Flooded.

Yup. We are flooded. Our basement, our city, our region. Every thing is deffinately water logged. Roads are washing out, and new lakes are forming. I'm glad insurence hasn't come to fix my basement yet, because it in the process of flooding again!

So while my basement is out of commission, we are all crammed into the up stairs. We are all cranky and needing space. The worst part, is not only did we loose half our house, we can't go outside because it's so wet.

Yup, I don't think i could get any more stressed out. But I'm trying to roll with it. :). Which is hard. Especially since Danny has picked up extra shifts at work. He has worked the last 8 days and still had 4 to go. He usually works 4 on 4 off. So not only am I crammed up stairs with 7 kids I can't take out, i (or my kids) haven't seen Daniel I'm over a week! *sigh* it will pass, right?

Lovin life!

I am LOVING this summer weather! Last week it was so rainy and depressing, but this week it's been nice and hot!!! I took the kidlets to Beach Day yesterday and we had a playdate with another daycare this morning in her backyard and now we are playing in the back yard with the pools and water! We are DEFFINATELY taking advantage of the sun!!! All the sun is making me crave the Okanagan! We have decided to go September 15th to 26th. Nana will be soo excited! I am a little worried that all the touristy things will be shut down, as I love going and just being a tourist! But, I am sill pretty pumped about it :)

Had to share this photo of Ashlyn and the garden we planted together!!! :) she is pretty proud of it!!!

My job!!

Though there are a lot of not so glorious tasks about doing day are (like all the diapers), I have to say, I LOVE MY JOB. At this very moment, im earning money, spending time/playing with my kids, while relaxing OUTSIDE enjoying the giggles of seven little kidlets!!! Pretty awesome job. This pic, is what all the giggles are about!

Not sure life could get anymore perfect than it is at this moment!!!!

:) Little R growing so big!!!

Rowan really is getting big. He has learned how to climb out of his crib, and how to undo the crib tent. So, he's sleeping in a toddler bed!! I think I will get Daniel to bring the captains bed up from the basement though. One less move we have to do latter on. For now, the toddler bed was a quick solution to nap time today. I was so worried that he was going to fall and split his head open climbing out of his crib.

Rowan is also peeing on the potty!! Not consistly, but sometimes! Hey! Gotta start some where, right? The other day I striped him down to go for his bath. He was running arroung giggling trying to get away from me, when all of a sudden he grabbed himself and yelled, "potty! Potty! Potty!". He ran over, sat down, and peed! I swear, it's the cloth bums we use! Both my kids became aware of their pee so early! I a deff plus!!!!

Rowan had also started to repeat everything we say, and is talking two word sentences! Ahhhhh! Life without a baby!!! I loved my babies but I'm glad both my kids can now tell me what they want with their words, instead of crying.

Nice, Sunshiny, Day?

Okay, so the sun was shining, birds were chirping. I decided to take the kids outside to play for an hour before home time. We all head tothe door, dress, and head out. Within 2 minutes, we are all headed back inside. Why? Well the sun left, the wind picked up, and the snow came. Within 2 minutes, the entire spring day was ruined. Where are all the nice days??????

This photo was taken just after we got inside. You can actually see the snow coming down. Crazy how much it snowed in like 2 minutes!!!

Ugh!

My yard was, almost, free of snow. Today, it looks like this.

Gross. I know. After being teased a little with spring, mother nature decided to say "Fuck. You.". And I have to admit, she sure got us. For the very afternoon before the evening it started to snow, Danny put on our summer tiers. We were so thrilled, giggling with delight. Look who's laughing now.

Sister Wife Anyone?

I am confidant that I'm not the only one who's couch has looked like this at least once. Between Daniel and I, we can get the laundry washed and dried and brought upstairs (and yes it takes two of us to do this). The problem is, we then need a third person to fold it and put it away! Not only is this antime consuming task, it's also one we avoid like the plague. Why? I'm not really sure. No one wants to do that job though. Maybe we should take on a "sister wife" to get our laundry done! :p
