Boys thiS week

They just looked really cute yesterday morning so I had to take a pic!

BIG HILL SPRINGS....

Tomorrow the boys and I are going hiking at Bg hill Springs... I am very excited, its been 2 years since we were there...
It was cold today and I have the fire going.. hope it keeps me warm in bed too because the Q is at a back country hut with his parents so I have no in bed heater. :(

Went to physio today, they should provide pieces of leather to bite on, she was able to straighten my hips, they were crooked, who knew?  Also my glutes were so tight they were pulling my leg and hip out of alignement...It hurts so bad when she is doing it but feels so good after.. I get a break next week cause my spot was booked! Yay 1 week off.

sore and tired.. bath then greys anatomy and knitting? or knitting then just sleep....? Not sure how long I will last....

Boys this week


The boys were looking really cute yesterday morning!  All bundled up in sweaters because the mornings have gotten very chilly lately.

With the chilly mornings and the holiday approaching I am a little worried about the corn and the pumpkins... I hope they do ok while we are gone.
My brother has agreed to come and check all the garden and make sure the kitties have not eaten eachother.

We are driving to Tafino, leaving tomorrow night... I cannot wait but I almost wished we had ore time because we are not ready yet.
I am going to start some laundry now before work and before I wake up the little dudes...

Also we stared the envelope method of budgeting... Last week was our first week.  We  made it... just had to do some adjusting in the budget....
We are starting week 2 with only 162 for food and 55.75 for extra...

Wish us luck...

Boys this week!

Cy pulled a recipe out of a magazine to make worms in dirt at home.  Pudding with candy worms and oreo crumbs on top to look like dirt.
The boys made it themselves and loved it!


Also my Uncle Jim passed away last thursday.  He was a really nice man,  I will miss him.  
The girls at work brought me a plant.

Cy is loving modeling lately... I have to remember to get some clay that he can build stuff with and let dry...

Overall a really good week leading into the long weekend... having fun being creative with the boys and around the house:)

Started these wall art from this post :
canvas wall art


also made some of this:
Homemade pancake mix


Yesterday seemed like the longest day at work, I had no motivation and I really didn't feel like helping anyone with getting their shit done!  I have lost my interest...maybe today will be better.
The boys were so energetic when we got home, they ran all over the yard playing "easter egg hunt" with rocks.  Then when I was making dinner they were chasing eachother at top speed through the kitchen and sliding into the bathroom.  Not sure what they had for lunch but ut certainly gave them energy.

GG is coming tonight to stay over before she leaves for Australia for an undetermined amount of time...
Miss her already :(

Time to get ready for work,   hopefully I will not spill my coffee today!
