Walked an hour in buckets of pouring rain for the school route. My feet, legs, and gloved hands are soaked to the bone. So cold…

Came home late from work to find my sons watching Wonder Woman without me. #missingout

Swede Day!

It may not be national swede day…if one exists…but we sure love that veggie in this household! Yum!

I love Swede. ‘A Vegetable’.

April showers bring May flowers. But I hope the Tulips survive through the rain and cold.

Work for a cause not for applause. Live to express not to impress. Don’t strive to make your presence noticed, just make your absence felt.

 Cute comment for today brought to you by Maddox:
 “I don’t want to disobey you or mummy but she said boots and you said shoes. 
I could wear one boot and one shoe.”

Pink gloves to go with the black heels I wear when I do dishes.
Did I mention I clean in my pearls as well?

I cooked tonight. I have not cooked dinner since September thanks to my husband, the chef.
Sauteed cabbage and sweet chilli sausage.

Only my boys would play with their clementines at snack time and pronounce to the world, “This is the Eye of Sauron!”. #LOTR

April Fools.

Let me start this by saying that I really wanted to play a good practical joke on my boys.  However I could not really find any good ideas worthy of the effort, so instead I posted a simple photo on my facebook page.  The picture is a sonogram photo from when I was pregnant with my youngest son.  I immediately got a lot of congratulations until finally a few smart individuals realized that it was from 2007, not 2012. It is hard to believe that next month my little man will be 5 years old! Where does the time go?

The boys and I caught the neighbours cat sun bathing outside.  We usually see the cat waiting to be let back into the apartment building near ours, or jumping down from the balcony to the ground.  It is a very pretty black cat who did not mind having its photograph taking today.

This evening I introduced my boys to the comedy of Buster Keaton.  We watched his silent film, The General, and my boys laughed so hard.  It was really fun getting them to not only appreciate silent films at an early age, but to love it with the full belly laughs as well.  I look forward to watching more from Buster’s collection.

I love playing the Draw Something game on my phone! Do you play? 
Tonight I introduce my boys to my love for Buster Keaton in ‘The General’. #ilovesilentfilms #busterkeaton
