First off - Happy Bday to my cousins Jen & Kristi - they are sisters born exactly 2 yrs apart. "Irish Twins" Nov 22 and happy bday to my friend Louise in L.A. Nov 21!!
So, I'm suffering from my 3rd cold in 6 weeks. Argh. Today, I Lysol'd the entire office, vaccuumed it and bought an air purifyer. Hoping that all this helps, as I am sick and tired of getting sick and tired!! I know that E is bringing home all kinds of germs from daycare, but you would think after him being in daycare for almost 3 yrs, I would have built up some kind of immunity to it!
I've been getting to the gym 3-4 times a week - started my old routine from '97 back before annoying ex husband and before kid! Hoping that my body will remember what it used to look like and start transforming itself. E and I are going to Florida in Feb to meet up with my parents (they have rented a condo down there), so want to be in better shape for swimsuit weather!
Everybody has got the Christmas buzz! I'm working on getting my xmas cards ordered online. E and I are joining the Trimble family on Dec 9th for our now annual Christmas Tree Chopping day. We actually go to a farm and hunt down the perfect tree and "Uncle Ross" (tarryn's husband) chops it down for us. Instead of going to the Dairy Queen parking lot and buying one!!! We had fun with them last year, so hoping it won't be too cold this year! I bought garland for the post on our front porch and the cutest polar bear - its white and at night lights up with tonnes of lights - so cute! Been wanting to buy it for a couple of years! http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/product_detail.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=1408474396673356&bmUID=1164315137890&PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524443284344&assortment=primary&fromSearch=true
My builder called last week to advise that my move in date has been changed. It was supposed to be Feb 28th. I didn't think it would be done then - maybe March or April. She said it would be ready July 3rd. Rats! I was hoping that we would be in earlier. More time to save money for all the extra stuff like driveway, landscaping, patio in backyard etc. Still a bit disappointed tho.
E did not want to wear what I was putting on him this morning. (read MAJOR 3 yr old tantrum). Trying not to yell and be frustrated as we were already late, I said ok, you pick out what you want to wear and put it on. So, in he goes to his room, which he said I was not allowed into! Mommy, you stay out there, I'm getting dressed. Well, then, allright kid! He put on his undies (took off his pull ups that I put on him cause he hasn't mastered the pooping in the toilet yet!), socks his orange and black "bat halloween" shirt and jeans. He looked pretty good. He said, throwing his arms up in the air "All done mommy". Sigh. so cute.

3 years? Sorry, take it from a former first-year teacher--it takes 5 years. I know, insane. But seriously, 5 years.
Hope you feel better!
Boys seem to go through "the terrible ______ at three and girls at about 2.....However this too shall pass. Joshie is getting a little more bearable now(just turned 4) and Jakey is in the middle of it. Isn't it amazing how we always tell ourselves PRE kids that our kids will nevere do that? never say never....we all eat our words. The nice thing is there is hope in knowing this too shall pass!(that is with most!!) Jenn and Kristi both found that even just giving the kids the choice of two outfits in the a.m. solves a lot of major frustration. Seems to work well. Sorry to hear about you having yet another cold....yuk! Took Jenn, Jai and kids out to Happy Joes for pizza on her b'day. They have a train that runs around a track set up hight on the wall. The kids love it and best of all keeps them from getting antsy. Had b'day cake when we got home. Jake was soooo excited. Brownsons and Nanny came for turkey the next day and we had a really nice time. Jakey and Jenn had made pine cone turkeys which served as place cards. He told everyone several times when they arrived that he had may turkey for everyone! He was thrilled! Gotta run and get my car at the shop....take it easy....lv Auntie B
