Episode: First Fine Family Festival

So the first family day came and went.
It was so snowy and blustery that there was not as much travelling around out on the roads but we still managed to get together with mom and dad and Megan and her friends Shelley, Mike and Andy for a funny dinner.

I had a scrapbooking filled weekend in between "spring" cleaning around the homestead...

Here is one LO that shows the lights of our lives - Tierney, Gabby and Rui (in no particular order 'cause that would be wrong of course! Who could pick just one?!)



This was from Toops birthday extravaganza at the Waterloo Childrens Museum which was back in January - the kids were all dancing to Crazy Frog tunes waiting for the other kids to arrive - it was so cute that it just had to be appropriately Memorexed. Well, Canon'ed I guess in this case.

Allie and Mary are coming to see us this weekend and we are pumped about it - and Gram will be here as well! Can't wait!

We booked our Sauble cottage - but are just waiting for confirmation on that one. Laura and Cam are still not sure that they can come with us - but we are still hoping!

Peace!

Episode: Happy Valentines Day Everyone

Just thought I'd share my funny Valentine with your all...this arrived in my office email today:
Kathleen’s VALINTINE 2008



I love fish and Chips and all things greasy

Oysters, shrimp, lobster, are all so pleasey

Seafoods the best that is for sure

With garlic butter and spices the food can cure



Alas we have “left overs” chicken cordon blue

Unless we mix and match poultry with oceans allure

I have purchased lobster & seafood bisque

With wine and brandy blended in the mix



Renting a movie could be the cat’s meow

On this Valentine Anniversary, see there now

We could dinner and dine

On this Valentine



There are movies and games and a WII to play

No lack of fun and activities so in we can stay

Out of the Cold and crowds we relax

Food and libation and a twist of exlax



Tomorrow we wake, refreshed behooved

With Love in our hearts and bowls that moved

To start a new day, for sure will be fine

Preparing with passion for next Valentine

Episode: Harry Potter meets Scrappin' Kathy

Back in the day, Megan decided to decorate her bedroom a la Harry Potter. The idea was to use Hogwarts colours and put Harry Potter books etc on display. The room was painted accordingly (including a maroon ceiling !!) and voila the "The Harry Potter Room" as it is known was created. Fast forward a few years...Megan now lives in her newly (for the second time) designed room in the basement. The "HPR" was relegated to a spare room, storage room, video games room. One of the items in storage there was all the scrapbooking stuff being acquired by Kathy...After a long day of purging (3 garbage bags later... the new Scrappin' Kathy Room is unveiled. What a relief..I can now crop till my hearts content and actually find all the stuff I have. Feast your eyes
