HA HA

Kids say the cutest things sometimes, so Iam here to post, what Allie said today that made me and Riley laugh so hard. I asked her "what does daddy do for work?" and she replied, "fixes cars"... pretty smart I thought. So then I asked, "what does mommy do for work?", and she replied, "spends money at the dollar store"!! We laughed so hard.. I was like.. "oh ok..thanks..."..lol

Life is Good

Well, just like i said, life is good, great actually. The move was a huge difference in my life, and Iam sure most would ask why. It's been great with the amount of space, I can actually do things when the girls r napping, i can even play my stereo loud in the family room, and they can't hear it upstairs. It's great, I love all of it, the convenience of crossing the street to either go to Dairy Queen, dollarama, Extra Foods, the movie theaters, my doctor, Rogers Video.and so much more, so many things. Iam much happier, sleeping at night now, the girls even are different here cause they have there own space. Iam loving every minute of it, and I look forward to living here many many years. We had a fire the first night we stayed here, it was so nice. I already am thinking of Christmas time and how cool it will be to hang the stockings above the fire place on the mantle... Iam just loving all of it, i can't even explain how happy Iam. The baby is moving lots, I got for my next doc app on the 9th, and hopefully hear the heart beat then. I love the fact that I can just cross the street to go to the doc... And shoppers being open till midnight is great too. I don't know the last time I actually drove any where cause why would i need to, unless i go visit a friend or family. Anyways i should be off.. just wanted to post that things r SO GOOD, and IAM SO HAPPY!!!!

Last Posting

Well this will probably be my last post here at this house. The next few days are going to be crazy. My mom is coming in to help so iam really looking forward to that, and Allie is going to stay at Auntie Sarah and Uncle Wil's Saturday, she is so excited. Things are getting closer everyday and i can't wait.

Well 4 years ago this July we moved here. I remember when we looked at this house, we instantly loved it, and purchased it at about midnight. We were so excited to have our first home together, never even thinking once about having kids here. We moved here 3 months after we married. We had many good times here.. many party's and memories we wont forget. We had fights, our share of good times, and the times that will always stick in our heads..the moments we found out we were expecting. We had two beautiful girls in this home, and now we venture to a new place and start the journey all over. Iam excited, some days scared, and a little nervous, but I truly am excited. Iam looking forward to the amount of space we will have and the girls having there own room. Iam looking forward not having to whisper all the time, or say "shhh" half the time when people r here. I just can't wait anymore.

So we will say goodbye to our home on 1347 Aberdeen Street. And someday we will have stories to tell the girls about how they were born here. Allie lived 2 years here, we lived 4 years, and Aubrie lived 1. Someday we will drive past this house when there older, and say this is where it started.

Well it has been a busy week. I ventured out last night with my sister cause I needed a break. I needed to be away from the girls, and I needed Riley to put them to bed for once instead of me always putting them to bed then going out. And just to let u know, I enjoyed every minute of the few hours I was gone.

I will post some pics of the girls this week, Allie wants to be a doctor when she grows up, and also the girls were picnicking. I will also post a picture of me, 3 months along. I can feel the baby move lots already. With Allie i was about 18 weeks along, Aubrie 12 weeks, and this one as well 12 weeks... It's nice to get that feeling, and start having a connection with the little one inside. I haven't even heard the heart beat yet, but I defiantly feel the baby move lots. Anyways, I will begin posting again, in the new house.. YEY..wish me luck.. I can't wait!!

5 More Days

Well lets just say I am getting so excited. Iam most excited for the amount of space we will have.. going from 800 to 1740 square feet will be an amazing difference, and I can't wait. We move this Saturday. Most of the stuff, as much as we can, we have till the 30th to be out of this house, but we want to be in there probably by the beginning of next week. Iam getting all the carpets cleaned on Monday morning, and Saturday I want to paint a few rooms, and organize and put away as much as I can. I hope this week goes by fast, and I think it will cause of the holiday...

Well the weekend was good.. Aubrie had a great birthday. I can't believe my little girl is one already. I can't believe 9 months ago I had a baby, and again Iam 3 months pregnant. She loved her cake so much, ate a huge piece, and she did well opening her gifts and walking amongst everyone. It was a nice day, windy but everything went good.

We then went to Dilke Saturday night and Sunday just for a break. It was nice to get away from all the boxes and the house being a mess.

Potty Training

Needless to say, it has been difficult. Alot of people say girls r so easy to train, and some say boys are..ect...ect.. But I honestly think every kid is different. And that you defiantly can't force a kid into it.

Allie is extremely smart...she tells me when she has pooped, even before she has pooped, and asks to be changed, and so on. But when it comes to potty training she wants nothing to do with it. She sees me use the bathroom, and has seen other kids as well, but still has no interest. I took her diaper off the other night and wouldn't put it back on and she had a screaming fit cause that's how bad she wanted it on. So after a while I put panties on her, and sent her outside with her dad. Well of course she peed, was walking extremely funny, but it didn't bother her what so ever.

I have tried all the tricks of the trade, I have been persistent and tried every 20 minutes, I even had her on there once for over an hour, and once she came off she peed. But to top all things, her new phrase when you ask her if she wants to go pee on the potty is.. "my pee pee is sleeping"!! Iam not sure how she came up with that one, but thats what she says.

So I hope before the baby comes she will be potty trained. I really don't want 3 in diapers. Iam hoping this summer I can do it...

Life

Well what can I say but Life is SO BUSY right now, as most of you I'm sure understand. From packing boxes, to organizing, to going to see lawyers, and bank appointments, to finishing all my clients before we move, to planning Aubrie's first birthday party... I can say I haven't had much time to think lately, or slow down. For one, when your house is undergoing this move..everything is a mess and un-organized, so it's been difficult. I usually love making cakes, and I have already packed away my cake pans, so needless to say Iam buying Aubrie's first birthday cake.

I can't believe a year ago I was 9 months pregnant, and right now Iam 3 months pregnant. Crazy how time goes, and what can happen in a year. I have been extremely tired and moody, and not really enjoying this pregnancy so far. iam almost dreading it, which is sad cause I loved being pregnant with the girls. Iam hoping a change happens soon.

iam so excited to move, and have the space we are about to have. Iam so excited to have a great big kitchen, a master ensuite, and especially having the girls room upstairs, away from the noise.. no more saying shhh to Riley all the time. Iam so excited that it almost seems these next days are going so slow. But I know soon enough it will be here....

The girls r good. Aubrie started walking about 2 weeks ago, and is saying alot more things to. She can wave bye bye, play patty cake, hold one finger up for one years old... She can say her name, Allie's name, happy, night night.. She is such a happy giggly baby. She is wonderful, and I can't believe she will be one in a few short days.

Allie has been, well lets say Allie..lol.. Somedays good, some bad, some great, some worse. But Iam managing to get through everyday as I can. Mothers Day was good, Riley took us all out breakfast that day, we drove around the city just to say we got out, he then made me lunch and also took me for supper. So it was a nice day off. I also made him change the girls the entire day..haha... my day off... Anyways best be off the girls r waking..

Our New House

Well we bought a house.. 1740 square feet, a four level split.It has 5 bedrooms, and 3 bathrooms!! Iam so excited, and we move in just three short weeks. I can't believe how fast everything is going, but in the end it will be so worth it... Too much to do, and so many boxes around..lol... Here are a few pics of it..
