Rugby Season

Well… for the next few months I will consider myself a ‘rugby widow’.  Lennard is the head coach of the Cardston Girl’s Rugby Team this year and practices start today.  Having said that, I know it is something that he loves to do and I fully support him in sharing his knowledge of the sport with others.  I did have to laugh when I looked outside this morning though… this is what I saw…

Yup… lots of lovely, freshly fallen snow!  Good luck staying warm!  (Good thing they have the gym to practice in a couple times a week!)

Big Helper

I spent a part of the morning making bread.  I had them sitting out to cool down and decided to go get dressed (finally).  Emma came racing in to my room yelling that Benny was playing with a knife, so I booted it out to the kitchen to see what was going on.  Sure enough, Ben had decided that he wanted a slice of bread and took it upon himself to get one… this was the result!

Every single loaf had holes in it… though the one on the end got the most ‘love’ of all.  The entire center was hollow by the time he’d got through with it!

Don’t let the innocent look fool you!  What a little imp!

Another view of the mutilation… at least it was just the bread and not a body part!

Now I Know My ABC’s

Emma was very proud of herself singing the ABC’s all morning, so I told her we would video it to show Grandpa Nichols… so here you go!  Enjoy!

Disappointment

So we thought we would do something fun with the kids tonight and take them to Lethbridge to go swimming.  We had a few things to get done first, so while I ran into Costco, Lennard fueled the van up.  Then we went and got something to eat, meeting Roger first to get some parts to take home to my dad.  Then we had to stop at Canadian Tire, Nysha's and Mindy's.  By then it was about 6:30ish so we hurried over to the hotel where the pool is.  Emma had been fairly patient all night and was more than ready to go swimming, so it was a HUGE disappointment when we got there and discovered that they weren't letting the public in to swim (they were at capacity).  To say that she was sad is an understatement.  I felt so bad that we had talked it up all day and then we couldn't go.  The trip home was not a happy one... Hopefully we can try again in the near future!

Laundry Room

We are on the home stretch to having the laundry room completely DONE!  So exciting!  We got the vinyl and some pictures put up.  The countertops are on, the drawers in, the laundry sink hooked up… it’s great!  In fact, I don’t remember when doing laundry has been so much fun!  The kids got right into it too.  Who knew that watching laundry go around and around could be so entertaining!

Tired Boy

I really wish I could figure out what to do with this little boy.  He is NOT sleeping very well at night.  I have tried keeping him up during the day to see if he would sleep at night and this is what happens… every time!

He can’t just sleep on the couch either… the cushions HAVE to be off!

Daddy Daughter Time

I love seeing these two snuggled together watching a movie… it makes my heart happy.
