Thankful Thursday.

I am thankful for the show nature put on for my girls yesterday, we had four Robins, a chipmunk, a rabbit, a squirrel, some sparrows and a Cardinal all sharing the same bird feed. I always put feed on the ground as well as in the feeders for the Mourning Doves, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw all the birds and small animals enjoying the seeds.
I was going to take a picture, almost to the door when Jillian smashed on the window to say "Look at the birdies Mom". Needless to say everything went in flight or jumped way in fright, LOL, that's my girl.
I was thinking Spring had finally arrived, then I listened to the news last night, snow storm warning for tonight, ending early Friday morning, ARRR!!!

Weekend whirl.

We made the Easter bunny some Easter treats.

Making cookies, the girls are just in their aprons, we were using dye and egg wash so Mom thought it would save the clothes!!

The Easter bunny came last night Mom.

Evidence that he came and left with a full tummy.

Easter Morning(before 6am)

There shouldn't have been anything stirring not even a mouse.

There should have been darkness throughout my house.

To my utter delight(ya right,LOL)lights turned on and shrieks were heard.

No smell of coffee, just chocolate bunnies. I'm so darned tired I can't mutter a word.

Jumping, yelling, screaming, for the bunny left his load.

All I can say is why were we the first to wake on the road??

I want some sleep, my eyes want to close but I hear the excitement and the patter of tiny toes.

Hubby hands me my coffee in my Easter mug, we watch our babes gather sugar and caffeine of their own.Watching them he gives me a look of contentment and smug(he's the master planner).

He did it again that Easter bunny, happy kids and tired (very) parents, ya he thinks he's clever and funny.Wait until the kids are wired on sugar(around noon)and out of their heads and Mom hides under the covers in her bed.

We had a wonderful Easter with family, hope you had a wonderful holiday too. ;)

Happy Easter .

Our family would like to wish you and yours a "Happy Easter".
Superman has the next week off so we are having some family time, can't wait.
Enjoy your holidays.

Kudos for the karate kid.

Ya, my big girl got her red belt, she(and her whole family) are very proud.
Way to go karate kid!!

Wordless Wednesday.

One of Superman's co-workers left the company and headed to Northwest Territories to another power company. This is what he saw when he was out on the job, thought they were so beautiful and wanted to share with you.

I love the size of their paws, could you imagine cuddling up on the couch with them, LOL.

Many thanks.

For everyone who has left comments and e-mails I would like to thank you so much.
The outpouring is very much appreciated, this blogging community has always been a sense of support for me. It has been an outlet to vent my frustrations, ask for suggestions and share my accomplishments as a stay at home Mom ( and an excellent venue to brag about my gorgeous babies).
My Dad is continuing to be tested, they are testing his adrenal glands. He has had an MRI, cat scan and has been poked more times than a pin cushion, so he tells me. My Dad has been keeping pretty quiet about this whole ordeal, he doesn't want to worry me??? He has always been this way my whole life, the protector, even though I'm 42, he is still trying to shield his baby.
So for now no news is good news and I am trying to keep busy until we have test results(they seem like they take forever!!).
Thank you from our family, thank you so much.

Top O' the morning to ya'.

Top O' the morning to ya.
Happy Saint Patrick's Day to you, wishing you all the luck of the Irish.
