27 of 365 - Busy!!!

After a week long "break",

I was lucky enough to

receive a call to work for an EA

who had to take an

unexpected leave!

My work calendar is booked 

for all of this week,

next week and possibly 

the following week too!!

I'm so happy!

VERY interested in the

marbles!

It was a lot of work

but I love the way it turned out!

Once again driving by the

farmer's market

and I had to stop for my photo.

All of the shiny

Christmas Balls caught my eye!

I couldn't choose just one!

The Winter Shines Festival starts

this weekend.

There are ice sculptures, skating ponds and decorations!

Hopefully the weather holds up,

looks like lots of fun.

We had the pleasure of watching

Pure Energy's

Centennial H.S.

tonight.

Great job

once again girls!

20 of 365 - Left Behind

It happens every year....

and this year it was

stockings left hanging

downstairs!

At least it's still January.

I should look at putting them

away for the year.

19 of 365 - Ice Castle

I was driving by the farmer's market today

and saw that there were guys

with chainsaws carving

ice blocks.

I had to go back with my camera!

Here's what I found...

18 of 365 - Science Project

Ashley was working on her

science project 

this evening.

She was using a battery

to create a magnetic effect

by attaching a wire 

and a nail to it.

17 of 365 - Magic Bullet

FINALLY!!

I got the Magic Bullet for

Christmas but had to return it.

There weren't any left so I had to wait.

Today I found it and we got to give it a try.

Thanks Dorie!

We are going to love it!

14 of 365 - Winter's Here!

Welcome to winter!

This is what the temperature gage

in the truck said this morning

when I drove the kids to school......

With the wind chill it was -48!!!

It's only supposed to be this cold for 

a couple more days.

Hold on, we can get through this!

13 of 365 - Canada Cup Of Curling

Steve won this curling shirt

on Twitter!

It was the one that Pat Simmons

wore for the

Canada Cup Of Curling.

The team signed it

and Zach was one happy curler!

That combined with his new

broom made him very proud

at practice tonight!

12 of 365 - A Rose From My Son

Zach brought me a rose today.

He made this rose in IA!

I am so excited to say

that I will have this

rose forever!

Now to find just the right

spot to display it!

Thanks Zach,

you did an awesome job!

able to take some

maternity photos for

one of Ashley's

this exciting time for you Amie!

Can't wait to meet little Jacob!

Seriously?!?!?!

I would say we have 

what some might

say is an

addiction!

Intervention is pending!

7 of 365 - White Chocolate Mocha

From Starbuck's,

of course!

It wasn't even for me!

This is Zach's new drink of choice.

It went something like this -

"Mom do you want to go to Starbuck's?"

"Why? Do you Zach?"

"Yes, I'll drive and I'll even pay."

He drove and bought his own drink,

I got to go along for the ride!

Thanks for hanging out with me tonight son!

6 of 365 - Delivery Malfunction!

Ashley finally got her birthday gift

 from Calgary.

Express post + Canada Post doesn't always 

guarantee good service,

or so we learned.

Thanks to one of our neighbours,

down the street,

the lost mail was recovered!

It was apparently put in his mailbox

and he brought it by the house tonight!

Thanks Auntie & Uncle for the 

birthday gift!

5 of 365 - Shorts????

Yep, he did it!

January 9 and Zach wore

shorts to school!

It was supposed to get up to 10 degrees today

but only made it to about 4 degrees.

Nice work Zach!

After brunch there was a 

crazy game of

hand stacking going on.

It reminded me of a sports team 

getting ready to play.

1,2,3

Family!

We have a house full of company

this weekend.

There was a little bit of

down time this afternoon after a

Okay so I couldn't wait until Friday!

Here's my first photo for

this round of 365.

Ashley's dance studio put together

a dance troupe this year and they performed

an awesome hip hop routine

at BRIT tonight.

So much un to watch!

365 Revisited

Well I believe that the time has come to do another

365 project.

I have been procrastinating a little bit but 

there's "no time like the present",

right?

I will begin my 365

on Friday, January 6, 2012.

I'm ready,

let's see what kind of inspiration

this year brings.

I will be looking forward to some

helpful comments now and again.

I really would love to know what you think of

my photos.

Have a great night!

See you back here soon!
