Just a mish-mash of stuff.....

It's snowing outside and my boys are both having a nap, so I thought I'd do a quick update on my blog while I have both peace and quiet.....and it's wonderfully quiet at the moment.....

Ben and I went to see the Backyardigans recently at the Bell Centre for Performing Arts with our friends Natalie & Riley and Aniek & Liam. We had a really nice time and the show was awesome! I found myself singing along with the rest of the kids!

Liam, Benjamin, Riley (with their favorite Backyardigans)

Waiting patiently for the show to start

The stars of the show

Just the 2 of us

I don't know how things go in other houses, but in our house any baking tastes soooo much better when the ingredients are selected from a tower.

Our current favorite; banana mini-muffins

You'd think that 3 bags of dried crusts would yield more than one bag of breadcrumbs....

If we can't have a picnic outside then we'll just have it inside. Benjamin set the whole thing up; I just brought the apples and fishy crackers (of course what picnic would be complete without some of our household vacuum cleaners attending?)

Some silly stuff my little monkey does....

Doesn't EVERYONE put their socks away like this???





Ben's new "chair" - he sits on Greg's head whenever he wants to look at the pictures on the wall!




Wanna read?

Well, it took a few years, but he FINALLY decided to taste some Play-Dough!




Git along little doggy....poor Greg....Ben wants to ride his horsey most everyday!

Would you like to use the powder room?

We finished the bathroom project! It was done under budget and a little ahead of schedule (a week before Christmas to be exact). And it rocks!! We're really happy with it.

The changes make it look like we live in a new house. Or at least a new bathroom anyway :)

The wall color is a little decieving in the pictures (it's actually a tan-ish color) and it sort of changes shades depending on the light. Of course there is still some tweeking left to be done (window coverings, more new linens etc), but it's basically complete. And because it's such a small space I can't take one picture to show the entire room, so here are a few. Now I want to drag everyone into the bathroom! You must have to go to the bathroom, right?? ha ha ha

The new enclosure. And I must say that baths are heavenly in my soaker tub.......aahhhhh

We LOVE the new shower rod - it feels so spacious when you shower. And the new flooring is awesome!
