Oh yes!!! I am SO excited and have been keeping this secret from my darling daughter for weeks now! WEEKS!!!! My mom is taking us on a fantastic girls night to see the Wizard of Oz on stage! I CAN’T WAIT!!! In the past few months my kids have started loving the movie, which just warms my heart…and to be able to take Brooklyn to see it on stage (SHE LOOOOOVES THE THEATER) is just going to be magical. Especially…
through his stomach! Or at least that’s one of the way’s to my man’s! Planning a holiday with the kids for 3 weeks, and knowing that Brent would be tired after work and more than likely not motivated to make dinner, and of course wanting to give him a taste of my home cooking even while gone….I pulled the *best wife of the year* card and made him meals ahead of time (ie the day before. lol) so that he…
It’s true….this year I celebrated the start to a whole new decade. I was completely freaked out – not so much because of the whole turning 30 thing (though it does sound weird to say)….but because ALL OF A SUDDEN I am 30. The past 10 years have gone by SO quickly that I’m worried in the blink of an eye I’ll be 40…Life is going so quickly and I want to make sure I REALLY enjoy it….remember it….and love…
For the past while I have been *dreaming* plans up of taking the family somewhere to watch a surf competition. Brent and I have discovered a real love for the beach (I always knew I had it…but May’s trip to Mission Beach put it in full force) and think it would be so fun to watch a surfing competition….Brent would love to take lessons and get good – I’m a disappointing wife and am much too chicken (there are sharks…
And all I want is this… Subway’s veggie sub, with no tomatoes or black olives and definitely less onions than pictured. But definitely banana peppers (not jalapeno), lots of lettuce and cucumbers….and sub sauce. (I also like just pepper and a little mayo…and yes I’m putting it all on here just in case one of my faithful readers happens to be *in the neighbourhood* and wants to bring me one lol). Last night on the way home from my parents…
I haven’t ever done party favors before….In lots of ways I’d rather spend the $$$ on making the party more fun for the kids that come to celebrate. But this year I really felt like it was something I wanted to do. Enter the stress! LOL Having 30 kids for a birthday party I wasn’t about to spend a ton of money on treat bags. While the dollar stores are starting to improve their items and have some great things…
My kids birthdays have come and gone….End of September and the Beginning of October (6 days apart). Because most of my daughter’s friends have siblings Jonah’s age, I’ve always done their parties together. A lot of kids and a lot of fun! This year was no different, except I was not on my game and only this past weekend got around to doing their party. It was awesome. About 30 kids took over the house, along with some fantastic friends…
