Happy Canada Day!

HAPPY CANADA DAY.




We all spent the evening with my brother, his wife and my 3 year old nephew. We had a bbq and my brother sent off fireworks again this year. My kids slept over with them and went to the beach the next day. C and I just enjoyed the day alone, went for breakfast and walked around and enjoyed the Canada Day Festivities. We saw a little baby in a stroller with Canada Day socks...LOL

Poor A, she really needs her sleep, she's 11 and moody as it is. She was up til 100am with my brother and up by 8am. Not a good combination for her. We were going to go out and get some fireworks to fool around with last night, but she was NOT in any mood for fun. I decided to have her hit the hay early and we'd do it Thursday or Friday night. She just cannot handle late nights unless she can sleep in. She was up today by 8am, therefore that was a full 12 hours sleep for her, she should be caught up a bit now.


Got an email from the Doc on the holiday no less. I'm hopping up and down at 5pm last night when the email came through by blackberry. I go to have my little totsicles deposited on July 16th! I was like whoa! You're kidding! I knew it was going to be this month, but to actually have the day narrowed down is just fabulous and exciting. It's not very long now. 7 months of waiting has actually gone by very quickly. The next two weeks will just fly by. Blood work, ultrasounds and more blood work... here we go again.


I have to feign sickness and fly in to Toronto on the eve of July 15 and the next morning is the day. I'll go back and rest at the hotel for the night and then fly home the next day, the 17th. I pray that is enough time for the little babies to settle in there. I'd leave earlier as I hate to be away from home, but I want to make sure I rest to give them a good chance.

Another exciting feature of my little holiday in the middile of the week (Canada Day). I am a fairly new blogger, but am a huge lurker and commenter. I have my favs and today one of them tagged me in a meme. Woot. This is my first time doing this, so bear with me.




For the Kreativ Blogger award the rules of acceptance are simple: list seven things you love and then pass the award to seven blogs you love.



Ok, here it goes....


1. Children. Particularly my 11 and 15 yr olds, Z and A - also my 3 year old Nephew A who tells me "I love you Auntie Nay." God love him.


2. My partner C - my greatest fan, huge support and comedienne extrodinaire, she makes me laugh every day.

3. Punta Cana, my first tropical vacation spot ever. Oh so beautiful, warm ocean and fabulous waves. I will be back for sure!



4. Going for long walks at the dog park with my dog Presley. She's a Weimaraner.













5. Massage from Amber my masseuse. C and I joke that I was beat up by a skinny chick, she is so tiny, yet, the next day I feel like I've been beaten up or hit by a truck. BUT... she really works out those knots and tense spots, she's fab.


6. Rainstorms, walking and playing around in the rain


7. Finishing a project, and planning a new one



And now for the 7 bloggers I love...
