Random Tuesday Thoughts

I know I haven't been posting much lately, but today I'm going to put one out there today!

Random... Dentist. I don't know why but Tuesdays always seem to be the best days for dentist for us.

The boys are busy this time of year. It's hard to get them everywhere but I do it. I just do it. I guess that's really a sporty idea right there  isn't it?  Curling is wonderful, and getting to the busy part of the year and I'm trying to keep up. I can see watching the Olympics today that it's an amazing commitment to pick a sport. One of the boys is also doing "production" and he's given up a few tournaments this year so that he could practice for the school Spring Production. I find this to be a big difficulty for him. He's got an great stage personality, he loves it, but he can't be in 2 places at once and it's very much like the silly scenes in Disney's High School Musical. (thank you wikipedia) Those in Prodution, do not understand the time needed for sports. So he's missed out on a few tournaments. We will have to make the decision of next year. Curling? or Drama? but I feel bad that he feels that pressure to want to try and experience but yet not enough time. Sports? or Art?

I was on my way into the Dollar (or more really now) store and had thought of a great part to add to today's random? Do you think I can think of it now? nope! gone I can picture me exactly pushing the store door open. oh wait! yep I got it now. (see you can go back in time). The car parked infront of me had a Hockey Helmet on the back window. Now I didn't take a picture that might be rude but my thoughts went right to the thought that it wouldn't be very good if they made a sudden stop? and that Helmet went flying and hit someone in the head? Head protection fail?  #Nailedit? Or would it be #Nogginit?


The snow is coming back the end of this week. I can't wait. I must be a winter baby? yep. I love snow flakes falling, I love sliding? (I've grabbed the kids sleds when I gt home from my daily walk, and gone for a ride or many) I love walking in the snow. It's so peaceful especially when no one is driving through it. So Quiet so peaceful. Loving Winter!


For those looking for the chair? let me go get you a pic.

Today the sun is shining so you can feel ever at -15C with the windchill that spring will come, the sun is brighter and shinier and Happier looking as it plays on the snow!

More Wordless Wednesday

Happy New Year!

2014 Is Here!

 I think that today as I sit here with my tea writing to you all today for your Saturay morning reading, that this may be the fastest Snow Chair Winter I've ever experienced since starting these pictures in 2007. I think that was the year the snow reached the top of my French Door Windows in February? This year? It's December,the deck is larger, and has less of a wind wall on the left. There is more room for the snow to filter out on the ground around the deck between the bars. I think this is a factor in my view of the back  yard. I love it! I really do. My Hubbie really did do a wonderful job designing and finding just the right look for our back deck.  His latest building project is my middle son's bed. You would not believe this bed he designed in his head and built as a way to get more space out of a small room.

Emptied room

built a bed

So he built this bed the week before Christmas school vacation. He had planned to build it while we were out and about with my younger 2 boys and using the oldest to help him but snow. Yep there that was the first storm of the storm cycle we're in still in January.
Once we got the bed built, we moved my desk that had lived in my livingroom into his room and now he has space to work on homework and study and even got to keep his air Hockey table. If he'd pick up his laundry I'd take  a full room picture.... but well....seems the desk is no longer safe for publish. HA! My New Year resolution is to go through the desk which has all my things in it and donate/sell or throw away all the clutter. The desk was handy for hiding all those "what do I want to do with this" before company came to visit. (oh I know you all do it too)

Now on to the reason I started this post today....

Today's snow report is brought to you today by Mr. Batting Cage.  Due to Weather beyoind our control this year, Chair is covered, Stunt Double is Covered, Table is Buried and so we look to our New Back Yard Friend Mr Batting Cage.
