Sweet Home Days
my crafty girl
My sweet girl loves to make things. She is super creative and is always coming up with new ideas. We set up a little corner of our kitchen for her to have her own space to be able to work when she wants and to not have to always pack things away until next time. This past fall she attended two craft fairs and did amazing in sales. She has been busy making all winter so this summer she is hoping to participate in a lot more fairs. I am so proud of her.
the third teenager
Just shy of six weeks ago my sweet Harkin turned 13. We had a great day celebrating him. We went to Montreal to a very cool golf simulator, go karting and arcade place. After working up an appetite we had his birthday meal at the poutine place we love so much. It was a fun day.
We misssed having his two older brothers with us, but that is how it is these days.
Still can't belive he is a teenager. He was my cute tiny happy go lucky guy. He is still all those things but not so tiny, taller than his mama already.
skating show
Another year, another show. She did an awesome job and had so much fun this year. She really loves skating and I love watching her.
eleven
We had a fun day at the water park celebrating Izzy's birthday. I even went on all the slides this time.
Came home to her favorite dinner: ceasar salad and nachos!.
She is getting so grown up, I am so proud of the young woman she is becomig. I love you my sweet girl.
January 2026
January started out great with awesome ski weather. The boys had the whole week off before they headed back to school so we were able to hang out and go skiing together and also the two big boys taught Harkin and Izzy how to snowboard.
Then the deep freeze set in and wild weather at Jay. Every time we had the chance to ski it was negative temps with crazy windchills. Izzy and Harkin had to brave it a few times with their team but I have no desire anymore to go when it is that cold.
So we have been busy at home, trying to keep the pipes from freezing. We did have a week with no shower since there was a huge hunk of ice in the pipes and it took us a bit to figure out where it was and defrost it. That was fun😂
Hoping February brings a bit warmer temps.
sunday
A day at home, knitting, cleaning, gathering wood, and getting a surprise basket from our neighbors.
