We had a normal weekend in Calgary. To us this can mean.....
2 passports applied for = 2 soaked through wet diapers
family outing at the park= 2 conked heads leaving the park in tears
moving a washer and dryer= a heavy moving Dollie landing on baby
afternoon date to mall= grandma and grandpa worn out
wedding reception with candy bar= 2 year old melt down
wanting to sleep in our own bed late leaving after said weekend= extremely grumpy 2 year old on Sunday
I love my life, it never ceases to amuse me.

Thinking of...
Lately Justin and I have been thinking about selling our house and building again. Mortgage rates are still really low and we are feeling the itch.
So I found this fantastic house plan that Iam OVERLY excited about like.
Change to plan: We are adding a walk in pantry in the kitchen, it will be 5 feet wide and run the length of the kitchen. So it will look like it is in the smaller part of the garage in this plan. Does that make sense?
I am really wanting feed back people, I know from experience that ALL house plans have flaws and I would love your ideas and comments about this one.

Meal Plan Monday... late
I kinda thought I would stop doing this, thinking no one really cared... but it turns out some of you actually read and even get ideas from me. Therefore I will be your guide, your meal planner hero, your cook in shinning pots and pans, your hostest with the mostest, your..... ok you get the idea.
Tuesday- Beef Dips. I thought I posted this recipe but I cant find it. So I use crusty buns, or leftover hamburger buns work great, sliced roast beef from the deli and Au Jus packets done by Club House. I heat up the roast beef in the boiling Au Jus sauce and then place it on buns and put gratted chedder on top, melt in under the broiler for 2 mins and serve hot with Au Jus dipping sauce. Super easy yet super yummy.
Wednesday- Breakfast or Pancakes whichever I am feeling like.
Thursday- Freezer Meal in Crockpot. I have talked about this before here. Justin and I are going to the temple to see a good friend go through for the first time. I will put the frozen meal in the crockpot at about noon and we can quickly eat before we have to leave at 5:15p.m. I have 6-8 different frezzer meals in my freezer, here is a recipe for one of my frezzer meals.
Perogie Casserole. Place large onion chopped in bottom of casserole pan, spread 2 kg of perogies on top. Mix the following and pour over perogies: 2 cans cream of mushroom soup 2 cups milk 2 cups shredded chedder cheese 500 ml of sour cream 1/2 cup melted marg. Bake for 1 hour at 350 deg F.
Friday, Saturday- High River and Calgary.
Sunday- Roast with Carrots and Potatoes in the crockpot.
ta ta for now!

More sewing
Lisa and I hang out a least once a week. So this last week we decided to do something a little more productive.... like sewing!
Between the 2 of us we got three dresses finished andignored our children were perfect mothers all day! ha ha just kidding, kinda.
I have posted about the pattern in this and this post, and the dress is really easy to make. K and A love these dresses and I think Lisa will now have to make them for her other girls too!

Easter!
Wow, its been a while since my last posting!
Easter is always crazy busy around here. This year we spent Good Friday with the Moxleys! We went to Henderson for a picnic (in the van) and played at the park and water, we colored Easter Eggs, held and fought over new baby Savanna, Justin built a picnic table for the girls, the photo wall was almost completed... and all with cousins! Thanks for the great weekend, ya'll!
We celebrate Easter usually Saturday or Friday morning,and my children get toys... and MAYBE 1 or 2 little chocolate eggs. I think it is fine to give your children treats.... just not a whole basket. but hey, thats just me! So this year they both got little backpacks. K has been asking for one for WEEKS. One of her little friends had one, and she thought it was just the neatest thing. She has played with this backpack nonstop!

And just a quick thank you to Ana over at Knock off Wood. All of her plans are free and Justin just threw this children's picnic table together for the girls. It was a fast, simple and heartfelt Easter gift for them.
Hope everyone had a great Easter!
