SOOOOOO Angry!!!

I could just about string him by his feet... Spencer that is!!

The little brat just wrecked the screen of our 3 month old flat screen tv!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm SOOOOOOOOOO mad!!!!!!

The little worm had one of Todd's screwdrivers, which of course, was NOT put away in his tool chest (typical!) but in a drawer that Spencer can get in to, and Spencer took the end of it and scratched the screen! I'm livid!!!!!!!!!

Anyone want a bratty 3 year old who doesn't know how to listen?????? GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

An Average Week

We haven't really been doing much this week. While Todd was off we got some fresh snow and the world is a little whiter again.

The other morning the boys let me sleep in and this what cam to visit us that very same morning.... 3 white tailed deer.

This looking out on our neighbour's front lawn. I think they came in to check out the suet bird feeder hanging off the tree.

Isn't she pretty?

And this was deer #3.... trotting across the lawn across the road.


An FYI... my foot is better and there was no swelling.

Todd on day #2 of 4 today. As of Friday, he'll be off for 12 days as part of the mine's scheduled shutdowns.

We found out yesterday that the family that we have gotten to know since we moved here are moving back home. They are packing as we speak and Spencer and I will be dropping by this morning with a few boxes. We're sure going to miss them! It was nice having another family almost like ours... 3 people, one being a 3 year old little boy. Oh well... I know their families have been missing them so that 's a good thing that they're going home again!

Off for the day!

At The Park and a Visit to the ER

We have a few pretty decent play grounds around Sparwood so I called up my friend Miss B and asked her is she and her son Mr. J wanted to go to the play ground today. It's about 8 degrees here today and sunny so I just wanted to get out of the house! I also wanted to take some more pictures of Spencer!

So we met down town just behind the community center this afternoon for a mini play date.

Spencer and I had arrived a few minutes early and he loved climbing up high and hanging on to g on to all the ropes.

He was telling me that he was driving his "ship" and that I'd better get up on the boat so the sharks didn't eat me. Too cute!

I love this shot....


As we all were getting ready to head back to the vehicles, I felt my right foot go over while standing in the snow and I fell onto my side into a snow bank. I think I caught everyone by surprise... especially myself!

I got up slowly with help from Miss B and hobbled over to the other side of the play ground equipment. My foot hurt but that was it..... until.... about 2 mins later when the world started to spin and I began to see stars and my hearing went on me! A scary feeling! So I braced myself on the logs and lowered my head for a few mins. I began to feel better but my "world" still felt a little on the "drunk" side so Miss B took me to the ER. Thankfully it was just down the street!!!

Thank goodness for good friends! Miss B watched both boys as I got everything examined.

I had my ankle and foot examined and my foot x-rayed and they said I didn't break or fracture anything... THANK GOODNESS! He said that the dizziness was probably due to a movement in the liquid in my ears when I fell. All said and done, we were out of the ER in jst a little over an hour. I'm now out of commission as far as walking and standing for long periods of time. I'm off to "elevate and ice".

Hope everyone's doing well back in Ontario! Stay warm as I hear you're getting the brunt of winter from Mother Nature again! Sounds like you guys are having more of a "winter" than we are! Ta ta for now!

Oh Deer! Just another day....

Todd's at work today so Spencer and I were on our own. I had some stuff to mail in town so we drove in after lunch.

On our way home we decided to take a detour up to Spawood Heights, an area between Sparwood and out trailer court.

We drove up and around the highest road to check out the new houses and came back around to the gas station and what did we see.....

...three deer at the gas station (there's one behind the snowbank)! We fed them some cookies we had in the truck and then zipped home to get the camera and more snacks.

Luckily they hadn't left when we returned.

We parked the truck and turned off the engine, cranked the window open and slowly opened up the cracker box and threw some goodies their way.

This little fella was the PIG and BULLY of the bunch. He thought that since he saw us first, that he was entitled to all the good stuff! He literally would chase and kick the other two around the truck so they couldn't get "his" crackers. He's also the one that would come the closest.

The bully wouldn't allow the other two too close. This poor fella watched from behind.

He did manage to circle the truck and I took this shot of him in front of the Jeep. I did throw him a few crackers over the hood on the other side. So I think he had a few.

This is a picture of the smallest of the three deer. She was the most timid and didn't come too close. I think she only got a single piece of cracker.... the one stuck to her nose!

Just before we left, the other fella wandered off towards the door of the store. A lady had gone in to grab something and when she came out the door again I think she was a little surprised to see a deer at the rear of her car!!! It was kinda funny!
