The boys are home today, since their school is having a PA day. So, we are playing with K'nex and I am trying to keep the squabbles to a minimum. It's a full time job LOL.
The sun is shining! It's gorgeous! Very bitterly frigidly cold, but beautiful. A front of Arctic air has covered a good deal of Canada, and sadly a few people have died as a result of it. Spring can't come fast enough! I am looking forward to getting my fingers into the soil and planting my garden. I can almost smell steaks on the barbecue and hear the baby birds peeping.
So it's bridal shoppes for me this weekend. My brother in law is getting married in June, so his fiance Arlene and I are going to go look at dresses and bridal stuff, so she can get an idea of what she is looking for. I do enjoy helping with weddings! I haven't been to many weddings in my lifetime, but I've had a great time at each wedding I've been at.

Various and sundry
Not much going on here. We are under 3, yes 3 severe winter weather warnings *boo hoo*. I guess winter wants us to know it is here this year!
I think I'll make fish for supper, since I am wanting some. Fish, rice and swiss chard sounds great to me!

Brrr!
It's cold today! We went tobogganing but the kids only went down the hill a few times each. Ryan was snowboarding, but he had a great wipe out at the bottom of the hill, and that was enough for him. The other two were pretty cold so, we drove to the nearest big town and hit Wal-mart, where we got Ryan some new meeting shoes. Got Liam a pair of slippers he's been wanting since before Christmas for only 3.00$ YAY! Ryan also spent the remainder of his Christmas money on a Roboraptor, so he and Kyle are playing with their robocreatures. (Kyle has a robopanda) They are really having some fun!
Baby the great huntress cat caught a mouse. Poor thing was squeaking and jumping,and I felt really badly for it, but I sure don't want mice in my house. Baby is a great mouse catcher and more than earns her keep. She's a lovey and sleeps on Liam's bed, if she can't get on mine.
Anyhoooo, It's been a looooong day, so I am off!

Pizza and Legos
Pretty uneventful day here yesterday. Ryan came home from school sick, and just laid on the floor in his jacket until I made him go to bed. He said he had a headache and noise bothered him. I hope he isn't getting migraines! He asked for Pizza for supper and since I was feeling a bit lazy I phoned hubby at work and asked him to grab a couple of cardboard pizzas on his way home, which he did. It was a nice change from the regular fare.
The boys have been playing with their Christmas lego alot, building different spaceships, pirate villages, and fighter planes. Liam asked me to help him re-build the lego set my Mom gave him for Christmas, which is pretty complicated. He had the main body built but needed help with the legs, so we sat on the floor and built the Venom striker together. Kyle was building a sheild for a fighter plane he built. He did a really good job! I am so pleased that they have imaginations~ way better than always whining about being bored. Then Liam read some books to me for his book log and he is reading very well. He sure has progressed a long way!
The oil man showed up yesterday, a day early. He put the oil in the tank and wow warm! It seems as if the lower the tank gets, the less effective our furnace is. I am so thankful we have a warm house this year~ we really are spoiled. I forget to be thankful alot.
I must end this now, as I have much to do today. :)

Starting a blog
I wonder what this blog will contain when I am done. Probably alot of boring stuff and a bit of chaos as well! I wonder~ should I just blog about my family, or my beliefs, or society, news, the world? Will I keep it up, or will it be like so many projects, started and forgotten?
Guess for now, I'll just tell you about my daily life and observations.
This morning, I made red river cereal for breakfast. Ryan doesn't like it, so he had a healthy TV mom breakfast (haha) popcorn. Kyle and Liam gobbled their cereal up and wanted more. I wonder if they actually like the cereal or just the sugar and milk they put on it.
I have noticed that Ryan functions better and has a much nicer day when he is well rested and eats a large breakfast. There are less squabbles and he isn't as grumpy.
I am slowly catching up on the piles of laundry that somehow seem to accumulate when I miss a day. Funny how no laundry on Sunday can make all-day laundry for the other 6 days Who needs clean sheets anyway haha!
Don't really want to write more right now, so I suppose I'll give a shot at posting tomorrow!
