March Break

It had been a few days since I last blogged and have so much to catch you all up on. We are finally have some warmer weather and are finally caught up on snow shoveling.
Last week the girls had a Expo at their school for their enrichment section that they did.( It is when they out some thing they would like to join and they go to these classes once a week for six weeks. There are all different things,like pottary, animals,scrapbooking,cooking, music, crafts, and geo cashing.) Jayne was in cooking and Jill music. THey enjoyed it and both learned a few new things. They got to show me what they learned at the expo.

Jayne looks pretty neat with those Chef hats they gave all the little cooks.
She was selling Banana choc.chip muffins at the expo that they had made that morning.

Jill was setting up her program in which she learned all her keyboarding skills.

She loves music and her teacher told how much she really enjoyed this class.

We are on our annual March break this week.So it has really been a mixed up tossed up week.

We are almost done our March break, and have got a lot done this week. We spent the beginning of the week Spring cleaning the upstairs. We all worked very hard taking everything out of our drawers,and washed everything done. Washed the walls, lights,and went through our closets. We also made some changes in Justin's room and he loves it.(I will post some pics on it a little later this weekend)
Jayne and I worked at taking the border off her walls so that I can paint early next week,or maybe even on the weekend.
HB is loving his new job. He is tired as it is hard getting back into the routine of 12 hours shifts again. He is also working in training so it has been 5, 12 hour shifts for 2 weeks. Yesterday he got sent in for a meeting in the offices and they want his to take a hire posting as he is well over qualified. It will be a staff job. He is happy and will give his disision today. He is also hoping to be off tomorrow and we decided to go to the city and take the weeones to a movie. We usually do something for March break and this year well with the whole new job thing we did not get to. So it will be nice.
We are expecting more rain for the weekend. At least it is not snow. I think the only one around that is not Happy to see Spring come is our Pig.
This weekend is the time change so it will make our days longer. YEAH!!!
So have I been crafting.........
Well not to much. I have some beautiful new fabric I got from EBAY. I also ordered more and am planning a whole lot of sewing for Spring. As soon as I am done Jayne's room I am going to get at it. My sewing machine is still sitting out on the island. (The tension is off set and Hb needs to set it before I can continue anymore) It seems that every time I put my sewing machine away and take it back back out I go through the same thing. HUMMM!!!!
Well I should go and finish up my laundry. Take care and I wish you all a great day.

Snow storm hits us hard! AGAIN!

Yep it has found us once again. 60 cm's and freezing rain. What a storm. What a way to start the March break.
Justin and my parents left yesterday before the storm out of town as my Mother had a Doctor App. tomorrow morning. HB still is not home from work, and the girls and I used the day to house clean the whole upstairs.
We had not lose our power but there are a lot of homes that have.
We are hoping for a nice and bright day tomorrow.

MARCH IS NATIONAL CRAFT MONTH

I have so many projects on the go and so many more to start. I will be posting a lot of Crafting projects throughout the month of what we are doing. I hope you all join in and craft for the month of March. I can't wait to see what projects you all are up to. Please let me know and I will be sure to check them out.
HAPPY CRAFTING!

My only boy turns 13 "Part 2"

Well Justin is now my teenage boy. (I wonder if I can still call him my weeone.) I just can't believe how fats they grow up,before long he will be graduated.

Justin had a good Birthday. It was quite and my parents came over for supper,which Justin wanted Manwich. We had hamburgers and he had his manwich.

Can you believe it after everything he could have chose for me to make........

But he enjoyed everybite

After Supper he opened his gifts from us. His Grandparents all gave him money as he is going away next with my parents out of town so he will have spending money.

                                                            He got this new T-shirt

                                                 And his favorite magazine about hunting and fishing

Then it was time for cake..........

I made the cake and bought a skidoo play set at the store awhile back to decorate the top. The candles were kinda neat too. They lite the flame the same color as the candle itself.(dollarstore find)

All in all I think it was a good time. Everyone enjoyed themselves and they all loved the grape soda I sereved as well with supper. Even Hayden and Sophie came to the party.

My only boy turns 13

Yesterday the temps really warmed up from -20 in the morning to a high of 0 in the afternoon.
Jayne got up with a headache yesterday so she stayed home for the day with me. She spent most of the morning just lazying around and playing on her computer after feeling a bit better. She also decided to take a look into and gather up her sewing notions as she found this little old sewing box at the thrift store a couple weeks ago for .25 cents.

She found a few threads inside and began digging out her things. She has not yet finished but has moved everything into a laundry basket in her room.

Jill came home from school and dug out her new coloring book, she had gotten the last time we went to Wal-mart. It is a giant one and she uses those lovely coloring pencils that she had got for her Birthday. She really loves to color and these big ones are really great.

Of course she got it in Tangled as they just can't wait for it to come out on video. The girls love Rapunzel, so this will be even better.

I love that little guy, that is her best friend. His name is "Pascel" to cute! (Jayne has the new webkinz cameleon    
named Pascel and you will meet him soon)

So after supper we went out for a walk and to play abit as it was so nice out. (It was nice for a change to do the barn work and not freeze) then we came in and the weeones took their baths. Jayne worked more on her sewing box and Jill decided to make some changes in her room. She has just in a old school desk that HB brought home from work awhile back and it has been housed in my living room ever since.(Like my living room was not small enough without that in there) So Jill declared it and we moved it into her room. She has this little nook in her little room due to the stairs being right under her. So it fit in there without a inch to spare.
I will post more about it on Friday.
Today the weather is snapping cold it dropped down to a freezing-30 throughout the night and will stay there all day.(and we wonder why we get sick,hummm! 0 to -30) It is also very windy out and it blew so hard all night.
HB starts his shifts today. He left at 5 this morning, and will be home around 6:30 tonight. (Makes for a long day) He is on day shifts for a couple of days and might even get the weekend off,as he needs to get into his regular shift next week. They work 2 days, 2 nights, and 4 off.

TODAY MY ONLY BOY TURNS 13!
wow where has the years gone. I will bake a cake today,and can you believe it he wants manwich for supper as it is his favorite. HAHA!
So manwich it is!
I bought his a shirt for his birthday and tomorrow I will post all about his special day!

Tonight the girls have there guiding group and it is going to be sooooo cold to go there but........ gotta go as they are working for a new badge.
Well I should go and start breakfast as the weeones willl soon be getting up. Take care and I hope it is warmer in your parts of the country then mine.
Here is a cute picture of Molly on the lawn I took yesterday afternoon.

Someone should let the groundhog know to look into his predictions better

WOW MARCH ALREADY!!!!
We have had nothing but cold weather and snow with wind for a week now. Friday we had another storm,and again on Monday. The weeones had their first snow day of the year Monday. (Which they really should have had about 10, but that's a whole other story) anyhow, I am so sick of shoveling off roofs,steps,and doorways. I have had enough!
Yes it is not over yet as we are seeing more tomorrow and at the end of the week again..........

This is what I see when I open my front door. yep that's my 6 1/2 foot lamp post there buried in the snow.Well that's what is left to it anyway.

And when I look out the window this is what I see. 

OK enough about me complaining about the snow,as it is here to stay for a while longer. So I have made the best out of it by moving into the fiber studio in the barn. Cleaning and catching up with my spinning projects.

Oh I need more days of this.......

Saturday the girls penny circus day for their guiding group was cancelled till after March break,due to the storm. They did however go to their friends Birthday party at the pool in the city, and we had a ball. It is Jayne's best friend's party so Jayne got to sleep over at her place after that.

The highlight of the party was this new thing for the pool. It is called a hammerhead,and the children run or crawl and try to get to the end without falling off. 

Can you make out Jayne trying to get across it. 

Sunday we picked up Justin at my in-laws as he spent the weekend down there. Then we picked Jayne up,yep Jill had us all to herself and even though she missed her brother and sister she ejoyed having us all to herself. We had lovely turkey supper before getting ready for our Sunday family night of our favorite TV show Heartland. 

Monday morning HB began his new job he will spend most of the week on courses,medicals,and all that fun stuff before going into the job. I am feeling so much better now that I know he is working,as I was beginning to wonder what Spring was going to behold.

We had hot turkey sandwiches last night for supper with fries. We cleaned snow and then off to bed. Today it is drifting out so bad. The weeones still had school with only a few buses not running and only one school in the area closed for the day. 

Tonight we are having pork chop,baked potatoes, side rice dish,and toss salad. 

My house is pretty much back to norm. So I think I will now take a hour for myself,and do some sewing. Take care and I hope to be back tomorrow blogging, as sometimes I just can't seem to get 10 mins to get on. But always try to at least read my daily blogs.

Have a warm day!
