it is friday night

It is Friday Night & although it is 8o'clock we just finished having our miss mash supper, and now we are gearing up for a movie. Tod is preparing to snuggle with me & watch "P. S. I Love You". I went to the theater to watch this with the girls, we cried & are all agree that we need to go to Ireland. . . You need to watch the movie to see why & maybe you will be on the next train with us.
Happy Weekend !!

catch up

We are on the count down for Fluffy's babies. It is any day now and the house is buzzing with anticipation. Avery is so worried that she is going to miss it all she is constantly asking if the babies are here. . . .We will keep you posted.
Last Friday I had a home party with 3 parties in one, it was great! I had Silpada (Jewelry) http://www.silpada.com, Uppercase living (wall stickers) http://www.uppercaseliving.com/, and Two peas in a Pod (wood crafts). We had so much Fun the party lasted until just after 10:00pm. Thanks girls for all coming it was nice to relax and not talk work or Hockey! All though I have acquired a new sign from Two peas in a Pod which reads: There are four Seasons . . . Spring, Summer, Fall and Hockey! Goes with our life so well, don't you think.
It is getting close to March and the bike is itching to come off the wall. I have to train for the MS Tour and then get on my runners, I had a lack of oxygen this morning when I agreed to participate in a run called Melissa's Run. It is a race held in Banff and although 2 of my friends signed up for the 22km run I opted to take the challenge of the 10km run. I am sure I can do the 10km, but not so sure about the 22km, maybe I can work up to that the following year. I am looking forward to doing it and challenging myself.
tonight was a bitter sweet night . . . Keri had a last supper for her Nanny Riza. Riza is leaving the neighborhood. Yes she was the Waters' Nanny, but she was every bodies cook when spring and summer hit, it was nice to know that Riza had everything under control, and the food was fabulous. She also did some baby sitting for myself when I started going back to work. We will miss her, but are so excited for Dean & Keri to take a new step in their life and one that will have them on their toes for a while. I am always here for you Keri. . . The supper tonight was awesome, home made Spring rolls, Borscht, Potatoes and gravy & Pork kabobs, with a chocolate cake to top it off. What a great supper. . . You will be missed Riza thank you for everything you did for the neighborhood!
Hope you all appreciate the little things in life because you never know when they are going to be gone. Good Night!

Procrastination

P R O C R A S T I N A T I O N. . . what a big heavy word! I have done it and regret it. I was the step in secretary for our T.E.P.A. Board, which really I am the Vice President and have the cushiest job ever. Non the less I was in charge of the Min's from the last meeting and now tonight I remembered that I haven't typed up the Min's. Yikes I got it done but what a pain in the butt and I am so not good with my words. Thank heavens for the President, Shawna you are awesome. Well my big long word is not one that I like to use often or at all, but it came into play tonight and I didn't much like it.

Family Day

Today was our province wide Family Day. Yes you are supposed to spend time with your Family having fun. Well my day started off early, I had to go shovel the walk @ the post office by 7:30am. I got home & was freezing, the house was still quite with no sound of anybody stirring, so I ate breakfast in the quite & crawled back into my nice warm bed. Tod then woke up by9:30 & the rest of the house was starting to get restless. He got out of bed & began the breakfast duty. I could hear him unloading the dishwasher & loading it back up again, & washing some dishes by hand. Next thing I new he was vacuuming the upstairs and came in to the room to say Hi! & ask me how my morning was going. Well as you can tell from the first part it was great. It was already 11:00am & I had done nothing, except shovel early this morning, I was just lying in bed looking out the window @ the beautiful sun wishing for the warmth, but knowing that as soon as I stuck my nose out the door the -15 was going to hit me hard. Avery came & crawled in with me & together we finished all her reading books.
Well since it was time for lunch I figured I would hit the shower & get ready to go to the complex. Yes we are their a lot but today was different. They had games, free bowling and free skating all after noon. Avery was dying to go skating so off we went. We got their & to our surprise it was busy. We ended up on the ice for a good hour & a half and then an hour of crafts and games and it was time to come home. We all had a good time and I think Tod has convinced me to let the girls play Hockey next year. . .YIKES!! It's not that I don't want them to play it is just a bigger amount of time we get to spend in the rink. Well on the positive side if I know what they are doing and have to be their for them to do it they can't get into to much trouble. The girls have been begging to play for a while and they can both skate like the wind now we just have to work on that stick and puck coordination, good thing we have a few months to figure this all out. The Pharis Family had a great Family Day. . . hope the rest of you did too. . .
Happy Family Day

she is 11. . .

Aspen turned 11, ELEVEN, on Friday. WOW! I can't belive that she is that old yet. It was not to long ag I was still waking up in the night with her, feeding her, still allowed in the bathroom with her and new everything that was going on in school without asking 100 questions. She had 9 girls for a movie hotub party and they all had a blast. The last 2 went home at 11:00pm and 2 girls spent the night. They ended up staying up talking till 1am or so. It was a good party!
Aspen I can't believe I have an eleven year old daughter. It is amazing to me. . .
