Snow!

We finally received our first real dumping of snow here. I spent part of yesterday morning shoveling the driveway and a pathway in the side yard for Spencer's large dump truck.

Spencer finally found a pile of snow large enough to jump into....

Todd and Spencer put up my tree one morning while I was Aquafit and here it finally decorated....

Leaving on a Jet Plane....

Yup.. it's official... we're coming home on the 26th until the 7th!

Needless to say I am not happy with my bank though!!! I paid off a portion of my CC to pay for our flights and the payment didn't go through as soon as expected. About 5 hours ago, I could have saved $200 on flights and had guaranteed seat assignments but had to wait for everything to come through on the CC. I'm so mad.... when I went back to the site to book our flights 5 hours later, the freakin' rates had gone up for the flights we wanted to take out of Calgary!!!!!!!!!!! Grrrr! So instead of getting in at a reasonable time on the 26th.... we're not getting into Toronto until just minutes before midnight!!!!! The stupid computer was having issues reserving seats so I don't even have seat assignments for either of our flights! Who knows if we're even sitting together!!! I'm sooo mad!!! Stupid bank... it's all their fault!!!

The Icky's Came to Visit!

Well the icky's decided to visit the Israels' house today.

Spencer woke up all icky and covered in ick this morning. After a nice warm, soapy bath and fresh pajamas, I made him take it easy today.

At one point I found him curled up on the floor on his toy car mat, under a blanket with the couch pillow over his head! Such a strange place to sleep.



He seemed to get better as the day passed but I think his fever really kicked him in the butt. He wasn't hungry and didn't eat any dinner tonight. After Todd and I ate we found him curled up on the floor again....

Look at those rosy cheeks! Poor kiddo! Daddy put him to bed early.


Todd was scheduled to be off until Sunday but he's been called in for overtime for tomorrow. So to help to pay for one of the 2 new front windshields we need for our cars, he's off to work tomorrow. He said that the snow we got the other morning was 2 feet or so high on the mine site. He said he enjoying 4x4ing in the work truck all day just to get from one place to another. I think winter is here to stay now!

It was a THREE Bath Day!

Well today started out with going to get the mail and playing outside in the SNOW! Yes... we finally have snow! It's actually starting to look like winter out here.

Spencer decided he wanted to take his large dump truck with us to the mailbox. So he pushed it through the snow as we walked there even though I told him not to take it.

Well the little bugger decided he didn't want to push it back. So I told him that he was going to lose it for the day because I had told him that if he brought it, it was his responsibility to bring it back on his own. Well Mommy ended up having to carry it home!!!! GRRR!!! So he took a fit when I put it away!


As Spencer was playing in the snow, I was watching all the pretty Evening Grosbeaks at the neighbours feeder! Aren't they pretty?

This afternoon we decided not to venture out on the crappy roads so while Mommy washed the dishes, he decided to get into my PAINTS!!!! Well at least he picked a Christmas colour!!!


Our potty training is coming along well too. We only had one accident today and he pooped for the first time on the potty too!

As for the three baths.... one to remove the green paint.... one to remove the spaghetti from his hair and one for his poopy butt! Oh well! At least Todd is home for the next 4 days!
