Laughter is Good Medicine!

Fun Family Faces

Okay, I was just having some fun and found this collage function in our picassa photo program. So, here are the many faces of our family (taken this summer)! They are crazy pictures as we all took turns being "models" and posing in different ways:-)

Me! (Jon thought I was crazy to post that bottom left picture...saying it wasn't all that attractive. I thought it was part of the craziness of the moment:-)

So, I got him back for that:-) Just kidding! He was joining right in the fun!

Of course my eldest daughter was loving every second of the photo shoot:-)

And then there is my cutie patootie (how on earth do you spell that word!).

The Mom Song

My dad just sent me this song. I thought it was amazing and hilarious and so true! You GOTTA check this one out :-)

"The Mom Song"

Made to Love

I was dancing like crazy (seriously CRAZY) this morning to get my kids out the door:-) LOL! I really love this song:-) It's hard to have a bad day when listening to this song!

Weekend Winter Fun!

Today it was around -10 degrees C (with windchill) which converts to about 14 degrees F. After the past week of consistent -45 degree celcius (-49 F) weather (and colder), it was such a relief to finally have some warmer winter weather this weekend!

We took advantage of escaping the "deep freeze" temps by going to a park nearby. We enjoyed a hike and then happened upon a few "hills" that we could slide down:-) Then we made supper over a bonfire~bannock, chips, s'mores and hot chocolate. (Do chips count as a veggie??? :-)

I thought I'd share a few pictures of our fun. Hope you enjoy:-)

Whee! Those "crazy carpets" were fun! I wish I'd taken a picture of Jon as well!


We made some pretty cool snow angels as the snow was so deep and clean.


Jon made a great warm fire for us:-)


Then we made some bannock. See this link for the recipe.





I like my bannock smothered in butter and cinnamon sugar! Yum!

We finished off with some "dessert" (like we needed some after bannock with cinnamon sugar??!) of s'mores. Bannock was my eldest daughter's request and s'mores was my youngest daughter's request. While I'm on the food topic... Chips was my husband's wish. And hot chocolate was mine:-) We're a very democratic family, aren't we?! :-)

All in all it was a fun family outing. We all were a little chilled by the end, but couldn't have gotten better winter weather for an outing like this!

Well, that's a sneak peak at our weekend winter fun!

The Big Surprise!

We had a big surprise this morning. We're all having a big laugh about it:-) You can read about it here at my counting my blessings blog.
