er...looking over my entries..it's pretty clear activity here has slowed down to none... that's because..for nearly 2 yrs now..I've been sucked in by the facebook. Initially, it was a problem..it's secret name is 'crackbook' so, if you must, you can find me there. cause I seldom come 'round here anymore. www.facebook.com

Wii Ones

560 days ago

My husband came home last week with a new toy. He says his boss gave it to him at work (he's been known to give away lots of things) I hope that's not a clever'cover story' because these aren't cheap video game units....but anyway...we've joined the world of Wii. Of course there's all the 'stuff' you gotta buy extra...but now we've got 2 Wii wheels and a Mario go-kart game, which the kids just love. Eryn is impressively skilled at it...Aiden...well....he can either try to steer, or push the gas button, but can't seem to perform both together....doesn't stop him from 'playing' though. I'm sure it won't be long before Eryn can beat her daddy. Here's a few cute photos of them (love Eryn's facial expression as she plays )...my Wii Ones.... I also posted a video of them playing Wii...on my Facebook

Aiden is THREE

565 days ago

Aiden's birthday was this week. It's so shocking to realize he's THREE yrs old now, babyhood, toddlerhood now nearly behind us. He had a good birthday, busy busy day and he's VERY pleased with his 'transformer ' toys from Nana & Papa. Now we just need to get him doing his thing on the potty. He's so stubborn though, things aways work best when he thinks it's his idea to do something. We're having a lil' party for him, with just his cousins over. Here's a few photos from his special day. The kids helped make Aiden's birthday cake, so they got to lick the spoons. ..makes for cute photos.

Outwit, Outlast, & Time-outs

SURVIVAL!!! My hubby went out of town on his first business trip since we married. He was gone for the week, returning friday night, late. I've got lots of 'tools' in my 'bag' now, so I knew a few things to do to make the wek easier for me. I ensured I'd have super easy food & meals for the kids, that I'd gotten all the chores and laundry finished BEFORE he left, and all the grocery shopping done. I lined up a few 'playdates' and activities for the kids, gotten a few new crafts for them to work on, and rented an armload of movies from the store. For bedtime, the first night I tried to do it myself the 'usual' way, but I felt like a game show contestant, running back and forth from room to room, tucking in each child, doing the requisite number of songs and stories and letting them know; NO FUNNY BUSINESS tonight. For the rest of the week, about an hour before bedtime, I'd start a new movie in the dvd player and they'd chill-out with me and fell asleep pretty quick. ...

Eryn is FOUR yrs. old !!!

It's still tough to wrap my head around...that my lil' girl is FOUR years old now.... babyhood, toddlerhood are behind her, she's a lil' girl now. ......she's a lil' girl who can write and recognise letters & numbers, who can cut with scissors like a pro, dress herself completely (even putting on tights), completely potty trained, rides in a booster seat in the van, talks on the phone, she can eat a popsicle or lollipop without getting it everywhere (not even on her hands), she has an enormous repetoire of songs she sings, she can talk about and describe her dreams, she makes up songs and stories, LOVES to play 'tea party', and wear dresses, she can competently use a computer mouse and loves playing on the 'kids CBC' website. Hard to believe that four years ago today, Gary & I gave birth to our first child....this time, four years ago...we were just dumb-struck...looking at each other...thinking; WHAT are we in for???? It's been an adventure...from not even ...
