both stoves and got breakfast going. 

Today is a tidy up day and just lounge around the couch day or the weeones. 

I took out some Chicken to make a chicken stir fry for supper. Maybe Mel's Coffee cake recipe at

April Showers Brings May Flowers

It has been raining here most of this week. Yesterday and today have been the worse. It rained all night and I woke up very early due to the rain hitting the roof.
I don't mind a little rain but ok this has been raining long enough and there is only so much indoor activities we can do. The yard was just beginning to dry up and I am so excited to get into the trailer. But this weather has set everything back again.
The barn yard is terrible. The horse Paddock is looking more like a pig pen.
The weather is also so damp and cold.
So I am hoping that May the sun will shine the weather will warm up.

School Choir

This morning I attended the Annual music festival,where my girls were singing in there school's Choir.
They did a wonderful job and received 1st place.
They sang some old songs and I tried my very best to record them on my little camera. but I am having a little trouble downloading them at the moment. So for now here is a pic I took.

Jayne is in the back row center(the tallest one there)

Jill is second row let second one in. with the pony tails in her hair. 

Sorry or it being so hard to see. 

Magazine Time

As you might be aware my Mom has been in the hospital for a long time. She has good days and bad ones but has had a lot o good ones or awhile and was doing or well. She was on her way to recovery and coming home or good,and then she picked up a terrible virus and got a infection in her blood. This brought her right down and she landed up in ICU.
She is stable and we have been there or a few days now. While my stay at the hospital I went or a walk to the git shop and came across this great magazine to read in the family room while we waited to get back into her room.

 I can't wait to get a chance to do these projects.

I love crating Magazines but "holy" they can be sooooooo expensive...
