Could it be...

Could it be the end of the school year already....
Could it be the first day of summer tomorrow....
Could it be the end of soccer already....
Could it be that my little girl is in a sling for 2 weeks...
Could it be that my craft room is getting a makeover....
Could it be 4 years already...

And I say YES to all the above.

End of school. My kids are so excited, so am I! I love having my kids at home. No deadlines for being home before the bus gets there. No waiting to go somewhere till there is a school break. No more packing lunches!!!!

Summer tomorrow. On the calendar it says it is happening but Mother nature seems to need a little encouragement. Oy! The rain! The up side is I am getting a few things done inside before it gets nice and I don't wanna be indoors.

Our last soccer game was last night. It stopped raining and was sunny  and warm for the last game. And we won! So it was a great ending. And our #20 almost scored.

It finally happened, I knew it would eventually. It's the nature of sports. And when you are dealing with another creature the unexpected occurs. And the end result is a sling for 2 weeks. It could have been so much worse. And it was a good thing she had a helmut on. Our little girl is taking riding lessons and the horse she was trotting on stopped short and she went flying over the left should of the horse. Slight fracture in her upper humorous. Which is her shoulder. If it was more than a 20% fracture there would've been more drastic procedures happening but in her case it was just slight. So 1 week is done and next week we go back for xrays to see if it is healed up. This has not deterred her in any way. She still wants to own a horse one day and she still loves the big critters. I think this jsut proved this is not just a phase...sorry Daddy.


On a field trip to Batoche

Craft room make over. I am pretty excited about this. Our church is remodelling the kitchen and were offering up the cabinets for free to anyone who would remove them. Well we claimed them and as a family we removed them. All the uppers are going in the garage and the lowers will be placed in my craft room. When a coat of paint will be applied. Mint green isn't exactly in my color realm. The outside will be painted white and the inside will be painted a color, which I will keep a surprise! New handles. We will use the existing counter top for now because there is nothing wrong with it but  we will replace it with a new laminate one when we find a good deal.

Thought I had a picture of my craft room as it was but this it has already been deconstructed a bit.



 4 years ago. In the middle of building and our guy had his appendices taken out. It is also when he discovered his love of World Cup soccer. He had nothing but time to lie on the couch and watched a LOT of soccer. Spain won the world cup and this year...well...let's just say I am already really disappointed.

Lots to look forward to this summer: our first summer road trip is gonna happen, kids in camp, kids in soccer camp, August long at the cottage, lots of fireside with friends and hopefully lots of swimming in our pool.

Happy Summer everyone!
