Hitting the nail on the head

I knew if I complained long enough hubby would cave in and start my kitchen. Before he left for work today he was able to get one wall tiled, it is looking fantastic. I am pleased with the tile as well as color choice. After the tiling is finished and the hood fan is installed over the stove I can start painting walls. The ice queen is starting to melt a little.... drip, drip.

A week has come and gone.

Lookin' for a new home.

Today hubby went back to work after having one week off, the question your all wondering, did he get my kitchen finished??
The only thing he did in my kitchen was eat and make a frickin mess, not from construction I might add.
There was some action on the man room front, he managed to rip out bushes and hedges to make sure the excavation could start immediately, growl!!!
So from the ice palace, a cold front has moved in and a warming trend is nowhere in sight, is it
cold on your side of the bed hon??
gggrrrrrrr......

Lovey Dovey

Lovey Dovey

Lovey Dovey in her nest

Can you spot her nest??

The girls went to climb up their tree house to have a freezie party, with the girls and a bag of coolie pops we descended up the stairs. Jennifer, Jillian and Mommy in tow, the girls got up to the balcony and Mommy trying to squeeze her bubble butt in the trap door got a surprise when Jen shrieked out "STOP". Well not so easy for me in mid squeeze we all froze, I asked Jen what was wrong she said"There's a bird up here in a nest, get down Mom".

Lifting up my arms I always drop like a stone(why didn't my hubby build a larger Mommy sized trap door, he must of been thinking about my size when we were first married)we all got down and sure enough there was a mourning dove in the crotch of the tree between the window and door.

Hubby and I called over the girls to have a talk about what we should do, move the bird or wait the 21 or so days until the babies(usually 1 or 2 ) are hatched and leave the nest. Knowing my animal, bird and bug loving eldest daughter I knew she would opt for leaving Mommy bird alone. My girl made me proud, they have decided to let nature take it's course and watch the babies hatch and take flight.

Next we decided to name the bird, many different ones were thrown about. We decided on Lovey Dovey, the kids think it's a term of endearment, I like to think it's because she got some Lovin' and now is in the family way. Either or, she is affectionately know as Lovey.

Mommy still has to squeeze her body up the trap door to water the window boxes, Lovey is very trusting , she just gazes at me and doesn't seem to be bothered.

Welcome to your new home. we hope your stay is a happy one.

Happy Birthday to you....

Tagged, my lovely home.

Here is a recent photo of my hubby
helping clean the girls room, my hero.
Notice I hadn't finished the laundry,
no socks available for photo, sorry honey.

This is our bathroom, I really

don't have time to clean, notice the sign!!

Doesn't any one read around here, geeeezz.
Please your welcome to use the washroom,

just don't sit on the seat.....

Tried to take a photo of the bedroom, but the

darned pole kept getting in the way. Thought

an old photo of hubby and I would make the

masses happy. Before his haircut..

Told you we were in the midst of renovating,

hope we get finished before the man room.

Now you can all see why my typing is so bad,

the cat's favourite spot is lying on the computer

moniter.

This is an open invitation for you to come over

for dinner anytime, were a little short on chairs,

could you please bring your own.

Stop on by again, thanks for coming! I was tagged by

Diana, stop by her house, it's gorgeous, tell her I sent you.

Celebrate Summer

Went strawberry picking today At Heeman's ,
about 10 minutes from our home.

The berries were ripe and ready for picking,

Jennifer is holding the first one going into our

basket(or Jill's mouth)

The farm put us on the outside row so we step

on the plants. Had to watch Jillian so she didn't

tramp all over them. Jen was a terrific experienced

picker, Jill she just ate and enjoyed. The strawberry

farm didn't make any money off us. Jill was too cute

she would take a bite off the berry an throw it back

into our basket.

Jenny was picking so fast I could hardly keep up,

she went to the farm yesterday with her class, so lots of

expertise her.

A little treat of frozen yogurt and strawberries
for a job well done!!

YUM!!!

We are going to make strawberry jam tomorrow, can't wait!
