Blogcation pics

Blogcation is quite nice and it feels good to lay on the couch at night watching good, old Henry (YES, we are still watching the Tudors ... but I fear his life, and with this his insanity, is coming to an end now) without thinking  "oh I still need to post this or that. "
Not that anybody expects it, I just made it my job to report and record each and every ordinary, crazy, silly, happy, sad or "grrr" moment we have. What else do I have to do?

I am supposed to "shut up" until February but the people who know me know that it's almost impossible to "shut up" for me :)

Adding to the dilemma is that the Ls now expect me to post their artsy creations on the blog.
L's comment was: "You don't like my snowman?"
Me: " Of course I do!"
L: "Why don't you put it on the blog then Mama?"
Me: blank stare!!!

Of course I had to post these pictures after that conversation!!!

The Ls got new desks last weekend. YEAHHH ... finally they have their own "creative space" and L can sit at a table her size to do her homework without crunching over or sitting on her knees.

Here are the first two master pieces that were created on the NEW DESKS :)

Ls' "Snowie"

He has real twig arms, buttons as buttons (hi-hi) and a very fancy toque. 

I said TOQUE, this should make all Canadian family members and friends happy, right ? :)

Lulu's "Frosty the SnowPrincess"

I love the eyes ... very powerful indeed :)

and of course lila ear warmers 

Oh and for those of you who have seen the play room before ... take a peak.

The ugly, cast iron stove is GONE, 

the brick layer on the floor for the stove, GONE 

and now we have ROOM to play, dance, create and make a HUGE mess!!!

Thanks to Ikea we now got quite a functioning work area for the Ls.

And yes Erin, free food for the kids while we were at Ikea. 

Nobody can beat that!!!

One big, empty play room.

We are still in construction mode.
Pat brought fancy white boards home from work. KT is remodeling and is throwing all this good stuff away??? CRAZY!!!
So my husband has been named the "KT Trash-Digger" and is asked to go through all trash bins in his building and to bring all usable items home.

We will find use for these homeless items here, we will donate to Ls school or whoever else needs these items. It's such a waste to throw these perfectly good items away!

Anyhow, new white boards will go up, we'll need ample illumination and better, more organized storage.
Lots do to ... I better run :)

Cheerio from blogcation ... told ya I can't shut up :)
