what’s up? Not much here – kids back in school (thank GOD! lol) and me? not a thing new really. My brother Pete left on Monday, had a showing on the house on Monday too – so there was some mad, serious cleaning going on once he left! Still have all the Christmas stuff up, in all it’s glory – didn’t really get a chance to enjoy my tree over Christmas so I’m enjoying it now LOL It will be down over the weekend tho *sadness* The girls and I headed to Bridgewater yesterday so we could all spend our Christmas loot – lordy we all love gift cards and the fun they bring with the shopping LOL Kevin and Tracy gave me one to my MOST favorite clothing store and with their sales, my gift card AND a coupon I had I was able to get 2 new prs of pants and 2 new shirts – WOOT! 
Alyssa got new jeans, jewelry AND her ears pierced for the 4th time – well 3 holes now on one side, 4 on the other if you count her upper piercing in the cartilage – told her I really thought that was enough for now LOL Megs of course spent hers on toys (Barbie stuff) and jewelry and the like. Then we had a nice late supper at Boston Pizza and then home All in all, a nice day
And well – I guess that’s it for now. Boring I know – what can I say?? lol Not much apparently
and it’s coming in with one helluva storm! yikes! We are being pounded here with snow – started yesterday and there’s no sign of it letting up anytime soon. A weather ‘bomb’ they are calling it. Ice pellets have just started, but now mixed in with big heavy flakes too – it’s nothing but white every where you look. My brother Pete was supposed to leave this morning to head back to Ontario, but guess what???????? He’s outside shoveling and playing with the girls LOL It’s going to be Monday, *maybe* Tuesday at this point before he leaves.
Christmas has once again come and gone – it was a low keyed, quiet day – the girls had a great morning, enjoyed all their gifts and very happy with everything they got. Megan declared it the “best Christmas ever!” so I guess once again I did good eh?? We had Christmas dinner at Kevin and Tracy’s and then everyone was here last night for New Year’s Day dinner. Everything Christmas is still up and being enjoyed and probably will be for the next couple days…maybe by next weekend I’ll clean it all up, but for now we are still enjoying the tree and the lights
New Year’s Eve was spent hanging out with some very good friends – a very quiet time actually – well quiet until Mark decided to get the shot gun out and ring in 2010 – things were going well until Crystal decided she wanted to shoot it…and killed her poor deck *snort* Well, not the deck so much but the plexiglass railing…*giggle* It was still a fun evening, and much better then my original plan of staying home LOL
And now some pics from the last week or two – enjoy!
