Me and My Family

[see all me and my family]
only 1/2 hour old
only 1/2 hour old

Hi there, I am Australian, my husband and step daughter are French Canadian, and my son is French Canadian/Australian.

I came to Canada just to visit for a few months and have now been here 8 years. It's a bit cold in the winter time but I love it. Sure I miss Australia. But nothing can compare to what I have here which is my husband and two kids. Okay so Camille (my 11 year old step daughter) is not really mine but she treats me with the same respect as she would either of her parents and we have become great friends. My son Francis (named after his great grandfather) 2 years old and is growing to fast for my liking but I can't slow him down :)

My Husband is a General contractor, I am currently a stay at home mum, well I say stay at home, I work two days a week at my sons day care, and on occasions I often get called in for a few extra days here and there. I don't call it work because I am with kids all day and it allows me to stay at home and spend time with my son. He is at day care three days a week, but on Fridays he is there alone. And of course any day I get called in to work, I take him with me and the boss won't complain. Camille (Said Cammy) is starting Grade 6 this year and Francis, well he is just running all over the place pulling stuff from shelves making a mess, and appears to be loving life, so we must be doing something right.

We have a dog called Murry, ok it is supposed to be Murray, but some people here have trouble with the ray on the ...

FOTO FRIDAY....

Comment Published at 19:5919:5912 comments12 comments17 Visits17 VisitsReport

Two of these photos were taken the night my mother in-law got her award... I love this one of me and hubby because it is the only one that has ever been taken with our heads together where you can't see the flab of my arms... :) The other is of me and my mother in-law. And the last is Francis just before he had his tonsils out... Poor little fellow.. But I do think Yellow suits him...

One more sleep...

Comment Published at 18:2018:209 comments9 comments20 Visits20 VisitsReport

And I meet Janice and Marg...

I actually got to speak to Marg tonight which was fantastic... I thought it was her daughter at first, she sounded younger them me... :)

Anyway I still have to pack, check the oil and what knots before I leave... But most of it is done.  Fridge is full, clothes are all nice and clean so they won't have to look for anything...

They just have to keep an eye on the poor dog who had the family channel canceled today. So he is feeling a little sorry for himself.. Poor guy has to stay inside for 10 days and is only allowed out to do his business... But I am sure 10 days will past by real fast..

Anyway just thought I'd pop in to say.....

ONE MORE SLEEP.

Went to dinner...

Comment Published at 20:0420:042 comments2 comments10 Visits10 VisitsReport

Well last night I had a blast. I went out to dinner with my FIL.. Just me and he.   We were talking together on Saturday night an early mothers day celebration.  And some one said something (can't remember) and I said well Diane (hubby's step mum) and Hubby always go to dinner alone so why don't we.   He said "great what are you doing on Tuesday night."    Hubby was working so I asked my sister in-law to baby sit for me, and Hubby picked him when he got home from work.

I missed my chance to go to my most favorite of restaurants, and we chose Thai as both Diane and my hubby don't like Thai.  The food was amazing.  Also I found out heaps of stuff about my In-laws that I had no idea about before and I have been married to my husband for 8 years in August.  Interesting stuff too.  Just stuff that they have had their hands in over the years.

My mother in-law was actually given an award last Saturday for work she had done over the past 10 years getting part of the island of Montreal developed and getting some money in their direction.   Which is something I had no Idea she did until we were invited to watch her get the award.   The stuff my in-laws have done is just amazing to me anyway.  They just have not seemed to stop over the years. I wonder how they fit it all in.   Anyway, it was a wonderful night with my FIL to hear how proud he is of my husband and how happy he is for us.

Then after I got to go back to his place and sit with my MIL and have a wonderful chat with them both. They are wonderful people and it is hard to get some one on one time with them. So I stayed a bit longer then I should have but it was a lot of fun..

Anyway that is all I have to report other then two more sleeps and I get to meet Janice and Marg.. YIPPPEEEEEE

My mothers day...

Comment Published at 19:5319:534 comments4 comments19 Visits19 VisitsReport

Saturday night we went to my hubby's step mums to celebrate.. That was interesting. Had a wonderful time but we had some family issues being dealt with as well..  So it was while fun it was sad too...  On the bright side of things, my son was totally looked after by the hubby and his little cousins so I did not have to chasing him around the house.  I got to sit and relax which was just fantastic... And I thought great.. He had been running around with the kids, and did not fall asleep until about five minutes before we arrived home which was just before midnight.  So yippee me thinks he will sleep in later then usual.   And he did.. He slept until 8am. But the dog forgot that it was mothers day and woke me up at 6am...  

Hubby woke up at 11am, and went for a motor bike ride.. I said he could.  I went shopping for lamb for dinner and could not find any... I wanted a leg of lamb as Pat was going to cook it. But as I could not find any I ended up having to cook dinner.. Long story but hubby only cooks by recipe and he had no back up plan... So I figure well maybe he'll do the dishes.. Nope... So they sat there until the dog woke me up at 6am...

I don't know what happened but I cleaned the kitchen, took the dog for a walk.. And when I say clean the kitchen I mean spotless. It was so clean and smelled of pinesol when the hubby woke up this morning he wondered where he was. :)

Happy to say it lasted like that all day.. :) won't have to clean much in the morning.. I wonder if I'll get the chance to walk the dog again.. Depends on Francis.. For some reason he did not wake up until 7.30am this morning.. Hmmmm  heres a hoping... :)
