Busy busy busy....




It's new years eve and hubby just went upstairs to pour me a drink....baileys and milk please! The hockey game sounded so exciting earlier tonight, I could hear my boys getting excited upstairs while I was scrapbooking in my room. Lots going on, Christmas is over, the house is tidy again, seems so bare with the tree down.


Here are a few layouts that I did today, the last few days have been nice at home, work is just around the corner though!

The company children's Christmas party...






Rich's employer hosts a wonderful Christmas party every year and this December they held it at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. I have not had the pleasure of visiting the museum before and was I shocked to see such a marvelous place. The event was held in the middle of all the airplanes.....if you can imagine all the war planes in a very large hanger and then an open space for tables, food and activities....it was so wonderful.

Olivia was doing really well as we talked about going up to see Santa and I really thoought she might be just fine.....but no.....the picture here in the post shows her screaming. After she opened her gift she asked for another one...

My boy kid......


He needs to wear glasses but won't. So I took him to see a different doctor to see if maybe the prescription was a bit off in the first pairs, she gave him half the strength so he could adjust easily and then move on to his full prescription. So we went to our favorite glasses place and he was trying on all kinds of glasses when he picked up this horrible yellow pair and stuck them on his face. He is not too happy with having to wear glasses so I let him pick out the frames he likes, kind of gives him some say in the whole thing. I don't like them but he LOVES them. What can I say? I guess Bono has yellow glasses...what do I know? The man looks at me and says "Do you really want them?" I replied "if he's gonna wear them then I'm gonna buy them"

Tonight we picked up his glasses and he's had them on all night. So far so good. He does have a "normal" pair too. In the grand scheme of things does it really matter what they look like? I couldn't care or less. I love that he has the confidence to pick them out and wear them...gosh I hope everything goes ok at school tomorrow....LOL.
