Day 12

So today was a relaxing day at home. Tristan was at Hockey Day in Canada so it was just me and the kids. We went shopping for a bit and when we got home there was some Wii playing and mini egg eating. Fun times!

Day 11

I joined a group that has challenges for blogs every Friday and today is self portrait day. I'm not even kidding, I took like 100 pictures of myself and hated everyone. I was looking forward to this challenge but it was harder than I thought it would be. This is all I got.

Day 10

So I am baking like a mad woman this week. Today Violet and I made overstuffed jam muffins. So yummy! I need to bake something more fun though. I'm thinking something with chocolate is in the cards for next week.

Day 9

It only took almost 7 years of marriage but I am finally becoming domesticated. I found this recipe in Today's Parent and made it at lunch today. It didn't need a bread maker or yeast so I jumped all over it. It looks exactly like the picture in the magazine. I'm so proud! It didn't taste much like bread though, more like a really cheesy biscuit but still pretty yummy.

Day7

So not too exciting of a day. Violet did a cute craft this morning and afterwards it occured to me that I should have taken pics. Cooper was at school all day so no pics of him. I think Violet has caught her brother's cold though so this is what I found when I went to call the kids for dinner. Poor girl!

Day 6

Cooper and Violet have been playing with eachother non stop today. I love it! I always wanted a big brother and I love that Violet has one and a pretty awesome one at that. They were playing ring a round the rosey and then Cooper gave Violet horsie rides. Watching them together makes me tear. Well, until five minutes later when Violet is crying because she got hurt. I guess that's par for the course when you have a big brother.

Day 5

So I started to make my friend's daughter a hat that she saw me wearing and wanted and I ran out of yarn. I know I had two balls of the same yarn but I think my stinkin cats took off with it and now I can't find it. It's okay though because I don't think I made the hat big enough anyways because it should have fit a 10 year old and fits Violet instead. I guess I'll have to start over.

Day 4

I felt bad today because I had a camera class this morning and missed Cooper's hockey. :( Afterwards my Mom picked me up and we headed to Toronto to see Medieval Times with my cousins and aunts. So I barely saw my kids today but I did get a couple of pics of the show. I have never been before and was actually surprised how fun it was. I can't wait to take the kids now. Cooper will love the fact that you get to eat with your hands. That is if I can talk him in to eating potatos and chicken. My salad lovin kid will be disapointed when there is no caesar salad on the menu. lol.

Day 3

So I decided to make some muffins from scratch. This is not like me. I did however not have enough bananas and made them anyways. Tristan thought they were buscuits and Cooper only ate half of one. I put one in his lunch this morning and he refused to eat one for breakfast so I knew he wouldn't be happy once he saw it in his lunch at school.

While I was making the muffins, Violet had a picnic on her bedroom floor. Note the tiny McDonalds cup. Cute!

Day 2

Violet is 2 and I still love nudie pictures of her. I seriously wish I had a baby to photograph with this camera.
Lately when Cooper is home, he loves to play video games. I don't mind though. It keeps him happy and I'm always impressed at how he understands some of the games better than I do. I'm not much of a gamer though.
I also had to add Violet's new dress. I think it is sooooo pretty!

Day 1

This is my first day of my blog and I'm hoping that I keep it up. Let's face it, I love being on the computer so lately I have been trying to do things on the computer that aren't just surfing the web. This blog being one of them. I have also been using my new digital scrapbooking software which I love. These two pages are the first ones I have done with the program and I am in love. I am also in love with my new camera and love that the pictures of my kids are coming out so amazing. I want Cooper and Violet to look back on their childhood's with amazing pictures of themselves and every exciting moment they had, captured on camera.
