How cute are these........

................little camera's. I found them at the antique place in the mall yesterday. I have been wanting to find old cameras for the shelves in my scrap room. One of them even had the little book to go with it. Book club is tonight, which I am happy about. Trying to finish my homework. Yikes! It's just like when I was in school, waiting till the last minute. There does not seem to be much exciting to tell, life is still busy with the daily stuff. One of the boys on Connor's hockey team broke his collar bone on his 4 wheeler over the weekend. I still remember how much that hurts. Sarah got her report card for the 1st term and she had a 79% average in late immersion. We were happy with that, she says next year when she is back in English she should be able to get 90's. She still has too much homework but has resigned herself to that is the way it will be and comes home and just starts plugging away at it. She is such a great kid. I am starting to freak out a little about Christmas, I need to clean my house and decorate, do not have much shopping done yet. My sister is coming home though so that is what I should focus on. It will be so great this year to have all our family together for Christmas. Last week Annie started a new job, so we had her here for supper the night before as a celebration of her going back to work, notice the cake in the photo........."working sucks"

Have a good one.

This is no Winter Wonderland!

Holy crap!!!!!!!!!! We had a 2 1/2 hr drive home from Halifax last night in that freak'n Nor-easter storm. Connor and I were driving with Kellen from his hockey team and his father. We were on the divided highway and went off the road into the ditch section between the two highways, around and back up on the road and kept driving home. Then I got my truck in Aylesford where I had left it and almost went in the ditch in front of my house. So, needless to say we are not on our way to Halifax for the game this morning, but some are. Here are a few pictures of what it looks like outside the house. Hope all you girls in Moncton are having lots of fun!

Broken "blogging" fingers.......

.........that's what Annie asked me this morning if I had. I am lazy, I read everyone's blog and then skip writing on my own. We made it thru the big storm. Not much happened in Harmony except wind and rain, the power did not even flicker once. Kids and me were a little disappointed the power did not go out. Sarah was at Annie's that night for Elysia's Bday sleepover, so Connor set up a bed in our room on the floor. This is a picture of Sarah, I wanted to show you how here teeth are doing........she is such a good sport about the braces, any kid who wears them should get a pat on the back.....and any parents who pay for them should get a medal. It's a long and painful process on both ends.

So, I will not be going to Moncton this weekend. Connor's hockey team is playing in a tournament in Sackville, and I just can't bring myself to send him with someone else. Jeff has the farm so cannot be at any games and I am always worried he might get hurt and one of us would not be there. I know it probably sounds silly, but I would be worried all weekend. I can't get my registration back, so they will send me the kits. I will miss all the fun with you wild and crazy ex "2MF" girls. Have a few laughs for me. I would say behave but I know that is not possible.

I shopped at "The Barn" , it was great. Ria and Paulette you have a great setup there. I'm sure I will make frequent trips to see you.

Congats Annie on your job, but I will miss you on my days off.

The day after.........

........means too many peanut butter cups last night! Connor had a friend from hockey up last night to trick or treat. Sarah hung out with me, she did not want to go out with her friends in Kingston, cause there are too many weirdos she said. We only had 12 door bell ringers last night, and 5 of them were cousins. Every year it's less and less. Here's some photos of our pumpkins and Connor and his friend.
