no, not coloring. but james does love to 'goger.'
We've been busy the last week going here and there. I'm sick of packing a bag for a night or 2 unpacking and then doing it again. But that seems to be the trend of the last month. We did, however, stay in Cardston for almost 2 whole weeks up until last Friday. Yay for us, right?!
We went to Calgary for Sadie's birthday yesterday. Happy Birthday Sadie! We had so much fun! We also went to the mall. It was great. I don't count Lethbridge as going to the mall cause it kinda sucks, so I have not been to a real mall since the beginning June. I didn't even go crazy and buy out the whole place.
Alli was the BEST shopper EVER! as usual. She has always been so good there. It was like this huge world of pretend for her going to work, folding clothes, riding escalators, running everywhere, and going in all the public bathrooms (gross I know, but she is obsessed with public bathrooms. at least she is going right?) The best is when we came out of a store and she started stretching. hehehe.
So I had a mountain of things to catch up on today. Laundry and cleaning and cooking. And one minor detail.
HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY DEREK!!
I knew that the house would be a mess all day, which is fine. But around these parts, people do random stop by's. Which is great for the friend factor, but not so great in the disaster zone I most often live in. Now here is my new trick!
I wore my apron all day! (don't mind the thing on the oven. it was lunch. and it was good) And what a cute apron it is. Then when that random stop shows up, and the kitchen is a mess, it's ok, I'm wearing an apron so I must be busy and hard at work. So you just put on a smelly candle and you're good to go for the day.
So the house is all clean now, cake is made, birthday supper is started, and we are on our way to having a backyard too! On our way, as in hopefully next summer we will be able to play in it.
Because this is what I look and see right now. that's weeds, not grass.
Wait, if my house is clean right now, I should hurray and go take pictures to put on here!
one more thing, i miss summer.

Good trick! But because you know it won't work if you stop by my house. I'll have to think up my own secret trick...
Good thinking! I'll be giving that one a try! You look amazing by the way! Oh! and do you know where has really good shopping....edmonton!
haha! You are so cute! What a great idea with the ultra cute apron thing. You kill me! I do love the red walls in your kitchen. And don't worry, my backyard is all rocks. Super. I guess it's ok though since I don't have kids....and I live in Vegas. We do "desert" landscaping here.
happy 30th!! i like your trick. yes, edmonton DOES have good shopping... like bath and body is now open at west ed. i think you and susie need to come up!!!!
I need to get a super stylish apron you can bet I'm gonna steal that. I didn't know your kids played together. Hope Derek had a great B-day, did you give him our gift, i hope he enjoys them. hehe
You do look very cute in your apron!! And I love your red kitchen.
I miss summer as well, I hope autumn lasts forever.
Hey,where's the pics you should have taken when your house was clean? I still want to see it. I think you should dirty up your cute apron a bit just with a little flour or something to make it a little more realistic. I hope your stop by are still 'random' and not regulars yet.
And Happy Birthday Derek.
I miss you! I am so happy we have the blogging world so I can keep up with ya!
I love the apron did you make it? I've been looking at a couple different styles to make...tough decision. I can't wait to see the house.....
