Last 'Miranda Day'

Ace & Scarlett have really enjoyed their time at Miranda's Day Home!  Today was their last day as full-time kids (I'm sure they'll be back for a day or two) since my work is winding down at the new house.  It has been great getting to know their family over the past few months and we are so thankful to have found such a wonderful babysitter like Miranda...afterall, she was the MOST important sub-contractor on our job of building the house; without her, it wouldn't have been possible!

Snow Removal Specialist

Whenever there is snow to be removed, my Dad jumps at the opportunity.

Project 365 Kit

My Project 365 kit finally arrived, it is amazing!  Can't wait to start printing my January photos and start journalling.  Good news, the kit is being re-released (after selling out in such a short time), you can get yours here.

{Lori, I took this photo in front of my office paint color you had asked about, jalepeno pepper...let me know if you like it?}

Project 365: 1.25

On our trip to Estevan, we stopped to take a photo of the Boundary Dam Power Station on this very cold day.  Last year, Canada's PM announced that this facility would be the first to proceed with the Carbon Capture Project in efforts to regulate greenhouse gas emissions in major industrial sectors such as Southeast Saskatchewan.

And a trip to Estevan just wouldn't be complete without a stop for coffee/tea at Tim Hortons

Bored at the Jobsite

I found Ace dressed up in Daddy's hockey equipment while I was painting at the new house today...he kept himself quite occupied.

Paint Crew

We have been cruizing along with the painting of our new home.  We've had lots of helpers, especially my parents.  Here's my Mom & I (above) after we painted our memories & music room in Bahaman Sea Blue.

And here's Dad, Mom & me (below) after we painted the dining room in Fairview Taupe.

Frosty Morning

It was a beautiful frosty morning!  I snapped this before I began painting for the day at our soon-to-be new house.

Beautiful Sunrise

As I drove the kids to their day home, we stopped to take in the sunrise.  They had never paid attention to a sunrise before and thought it was a desert in the sky.  Then I went into explaining about the sunrise and sunset, they were thrilled to learn about it.

Fun with a box

We took our cardboard recycling in and brought home the empty box we toss it into.  Ace & Scarlett had so much fun playing for hours after we got home with this simple box.

Round Rice

Tonight was the first time the kids tried barley.  I made this quick dish that was so yummy and told them that it was 'round' rice (since they love rice so much), so they'd eat it.  It worked, I wouldn't say they love it, but they tried it and ate it, yay!

Painting

Today was a painting day for my Dad & I.  Edgecomb Gray was the winner of main paint color, but Revere Pewter came in as second, so I've decided to put it in the master & ensuite.  I'm actually liking this painting bit, but ask me in a week or so, my tune may change?

Ski-do Day

Mom & Dad invited us for a Ski-do Day at their shop followed by a BBQ.  It was great weather for riding around & everyone had a great time.

Retro Helmet

During our ski-do day, I sported this totally awesome retro helmet that is probably older than me...too funky.

An Evening with Friends

We were invited out to the Irwin acreage along with the Gies family for an evening of visiting and playtime for the kids.  Here's Ace, Mercedes & Scarlett enjoying a little snack together.

Toys

Ace & Scarlett playing with their favorite toys of the moment after I picked them up from daycare today.  For Ace it's Bakugan balls and for Scarlett it's her babies.

Cold Day

We woke today to a -42 degrees Celsius temperature.  Hard to believe that this beautiful sunset took place on one of the coldest days of our winter here in Saskatchewan.

Battlestar Galactia Returns to TV

It's frackin' great news for all Sci Fi fans to hear that Battlestar Galactica is finally returning to launch what will be it's final season beginning this Friday, January 16th!  Us fans have 9 new episodes to look forward to in this trilling show, I'm so excited and the PVR is set!  The photo above is of the character Kara Thrace, call-sign 'Starbuck'...there are many reasons I like this gal ;)

Visit from Nana

We love our evening visits from Nana!  She comes over between dinner & bedtime to check in and say 'HI'.  Tonight we were all having hot chocolate as a treat.

Ace's First Piano Recital

Ace has been taking Music for Young Children in the Sunshine 1 level since September.  Tonight was his New Years recital (held in the basement of the United Church) & we were so proud of him when he got up in front of the audience to play a song he choose.  I attend lessons each week with Ace, as parental assistance is required in these pre-school level classes.  It is so great so see Ace progress from week to week and the program has a very well-created teaching process.  And Mrs. Mitchell is a wonderful teacher with alot of patience.

Then his class played 'The Farmer in the Dell' using other instruments.

It was an entertaining evening!  PS: We're looking to purchase a piano if anyone knows of one for sale.
