So the time has come, once again, for all the lurking readers to post a comment. I am challenging my readers (the few I have) to post a comment once to every five of my posts or once a week.
I know my life is not exiting and sometimes there is nothing really to comment on...BUT I would like to know who is peering in on my family life.

Naked Party...
We just came in from outside and the girls are stripping down for a naked party?!?!?! While they are turning our acreage into a nudist colony I thought I would start updating my blog with long overdue pictures.
My dear husband took half a day off on Thursday and came home with these. I am trying to load another picture but blogger has picked up quite the attitude today and does not want to cooperate.
And the crazy man that gave them to me.

Pictures
See what happens when you don't update with pictures on a regular basis...you have a blogger that comes on to post an apology. Yup that's me.
I have the following topics of pictures to post:
Telus World Of Science
Pizza Making
Roses
Dolly Diapers
Paintings
The pictures, again, will wait. We have to head to Bawlf to get the mail and then to Camrose for a couple of things. Natasha started getting her chirp magazine and their are some great craft activities we can do so we have to pick up some supplies. The weather is beautiful so I think we will have burgers on the bbq tonight so I will grab some buns. All of our seedings are up and pushing up on the dome so we will have to move them soon.
Later...

Hump Day
Monday was a lovely but busy day as me and the girls headed into the city. We drove the west end to pick up a coffee table from an LP member. It is really nice solid oak table that has a lift up top. It needs a wipe down and some wood polish and it will look nearly new. Next we headed to the north side to pick up the dolly diapers Susan (LP Kyliesmom) had sewn. She had also made blankets and packaged them in baby gift bags complete with paper. My girls love them. Susan was so sweet. I searched for her house and finally it clicked I had her number in my cell phone. I called and she went outside and made herself visible to me. I walk to her door, a complete stranger, and almost fell to my knees, begging, to use her washroom. She kindly obliged....THANK YOU!!! Susan I have some pictures of the girls with their stash that I will post.
Next we headed to Westmount to meet my cousin, Dolci, and her three kids. We had lunch and then let the kids have two rides on coin rides. We walked down the mall to see my aunt but she was busy so we chatted while the kids burned off some energy. We parted and I took the girls to Telus World of Science. I haven't been there in years, probably close to 10. We spent about 2 hours there. I would have like to spend more but I had other places to go. Anyway it was really fun. The girls loved everything and were kind of spinny. They finished one thing and wanted to see something else. I would like to go back and have more time. There favorite exhibit was the body. Ashley loved the Fart piano and Natasha loved smelly everything and then looking at what she just sniffed. Some were gross, like butts and armpits.
After Telus World Of Science we hopped over to see Auntie Dana at work. Then it was off to Costco. We zipped around there and then headed to MP for my weekly coaching session. Auntie Dana came to the pool and picked up the girls and took them to her place. After I was done coaching I went and picked up the girls and headed home.
Tuesday morning we had swimming lessons. Monday was so busy I really didn't want to go anywhere Tuesday morning but alas we got up and went. To be honest I am tired of the swimming lessons. We have done about 5 sessions on Tuesday mornings and I am read for it to be done. We will finish this session and then I think we will be done until fall. After swimming I dropped the girls off at my mom's and went grocery shopping. I have not hit a 10% Tuesday in a long time and while I went in with a small list I went to the checkout with a full buggy. I went and picked up the girls just as they were having lunch. We left my moms and made a quick stop at the pet store for some new fish and then headed home.
I gave up on my book, No Country for Old Men, and have since started 19 minutes. I am enjoying it thus far and think it will be a relatively easy read....long but easy. I will try and revisit it later. I watched a movie tonight, Things We Lost in the Fire. It starred Halle Berry and Benicho Del Toro. It was good...I cried. I think I will start rating movies on the tear factor like the papers use boxes of popcorn...or maybe I should use boxes of tissues.
We have some new crafts to do tomorrow with the girls. They have been painting up a storm since I bought new paint and have played a lot with the homemade moon sand.
I am in a funk and seem to be very emotional. The thing that bothers me the most about it is that I can't pin point a reason behind it. Normally I find myself to be very level headed, go with the flow, and happy but lately I just seem to be funky (and yes I am showering.) I have been getting up in the morning to ride my bike again which feels good but I am tired but midday. The tiredness will pass once it is routine again.
I am tired now so I am going to get Adam his sandwiches together and hit the sack.
Goodnight and I will post pictures from the last 3 days tomorrow.

Tomorrow
Tomorrow is my day to coach in Sherwood Park. Normally the kids stay behind with my mom but tomorrow my mom is busy...so tag along they must. I have to pick up a coffee table in the westend and then I think I am going to take the girls to Telus World of Science. I haven't been to the Space Science Center oops Telus World of Science in probably 10-12 years. Natasha has yet to go and I think she will have lots of fun. Depending on how our day goes maybe we will make it a weekly thing. I would love to head back to the Alberta Museum again.
Anyway I am tired.
I started a new book, No Country for Old Men. This may be one book I have to close before I finish it. I really don't like the writing style. The author does not use quotation marks which I believe is taught in elementary school at some point. I guess not using proper punctuation is a literary effect that is just way over my head. I have a number of other books waiting in the wing so maybe I should accept defeat and move onto something else whilst I am still motivated.
I also watched a movie tonight upon recommendation of a fellow blogger. Away from Her. It is the story of a husband and wife, married 44 years. The wife develops Alzheimers. It follows the relationship through the early stages, moving to a home, and the progression. I like that, early on, she was made aware of her disease, read up on it, and was the primary decision maker when it came to move to a home. This subject touches close to home as someone dear to me suffers from Alzheimers at a very early age.
Well I am off to bed.

Ugh
I have, against all procrastination, put 6 out of 8 loads of laundry away. Because I depise this job so much I don't like admitting the sense of satisfaction knowing it is done. Here is to Wednesday when I do this lovely dance again!
I have also started clipping Johnny. I do this in two stages: body and face, and then legs (which both of us hate). He is greasy and will get a bath when all is done. With all the melting snow and soon to be mud he gets dirty so fast. Considering he is our inside dog the shorter the haircut, the easier it is to dry him off before granting permission to enter the house.
Aww Johnny boy I do love you!!!
