Painting, again!

Big excitement, Emmy passed her first level in swimming lessons!  Woo hoo!  She's well on her way to becoming a lifeguard!  Hee hee!

Today we painted baby E's big girl room.  The paint colour is called "Victorian Lace" by Benjamin Moore.  Love the colour as it is very pale - almost white in spots - but you can definitely tell it's pink!

My parents came up twice this week to help out with things.  Because there was wallpaper on the bottom half of the wall in her new room, my mom painted it with an oil based primer on Friday.  Good thing it was beautiful outside because we had the windows wide open; even with the paint being odor free!

Yesterday, we went to Derek & Annette's for a big brunch as Aunt Judy was in town from Saskatchewan.  There was about 15 people there, including baby E!  She was dressed in a purple tutu, she looked so cute.

Last night, hubby and I just chilled out.  We watched a movie downstairs in the basement with the fire on - the only problem was that we couldn't figure out how to turn it off!  Somehow we managed to, but we really need to read the directions about the remote control!

Tomorrow....what's on tap for tomorrow....

Lists!
1.  Go for a walk with E
2.  Finish laundry
3.  Dismantle bed frame (and move to basement)
4.  must go and consult my other list! I'm the queen of lists, just ask hubby!

:)
love you, baby E!

What a day!

Today we went for a walk around Joker's Hill in Newmarket.  I had baby E in a backpack and it was GREAT!  It was nice to get out with other mom's and just talk about babies and other fun stuff.  It's a great place to get advice.  They all knew each other from Stroller Mates which is the mall walking group. They meet Tuesday & Thursday so I think I might go - but it starts at 8.30am so I will have to be up early!

Things are fun these days!

Happy Hallowe'en...well, belated wishes!

I can't believe it's November 1st.  Where has the time gone.  I'm hanging out in front of the tv but I'm on the computer as well because tv is just so darn boring these days.  The only show I really, really like is "Hart of Dixie".

Baby E is doing well.  She suffered through an extreme bought of constipation; I've never seen anything as terrible as that.  She was straining so hard she was shaking.  Finally, she was able to pass it.  Thank god!

Other than that, life has been good for the little one.  We've had some fun these past couple of days hanging out with various people.  Last night she was a pumpkin and we took her to visit her Nana & Grandpa and her cousins in Oak Ridges.

Oh wait, yesterday was a tough day.  I was finishing stroller fitness and I had given her a baby mum-mum.  She managed to choke on it and I couldn't fish it out so I had to immediately flip her over on my arm and proceed to do infant choking.  It was terrible and brought me immediately back to the day we brought her back from the hospital when she turned a terrible shade of blue because she stopped breathing.  Oh the drama!

I'm now addicted to martha stewart craft punches.  I've got like 5 bids going on ebay and I've already succeeded with one.  Hopefully it will arrive soon!
