Prepare for a photo overload! It was a big and busy weekend indeed. Conor was spoiled to death and so was I. I love Conor’s birthday because there are lots of gifts that seem to double over to me too! Like the crib board and cards my parents gave Conor, and Uno and Sorry Sliders that the Cranmers and Larsens gave Conor. Yes! Read the rest of this entry »
It’s been a big week around here. And we’re entering a big weekend with lots of partying because my man is turning the big 2-4 on Monday.
Here’s what we’ll be up to (in case you care):
Saturday: Dinner at McNeills. Sea of yorkshire pudding.
Sunday: Dinner with Muirheads. Um, ham and cake.
Monday: (the big day) breakfast of eggs benedict and gift opening (squeal! I can’t wait!)
And next week, we’re heading out to Montreal (another squeal!). Our flight leaves Calgary at 1 AM Tuesday morning so I have a feeling that our first day there is going to be a little rough especially for me. Imagine a person who, as a child, begged her mommy to let her take a nap at 4pm daily only to be denied, yes imagine that child all grown up and getting on a plane at 1 AM only to get off at 5:30ish AM (or 7:30ish AM in Montreal) and make it through the day without being grouchy or a zombie. If you’re thinking what I’m thinking than you are thinking, impossible. And, I’m so sorry for Conor. Or you’re thinking that I’m setting myself up for failure.
Please cross your fingers, toes, arms and legs for us! Send us all your luck! I need a green card. And fortunately I think Heavenly Father knows I need one too. Still, prayers are welcome!
Old Red Barn Co is doing it again! Except this time, it’s bigger and better than ever. Rather than one quilt, there is three quilts to be had and two quilt patterns to win! I REALLY would like to win and if you really want to increase my odds don’t do any of the following:
1. Leave a comment on the post
2. Post about this giveaway on your blog
3. Insert the button into your sidebar
4. Make a video and submit it onto Youtube
This is my Inspiration Board entry for my friend Melanie’s blog called You are my fave. While I’m on the subject of Melanie’s blog, I’m going to tell everyone to get on over there and read Mel’s latest post on appreciating your personal beauty and totally take part. I’ve been thinking about what I’ll say I like about myself and I’m stumped. For everything I like about myself I can counterpart with a couple flaws. I’m super excited to follow along and find out what everyone likes about themselves and maybe discovered a few things I don’t mind so much about me.
Two posts in one day. Freak out!
Conor and I went on a really funny date. We both wanted to eat out however we wanted to eat at different places. So, I ordered a sandwich from Boston Pizza and we picked up buffalo chicken strips from DQ for Conor and had a makeshift picnic in Fish Creek. Delicious. And hilarious.
And I wanted to share some jeans that I’m loving. I decided that I need to dress my size and since I’m smaller than I was a couple years ago, none of my pants are fitting properly. Flattering, but way annoying. I bought a the Gap Essential Jeans and am loving the fit. They fit through the waist, hip and behind and then skim the rest of my legs. In love. I especially like how I have to unbutton them to take them off. Hah!
I sound like a narcissist.
Last night, the first real snow of the season began to fall and Calgary woke up to a light and beautiful blanket of slushy snow. I love cold weather. I love fall and winter. I love feeling chilled. I love the snow. Yes, I am supremely satisfied with this weather and my only wish is to have a little tyke to build a snow man and make snow angels with!
