Cousins

I have cousins in Toronto Canada who just adopted a family of children. There are four of them, two girls and two boys. My cousins wanted to adopt a child and didn’t have the heart to separate them, so they took them all. This also means that they have to build an addition to their house to make room for everyone. Toronto home additions are not that expensive or difficult to achieve. Originally they were going to do basement renovations toronto, but decided to keep the basement as a family play room instead. They need only add some more furniture and toys for the kids.

They are going to have to find toronto bathroom contractors as well since they are going to add another bathroom to the house as well. I am so happy for them that they are doing this. They are helping children who have no one else to help them. I am proud of them and glad that they finally have the family they have always wanted. I can’t wait for the holidays to come around so we can all meet the children. It will be a very special Christmas this year.

Sunday breakfast

Well, it is just about time to start Sunday breakfast. I always make a really big breakfast on Sundays for my family. It is just my little way of telling them how much I love them, by making their favorite stuff. This morning I am going to make muffins, bacon, sausage, eggs and hash browns. It really doesn’t take all that long and it is worth it to be able to sit down for breakfast with my family. Anyway, I am off to cook. Hope everyone has a great day!

New spice rack

I am so happy. I bought a lovely new spice rack for the kitchen. My old one was just not enough anymore to handle what I needed and wanted to store spices in. I needed a larger one to accommodate all of my spices. When you first start out, you don’t really know what you will need, but as time goes along your needs grow. I have out grown a great many things in my kitchen. The wall spice rack was just one of them.

I am slowly upgrading my kitchen, little by little. Its a good thing that kitchen spice racks are not very expensive with all of the remodeling I have been doing this year. I seem to be constantly shopping for the house lately. I don’t mind though because my house looks amazing now. I am so very proud of what I have done here and so are the kids. We are much happier now that we have started making this house a home that we can be proud of.

Whats the point?

Why do cyber punks hack accounts like Facebook? I just don’t understand. My sons account was hacked, but there is nothing anyone can use on there. We don’t use credit cards on it or anything, so why bother hacking a kids account. It just seems stupid to me. Oh well, we changed his password and buttoned everything down so that they cannot do it again. I keep a log of the kids passwords and such so I can monitor them online and keep them safe. It shouldn’t happen again.

So much to do

I really have so much to get done this week. I have to go to frugaldad.com home depot specials for coupons so I can go to home depot and pick up materials for the bathroom we are redoing downstairs. Plus my regular work, which I have gotten behind on. I have been keeping the kids entertained since school let out and a few things have fallen to the side because of it. I don’t remember my parents keeping us entertained during summer. We were never home. As soon as we opened our eyes in the morning we would hop out of bed, eat some breakfast and take off out the door. Today’s kids just aren’t like that.

Anyway, my first thing on the agenda is to go to use frugaldad.com home depot specials. The errands are going to take up half the day, but I want to get them out of the way this morning so I do not have to go back out later. Grocery shopping is the next thing on the agenda and that takes a good two hours, especially when I have to take the kids with me. It is hard to concentrate on what I need to buy with kids constantly asking for stuff while we are there. Never fear though, I will get through it.

I think I want a new faucet for that bathroom. frugaldad.com home depot specials has the coupons I need to buy the bathroom stuff. There is a little leak in the other one, so I am going to replace it and the basin as well. I am getting a pedestal basin with a water fall type faucet. It is the guest bathroom and I want it to look really nice for people when they visit my home. I have already replaced the toilet and painted the bathroom. I also put up a border in there that looks amazing.

Anyway, it is time to get the kids ready to go. They seem to be dragging this morning and not very awake. I think they stayed up too late watching TV in their rooms last night, but they wanted to finish watching the movie and I didn’t have the heart to turn it off on them. Oh well I am off.

Such balmy weather

I cannot believe how balmy the weather has been. It is June and only 73 degrees outside. Unfortunately for me, I am stuck inside today working. I have so much to get done. I may play a little hooky later and do something with the kids. It is just too nice out to have them stuck indoors. Maybe I will take them to the park.

New decorations

I just bought some decorations for the outside of the house. They are these really neat things called rain chains. I can’t wait to see them in action. You attach them to the soffet of the house and when it rains the water runs down them either off the drain catch or into a bowl or bucket. It depends on the look you want for your house. The chains rain at my house in the back, runs down into a series of bowls like a water fall. It is going to be so pretty.

The rain chain in the front will run off down where the gutter drain used to be on both sides. It looks really neat just the way it is right now and I can imagine how it will look when it rains. I may have to sit on my front porch and just watch the rain for a while. Well, I know I will do that anyway. I love to watch the rain so long as it is not a bad storm or anything like that.

Memorial Day weekend

We had such a great time on Sunday. We went to the creek for some family fun in the water. Catching crayfish and swimming as well as a nice little BBQ. By the time we got home we were all burnt even though we used sun block. We spent Monday recuperating from our Sunday frolicking. I am very happy that we decided to get away from the house for our fun. I think sometimes we get into a rut staying home and need time away from the house that doesn’t include school or work. It definitely helps with our moods around here.

Mailbox

Well someone ran over my mailbox last night. This isn’t the first time I have had to replace it either. Usually it is just the box itself, but the mailbox posts was damaged as well this time.So I decided to just look up residential mailboxes and order one online. That way I can just wait for UPS to deliver it and set it right up.

My car hasn’t been running that well, so I have had to limit my trips out until we can figure out what is wrong with it. Even the guy at the garage is stumped. That is okay though, because I love to shop online and searching for mailboxes is easy as can be. It wont take long for it to come in either and that is a definite plus. I think I will go outside and remove the damaged box and post from the front yard. I will toss it in the back of my dads truck when he gets here. I know he will dispose of it for me.

Angry Birds is addicting

I started playing Angry Birds online and it is totally addicting. Even my man is playing it and the competition is fierce. It is so funny to watch him get excited every time he beats one of my scores, or if he has a hard time with one of the levels and starts to get aggravated over it. It is a lot of fun, but like I said, it is addicting. You can sit and play it for hours and hours. Be careful if you decide to start it, because you will get addicted too.
