Soccer Tournament

Tomorrow, I am playing in a soccer tournament! So excited! I know that I will feel sore tomorrow evening... but it will be a good kind of sore :) Just resting up this evening and having a cosy/early night. The big boys are playing basketball so a bit of extra sleep will do us all some good :)
Wishing you all a relaxing Friday night!

I am including a summer soccer picture in honour of tomorrow.... plus it is also nice to remember grass and warm temperatures ;)

More photo spam

I have always been taught "When you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all". So, because I am absolutely cranky with winter, I will avoid complaining too much on this blog (benefits of being a blog reader = you don't have to hear me rant in person) and just post some pictures :)

Wishing you a great rest of the day!

Nicka was very impressed that this chip looked like a heart ;) I love chips?

Daycare getting ready for Valentine's Day... more hearts!

Nicka's art project.... it looks like outside... except the snowman wouldn't be smiling ;)

Finally! We get to play outside!

Andreas and his toy ;)

Just too cold

This winter has been a real teaser: we get a few "warm-ish" days and then, bam!, super cold days follow. It has been like this all through January and it seems like February will be the same. These kinds of days are really too cold to go out and do anything :( On Monday, I think that I said some very bad words while I was walking/running from the parking lot to my work building... glad no one was around to hear that ;) Anyway, I am trying to think warm thoughts and remember the +35C days of summer- which I have to say that I definitely prefer... no complaining of the heat here ;)

Yesterday was fairly warm... only -14C/no wind.... so today should start to get colder... think warm thoughts.... think warm thoughts.... think warm thoughts.....

Have a great (warm) day! XOX

Cold Montreal

Yes, I am stopped in traffic ;)

Even our dog does not want to go outside ;)

Missing my own blog birthday!

I can't believe I missed it! On January 20, Outnumbered by Boys turned 1 year old!! Guess time flies when you are having fun :)

Thanks for being a part of the journey XOX

The past few days (photo spam) :)

On Friday, a very tired but happy boy came home from his trip :) We had a nice evening and caught up on all the adventures. Given the busy week for all, no one actually argued when it was bed time! Like usual, Saturday morning was filled with basketball (the boys) and soccer (mine). Big fun time was Nicka's birthday party in the evening: pizza, cupcakes and 2 hours of video games at a local gaming centre! Heaven for 8 year old boys :)

Today has already gone by so fast that I can tell I will be in need of another Sunday! It has been Oliver's sport day, homework for Alexander and Nicka and BIG cleaning for me (blah!). Maybe my compensation will be one of the left over cupcakes OR some fantastic Danish candies sent from a very lovely blogger ;)

Wishing you all a great rest of the weekend and a happy week ahead!

This is like gold in this home :)

Alexander is very excited because cupcakes are next

Can I sing and walk at the same time? ;)

He wanted a lot of candles ;)

Happy boy

Our new friend

I just wanted to show off our new Lego planter.... idea stolen from Pinterest ;)

Ready for fun

I dropped Alexander off at school today and, as fast as I could try to kiss his cheek, he was off. Absolutely excited to find his friends (and, until Friday, room-mates), he took off for the "meeting" so that they could plan, strategize and scheme all the fun possible! Although, like I wrote in my last post, the mother side of me isn't a fan of having him away (a feeling that was shared by many of the mothers of children in Alexander's class), I know that he will have a great time. He was definitely ready for fun.... as were the rest of the class!

By the way, I did manage to whisper in his ear (so his friends wouldn't hear, of course!) that he should use the washroom before getting on the bus. One part of my mother side was satisifed that I did my job ;)

Wishing the children a great trip.... and a great day to the rest of you :)
