ALLL OVER

Christmas was here and gone in what seems like a flash.
It was a Christmas to remember here, as G really was excited for Santa to visit.
When he came up Christmas morn, he was astonished by all of the gifts( and as you will see in pictures there were a ton, thank you Mon famlie')
He looked at me and said, " mommy Loooook at allllll the giffffts" in a drawl that was a tad bit Western and a tad bit southern. He wasn't sure if he could open them, so his big Brown eyes looked at me pleadingly and I said lets sit down and open them all.
He was SO excited I don't think he knew where to begin.
Halfway through the tree, he grew tired and wanted to play with his toys.
I think he must have over 500 dinkies now.
C and I are officially embarrassed by this. I should take a picture of just his dinkies.. the the Internet can stone me or through tomatoes at me.. something!
Mom and Dad came down for the opening of the gifts. We watched TV with Greg in our room until they arrived.. he had no clue...... this will be the last year of that. It was great to have my mom and dad there to open gifts with us. Then we had a hearty breakfast put on by my hubby. It was fit for kings. Poor W slept through it all. He was spoiled also make no mistake!
I cooked a huge Turkey for like 6 or 7 people when it was just C and I ( kids too but what do they eat really). I just wanted us to stay home and make a Christmas din for us. It was yummy and the turkey was big ( yes repeating myself) and moist. I loved doing it and will probably do it from now on.
My Hubby out did himself for me this year. I feel a little sheepish as I couldn't go all out but I defiantly owe him something,( get your mind out of the gutter.. but that might work)
I received a massage chair, a stocking filled with relaxing products, tanning sessions( can't wait), and last but not least a date in a box( all prepaid just have to plan the night).
This night will consist of a movie, dinner, drinks at the fireside, hotel stay of my choice, and breakfast at Smitty's the next day ( that's our thing).

I was blown away at the planning and little cards made by him, and the gift certificates sought out. I can't wait to go on our date.
I love C with all my heart
You are a romantic
Ahh Hope all of you had a great holiday's, I am looking for a low key New years with movies and games with my hubby.
Well that's all for now.. check out flicker for my Christmas photo's
By the way our tree and lights and all Christmas decor GONE.. when it's over it's over.

Veiwer Descretion advised

So I don't normally discuss poop on this blog.. but this is definitely blog worthy.
this Morn ( Christmas eve) at about 4:40am I was up with W feeding and cuddling and yawing away.
When he decided to have a poop.
His poops people are like smelly, green ice creams. You know at dairy queen where it comes out in a long gooey strip. that is how he poops.. long gooey green egg smelling strips.
I have this changing procedure down to a science where he doesn't get any on his legs or heels, where he makes minimal mess and is a smelly yet fairly unpainful experience( for me)
This morn as I was reaching for a wipe, I was holding up his legs so he wouldn't put his feet in the poop.. when from his bowels erupted a fart that startled the cats as well as me.. what followed no MOTHER should ever endure.. I mean isn't labour bad enough.
The fart was not just a fart( Tanya do you remember that saying "that wasn't a fart") well it wasn't next thing I knew I was splattered with green goo .. all over my shirt all over my NEW glasses, my face people my face.
Well there went any preciseness I had for my boy I let his legs drop and he was also covered. I grabbed a clean wipe threw off my glasses and did the best I could to clean my face. Then Looked down... it was on my pants and the floor too. It was as If someone opened a champagne bottle and shook it.. the spray going everywhere.
I couldn't believe it /. I just made a sad pitiful noise I have never heard myself make noise.. and cleaned him up.
I had to finish feeding him and put him back to bed... full of SHIT
Green egg smelling shit.
As soon as I was done I made way for the shower and cleaned up.. falling into bed still traumatized.
My husband and the cats are still laughing at me.
Merry Christmas everyone!

hummpphhh

Well here is my attempt at christmas photo's with the kids! The end result was very cute ( see picture on right) but this first photo is by far my favorite! W is smiling and G is just plan bored of the whole situation.. plus he has been forced to sport that red hat and hold this thing every one keeps calling his brother.

The torture I have put him through. I am waiting for child protective services to show up any minute for putting him through this ordeal and now posting it online!

How dare I.

See how much happier our first born is without even having to touch or sit close to his brother. It's almost as if he has forgotten he is even in the room... this I will remind them of when they are best of friends a life time from now. W just lights up when ever G is around.. it is an ungoing silent battle that goes on daily here.. and I can only laugh at how cute it is and Know that it won't last forever.

It won't right I mean if it does it won't be so cute anymore and I will be posting photo's of police showing up at my door for black eyes and broken window's.

Lets hope we don't hit that disfunctional!

Happy Holiday's

Tis the Season'

My favorite thing to do every night is drink a hot chcolate or coffee or tea in front of my christmas tree all lit up.. with the house lights all off and play a christmas song or two. ahh christmas cozy!

Egg nog with Rum does the trick as well!

What your christmas cozy?

Say Cheese

Well as you may have already guessed the christmas spirit.. flew up my pants and bit me in the tuckus.

We have decorated our Tree and our home. Lights and glitter all over.

G has played an interactive roll in being a big brother and has been a wonderful brother for little W. In fact G has been helping with everything these days.. he aims to please and we are so very proud. Our first snow was here in NS last night and as we thought it was only a few flurries we headed out to the grocery store. yeah let me just sum that up.. Sitting in icy traffic with 2 screaming kids in the back seat and Dumb asses that are still not ready for winter driving EVERYwhere.

All I have to say is ..... Sackville.. it's december it's winter and yes We often get unexpected weather.... WTF. Put your snow tires on and get used to it. The first snow storm always gives people Deer in headlights syndrome. I am so happy that I above eryone know what's going on.. for once.

More pics soon.!

Love Mama
