~Felt Like A Kid Again!!~

I was treated to a ticket to the Anne Of Green Gables Musical last week! The original 'plan' was for Victoria to attend with Grandma, Catherine and Rebecca, but with Grandma Dale having a bad fall last week Sharon(Grandma) wasn't able to go and handed her ticket down to me. I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I was/am. Seems like no big deal to some, but being that it was my first ever live theatre/musical experience, I was on cloud 9 through the entire thing. I don't think my big silly grin ever left my face..lol. Victoria also had a great time and I have told Robert we HAVE to do it again!!! Thanks again Sharon, I loved it :)

Victoria spent Sunday at the Ex(an annual tradition with Auntie Cathy) and while she was away Joshua went over the the Neighbours House to play(Our Neighbour right beside us has a little boy from his class) The boys played together for hours and at about 5pm Joshua comes to the door all wet from the sprinkler and says, "Can I have dinner at Nathans house?" I said, "Did they invite you?" He says, "I asked them if I could and they said yes." I really have to work on his manners ;) He did end up staying for dinner and was wiped out by all the fun he had and fell asleep in no time.

I cannot believe that in a week I have a Daughter in Grade 5...gulp...I cant believe how quickly she is growing up. We have done our back to school shopping and have our indoors and we are ready to go! Joshua is very excited to get back to school too, he will be in Senior Kindergarten this year and we will find out who each of them have as Teachers later this week.

~Fun Day!!~

We had an amazing day today. The weather was just perfect and not a cloud in the sky! We went to Sting Ray Bay and got to get up close and touch them, it was incredible. Victoria said it was her favorite part of the day. We literally spent about a half an hour with our hands in the pool petting them. Some of them came right up and put their faces out of the water looking at us. Here is a shot of Victoria's hand touching one

I cannot for the life of me remember what this little thing is called but he was just so cute asleep up in the tree we had to get a picture of him!

A Giraffe of course ;)
Couple shots of Victoria having fun!

It was a wonderful break and my phone didn't ring once which was a bonus! Thanks to my little Girl for such a wonderful day!

~Mother/Daughter Day Tomorrow!~

I am taking the day off tomorrow to go to the Zoo with Victoria and her Friend and her Mom. Victoria and I don't get a lot of time to spend alone so Joshua will still be going to Daycare and we are going to have a girls only day. I am looking forward to spending a whole day with my little Girl :) I will be sure to take lots of pictures of our day!

Now here is to a DRY day,which has been extremely hard to come by this summer!

~Kids Rooms~

Here are the pictures of the kids rooms. This is Victoria's room, she is really enjoying having a big room and that her space is so her own now. I think the timing is just perfect now that she is getting older.


This is her reading spot and Baileys favorite chair he sits on the back to watch out the window on.
Here is Joshua's room. If you remember this one the room with the floral wallpaper. We planned on ripping the paper off until we starting doing some work at the house. It came evidentthat the house is very old(80years we learned) and the walls are plaster and not drywall so taking the paper down would have been a disaster. I did 2 coats of primer and 2 coats plus touch ups of the paint and it actually looks great.

~Holiday Fun~

It was a long weekend this past weekend and we got to spend some time outside since the day was absolutely p-e-r-f-e-c-t! Victoria was hiding out in her room AKA the Girl Cave with a friend and Joshua played outside and ran through the sprinkler.

I just love these two shots, definately going to print them out and frame them! You should be able to click on them to open in a seperate window...you must do that to really see the shot, I am so proud of myself..lol



Joshua is doing some serious backyard fun catching up! He loves having a big yard to play in :)

~We're Home!!~

So we are IN the house and loving it! We have had both our Parents over to see it so I am going to post some 'moved in' photos :)

The Dining Room~



Living/Family Room~
...Guess I should have turned the TV off..lol



I will post the bedrooms tomorrow...
The kids love the house, they spend most of their time outside playing. My Mom and Dad came over yesterday and Mom and I watched the guys put the BBQ together and when they finished we enjoyed some burgers on it!

On another note I wanted to wish my Mom and Dad a Happy 35th Wedding Anniversary!!! Man that's a long time!! Love you both and love to see you both so in love even after all these years.....
