Tuesday Adventures!

Yes today turned out to be such an interesting day that I thought I would Blog about it while the children got ready for bed.

Most of the day was fairly normal; up at 5am to take meds and make food & tea for J then back to bed for an extra hour & 1/2 of sleep. I almost didn't get up at 7am when my alarm went off but then I did(I had to go to the bathroom anyway). Grabbed a shower, got the kids fed and myself fed. Then the usual "Get dressed M. A put some socks on. K have you showered? It's time to brush teeth! Lets go." Walk kids to school, walked the dog the long way home and relaxed. Mom called and needed me to get a couple things ready for her to take up to Grandma & Grandpa's with her(she's staying there for now because they both say they need her there - I miss her). I did that then watched more TV until she got here and we visited for a bit. Then it was off to the school to bring kids home for lunch, feed them and send the older two back to school. I messed around on the computer for a while, finished a book I was reading and talked with Mom on the phone while I put supper into the slow cooker. Then M complained of a earache so we hung out together and watched TV while we waited for J to get home and take us to the clinic.

Yeah I know so far it doesn't sound all that exciting but I have to tell you about the whole day - one of my long stories.

So off to the clinic to wait an hour, M has an ear infection and has meds now, Yay. she was the perkiest kid at the clinic :) My kids'r crazy man. Anyway we got back home in time for me to finish making supper(I had to make rice and veggies to go with the stuff in the slow cooker). We ate and I took the dog for a walk, my usual 3km loop. About half way thru our walk I found a wallet on the sidewalk, looked for an owner nearby - none. So I brought it home. There was an expired license in the wallet but no phone number - I called everyone with that last name they didn't know the guy. Tomorrow I will have to drop it off at the police station. I feel terrible for this guy - he's 22 and I'm pretty sure it was him that rode buy me about 3 blocks before I found the wallet. There's money in the wallet - I didn't count it but it looks to be around $60 maybe more. He's going to be so mad when he finds he lost it - I hope the cops find him and give it back with the money still in it. I hope he doesn't lose too much sleep over it.

So that was my adventures for today - tomorrow morning I will add the police station into an extended morning walk for S and I after I drop the kids off at school. What fun!

Evil M strikes again OR The Halloween that never happened.

Also cute doggie pictures in this Blog(what else is new?).

I would have loved to have made up a Halloween blog and shown you pictures of the kids(especially K & Big M - they looked uber cool!!). However I wasn't quick enough to download the pictures off the camera and M managed, somehow, to delete them all :( :( So no pictures. M went as a princess, A as Darth Vader, K as a girl that had cried herself to death(too funny - black face with blood tears all over her face) and Big M as a girl that had been shot in the head(white face with a well painted and blood coming from bullet hole - I must be watching too much CSI around the big girls). They all looked great but alas I have no way to prove that because of M. So you'll all just have to imagine, I guess.

I discovered the loss of our Halloween shots when I took these wonderful shots of my now almost 1 year old S - she's so pretty in these pictures it ~almost~ makes up for the loss of the others.

S loves to look out the window so I got all the shots while she was being all cute and focused on the goings on outdoors:


Now all the pretty closeups:


This next shot I grabbed when S yawned, I am oddly obsessed with how pretty her teeth are and since I am raw feeding I figure I should keep track of her teeth. At only 1 year old her teeth are still clean and pretty(although a kibble fed dog's may just be starting to tarter up around now they usually don't look horrid until closer to 5 years old). Just for the record though(I say in all my Dog Food Snobbery)this is what a healthy set of teeth & gums look like at one year old:

For those of you who don't know, I ordered a fancy new harness and leash from a company down in California and finally got it today. YAY! I will be sure to get shots of S in it once I recharge the batteries in the camera(yeah - that took me over a month last time so don't hold your breath!). Also my oldest is now 13. GASP! I know - I'm entirely too young and pretty to have such an OLD daughter! I will be having my birthday this coming Sunday and never mind how old I will be. Shhhhh!! Evil M will be 5 on the 13th(we figured it out when she was born - she'll have her birthday on a Friday the 13th when she turns 6). My Mom is currently staying with her Mom while my Grandpa is out hunting with his sons, I miss her. I think that pretty much updates everyone - Oh! I got to do a meat order now that I have two fridge freezers and discovered that $250 worth of meat only fills one of them - the other is good for frozen veggies and frozen juices and stuff. J is resigned to me being happy about having two fridges and the corrupt movers who rooked me out of $60 are no longer advertising on my local Kijiji - I like to think it's because I posted to advise others what happened to me.

Hope all is well with everyone. K says thank you to Aunt C and her crew for the e-card, she liked it.
