an experiement

due to technical difficulties, we have no internet access at our house currently. i do, however, have a netbook (wireless) and can "surf the net" or more importantly, pay bills. i cant, or wont, upload my pictures to it, would rather to my base computer. therefore, i haven't updated the blog. who wants to read my blog without pictures. i read COUNTLESS blogs that do or dont have images and continue to read them daily. i dont know how some of those people do that...blog daily. they must blog like a weeks worth of blogs on monday to post all week. too much work for me.

a lot has happened recently....nana's birthday, thanksgiving, grandad's birthday, christmas, new years, moving, my dads birthday, finleys birthday...and countless other kodak moments. in all honesty, this blog has become kinda blah for me. i guess i think no one is reading it, and those who are--are family and see it in real time. i love my family. i think my kids are cute. i am,like most moms, biased. you all probably dont feel the need to see a picture of finley blowing bubbles or bradens lost tooth. maybe i use this blog to chronicle events instead of a scrapbook....because I dont scrapbook...but some days i think...really, does anyone care?

IF, and its a big IF, our internet is stable and working, i might do an experiment next week.

"a week in the life of this stay at home mom". nothing out of the ordinary special is happening next week, so you all will get a first hand experience at what my days consist of....its a forewarning. if you could care less...dont check back next week at all. i am going to TRY to update daily....hold on to your hats...im sure it will be riviting!! (can you sense the sarcasm?)

We're In, We're In!!

So on Christmas Eve we "moved in"....technically we "slept in". We had been moving all our stuff with the help of our families the whole month of December with the hopes of being "in" by Christmas. Needless to say we have worked our tails off and I am sick to death of cardboard. EVERYTHING except for a few carloads (random toys, my crafting inventory and some odds and ends) is in the house. In the house, not where it is supposed to be, but in the house. The kids rooms are basically put together as well as the toy room and guest rooms. Sean office, our closet, basement and garage NEED SOME WORK. But that is ok!!! We are in and that is all that counts. There is still some odds and end indoor work to be done....the guys are here today installing our blinds and plantation shutters. The security people are coming tommorrow to finish that up as well as show us how to use our entertainment stuff...Outside still needs tons of COSMETIC stuff, but that will wait till spring. Due to all of this....we don't have internet so I cant upload any pictures, although I havent taken any of interest....too busy.
My thoughts are to show you the house via pictures soon. I also have lofty goals to get a "happy new years, happy new house" card out...as well as plan Finleys 4th birthday party with Bradens 7th right around that corner...as well as still unpack, shovel the drive, laundry, remember where I put things, organize my craft room, get the kids to school on time, remember to eat, try to exercise (my best stress reliever since I dont drink), more laundry, finish my closet (thanks em!!), etc. etc. etc.

We had a wonderful Christmas in our new home!! The kids were excited, Braden gets it, Fin is still on the fence. She has lived on Prairie Street since she was 6 months old, so it is the only home she has known. We spent the entire Holiday season with family....Sean's brother and sister and their families were here a bunch because Gran (Seans grandmother) and Sean's Uncle Ron and Aunt Joyce were here. My sister and brother and their significant others were around as well!! So it was a busy holiday season to boot!!
I hope you all had a wonderful, happy holiday season!!
