Week(s) At A Glance

Busy day ahead - Matt and I are about to head out to my Bible study this morning, then we have playgroup this afternoon. Love full days like this!
(and I love that it's going to be a Dora-free day for the most part!)

I'm very behind in posting my cell pics, so this post will have a lot of them.

Julie and Mattie at the park.

I love when Max sleeps like this.

Unreal. And it's gone up from when I took this picture.

I have always loved this store, so imagine my joy when I found one near my house! I browsed at my leisure and made my 2012 Christmas list...

It's happening! Boxes, boxes, everywhere!

These are such a huge hit in the US it seems. I don't understand why they're being marketed as being something new. They're CLEMENTINES, people. Been around forever. Except for Jules, my kids don't like citrus fruit so they aren't in on the hype.

Speaking of Julie, take a peek at her sidewalk chalking she did recently. She did an incredible one over the weekend for Easter, but I didn't get out in time to take a picture of it and I think it's gone now.

Amazing right???

Here is our vacuum # 17, on his way to the graveyard.

Painting weekend was a success, and freshed up our hallways.

I read this and wasn't in love with it. Sam wanted to read it and I figured I should check it out first. He's reading it now, and we're trying to decide if we should see it in the theatre. We have coupons, so we're thinking yes.

I think I went through two boxes myself while I was sick.

What I'm reading now.

I had to give Jordan a time out, then I got very involved in what I was doing and forgot her. When I went to get her, this is what I found.

We had some really warm weather a couple of weeks ago, and I was able to dress Mattie in shorts! Look at his chubba baby legs!

Getting ready to review this on my blog - coming soon!

Please Walmart... I'm one of your most faithful customers...please make it store policy to be dressed in regular daytime clothes in order to shop in your stores.

With all this packing and cleaning, I'm loving how organized it looks underneath my kitchen sink.

That's what it's been looking like 'round these parts lately!

Week At A Glance

I've been truly enjoying the wonderful weather we've had this past week. Last night I was out talking with our new neighbours for a couple of hours while all of our kids played together. Any friends I had in my neighbourhood have long moved on, and it feels so good to have a friend here again.

Jordan and the new little girl across the street are practically besties already. And their birthdays are only a day apart. So cute.

Sam has spent more time outside this week than he ever did last summer.

I started feeling a little bitter this morning - I've prayed for new friends for the children, for me... and now they're here and we're leaving! What's up with that, God?? But I know He's prodding us to move for a reason, and I trust that wherever we end up, He's got everything worked out already. So, I'll enjoy things as they are for now.

Here's a glimpse of what's been going this week.

Packing has begun at our place. We are really doing this, full speed ahead.

Ian had the hardest time trying to get Matthew into this sleeper for bed. It had all sorts of snaps that criss crossed and folded over and whatnot. He kept muttering, "what's up with this sleeper voodoo business?"

Turns out he put it on backwards. Bless.

I gave in to peer pressure and started playing DrawSomething on my iPhone. I think that's what it's called, anyway. Not being one to read instructions, I jumped right in. I stared at this picture for about 20 minutes trying to figure out what my friend drew before I read the instructions. Oops.

Matthew's had a touch of croup this week, and we've been spending a lot of time together in the bathroom, running the hot shower. Here he is, comfortably sleeping. Finally.

The next morning, Jordan wanted to play with Matthew, so I lifted her into the crib with him, much to his delight.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Get in mah belly!

We switched cable/telephone/internet providers yesterday and that will save us over $100 a month while giving us more stuff that I don't understand but is very exciting to Ian and Sam. All I know is I can't find my shows and I can't operate this darn thing. Ian has given me two "tutorials" but I can't absorb anything. Really, I just want him to set up all the channels I watch and "favourite" them so I only have to push one button.

So far... not a fan. Change blows. I hate change even more than I hate sharing.

Occasionally I play Family Feud on my iPhone. My friend sent me a Fast Money round request. If my score bumped us up to 200 or more, she'd win $1,000.

Oops.

And there you have it, my week at a glance.

Week At A Glance

I was busier than usual this week, and while it would seem I had more opportunity to take pictures each day, it didn't exactly work out that way.

Here's what this past week looked like for me.

Jordan loves to have her nails done. She lines up all of the nail polish and then after great deliberation, she chooses her colour. Or colours as it's been of late. She likes to have "rainbow fingers".

This is what Matthew wore to church last week. I think his shirt looks like something Freddy Krueger would wear.

After breakfast of cereal and applesauce, ready to tackle his day.

A page from my gratitude/prayer journal. One of my favourite pages.

A dude in the grocery store, at 3:55 pm, wearing pjs. I think we all know how I feel about pjs in public. GROSS.

Don't forget to move your clocks forward an hour tonight. I've been WAITING for this day.

Have a great weekend :-)

Week At A Glance

Seems like I took a lot of pictures this week.

Want to see some?

Sam gave me this gigantic Hershey's Kiss for Valentine's Day.

I don't know why we buy Neapolitan when no one really likes the pink part.

We need to move Mattie out of our room...but where to put him??

She must have done this puzzle a dozen times that first day.

Even teddy bears are subjected to naptime around here.

Came downstairs one morning to find Ian had tackled the dreaded mis-matched sock basket.

Met up with a sweet friend for tea AND bumped into another one while I was there :-)

Loving his music table.

Checking out the snow.

My little peeps sure are messy!

Snack time ~ cupcakes baked with love from Aunt Cindy.

What I'm reading these days.

Always so happy.

Can't believe this was even necessary.

What did YOUR week look like??

Week At A Glance

Today I'm going to show you a few pics I've taken on my cell phone this week.

I've seen this idea on a couple of blogs now, and thought I'd do it here too since Saturday is a slow day.

Let's go.

Sitting like a pro and sporting an adorable onesie from his Auntie Amanda
.

All he wants to do is stand up now, and he's beginning to try to cruise. So exciting.

He's going to take off crawling any second, I just know it.

Spying on the neighbours, just like Mama taught him to.

Riding along on the way to an appointment. Looks like he's holding on for dear life and praying.

Another adorable onesie from Auntie Amanda.

1am and wide awake. I think he was afraid he was going to miss something exciting.

Any guesses as to where this onesie came from?? Yep.. another one from Amanda.

I won two donuts this week, so yesterday after school Sam, Julie and I stopped so they could each have a treat before heading home.

Jordan and I hit up Chapters this week too. I read while she played with the train table.

What did I read, you ask? This book, because no matter what I try, Matthew still sleeps like crap.

There you go. A quick glimpse into my week.

Happy Saturday :-)
