Another Holiday for me???

Hello Everyone!!!

I'm so excited that once again this month I get another HOLIDAY!!!!  WHOOOO HOOOO!!!!!
For those that know me, you know that I don't get out much (at all). lol.   Now that I'm a mom, and a SAHM, it has taken a while for me to learn that it is OK for me time. That its OK for me to go away and not feel guilty and that I should be home with the kids.  But I have been home now for 7 1/2 years and so needing some me time, IT'S OK!!!   It was great to get away 2 weekends ago with 90 ladies a didn't even know. lol.  It was so relaxing for me even though the whole weekend we didn't stop. There was on going activities for 3 days.
So once again I get another weekend???  What , me???
This weekend myself and 7 other girls are heading to Niagara Falls, Ont.  Exciting!!!   I'm feeling like a little kid right now, hahaha.  We are heading there for our friend Kate Bachelorette Party.  She is marrying Chris's nephew Cory.  The Boys weekend was last weekend. Now its our time. we have some pretty fun things to do!!!  Saturday morning Wine Tour.  (I have always wanted to go on one of these, even though I don't drink and haven't for over 7 years.)  What have I got myself into?????  LOL!!!  I am looking forward to shopping in the city!!!


Anyways before I got myself ready for this weekend this is what I have been preparing for. 

RAINBOW PARTY!!!!!

When you walked in the back door this is what you were greeted with, yummy!


Dive in kids!!!


What they had to drink, everyone was a different colour of the rainbow. No fighting, it was great. You should try it sometime!  (and yes i did notice later that my rainbow is wrong here) 

All the colourful pom poms I made, there so fun!!!!


All our kids birthday parties take place in our back room, which is the play room.


LOVE the pinata.  Our kids have one at every birthday.  I love watching all the kids hit it and cheering them on. When you cheer them on they always want to hit it harder, lol.  and then all the other kids are screaming and laughing too. It gets pretty wild at our house when the pinata comes out!!!  I always end up in tears from laughing so hard!!!   


Pin the pot of gold under the rainbow.  I saw this on another ladies blog and fell in love with it!!!
the girls loved it to!

At the end of the game. A tie.


Spin the bottle for opening gifts. Emma's idea, what a great big sister!


The cake.


And the surprise inside!!!


Treat bags. Everyone had a colour. Orange has already left for home before I got a picture.


All the girls dressed in there colour that I wrote on their invite.  Great job Girls!!!
Zoe in Pink
Emma in Black, she was the pot of gold.


Have a great weekend friends!!!!

I have my shopping list ready.  Hoping for some great finds in the city!!!

until Monday...

What I fell in LOVE with

Hi to everyone!!!   As you know I had my first weekend away from my family ever. Where did I go you are wondering?   Up was up north in Minden, about 5 hours north.  My family and I are O.F.A.H members.  Which is Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters.  You have to be a member to take part in the W.O.W Weekend,  the Women's Outdoor Weekend. 
So during my weekend one of the activities we could chose from was the high ropes.  As I was watching other ladies go up I got anxiety, which was crazy because I was looking forward to this.   I was happy on the ground cheering on the other ladies.  But then there was a lady who was terrified of heights. Her goal was to climb half way. She made it to the top of the pole. Passed her goal, but then she started  to panic, not nice :(.  I felt so bad. I had a little chat with her and she change my mind. I needed to try this out. I may never get to do this again.  Its right here in front of me and if I go home with out doing this I would regret it.  (I know I would).  It was my turn.


Climbing up the pole. It was two stories high.

Getting to the top of the pole my heart started racing, just a bit.

Racing just a little bit more. this is when I then looked down a few times. I tryed my best not too. Getting on to those two last staples were hard. There was nothing to hold on to but the rope.

I was shakey stepping up.

It took me a few seconds to get up on these last two staples. But I did it!!!   And my GOAL was to stand on top of the hydro pole, not the staples.

The feeling of accomplishment!!!

Still have to stand on top!!!   This was the hardest part!!!

I DID IT!!!   I know you can't see it, but my legs are together. I'm on top of the world!!!  I had to count to 3 then jump out about 5/6 feet to hit a bouye with my hand.

I DID IT!!!!!!!  
I FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS!!!!
I know I'll be doing this again!!!  Can't wait for the next challange!



Thank you Sue for harnessing me up and then taking these great pictures!


Have a great Day!!!

Back to School.

Yesterday was my girls first day back to School.  Emma is in Grade 4 this year.  WOW!  Time flies, and Zoe has started Grade 1.  Everyday all day.  She's great at getting up and at em.  you say her name once, shes up, she gets dressed and heads down stairs.  Emma the opposite!   The first thing Zoe said to me today was (now that it is her second day)  "Mom I don't want to go today".  Poor girl, She'll have loads of fun at school today.  She's full of life.  Her name is suits her! LOL!


Here's the girls on there first day back to school.




                                                                               Emma


                                                                            Zoe



Jack waving to the girls just as he is about to fall. (he didn't get hurt) and Spot in a full run coming to us, lol.


Every school morning we get to watch the dogs case the horse (Jesse) around the his field.  Can you see Spot???   (he's the little white thing at the end of Jesse's tail.)  Maybe I should get this on video for you all, its pretty funny.  When the bus comes Jesse stops at the corner of the fence until the bus takes off.


Here comes the bus, bye girls.


Have a great day, untill later.
