WITL ~ Saturday

Saturday was a busy day for me. Most times the weekend is because I haven't had usage of the car all week since hubby takes it for work. All of the things I need to get done, end up waiting until the weekend.


My boys seem to be on a SpongeBob kick right now!


Freshly scrubbed outta the shower.


Before picture...off to get my hair cut off. I usually get a short cut in the summer then let it grow out for the rest of the year, only to get it all cut off again the next summer.


Gas prices today...$1.30L.


Stopping for a large double, double and a tea for Tracy, my good friend and hairstylist.


After I had my hair done and had a quick bite to eat, the boys and I and my mom all went down to see the parade in town...Summer Fest in on this weekend.


Not so summery though, pouring down rain the whole time...buckets of rain, we were soaked.


They snuggled up in their raincoats, a blanket and had an umbrella, but were still soaked.


My momma.


Parade kicks off...


A favorite in this house


Pipe and Drum band...loved this!


Me and my youngest...trying to stay dry.


Owen's favorite, but it was too loud.


My haircut after....short and funky.

So that's that...I spent the evening cleaning up my scrapbooking area to get my WITL the life stuff sorted and to start working on the book for that.

WITL ~ Friday

Friday was a slow day around here, again, not so many pictures....some days I have lots, some days, not so much.


Hubby leaving for work at 5:30am.


Foggy morning out there, it'll burn off though.


Same shot 2 hours later...fog almost gone.


Having a promised to them Timbit for their pre-breakfast snack.


I've said it before and I'll say it again....


....boys are weird!!


Laundry....it's never done.


The mess my 3 year old makes. Mega Blocks and Mr. Potato Head stuff.


Me having an evening of scrapbooking....page for a challenge entry and for a focus group entry all in one.


Daddy reading the boys a bedtime story...note the title of the book.

That was my day, a few challenges along the way, seems to come with the territory of being a stay at home. Some days are extremely frustrating, some are rewarding, almost all of them exhausting.

WITL ~ Wednesday

Here's Wednesday...I was grumpy, kids were frustrating and it was raining....today I took far less pictures then any other day so far, but I'm okay with that, it is what it is. Here's a few of them: 


5am Advil for a toothache...not looking forward to that root canal!


Sweeping the kitchen


Making the beds...some days I feel like Cinderella.


Chatting with my girl Jane....she makes me laugh, and I needed that yesterday!


Doing up Tuesday's blog for WITL...loading pictures.


Bread machine loaf for supper tonight.


Cooking up a storm...spaghetti, sauce and meatballs.


And there it is...so yummy!!


After supper treat of chocolate pudding....dig in boy!


The after math of supper...I left it to deal with tomorrow, too tired to do anything about it now!

WITL ~ Tuesday

Here's a look into my Tuesday. It consisted of basically the same thing I did on Monday, just no baking this time around...more laundry, more dishes, more cooking, more diffusing fights between the kidlets, some frustrations and lots of hugs and kisses! 



Morning coffee in my favorite mug....all my favorite mugs have chips in them!


Laundry that needs sorting and folding.


Playing with their wooden train tracks...and not fighting (for like a second!)


Snuggles with my youngest boy.


Getting lunch ready.


Silly boys at lunch time!


Mission completed!


Next mission....dishes!


"Reading" one of his favorite books.


Playing horsey...only he's to heavy for Charlie to actually move!


Taking off on my own for a while after supper.


Back from a walk with Daddy after supper, showing me his "fossil" he found, it's a rock that looks like a potato! lol


Prepping hubby's lunch for the next day...lunch and love notes!

WITL ~ Monday

My computer didn't want to cooperate last night, so here's a glimpse into my Monday, just a typical day in our house! I'll post Tuesday pictures tomorrow (Wednesday)


Jonathan getting ready for work, eating his breakfast alone at 5 in the morning.
