***A NEW LOOK TO THE FAMILY ROOM....

THE BIG TRANSFORMATION....

O.K. so my attempt to make the almost finished family look better than seeing insulation and plastic on the walls didn't turn out all that bad. We decided to just paint the plastic until we are ready to finish the walls properly. I know the color is awful but it didn't cost us anything. We had it in the basement so we thought we would use it up. We will consider a different color on the finished walls lol. The room does look more like a room and it will have to do for now. It does look a lot cleaner oh but that color...eeks, I will have to get over it :0)

***NEW YEARS EVE....

How did you spend you New Years Eve this year? We spent the evening with family! The older two kids went to my sisters house with her 3 kids (our younger sister babysat) and the two younger boys stayed at the house with us and had a little party of their own in their bedroom eating lots of food and watching a movie before heading off to bed. They did sneak out a time or two to get in on some fun but then were off to bed.

So yeah, where was I? Right...the adults actually spent the night playing Wii. Us girls took over the Dance Dance Revolution then the guys had their fun bowling. If people weren't interested in those games we also had the playstation upstairs with guitar hero. Surprisingly everyone had a great time and the game systems were a hit. Who would have thought! Anyway here we are in the New Year I hope it is a good year for everyone.

I am on the white and blue mat above and my son getting a turn below. It was fun!

***THE WATERHORSE...

O.K. so we are back from watching "The Waterhorse" in theatre. What do I say about it?....well compared to Alvin and the Chipmunks it didn't seem to keep the kids entertained but it was a pretty good movie. Like my oldest son said it's hard to compare the two movies because they are so different but they all enjoyed Alvin and the Chipmunks much better than Waterhorse. My kids can watch most movies over and over again that's why we buy them when they are available on DVD but I don't think this one they would watch too many times. I guess that's all I can say about that The Waterhorse, but as for Alvin and the Chipmunks I would recommend that movie to everyone! It was entertaining from the beginning to the end :0)

***HOME IN TIME...

My oldest son Jay has just spent the last 2 nights at his best friends house. They have a great time together and his friends mother just loves having Jay there...she says it works out great for her because when Jay is there her 2 boys don't fight with each other and all 3 boys get along great together and no one gets left out. Well Jay is finally home and I will have to kick him to the shower to get cleaned and ready to go to the movie with us. Moving around a lot has been hard on Jay and he usually gets a good friend just before we have to move so the fact that he already has this great friendship in the first 6 months is nice to see and he is happy.

Jay on the end with the elf hat (look how happy he is!) and Matthew beside him in the green shirt...the boys just finished their last school Christmas concert before entering Junior High next year!

***OFF TO THE MOVIES...

We thought it would be nice to do another family movie day. The kids really look forward to this time and we try to catch a movie in theatre when budget allows... "The Waterhorse" is in theatre. This movie came out Christmas day but we didn't have enough time to see both "Alvin and the Chipmunks" and "The Waterhorse" before the Christmas break was over. Today is the day and the kids are getting excited to go. Thank God they all got Movie gift cards from family when we were home visiting. That will sure help out a lot! I will let you all know how the movie is when we get back!

***GOOD SATURDAY MORNING !

Here it is another morning and I had a hard time pulling myself out of bed. I have been getting the best sleep ever with the new memory foam mattress that we got from my mom and dad. After all the cleaning that I finally am getting done, sleep was sure needed last night. Tonight when hubby gets home from work I am hopping to make a big transformation to our unfinished garage/family room where the kids now spend most of their time. Gyproc (?) isn't in the budget right now to finish the walls and I am getting tired of looking at the plastic covered insulation. I'm sure I will think of something by this evening. I will post pictures when finished, this could be interesting or turn into a mess LOL we will wait and see!

I love it...just love it!

**ALL THE EXCITEMENT OF CHRISTMAS....

Oh where to start? So much happened over the Christmas holiday and I have pictures like you wouldn't believe...We got an early start on the gifts with the air hockey table being set up before bed on Christmas Eve, this gave the kids a chance to play before bed and one less thing we had to put together Christmas day. It was a hit and we all had a great time playing! Christmas morning we took our time and before opening the gifts the kids played more air hockey. The kids were happy with their gifts and especially their big surprises this year. Santa left the family a big package which we waited until after breakfast to open....oh the excitement of waiting...but it was well worth it! A Nintendo Wii and extra games and assessories...including Dance Dance Revolution!

Not having family around this year for Christmas was different but the day went by so fast playing games with the kids and just spending family time together. After Turkey dinner was finished and the dessert we settled in for another movie, which didn't last long because I remembered I had another surprise gift for them (I thought it would be nice to spread out a few special gifts..)The 3 older kids got a gameboy DS Light...they were so excited! This was something neither of them expected, along with the Wii, they had a great night playing games then finally headed off to bed :0) It was a great Christmas! Click here to see more Christmas pictures!

iPOD CASES

Now that my children are getting older the items on their Christmas list were a bit more advanced which is only a sign of the truth that they are in deed growing up. It's not just toys anymore but ipods were one of the main gifts for two of my children and yes they both got their ipods but it doesn't stop there, with these ipods comes many different accessories for them and an ipod case is a must! While I was looking into many different cases I cam across The InvisibleSHEILD which is a revolutionary ipod case that protects not just the ipod but also most cell phones, smartphones and also portable gaming consoles that I will also need to look into in the near future.

The InvisibleSHEILD can be found at sheildzone and don't worry if you can't find a case for your device because they will custom design one for you. The InvisibleSHEILD offers protection that other cases, covers or protectors can give and it is made from a unique material that was created for the military to protect the edges of helicopter blades. So whatever your device is from MP3 players, ipods, watches, laptops, digital cameras and more, protect it with The InvisibleSHEILD and you will go scratch free.

***CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS ARE COMING DOWN...

It is always hard just getting back from visiting and getting the kids back on routine and the decorations put away but before the decorations can come down I have to get the house cleaned up and the boxes dug out from the storage room. Although things are pretty busy I am making some progress and I did get outside earlier this morning with the kids...more snow so lots to shovel. I am so thankful for our neighbors who cleared out our driveway while we were away and he came over again this morning and cleaned us out again. It was a great help. I have a couple hours left to clean before heading out to get groceries. I will see how much progress I can make till then. I am SO looking forward to getting things back to normal! :0)

PRAGMA SYSTEMS

As time goes on there are always new and helpful and more secure solutions added to the world of technology and with SFTP and SSH Pragma Systems, this will provide a secure connectivity solution that will provide large enterprises with secure remote administration and business application protection. It is always good to know that as the world of technology changes we can trust the security of our global connection.

***TRYING TO GET A NEW TEMPLATE....

I am having trouble getting a new template...computer is working very slow today...must not have been use to such a long break and doesn't remember how to work LOL anyway bare with me here until I get something new up and going!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Wow, what a week it has been! We just arrived back home an hour ago from visiting our family out of province. It was a great trip and we all had a great time and a Great New Year Party! The kids are just getting off to bed and I am heading there myself, I can't wait to curl up under the covers and enjoy our new memory foam mattress that my parents got us for Christmas.

I felt so bad not checking in on my blog but with all the craziness there just was no time. Tomorrow I will take the time to visit and get things back on track. I am looking forward to a great new year!

Chat with you all later :0)

***OVER FOR ANOTHER YEAR!

I can't believe that Christmas is over already! What a great year and although we didn't have anywhere to go on Christmas day we stayed home and kept busy and the day flew by so fast before we knew it...it was 11:00pm and it was time for hubby and I to put up the Wii game and head off to bed. It was different not having family around to visit but we had a great time playing games with the kids and the toys and empty boxes were piled up everywhere...what a mess. Today we are going to the movie theatre to see "Alvin and the Chipmunks" and back home to get backed for our trip home to visit family.
I hope you all had a great Christmas with your families! All the best in the new year! :0)

IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE !

Well here we are the countdown is coming to an end as we all take some time to celebrate Christmas with our family and friends. The kids are excited and unfortunately for me I have to take the four kids out on a MP3 hunt....come on really something has to go wrong just before Christmas right....my daughters player (when we went to download music on it for her so that it would be ready Christmas morning) it doesn't work...So I will have to see what I can find to replace it at such short notice :0( I guess that's what I get for putting it off until the end. Wish me luck!

I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday!

***2 DAYS 'TIL CHRISTMAS!

Only 2 days until Christmas and it's down to the wire. Are you ready? I am still working on getting the house clean there is no end to the house work, but I am determined to have it done today! Not much going on beside cleaning, Jay my oldest has his last night at Church youth group. They are having their Christmas party and I need to make something for pot luck! Tomorrow I will take Blake into Zellers (hubby's work) dressed in his little Santa suit so he can walk around and hand out candy canes. We are going to be there anyway so why not have some fun and put a smile on some peoples faces!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

3 DAYS 'TIL CHRISTMAS!

3 days until Christmas....Wow the day is already coming to an end and this is the first time I've sat at the computer all day and it will only be for a few minutes before I start getting the kids ready for bed. Speaking of the kids....OMG they are wild! The excitement of Christmas has really set in since I put some gifts under the tree, maybe I should have waited a bit longer for my own sanity. My hubby is working later tonight so I will get the kids off early and curl up in bed myself.

THE KIDS WITH SANTA AT THE KIDS CHRISTMAS PARTY A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO...

With now only 4 days left until Christmas and the kids home from school, I am happy to say that the shopping has come to an end...thank G*d because I ran out of money lol....I have a few things left to wrap and today I will slowly start bringing down some gifts to put under the tree. I don't know how long they will stay wrapped with Blake around (I know what happened to you Tammy with Aiden LOL) but we will see what happens. I have lots to do today but I will try my very best to do some blog hoppin'. If I don't get to your blog it's not because I wasn't thinking of you...Happy Holidays!

You can purchase gold bullion through Monex Deposit Company along with silver and other precious metals and coins and arrange for immediate personal delivery or convenient and safe storage that will take place at a depository or at an independent bank. Buying gold has been recognized as one of the best ways to preserve one's wealth and purchasing power. Yes, Gold bullion is real honest money! Gold bullion comes in three convenient forms that is available from Monex. As an investment product, gold is available in ingot or coin form and gold bullion is a unique investment.

BAKING MADE EASIER

I have been spending most of December getting ready for Christmas and this includes my Christmas baking and baking is not something I look forward to. I am always fighting with the hand mixer and feel it's not worth the time and effort, so off to the grocery store I go. Well after hearing about The Hamilton Beach® Eclectrics® Stand Mixer I knew that I had to have one to get back to the baking that I really enjoy doing and this would make it so much easier but deep down I thought this is something I would never own and my had mixer would have to do. So I thought until I WON my very own Hamilton Beach ® Mixer and I am telling you what a difference it makes with baking. Every kitchen should have a Hamilton beach® stand mixer!

So let me tell you about this fantastic all metal stand mixer and some of its great features that will have you wanting one of your own! You are sure to enjoy the hands free mixing with the professional 2 way rotating head, the high performance electronics ensures constant power and with 400 watts of power you can mix the toughest jobs of 4 one pound loaves of bread or my favorite, 9 dozen cookies. With having such a large family what cold be better than that. The Hamilton Beach® Eclectrics® Mixer was awarded Best Buy rating by 2 leading consumer magazines and I know it's rated my number one kitchen appliance that I won't do without. Check it out and get one for yourself with many different colors to choose from and have fun baking!
