It has been such a good start to the year for 2010. We have been having a long lasting chinook, which has given a welcome break from the winter. I have this photo of Grant outside after he got back from the gym. He decided to work on getting the sidewalk cleared and part of the road where he parks his car since the weather was so nice.Alberta is just so weird for weather. Not sure if I will ever get used to the randomness, haha! Shorts in January in Alberta? hmmm....
We had a bit of random sickness in our home last week, but it was so minor and fleeting that it really wasn't a bother. Got together with Sue a couple of times. She's helping me work on a project I am doing. Went out to Dairy Queen with Alex and Kari, then watched the dumbest movie ever "All About Steve". Looked like it could be cute, but alas it was deceiving and was just
plain dumb. Tyson got his hair cut by his Aunt Meg (he was starting to look like a shaggy dog), and I got to go see a sweet little baby last week. I took a snapshot of her, and she looked so angelic. Tiny bit of baby fever, but definitely at the stage where I just like to look at them or hold them, not have one of my own. I've been slowly working on some ideas for my photography, as well as getting my butt back into gear helping out in Relief Society.
The kids have been really enjoying playing outside longer. They even got invited over to a neighbourhood friends house for a weenie roast. We've never done one in the snow, so they thought it was AWESOME! We've been doing lots of organizing in every aspect of our lives at the moment. I feel so unbelievably awesome when I feel organized. The kids have been doing amazing with their "program". The house has never been more tidy. It's not perfect, but they have been keeping the majority of the clutter off the floor, consistently cleaning their rooms, being on time out the door for school, and getting some experience with jobs I've never made them do before (like bathrooms and laundry). It has helped keep the stress level down in our house. Grant went for a dump trip today to clean out an accumulation of things in our garage, and tomorrow will be recycling.
A very random post today, but a post nonetheless.
