Yuck. A rainy January day. Should be a nice mucky mess out there today. On the positive side, it's a balmy 4 degrees!

Sunday night bath time. Pure relaxation and bliss. Nice hot cup of tea, great book and peace and quiet. Great way to wrap up a weekend.

My daughter's best friend's birthday party is today. As you can tell from the photo, A is very excited as it's a dress up party and she gets to wear her fancy dress. Good times were had by all!

No, you are not seeing things. This is my daughter wearing a bathing suit on January 22nd. She's got her own unique sense of fashion! Luckily, I talked her into putting a long sleeve shirt and a pair of pants over top before we went out shopping!

The shame! This is my dining room table almost a month after Christmas. Still piled high with all the Christmas decorations I should have packed away a couple of weeks ago. In my defence, I've been trying to find a new way to store them, but really, I'm just a terrible procrastinator!

Pretty cool, huh? It's a bruised banana - kind of gross, too, but I thought it looked neat!

Can you believe my sweet little 4 year old did this today? This is where our towel rack was anchored into the wall. She did this trying to pull her towel off the rack. Daddy was NOT impressed. Oops!

January 18th, 2010

Spent the morning colouring and doing crafts. Ahhh - happy, quiet children. Pure bliss.

Yummy - my favourite breakfast.

January 16th, 2010

Puzzle done. Those flowers were a pain in the neck!! It only took one day because I became obsessed with finishing it and stayed up waaay too late last night!

January 15th, 2010

Puzzle fun.

January 14th, 2010

Playing hide and seek with the kidlets. Hmmm - I wonder where they could be?

January 13th, 2010

The bane of my existence. The half wall that collects all the junk. Everyone has one, right? The place where every single family member decides to dump their crap when they walk by? Please tell me I'm not the only one!

A's work of art that suddenly appeared on our kitchen counter. My little Picasso!

January 11th, 2010

My birthday. It was great - got an Ipod Nano from hubby, book from the kids, got to sleep in and spent the afternoon volunteering at A's school. This was dinner: pad thai with shrimp, chicken curry with sticky rice, and shrimp spring roll from the local Thai takeout place. And I got to go and pick it up while hubby put both kids to bed. Sweeet!

Excuse the manic expression on my face! This was the birthday dinner thrown for me by my mum. C was really excited about blowing out the candles (each of the kids got their own cupcake and candle to blow out, too!). Great food and a really nice evening. Thanks Mum!

January 9th, 2010

Ahhhh - coffee! Some days, my Nespresso machine and the lattes it makes are the only thing that keeps me on my feet!

Theo having a snooze on the kitchen floor.

A's first ever time on skates. Taking a lesson with Daddy at the rink. A few tears near the beginning when she realized it was going to be harder than she thought, but in the end, she was moving all by herself and so proud of herself! She says she's going to start playing hockey at 6, so Daddy was pretty proud!! (Sorry for the crappy photo quality - I managed to take about 2 pictures before the camera battery died!)

January 6th, 2010

One of my New Year's plans is to wash all our sheets and towels on Wednesdays, since nothing else good seems to happen on hump day. So after a long Wednesday, here's my nice fresh bed, all ready for me to climb in. Pure bliss!

January 5th, 2010

This is where C and I spent the morning: in the pediatrician's waiting room. Poor C has a nasty ear infection and possible ruptured ear drum. Starting antibiotics and ear drops today and we go back in 15 days for a follow up. Poor little man.

January 4th, 2010

First day back to school for A after the Christmas holidays. Finally a day to relax at home with nowhere else to be. So C and I cracked open a bag of chips and watched some telly this afternoon!

January 3rd, 2010

Our last "event" of the holidays. Tea at my mother-in-law's (in white vest) with my mum (in brown) and my husband's second cousin and his wife (neither of whom are pictured). Good times, but I'm glad the get togethers are over for a while. What a busy Christmas season this has been!

January 2nd, 2010

Snowy day today - staying in for a quiet day at home.

January 1st, 2010

I figured it was only fitting that the first picture of this project should be of me.
