Love date...

I decided to do something extra special for Valentines day! I am going to set up the kid tent so we can have a sleepin' over in the living room, blow up balloons, get the kids some special valentines day "love gifts" ( hubby is included in that "kid" category) Pop some corn, put on a movie and have a fun and exiting LOVE date with my family!
I told Ty about it and he is soooo excited, he is doing the countdown to valentines day! I will try and remember to take some pics to share.
I made some "art" for my room ;-)

Tamaya made her bed, honesty she is too cute and sooo helpful!

I try and send Ty healthy-ish leftover lunches at school (each class has a microwave), sometimes I will also make him wraps & try and get creative, but sometimes I am at a loss and have NO CLUE what to send... so, I made some salmon pies today to freeze for those days we are sans left overs or out of ideas ;-)

Also made some little apple pie tarts, I had some pie shells left and apples in the fridge that probably won't last very much longer. They are YUMMY!!!

Another cancelled bus day!!!???...

It's 7:45am Steve's been gone to work for an hour and my 2 lovely children are still sleeping... WOW I have managed to have a cup of coffee uninterrupted! I can tell ya... that doesn't happen to often. I can almost guarantee Ty was up in the night. He never sleeps in like this.

I HAD an 9:00 appointment to get my van fixed up (they need to replace something with the power steering thingy) But low and behold it looks like it will be another house bound day. We have another bus cancellation day due to possible freezing rain. This is the 4th time in the last couple weeks that the buses have been cancelled in our area... CRAZY!!! I better think up something fun to do to keep the kids to keep them from going crazy (well, really myself)!!! I guess I can get the kids to work on Valentines day cards..lol

So my room... I AM IN LOVE - It does feel so nice to go into my nice fresh bedroom. I feel like an adult, like I have a place all to myself!

My room used to be the hang out spot. The kids would go in and play, watch the TV, jump on the bed (not that that was permitted, but they still did it!) When I was taking the room apart I found some spiderman dudes between my mattress and box-spring, I also found a few cars under the bed!!! But not no more. I have decided my room is now only open by invitation only ;-) ....But because I did that, I also had to make another "hang out" upstairs - you know, for those time I need to cook, clean etc. and still have the kids close enough so they are still in ears reach!
I had been reluctant to put a TV in my family room. I didn't want it to take away from the quiet, cozy atmosphere. When I added the TV from my room it looked so silly and bulky and I wasn't going to have it - until I had a vision of a flat screen on my fireplace mantle... and that changed everything. We are not big TV watchers, but I love music (the bell express view galaxy music channels). I love it for background noise and I especially find it motivating when I have to get my butt in gear so I NEEDED an upstairs TV. So off I went shopping and added a new piece to my "cozy" living room!!!

My mother in law bought me this for Christmas. I just love it! translated from French it says... A mothers love is filled with happiness and tenderness.

I got it...

I called the furniture store a few days ago to ask if they were on schedule building me my bedroom suite and she said "actually we are just about done"... WOOOHOOO! We made a delivery day - Friday (today).

I went to look at it yesterday (WOW) and pay the remainder of my bill and was informed that we were expecting a huge storm Friday and that it probably wouldn't be delivered until Monday. :-( But when the boss came to talk to me, he asked what I was doing that afternoon and that they could deliver it in a few hours!!!

So the logical thing to do would have been to go straight home and empty my room right? Nope, not me - logic went right out the window long ago... I went shopping for room accessories. I found some GORGEOUS throw pillows, a throw for the end of my bed, some new chocolate brown sheets, some bamboo type place-mats, some baskets for inside the armoire! I was very pleased with my purchases! I came home with an hour to spair to empty & vacuum my room. LOTS of time..hahaha

So the only problems with the new set - I love it so much I keep opening my bedroom door to peek at it, which is soooo unproductive :-)

The bed and nightstands - for some reason the flash from the camera is changing the true color of the stain - it's actually more of an espresso.
My cool pillows ;-)

The dresser
My armoire
My nick-nacks/place-mats

My living room with my old room in it - lovely!!! ( I have to tackle that today!!!) Wish me luck!!!
