Six Word Saturday= Worse than Christmas Time!

Six word Saturday-- when you describe your week/life in six words only. Play along with Cate at showmyface dot com!

September is costing arms and legs!

I have put out money for my kids' school fees. I spent money on singing lessons, dance lessons (including dance attire required), basketball lessons, Girl Guides, my OWN school fees (you know, just a few thousand in tuition), money for school clothes for kids, money for books (me... only another thousand), money for scrubs and stethoscopes and immunization records and criminal record checks, parking passes for the year, ...

when did September start costing MORE than a Christmas with 7 children!?

Six Word Saturday= It is Finished

Nothing Says Wedding Like Vancouver Canucks!


(For more 6WS, visit Cate at showmyface. com)

*their wedding colours are Vancouver Canucks Blue and Green.

Uncle Kannie and Auntie Bree are getting married just about now. Kannie is the last sibling of 8 to get married, and so, God willing, this is our last wedding! It has been really fun having everyone in town again for the past week, and we have 2 more days of fun before we all return to our corners and start 'life' again.

After the long weekend, and after Will and I celebrate our annual "start of eternity" (aka first anniversary), I'll post pictures and goodness from the week of fun!
Until then, enjoy the long weekend, you fellow "Canucks". (And for my American peeps, enjoy an early monday morning back at work or school. muahahaha)

Six Word Saturday= Where Did I Go Wrong?!

Expecting the Fashion Police ANY moment!

Okay,

Yesterday, Will and I had to drive to Cowtown again to drop off my kids for Chris and also for another eye-exam. First note: the eyes? Yep- perfect 20/20 vision and still improving, AND soon I may even be able to go outside without plastering my "granny" sunglasses to my face.


We went shopping at a new mall in Balzac. (ha ha. Yes, I'm practically a 12-year old boy... whatever, it still makes Will and I laugh. Yes, that's an actual place north of Calgary, for all you who don't believe me. And yes, *in OUR home* it IS pronounced Ball Sack). lol
ANYWHOODLE, I broke down and bought them.
The shoes.
The oh-my-freek-those-are-so-darned-ugly shoes. The DO-NOT-TRY-ON shoes. The once-you-try-on-you-want-a-pair shoes.

Yep.
I did.


AND I LOVED IT. I am wearing them today and although mine are super cute white and silver shoes, I am darn proud to have such odd-looking shoes on my stellar bod. ;)

So, in short, now my shoes match my granny glasses! :)

Six Word Saturday- Hard Hats required

I Live In A Construction Zone.


Sculpturing children, marriage, kitchen and waistband. :)

Em is at a graduation party that started last night and went ALL the way through the night. Good thing I am related to the hosts, as I wasn't worried about her moral safety! She only fell asleep a few minutes ago (maybe 6 in the morning?) so she's pretty much done for the day. And, it's a Saturday. And she's 15. So, the likelihood of her accomplishing much more than sleeping today wasn't really EVER in the plans, was it?

LL is in a parade with her Brownie/Guide group today down in Warner. She won't be back until dinnertime. I have never seen a girl SOOOO excited to be walking in a parade of a town of LESS people than here in Mo-town! No matter, it's giving her something to do. Maybe she's more excited that I spent hours last night sewing on all of her newly-aquired badges (patches, for all you Americans) and she's thrilled to SHOWOFF her fully-bejewelled sash!

Bear is doing his usual Saturday thing- fishing with "Grandpa Paint." The two of them LOVE fishing, and are found on the lake EVERY week. Like usual, Bear catches something. He's a good fisherman and always has been.

And Mimi? She's here. But she was up so late last night, watching movies and then sleeping in the fort-o-blankets the kids made that her and Em will be content to just chill on the couch all day.

So... that leaves Will and I.
We may go for a 10k run.
We may go gopher hunting (don't knock the country girl in me- I tried it for the first time just recently, and have a GREAT shot. So, if you mock me, prepare for me to shot you and cut your tail off! :) )
We may head off to 'the big city' to shop.
We may head to the USofA to pick up appliances for the kitchen reno.
We may head off to the mountains to fish.
We may not even leave the bedroom, ifyouknowwhatImean! ;)

But never fear, we WILL be enjoying the day sans kids!

Six Word Saturday- Catching Up

I need shopping bags, not saddle!


I'm tired. And I have got NOTHING done-- as in, I have no Christmas decorations up-- which, if you know me, is REALLY crazy! I have no cookies baked. I have a big party in one week and no games ready. I have NOT ONE stocking stuffer purchased or made. I have NOT ONE Christmas gift taken care of. And, if you forget, I have 7 kids to do-- yikes.

Today I'm off to a family Christmas party. I am LUCKY I only had to make salad. I want to blog. I want to put up my Christmas lights. I want to decorate the tree. I want to go for a jog. I want to catch up on my PVR'd TV shows.

But no. Today I will be Mrs. McSpanky at Will's family party.

Six Word Saturday- Sunday counts, right?

True Honeymoons Never Really End, Right?




(a few shots of Will and I on our trip to Vancouver last week. I'll post about that soon.)
