Jesus Plays Hockey

My kids are very cute.  I am sure most  moms would agree with me - every mom thinks our kids are cute.  Our kids come up with some of the cutest sayings and doings.  Today Darren and I took the girls bowling.  The older 2 LOVE to bowl - it's always a fun family outing - not too expensive and pretty pain-free.  My kids know not to ask for food or money for the vending machines - so we can go in and out pretty unscathed.  My favourite part of bowling today was Kamrin and Mikka helping Luci to guide and roll the ball.  It really was overwhelmingly adorable how they talked to her, explained to her and eventually gave the ball a little extra shove to ensure the ball made it to the pins.  It was a joy to watch.  Later tonight - after a fun trip to Costco (Costco is always a fun treat) - we headed off to the skating rink with Daddy.  We have not had so much daddy time in months - it was an awesome treat.  On the way to the rink we were in discussion about the girls skating futures and whether or not they wanted to do hockey.  Mikka has decided that she definitely wants to play next year so she was going to skate in her old hockey skates tonight - to see if they fit and if she still enjoyed skating on those types of skates.  Then Kamrin started chirping that she wanted to play again next year too.  Of course, Luci wasn't to be left out and bellowed out that she, too, was going to play hockey.  In fact, she was going to go play hockey tonight!  I said it was too bad we didn't have any mini-sticks for her to play around with.  Mikka announced that our friend CJ has millions of mini-sticks, also that our friend Bryce plays with them too.  Then out of no where Luci adds, "And Jesus does too".  We all howled!!!  "Jesus plays mini-sticks, Luci?", I asked.  "YES! Jesus plays mini-sticks"  she declared.  priceless.  We aren't sure where that came from - but it was one of her cuter moments today!  And oh yeah....she cried the whole time on the ice and said she didn't want to play hockey after all.....that she'd do it next week.!DSC02768.JPG

Just say NO

     I can't say No.  No, I am not talking about when people ask me for something.  I have learned that it's good to say no when I am feeling too busy or over-scheduled.  What I can't say NO to is baking.  Sweets are a problem for me - always have been and probably always will.       Today I had a bunch of bananas that were starting to encourage fruit flys to come and hang out and party.  I knew I needed to bake with them.  I have a kickass banana bread recipe that my family gobbles up so I knew that I would please the girls to no end if I baked for them.  I also had some fresh strawberries from the St. Jacobs Farmers Market, and rhubarb too.  I love love love rhubarb...especially in a pie....with strawberries.  So after tidying and cleaning today and feeling pretty good about life, I pulled out the bits and pieces and started creating yummy treats.  I also made this yummy curried barley and ...

Safe Landing!

I love dreams.  Dreams - the ones you have when you're sleeping...not the ones you think of when you're stuck in traffic, the sun beating down on you, your air conditioner isn't working and you just want to be anywhere but there.  I like the ones I can remember and have a chuckle at.  I still remember one I had in grade one that included Chris Adams and Jamie Bateman, a prison, black and white striped uniforms and Frankenstein.  Don't know why that one always stuck with me, but well, it always has.  I wish I remembered more of my dreams.  The good ones.  The ones that I wake up smiling to.  I don't know why we have them, but I know they are significant to us, these dreams. For the past 15 years I have had a dream. It's not been a nice one and it varies - however, it always involves an airplane and fear.  It goes something like this.  I am on the jet plane with a whole schwack of other passengers. The plane either has engine failure, lan...

Live on the Wild Side

This morning I was putting away things....I am always putting away things...but this morning the things included a couple of photo albums the girls had out.  The photos were those of my trip to Qatar in 06.  It was an adventure my sister and brother in law brought me out on after being severly ill for months with pneumonia.  In order to get better, they gave me a trip to look forward to.  It was a light at the end of a long, dark, sick tunnel and was a trip of a lifetime.  As I looked through the pictures of the fun things we did and saw, I found a picture of Kara, Todd and I in the desert, the day we went 'duning'.  And I was reminded of a wonderful story and figured, it was good enough to share.... Kara and Todd took me to the desert - it wasn't far away - heck, they live in it.  However, this was the fun desert where all the adventure seekers spent some time driving around at warp speed over mounds of sand.  I was pumped beyond belief to do t...
