My mom arrived last Wednesday, it is so nice to have her around. She is only here until Thursday and she is taking the kids with her back to Winnipeg. They are so looking forward to seeing their Aunts, Uncles, cousins, and Great Gramma!! They will be there until August. It will be so strange with no children around. I will definitely miss them!

I had an eye appointment on Saturday with a new eye doctor. She dilated my pupils to check the back of my eyes.. well she found 2 dots or spots or whatever on the back of my left eye and is referring me to an retina specialist to see if i will need laser surgery to prevent them from bursting. Little nervous about that.. but she said not to worry too much about it.. umm.. ok if you say so??

I go back to work today after a nice relaxing week off.

My coffee is ready and my stomach is growling.. so I am off..

The picture is from George's trip to Australia thought it was cute and had to throw it in

Splash Park fun with Amy

Yes i do have another child.. you wouldn't think that from the last few posts.. but in this situation Jarret decided that staying home with dad playing PS3 was a better idea (next time he will come with us). I let him have his way this time.

I am on holiday's this week. The kids last day of school is Wednesday.. and my mom comes in on Wednesday! Very excited.

George is heading back to Hawaii on July 1st to the 8th.. I will be without children (they will be in Winnipeg) and without husband for a few days.. whats a girl to do?

SK Kindergarten graduation

Today Amy graduated from Kindergarten. There was a ceremony with her class singing and dancing for the parents. It was so cute. She was so excited and she did a great job.

We took her to her favorite restaurant to celebrate. We had a good day.











Not sure whats happening with my hair???

We have been dog sitting Cohiba for the last few weeks. Having so much fun with him.. he is going home i think today or tomorrow.

Love the above pictures of him destroying his stuffed toy. It didnt take long until the stuffing was out.. it was cute to watch.

George is back from Hawaii. He brought back gifts for all of us. I will take some pictures of Amy in her grass skirt and coconut bras and Jarret wearing his shark tooth necklace and post maybe tomorrow.

I have a crappy bladder infection and the meds aren't relieving the pain fast enough. Not cool.

Thats it for now.. quick post..

Late Skata

Michael Bublé - Everything

I am OBSESSED with this man right now.. this man and this song!! Look at him.. how cute is he?

"And I can't believe, uh that I'm your man,
And I get to kiss you baby just because I can." is my FAVORITE line in this song.

He makes me smile, good Canandian boy!!!

Conversation between a brother and sister

Sitting at the kitchen table eating lunch..

Amy: "I want kids when I get married"

Jarret to Amy: "If you have a girl what will you name her?"

Amy: "Angel"

Jarret: "If you have a boy what will his name be?"

Amy: "Ron"

I didn't even know she knew the name Ron let alone name one of her future children that name.. thought it was cute!

May long weekend.. not so good :(

Sick with a Migraine on Saturday.. went to bed at 830pm it was still lingering until today..

Amy is in the middle of an asthma attack.. up with her most of the night last night

Jarret puked in our car on the way home from breakfast today..

My throat is sore and I feel like i am coming down with something..

What a crappy long weekend... oh well...

Sigh...

Jarret did awesome last night! He was loud, he wasnt too fast or too slow he was just perfect!! There were 6 performances last night Jarrets class was the first to go on. That was fine.. but people were still arriving as as you can hear in the back ground making a shit load of noise. I was getting so annoyed, but what can you do? The other "plays" were cute too.. but of course i am bias to say Jarret's was the best :).





Here he is before he went on.. so cute :)

Good job Jarret!!!!

Few things...

-Took Amy to the doctors last Thursday because her throat was sore to the point where she was almost in tears. The doctor did a swab to rule out strep throat he thinks its just a virus but he will only call if there is a positive result. I receive a phone call at 9pm last night from the doctors office saying he wants to see Amy about her results. Umm.. ok.. she hasn't complained since the weekend about her throat.. but sure I'll come in. So going today at 9am. Little nervous not sure what to expect.. she seems fine.

-Jarret is in a play tonight. Its to do with the Pioneers he is the narrator cant wait. I wish I spoke French so I can understand it but I am sure I will get the jist of it and just to see him up there will be AWESOME.

-Jarrets 3rd tooth finally fell out. Now he has a nice big hole in his mouth.. cute stuff!!

-Still no word on work. Waiting to get my letter to tell me when my last day is, just would like to know .. you know?

-George is going to Hawaii in 2 weeks for 2 weeks for work. Very excited for him but I am a bit jealous lol.

-My mom comes to Toronto at the end of June to get the kids to bring them back to Winnipeg. They are so looking forward to their visit with everyone!

Thats it..

*** Edited***

I said above I took Amy to the doctor last week.. correction it was almost 2 weeks ago. And they just received the results yesterday? Anyway.. the doctor said she has strep throat. He said the lab had the positive results 2 days after but they didn't send the office the results until this week. Thank GOD Amy wasn't in any pain. I have had strep before and it is NOT pleasant. Anyway, its all good. She is more upset that she had to miss school today.

TFC....TFC...TFC...!!!!!!!!

Its the home opener today at BMO Field and we are going. I have never followed soccer but man is it fun. The atmosphere is amazing. I have never seen fans like these soccer fans!! You get caught up in the craziness its insane fun I tell ya!!

This is only the second year for The Toronto Foot Ball Club and for BMO Field. This is George's project when we moved here 2 years ago. He was the one from Ticketmaster in charge of getting them in there and running smoothly. This is his baby.

The game starts at 1230 but we will be there for 11 so George can be there in case of any scanning issues, which there shouldn't be since George installed everything :)

In other news.. I am freaking out off and on about the lay offs at my work but I know its not the end of the world. People get layed off all the time and bounce back. I just HATE job hunting.. I am HORRIBLE in interviews and the timing couldn't be WORSE!! Ok.. maybe I am still freaking out more then I thought I was.

Anyway.. that's about it

Gramma Buddy

Its been 3 years since George's mom passed away. It was 3 years on the 21st. I didn't post anything the other day not because I forgot.. but it has been so crazy around here. She isn't forgotten around this house. Gramma Buddy comes up in conversation quite a bit. Jarret has more memory then Amy does, but we make sure she hears stories about her. She quite often tells us she "remembers that" when we know she doesn't but we let her think she does.

Its still sad to think that she is gone and missing out on her 3 grandchildren. I hope she knows how much everyone misses her.

Lata Skata.

George left yesterday and it already feels weird without him. That might sound silly but we havent been apart for more then a week since moving out here. I guess also knowing that he is so far away doesnt help. He went from Toronto to L.A then from L.A he was off to Melbourne. He emailed me from the L.A airport that he met some guys from Melbourne and they were giving him some ideas of what he can do on his down time.

I dont know if I mentioned this or not.. but we are sending the kids back to Winnipeg for the month of July so they can see the family. They are pretty excited for that. My mom will come out at the end of June for a few days and take them back with her. Now that is going to be weird without the kids around for an entire month. I have a week of holiday's in July and two of my close friends are going to come out to visit.

Off to put missy in the tub and do some dishes..

Spring Fling...

My own Polly Pocket

Jarret and Amy on the Bee ride.. he looks thrilled!

Have to have a hockey shot

Jarret waiting for the Marlies players to come back from the dressing room

Clemmensen.. He was brought up to the Leafs this year to play a few games..

Toronto Marlies and The Manitoba Moose

Saturday we took the kids to The Rogers Center for the Spring Fling. They have this fair for the kids all week for Spring Break. The rides were more Amy's speed.. there were a few that Jarret enjoyed.. but not too many.

After that we took the kids to the Marlies game. They played against the Manitoba Moose. The Moose won :(

George is heading to Australia on Saturday for work, lucky guy. So we will be missing him around the house.

Thats about it for now..

Girls day..

Amy and I had a girls day yesterday. We had decided in the morning that we would go to Walmart.. when I was in the bathroom getting ready she of course was in there with me talking to me about whatever was on her mind (probably Polly Pockets or something) so at one point I bent down in her face and whispered how excited I was to go shopping with her and we are going to have a girls day out and leave the boys at home. I told her the first thing we will do is head to the toy department and just "window shop". Then I said we would look at nail polish and maybe buy a nice color for the two of us. She was grinning from ear to ear as I was whispering all this to her. Then she whispered back.. "I wont tell Jarret and Daddy" I said ok.

Then she shut the door and I heard her singing " I have a secret, I have a secret!!" down the hall into the living room where the boys were! Way funny.

So we went to Walmart and we spent a good hour looking at Polly Pockets, barbies and anything else that was pink. Of course we walked out of that department with toy in hand..lol.

She talked the ENTIRE time.. I am not joking!! I barely said anything, she was so excited.

So... 2 toys.. 1 outfit and a nail polish later.. we headed home. We had a good day. I thanked her in the car for coming shopping with me and for being such a good girl. I told her our next girl day out will be getting our nails done.

Good day with my Amy.. I have to do it more often..

PS.. i didnt forget about Jarret. I bought him a Maple Leafs tshirt.

Lata Skata

PSS or PPS whatever it is... dont GOOGLE 'mother and daugher' images.. dirty dirty pictures!!!!!

I forget that Jarret is 8 sometimes. I will admit I baby him when it comes to certain things.. like chores for example. He takes out the garbage.. and thats about it. George asked me the other day when could Jarret start helping out with dishes. I said not now.. and brushed that question off. I guess its been mulling around in my head since.. and yesterday I thought it was time to show him how to do them.

He said he liked doing it, but told me he thinks he should get an allowance. We agreed that if he does some chores around the house then yes.. he can get an allowance. He seems to think that every time he does dishes he should get $2, and taking out the garbage is worth $1. Does this sound fair? I honestly have no idea..

Anyway.. he was very cute doing the dishes yesterday. We'll see how long he likes doing them.
