Hello my name is Nin and I'm a horrible Blogger.

I'm processing a TON, and I promise, someday I will actually post something with meat.... or at least some sort of solid food, but until then, another pointed update.


SON:
-loves picking his nose and finding "poo poo's".
-WILL NOT leave the poor kitty alone, who's name according to him is "puppy".
-is doing surprisingly well with the tree.
-likes to climb into the bathroom sink and turn the hot water on.
-thinks it's facinating that I turn and say "yes?" when he says my name over and over and over and over....
-still loves to draw on walls, and backs of doors with black eyeliner.
-loves the snow, and going "bye bye", especially for "nums nums" at "mar-mart".


DAUGHTER:
-is so beautiful.
-counting down the sleeps till her birthday (23 more sleeps till she's 8!!)
-loves Pokemon and Bakugan, both of which I know nothing about.
-loves to play school on the wipeboard.
-her teacher had only perfect things to share with us at our parent-teacher interview (which didn't surprise us) ; )
-gets to set up my grandpa's little Christmas tree in her room! and is super pumped!


ME/HUBBY/ME & HUBBY:
-love lifting eachother up, love that we fit so well together, love that we're a team through it all.
-love seeing how I'm becoming more like him, and he's becoming more like me.
-am getting annoyed with the cat already..... and hubby won't let me complain.
-as far as we can tell, hubby's allergies have been healed!
-am I the only one? or does it not feel like Christmas?


Daughter's tradition.....


Our Christmas idol, as well as my excuse to be as anal as I truly am.

One of my good friends from highschool came over with her boyfriend for supper/games Friday night. It was a blast, we shared many laughs, especially when the yearbook came out. I needed that...... Thanks Liz : )

us.........

Me:

-was asked by a mother at daughter's school where my Hawaii tan was..... had to then explain that daughter went without me : (

-recently put a stud in my 7 year old eyebrow piercing, and am fully impressed that the hole is still alive and well after 6 years of dormancy.


-am looking forward to our life group's sushi making party on Tuesday.


-am happy, blessed and extermely thankful to my hubby, who despite his sever allergies, has aggreed to let us have our very own kitty! (after four years of wife bugging and bugging and bugging him)

Daughter:

-has today and tomorrow off school!!! Yay!


-is having a sleepover with her cousin Isaiah tonight.... it's 10:36 and they're still giggling..... I went up there to see what all the noise was and they were having a laugh attack..... I joined in.


-is counting down the sleeps till her 8th birthday. 37 more.... what on earth am I gonna do with an 8 year old?


-brought home her Hawaii pictures from her other parents house today, in a scrapbook made by her other mommy, with commentary written beside each picture : )


Son:

-LOVES the kitty!

-is learning much about being gentle and listening.

-is cuter than anything ever, and no one is capable of staying mad at him for longer than a few seconds.

-loves Quik chocolate milk, Baby Einstein dvds, Cariboo, Magnets, Aquadoodle, bologna, and windexing the coffee table.


Hubby:
-wonders why he's always last with these point form updates?

-is doing awesome with his allergies! We all thought he'd be dead by now, but he is very much alive and well (minus one plugged nostrel)

-really does love his little sinus enemy deep deep down......



and finally....

Mercy:

-our new kitty, who hasn't had a name all weekend. Poor thing has been "it" (can you tell I'm an animal lover?)

-Was given a name once daughter came home. We grabbed her bible and she flipped through the pages with her eyes closed, hit a page with her finger and read out that word. Of course we had to do it a few times over....... since we weren't going to name the cat "Money" or "Judges". But then she picked a word....and the very next try, she picked the very same word. So... meet,

Mercy.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away.....
















The kids had a blast : )
Daniel was super cute! My little Obi Wan. He had three small "moments". First when he saw Noah's ninja mask, second when he saw some mans funny hair-d0 (who wasn't even wearing a costume, he just had crazy hair), and last when he ran into his nemisis Darth Vader while making his rounds. Understandibly so, since Darth is the one who kills him. But he caught on very quick. He would close the door as soon as the people would give him his candy, and say "bye".
My poor poor little princess Leia....... came home sick yesterday with a sore tummy and bit of a fever. She went to school for the afternoon today because it was "fun day", and there was no way a little fever was stopping her from partaking. Unfortunately, I think she really pushed herself today, hence why the trick or treating ended slightly early and she came home with a tummy ache and a strong desire for bed. Although before the sore tummy set in, she had tons of fun. All her friends kept asking her who the heck she was, but of course all the moms and dads knew, and told her she had the best costume ever. (one man even said, she was after his heart! Weeeeeird)
All in all it was really fun! And I'm so blessed to have such amazing and cute kids, to call mine!
P.S. I made the costumes all by myself!!!
P.P.S. This is a very big deal, since I've never done any such thing before in my life.
P.P.P.S. We were the fave house on the block..... we gave out cans of pop!
P.P.P.P.S..........I dunno. I'm done I guess. I got nothin.

A catch-up picture post

Gasp! Baby!!!

Mommy's shampoo and conditioner all over the floor...

and all over baby....
My little princess came home to us on Friday evening! I was so happy! We hugged and hugged and hugged and hugged. She was so brown! She hadn't slept for basically two days, but in the excitement of finally being home she found a reserve of energy, alot of energy. It was wonderful.


She bought us all presents! This is my new shirt, I was so blessed that I cried. She got me a little container of sand from the beach, shirts for Daniel and Chris, magnets, toys, and a necklace. She found a coral in the ocean and put it in her fishtank. I can't wait to get pictures from her other parents, to see all her Hawaian adventures.


My little jet-lagged girl slept until 1pm! She was shocked and giggly to hear she slept through breakfast and lunch! She woke up just in time for her Welcome Home party!
We had Hawaian music playing the background,


and a "pin the Jonah on the island" game.


It was a hit, espeically when Jonah ended up in the tree or the sun.


It stopped raining just in time for us to go outside and hit the Flip-Flop pinyata!

Noah the strongest....

and Isaiah the giggliest.


Us out for my birthday/Jonah's welcome home supper. Color contrast much?


Daddy and Repunzel, who also joined us at supper.


We went to Ruckers after supper and all got addicted to Deal or No Deal.


The Crime....

The gettaway....

Caught, green-handed.



Good morning sleepy-head! I was so anxious to see her again that I finally woke her at 11.



The 'Fro.


Back to school already!

The statue.


The new hanging chair from my trip to Ikea!

My son's new fave.

MY BEEF FOR TODAY

Commercial for CentriLean diet pills:

Lady on commercial - "Do you love food so much that you can't eat less? Do you hate the thought of excersize? Normally, I would tell you to change your lifestyle as soon as possible....
But not anymore! Now with our new revolutionary suppliment, you can lose weight, by doing NOTHING!"

Here's the caption at the bottom that they don't want you to see:

*INDIVIDUAL RESULTS VARY. FOR MAXIMUM WEIGHT LOSS, DIET AND EXERCISE ARE ADVISED. AVERAGE OVER 8 WEEK UNIVERSITY STUDY WAS 3.43 LBS AND APPROXIMATELY 1 PANT OR DRESS SIZE. THESE STATEMENTS HAVE NOT BEEN EVALUATED BY THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION. THIS PRODUCT IS NOT INTENDED TO DIAGNOSE, TREAT, CURE OR PREVENT ANY DISEASE.

So, let's cut to the chase, let's not beat around the bush and sugar coat what's being said.
DO NOTHING, don't bother getting healthy. Don't work your heart muscle, which is the most important muscle in your body. Don't eat well, and fill your body with all the vitamins and nutrients it needs. Eat whatever you want, and, eat as much as you want. If food is a god in your life, so what. If laziness rules over your days, so what.
Do all this and we can barely guarantee you these results:
In 8 weeks, which is two whole months, you can lose nearly 4 pounds. FOUR pounds.....in 2 months...... (Which is probably less than what you could lose in ONE week if you were eating healthy and in moderation and excersizing)

Note, they tell you to do nothing, but also tell you in the fine print that if you do nothing, you will not get desired results.


People!! Eat WELL, live WELL, get some excersize, say no to the second helping, stop eating crap like fast and fried foods (or only eat them once in a while), cut down on your sugar.....and guess what, you will lost weight. It's not rocket science! There are no quick fixes, it takes work. And it's hard work, no doubt about that! There are no pills or even programs out there that will change you without you having to walk in change. It took one step in front of the other to get to where you are, and it will take one step in front of the other in the opposite direction to get to where you want to be.
It saddens me to see on so many commercials, billboards and magazines, the reality that we live in a quick fix society, that doesn't care about out character, it cares about our comfort and outter shell.


Phew.....there, that's it.

And we're off!


Our only mishap on the way there.

Yes, the mirror came off, and yes, we finally got it back on.


West Ed Mall awaits us!

Nicole: "You didn't tell me this went upside down!! I'm scared!"
Me: "Don't worry, no one's died on this for a long time."

So how was it?
Nicole: "I don't know, my eyes were closed."


So how was it?
Me: "Rock on dude! Let's go again!"


Where's the party?


My poor poor shopped out feet....
And no I don't have a pinky toenail.


S'up.

Another day of shopping here we come.


A statement I can stand on.


I already want to go back..... oh Ikea, how I love thee, let me count the ways...


Auntie Leanne....

and Uncle Gord. My two faves.

Chillin.
