44/52 - PJ's

I just love all the Pj's that are available for little boys ...

 

they are just so cute.  Happy Wednesday!

 

SnOW & a Little Sneak Peak!

Well we have been anticipating it all week with the radio and news stations going on about it none stop and here we are Friday and it finally arrived in our area ... SNOW {insert sad face}. There should be a rule that it can not snow until a week after Halloween. The snow just makes the temperature outside much to cold for the little ones to trick or treat.

Hope everyone has been having a good week. I can not believe Friday is here already! Here's a sneak peak at what we were up to Thursday evening ...

If you missed our post about the Lil Man's last hair cut you can find it HERE. It was probably my worst trip ever to the mall with the Lil Man. Needless to say I was a little apprehensive to return there with him to trim his hair again so we decided to take matters into our own hands. We are big DIYers and this was an item on our list. Perhaps we are a little TOO adventurous ... check back next week for the out come photo!

Hope everyone has a good weekend!!

42/52 Curls, Sick, & George

The Lil Man's curls are starting to come back. I love his curls but I think it's almost time for another hair cut.

 

This week has been a bit of a rough week ... the Lil Man has not been feeling the greatest because he has been sick with a cold since the long weekend. Mid way through this week I of course caught it too. There should be a rule that mom's are not allowed to get sick when their little ones are sick because it just plain sucks {insert extremely sad face}. 

The one nice thing about us both being sick ... I get extra cuddle time with the Lil Man which I love and will take it for as long as I can. This week we have been watching a little more tv than usual simply because the Lil man has not really been feeling like playing. I let him pick what he wants to watch and of course for the past little while his favourite show to watch is Curious George. When you ask him what he wants to watch he instantly says "George" and that is all we seem to watch on TV.

I've been meaning to post this for the last couple days but I am just getting a chance to do it now. Hope everyone is enjoying this cool and wet weekend.

41/52 Nursery Rhyme Time

Wow! I can not believe it is Thanksgiving already! Sneaking this post in almost at the last minute this week ... things are still a bit crazy at our place and probably will be for the next couple weeks. As I was picking the pictures for this post I realized I really need to use the SLR more. It just seems so much easier using the iPod as it is always an arms reach away. Knowing my luck, if I have the SLR around the Lil Man will probably refuse to have his picture taken.

For the past little while we have been having fun looking at all the pictures on Hugo's beautiful nursery rhyme quilt his Oma handmade for him! As we look at each of the pictures I say the nursery rhyme and he just loves it and is really starting to pay more attention to what is going on in the picture. I must admit there are a couple of nursery rhymes I really need to practice but for now I can make it up and he doesn't correct me yet. 

 

 

Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving with family and friends. Happy Thanksgiving!!

 



5 Years Ago Today...

... we were saying I Do! I can not believe 5 years have past already. 

Seeing as I was not blogging then I thought I would share some photos from our wedding day -- it was a cool windy fall day, mainly overcast (which was perfect for photos) and it spit a bit while we were heading to our reception location (Tangle Creek). The fall colours surrounding Tangle Creek were beautiful as you can see in the following photo.

 

 

 

I can not believe it was 5 years ago that I married my best friend, an amazing husband and father. So lucky to be able to call you my husband!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

 

40/52 - Life Lesson from an Almost Two Year Old ...

Every day no matter how busy our day is the Lil Man ALWAYS insists we stop and smell the flowers! This has been going on for a couple months now. At first it was really frustrating. It would be time for us to head inside and he would decide he had to stop and smell the flowers.

We get home from running out and the first thing he runs to do before I can even convince him to go inside ... admire and smell the flowers.

Now, however, I am grateful that he started doing this. We are surrounded by such beauty around us, and quite often we are just so busy running around and never take a moment in the day to take it all in. In a couple weeks we will be surrounded by a different type of beauty {a blanket of that fluffy white stuff}. If you have not done it today ... take a minute and smell the flowers before they are gone until next year.

Hard to believe October has arrived. Happy Tuesday!
