February, and snow finally we have snow
Most of our winter has been small snows and easy melts, so our attempt at a rink this year was not going well until last week, we were about to give up when I noticed that the water that was susposed to have frozen on the tarp was to the side and it was getting thick, cue the skates! I've been skating in my backyard for hte last week. The end of last week I moved off the tarp and lookie lookie under the tarp ICE! well, more for skating nooooooooo just bumps lots and lots of icy bumps so my new plan is evening it out, and 430 yesterday the snow came but it wasn't he snow I was expecting, it was light and fluffy so easy to shovel. I shoved for 1hour this morning and got it cleared. I'll see how my backyard olympic skating competition goes tonight when I flood it all again, hopefully the snow banks might keep so of the water on the ice until it freezes again. YAY!! real winter is here, and I for the first February in my life I'm not bummed about it still being winter? odd? maybe?

Happy New Year, Happy January and Happy Mommy
Happy New Year, Yep only what? 10days in and I'm finally getting to the posting of the new year? Totally skipped out on the Christmas. Christmas was fantastic, the boys were extremely happy about the fight Santa must have had in our front room which resulted in his losing I'm sure his whole sack of toys all neatly piled under our tree with all kinds of pretty wrappers. The pretty and the neat were soon disasterized with many many many small and tiny pieces of everything form paper, ribbonbows, legos, hotwheels and puzzle pieces. MJ was SOOOOOO EXCITED and I was so excited to have an older Baby's First Christmas because he totally understood unwrapping after watching the 2 older boys. He crawled himself right over and started ripping paper off everything he could find, even the things that were already unwrapped. Gift boxes yummy!
AJ was very happy with his "haul" so much for those 3 gifts, the inlaws of course seem to think they are Santa? I was sure they had their chance 20yrs ago? Didn't they get the memo? NOOOOOOOOO they decided each child needed about 3-4 gifts? TJ was also pleased as punch, the look on his face when he saw a snowboard! and then monsterly huge monstertrucks for in the house! he took lastyears trucks outside and I told him he couldn't use them in the house after they had been out offroading in my gardens, their sandbox and he many puddles that seem to attack every male creature in this house. So Santa brought new ones for the basement carpet. You all must remember the july1st? Oh BTW Santa was one smart cookie! he left thsi 31 in 1 game thing you plug in the TV, I can actually get supper started without interruption. I take it out presupper and put it away while we eat, Mj wants to try it now, AJ of course wants to let him! (oops it's out early today cause I'm trying to get my house ready for guests on the weekend) I can't be a perfect mom everyday!
Soooooooooo now that December is covered, on to January and 2006! and Down with my weight, yeah I found some cookies Santa forgot to eat and well they found my waist line too! oh the horror, but again Santa was a smart cookies (it must be the eating of the cookies that makes him so smart?) he Brought mommy a Dance Dance Revolution game and I'm learing but slowly, I'm not very good with beat and tempo and fast moves or even jumping! but I'm working it and it's working me! it even keeps a tally of the workouts I've done for, and counts of the calories, records this based on my weight and my steps. It's exercise without even trying! I'm just Dancing. :) TJ is happily back in school so that makes me happy too, yesterday I took AJ sliding with our baby monitor strapped to my waist! It was a blast, and we swept off our ice rink that is in negotiations with the weather in the back yard. The Sun and theheat are to arrive on Saturday and Sunday, so we'll see how that goes +6C isn't good for ice?
I guess that's all the news for 2006 so far, house work, exerise, carting kids here and there, and home work, yep sounds like 2006 is in full swing!
