Remember Memory?
I used to play it for hours - either with a friend or by myself. Such a fantastic and simple game.
The boys were bored the other day and when I suggested a round of Memory - they were up for it. They decided to use all the cards - which at first I thought was a bad idea (knowing their attention span and all LOL) - but they did it and they had a lot of fun. I heard a lot of giggling and laughter and they made it through all the cards - not only once, but three times.

Makes me Happy
This is my favorite cup EVER! Our babysitter of many years gave it to me for Christmas 2006 (filled with a bunch of homemade cookies) and it is my favorite cup for my coffee in the morning. It has the perfect shape and I love the happy and cheery littel message on it.

Playing catch up
Okay, here are the pictures of the last 7 days - I just don't manage to upload every day. I guess it would have been more realistic to do this "a picture a week" LOL. But, I am trying :)
And thanks to Cyndi - I found out that I posted the picture on Day 11 before LOL - DUH big time.
I can't believe I did that!
Anyhow, here is a new batch :)
January 18, 2007
Well, it's a picture - a picture of a layout that I posted on the POTP Blog today.
January 17, 2008
This picture is not new - it has been taken last year in spring when my parents from Germany came to visit us. I just thought about them lots today and really miss them, sucks to not have them close by :(
January 16, 2008
This picture is not new either - it has been taken last year at Thanksgiving. It shows my dd Paula and my SIL. I just came across it again the other day and the resemblance of the 2 of them just blows me away - holy crap!! I know it's not the best picture - but man - it's basically the same face. Those "Bell" genes are strong genes for sure. Paula just looks nothing like me at all!!
This is how I look:
See - no resemblance WHATSOEVER!!
January 15, 2008
Neverending laundry - it's crazy - it's just NEVER EVER ending. And, see the 2 large piles in the back there - the ones that are tipping over already? That's all Liams stuff! He undresses, throws everything on the floor and when I ask him to bring me his laundry, he scoops it all up and brings it to me - if it's dirty or not. Drives me nuts LOL And guess what - there is almost no underwear in his pile!!! A boys life I guess LOL.

I love walking in the living room and finding both my kids snuggled up with their blankies reading their books. This is not something that happens too often, I usually have to remind them, force them threaten them to go and read. They argue, fight, cry and all that stuff, and in the end they don't want to put their books down - little goofheads!
January 13, 2008
My kids do get along most of the time - but they don't really play together. Their interests are just really different - Liam loves all kinds of sports and shooting Nerfs at people and Paula loves to talk a lot and hang around us, or sit and colour. So, I thought I better capture this rare moment of playing together - I love when they do that.
January 12, 2008
You'll be seeing a lot of pictures of these 2 little adorable girls - Paula and her BFF Cassie. They cannot do without each other and are always up to have their picture taken. I love it.

Day 11
Well, I am slacking already with my photo a day LOL, but the last few days have been busy and I had no energy to do anything but do what had to be done and then go to bed.
Anywho............I took this picture a couple of days ago and it shows that we always have a lot of kids at our house LOL. My children are very social and we don't mind having their friends over. There is hardly ever a weekend where there is not at least one sleepover or numerous playdates.
The only problem is that the noise level is sometimes more than I can handle and I wish I had a down/upstairs for the kids. And those boys are so much louder than the girls LOL. There is endless hockey and soccer games happening in my hallway - but oh well, I know one day they will be out and about and I 'might' miss the hussle and bussle (no idea on how to spell that LOL).
On another note, I am so glad it is friday and the weekend is here. The first week back at work seemed to drag on forever and not every day was a good day - but I have calmed down and I am back in the routine. Just gotta make sure I make time for the 'important' things in life and be more involved in the kids' school life and so on. Some decisions and compromises need to be made and then I'll go from there.
Happy weekend everyone :)

Day 7
Well, this has been a shitty day all around - so I went and got myself a bottle of beer.
Nothing like using alcohol to get over a shitty day - huh? That's real classy, isn't it LOL?
But... like ...whatever!!

A Picture a Day
After reading about a "Picture a Day" on POTP, I decided to give this a try as well. Seems like a great idea to document those little things of our daily life.
So, here it goes - January 1 - January 6, 2008.
Love how The Empress Hotel is all lit up - so pretty.
