The Little Sitter

Scarlett drew this picture of her getting babysat by her brother on PBSkids.org



Usually after dinner the kids like to play the Wii and the lap top. Tonight Ronyn played a transformer kid quiz to see what transformer you are most like. One of the questions was if you had to babysit your little sister what would you do with her? A)lock her in her room and yell at her until she is quiet B) Watch TV and play games with her all night C) I cant remember it as I was too shocked with A! Well Scarlett was right beside Ronyn when he was answering this question and she was so happy when Ronyn picked B that she gave him a big hug and kiss. I was then told that I had to leave the house as Ronyn was going to babysit and I needed to not be around as that is what moms do when their kids get babysat. So I told Ronyn he could babysit while I went and changed the laundry. After the 2mins it took me to change the laundry over I proceed to go upstairs where I was met by Ronyn who was going to pay ME for letting him babysit...I told him he had it backwards and I was to pay him. Well he was so excited to receive 25 cents to put in his piggy bank and was asking when he could do it again! I think maybe it is time to start with allowance and chores.

Ronyn

He is an amazing little boy who loves Lego, Superhero's, Myth Busters and How's It Made. He is creative, funny and has a very soft heart! He is getting freckles on his nose and has a chipped front tooth that someday will be gone. We have the exact same chin and share the same blue eyes. He has this giggle that makes me smile every time I hear it. I am so blessed to have this little boy I call Ronyn in my life!

Beach Glass

When I go to the beach I look for glass. I have been doing this since I was little. It makes me wish I would have kept all the pieces I searched for as a child. I love the beach and love the treasures it holds.

Peanut Big Top

My sister kindly got Scarlett Peanut Big Top Lalaloopsy Doll for Christmas. It was one of the most sought after dolls this past Holiday. Peanut has not got much attention until today. Scarlett thought that she should pose Peanut on her head and I should take pictures. It was really cute to see what she came up with and when she was ready she would say "Now" meaning snap that picture.

I also just purchased her a little table and chair set for her from Kijiji. I love buying used things as it saves it from going to the landfill and it saves money. With a little bit of soap and hard scrubbing you have a new to you treasure. I thought the table set would be good for tea party's, playmobil and for her to entertain her guests. So far it's only been used to get things from the top of her dresser. Now I don't know why I didn't think of that!

Don't you think that Lovable Labels would look great on Scarlett's storage system? It would teach her to stay organized and that it is a lesson that would stick with her!http://www.lovablelabels.ca/

Me

This is me....and I don't fancy my picture being taken. But I thought that I would give myself a challenge today and do a self portrait. I must say self portraits are hard and it is even harder picking one that you like and want to post. Anyways this is me and I prefer to be behind the camera.

A Quiet Start To A New Year

We brought the New Year in by doing nothing all day! It was kinda nice. We played Lego, made rice crispy treats, stayed in our jammies, undecked the halls and had breakfast for dinner. Wishing you a cheerful and happy 2011!

Last Day Of The Year...

Happy New Year Everyone! It is a quiet one here tonight...kids sleeping (the holidays have made them exhausted), Travis sleeping (not feeling well) and me all by my lonesome and can't bring myself to go to bed.......Someone has to bring in the new year!
