Camera Challenge Success






I have been meaning to take pictures of the kids for WEEKS. It is virtually unheard of, but for some reason my camera just hasn't been handy and I plain just haven't even thought of taking any photos or videos. Well at least I managed to bring the camera out a couple of times. Karin's 13 month birthday is coming up, I haven't decided whether to continue with the monthly photos or not. New videos on Youtube channel.

On Saturday night we had some impromptu dinner guests. It was a fancy meal (BBQ hot dogs) but I think everyone had fun. The night wrapped up with several games of Jenga which the kids thoroughly enjoyed. We got some really nice weather this weekend and the snow got slushy enough to stick together and we made a snowman in the front yard. We made him facing the house so that we could enjoy him...the cars zipping by at 50 km/hr (or more) wouldn't appreciate him the way we do! Sadly, no photos of Frosty, as he didn't last very long with the extreme sunshine we got today.

Spent the AM tobogganing at nearby hill, had packed the Chariot in the back of the truck and when Karin had had enough of the hill (but Chance hadn't), I packed her up in the Chariot and walked home. We got home just as Cam and Chance drove up, so they didn't last much longer either. Cam started a fire and we roasted hot dogs for lunch. Karin had a 2 hour nap and I sewed Chance's PJ pants (red plaid with yellow diggers). Cam hit Home Depot and got a hanging system for our growing collection of ladders, and he and Chance spent a chunk of Man Time in the garage generally tidying up. It is a big improvement. Had a favorite meal for supper, Chicken Marbella (roasted chicken in wine, olive oil and vinegar, oregano and basil with prunes, olives and capers....OMG). Couscous and veggies with that, Cam was complaining still at 8 PM that he ate too much. :P
