Happy Halloween everyone!  The kids are so excitied about today. Alex had his Halloween party at Nursery School yesterday. He went as Superman. LOL  

Well the last couple of days were crazy. Last night I finally got out !!! Yah!! I went shopping for groceries and gifts for x-mas. I also picked up treats for halloween.  It was so nice to get out. Of course I brought Braden with me. I even went out to eat at a restraunt. It's been so long for me. My children were driving me bonkers!!

My brother went out blasting for the first time in his life!! He loved it so that was pretty cool. He got to help blow up a bunch of rocks. 187 holes to be exact. The boss said he was going to call him again in the summer.  He got to connect all the lines and put the dynamite in the holes and clip them all together. Than there is a 6 minute delay after it's safe than the boom. Like I said he was so excitied!!

 

Well Sam had court yesterday and baby will be in Big Candy's care for atleast 6 months now. So by that time baby will be 11 months old. So now she has no chance of getting her baby back sooner. She will have to prove alot more now.

 Sam has missed all her visits for the last week or so. I think it's going on 2.  If she does manage to make it down to a visit, she cuts it short by only spending 2-3 hours there instead of her 9-10 hours that she is allowed.  So now everyone is getting frustrated with her. I think she is losing interest in baby now too. She said when baby is one she will be easier to look after. So I am so lost. Big Candy is getting mad as she is not even trying to get her back.

I have 4 new baby fish in my tank. I didn't even notice if it wasn't for Morgan wanting to look at the fish. LOL.  All I have for now.

Yah!! My baby did a circle tonight while walking @ 8:00 pm. Aunty Nara was here to see it. She was just amazed.   I am so happy.  He's been taking more and more little steps and than falling down. So it's nice to see him doing it now. He made me cry also, happy tears anyways.  Wow after all the worrying that he wasn't going to than he did it.  And just a couple days ago he took 5-8 steps.

Well today I helped my daughter work on a badge for Guides.  She is working on a ''postal'' badge and a recycling badge. So I made her sort the recyclables. So that was nice watching somebody else do it, instead of me. LOL.

I bought some candles tonight so that is all good. An early b-day present for myself. So it should be here just in time. It was like $45. But I guess that is allowed. The are raspberry kind. MMMM it smells so awesome, good enough to eat!!!

All the Minti coasters are gone. So hopefully there will be more people joining. They went over really well.  One lady commented about how it would be so nice to get help when you need it, and to share idea's with other's. So that was really cool.

Well night folks!!!

Well everything is all good with my daughter at school. Which was pretty good news. The teacher had no complaints.  She just told me to read outloud to my daughter, keep encouraging her to read,  keep giving her questions on her math.  Which we are doing already. All her hard work is paying off!! So I am so proud of my baby gurl!!!

Steven is doing really well, he has a 95% average in his math, and 92 % in gym so far.  He loves math!!  So he also is doing very well. Yah!!!

So that's all I have for now!!

 

Finally they arrived!!  Just in time for our big meetings.  I have a  meetings tommorow and Thursday afternoons. So I am busy putting them into packages about the local Nursery School. So most the coasters will be going home to the parents.   Also I have to go the local Health care office too. So I will be posting the coasters on the bullintin board there with a big poster on my top 5 favorite websites, with Minti being in the #1 position.  So hopefully the Minti addiction will grow some more. Thanks Minti !!!!!  for helping me make my life a little easier!!!!

Now supposedly Rob is going to buy Sam an engagement ring and propose to her. NOOOOO!! If Sam gets engaged to him for sure she will not get her daughter back. I found that out  from Tony(Sam's dad)  He is not happy at all!! He hates Rob with a passion right now.  So I wonder what is going to happen now?!!! 

Well Big Candice had a meeting with Social Services today.  Sam has missed 2 visits with her baby. She was suppose to have visit yesterday with baby and her sis, her dad and do the shopping trip and have dad  make supper.  She was a no show. SO now Candice says that Arianna will be probally be in her care for atleast a year. She had till today to get all her 6 things done which she hasn't.

1. Go to Addictions Foundation Centre to see if she has a problem with drugs or booze or  at the very least set up an appointment (they gave her the # 's to call)  and write it done when, where, who she sees there etc
2. Phone 3 places to see about renting them  and set up an appointments to see them(they gave her the phone numbers and everything) again write down when, where, and try to find out all the info needed
3. Set up her parenting classes  they again gave her the numbers write the appointment down
4. Go see a doctor and get an appointment to see if she is eating properly, and get a physical, pap test done, write down the appoitment time
5. Keep her visits with Arianna and her worker
6. Bring all the sheets in to Social Services office to show she has atleast tried and made the appointments.

Well all that could be done at the maxium half an hour. If she really wanted to get on the right track in her life, and get her baby back. Really how hard is it to call these places make an appointment at the very least and write all the info you found out down. Put a check mark by each one that you have done. And at the very least call these places and leave a message. Than call the worker to let her know you have called these places and you are waiting for them to get back to you.

Pretty easy, I think. I could do all this and still keep an eye on my rugrats.

I am getting so angry at her. I think I am starting to resent her too. She is really peeing me off. Also Big Candy is getting angry at her cause when Candy got on her case about them she just said ''I will do them later'' and later never comes. So I don't know what else to do. She missed her visit as she was hanging out with Rob and Candy thinks they were drinking. So we now know who is more important to her!!!!!!!!

But I guess I am going to call Candy to try to help her on what to do, if I was in her postion. Later, and goodnight!!

 

My Grandma and Grandpa left today. AWW I didn't want them to leave so soon. It was so nice to see them, and for them to  see the grandkids. She has only seen Braden and the other kids  through pictures. All she could say was he is so big. Grandpa said that Brooke has long legs. LOL It was too funny. She was so short 2 summers ago.   So we had a good visit. They even brought another present for Braden, they gave him $50.  They other kids received a t-shirt and a treat. They gave Steven a cool hoodie and socks with a treat.  Grandpa said Steven has grown since they saw him in August.  They even got to see my new cousin Kenneth. My aunt  Bonnie and uncle Lawrence's  new son. He is only a month old now.

My Grandpa and Grandma even got to see my mom's finacce Tony and his biological grand daughter's Arianna and Morgan. Tony said it was really weird giving them a hug, and seeing them without my mom. Grandma can't believe that Tony is a grandpa now, not just Papa to my kids.

They should be arriving home around 5pm today. So I will wait for Grandma's call to say they arrived.

Grandma and Grandpa came in today. So we had a good visit. She brought me jam and home-made pickles. MMMMM... there are so good.  That's all I have for now.

Well I didn't find out much but Sam's neighbour was drunk and was just looking for a fight. Sam's hands are all cut up from trying to defend herself. So now she is supposedly all moved out of there as it's not safe there. People could get into her apartment.  So that's all I know for now.

Baby Arianna is doing well at aunty's house. She is rolling over and laughing out loud now. It is so cool to see her and know she is in safe hands now. Sam is doing better on her visits, but still hasn't done the AFM tests. Sooo.... I guess we will try to convince her to do it !

Sam got beat up lastnight! Some lady hit her with a shovel! Broke the door window and started grabbing her by her  hair. Sam didn't know where she was bleeding from so big Candy went up there to check things out. Big Candy went helped move some stuff out of her apartment.Sam  is back with that a** hole Rob again. There has been lots going on with her. Oh man! I am so stressed! But I need to calm down and try to get some sleep.

So hopefully I will find out more tommorrow!!!

Well the snow is starting fall now!! The kids are so happy over that. Braden looked in aw out the window and seeing all this fluffy white stuff fall from the sky. Alex wants to go outside, and Brooke wants to sliding after school.  lol.  Alex goes to Nursery School this afternoon. I have a meeting at 1pm.  We go sell  Girl Guide cookies tonight too. Too much to do for me!!

Well better go and get some laundry done while I can! Till later!!

Well Alex had a good day at school and made a pretty painted pumpkin picture. We sold 2 cases of Girl Guide cookies, $96 in total. So my feet are so and I still have the chills from outside. Man is it cold out there, The wind is just a howling away!!

Thank Heavens I made it thgough the weekend! My sister is on the bus back to her house. It was interesting having all the kids here. Everything was just go- go -go

. Man I am so beat from it all. I missed a nap or two. LOL. It was well worth it. It was so nice to see her, and spend some quality time with her. She is doing so well in high school. I felt so bad for saying good-bye as the bus left. It was heart-breaking that I can't deal with her living with me. It's too much on my heaped plate already. She is  at the age where her and her brother only get along for 1 hour intervals so far. 

She is sooo into boys right now it's not even funny. That's all I heard is '' there is a cute guy'' LOL wow to be young again!

We are having our turkey  supper tonight!  I can't wait!!!

Supper was great! We had perigoes, potatoes, turkey you name we had. LOL. It was so good. I looked like I was pregnant again, I was so full. hahaha.

I took all the kids and played at the park while the dishwasher was doing it's job. Brooke found $2.40 there. Than we went for a walk and came home. So our turkey day was all good.

45 minutes and my sister should be here. I can't wait.  At 10:00 am she will be on my doorstep, I will have 5 kids over the weekend. LOL This should be interesting,

Well my 3 yr is a little climber or Spiderman Alex. I bought a new dresser the other day. One that I have to put together. So of course there is strofoam in the box. Well I made sure I had all the pieces, etc  and than I got side tracked. So I  put the strofoam up on the old dresser and took  the box  downstairs for recycling.  So I locked the door to the bedroom on the way out. 

Well than my son decides to go play in the play room, which is fine by me. I am putting dishes away, loading up the dishwasher to start it up for a new load. Than I realize it was too quiet.  I couldn't hear him on the baby monitor. Where there is quietness in this house, there is something/ someone up to no good.

Well than I can hear Steven saying ''oh boy, are you going to be in trouble''. Well of course it is Alex. I said'' what is going on'' on my way up the stairs. Well all I see is styrofoam everywhere! Alex climbed up on the dresser and made it ''snow'' in his room, with the styrofoam pieces. LOL. Oh boy was it a mess. It is all over my son, all over  the floor.. it's everywhere  that you can imagine!!!

I didn't know whether to laugh or  to cry. It was a mess. Just the other day I put clean clean  bedding  on the bunk beds, vaccumed the floor, and I had laundry sorted on the bottom bunk.  So my advice is when you start a project, finish it!!

So I know he climbed on the top of the dresser to get the pieces of strofoam. I wonder how he got down? I need a video camera in there to catch Spiderman in action.

Well I haven't found out yet when my man leaves for work. He called his Business Agent, and still nothing.  I just hope we will know something soon.

Today is ''walk to school'' day. So I decided to take a group of kids and walk with them. It smelt so nice outside. Deb was mowing her  lawn. I love that smell.  It's getting a little chilly, winter is on it's way. I wonder if we will have snow by the time Halloween gets here? Tommorrow my sister will be here. yah I can't wait to see her!!

This morning when my little guy woke up, I went to grab him from his crib.  I snuck around the door to see if he was actually awake or ''talking;'' in his  sleep. Well to my surprise he had his button sleeper off. He looked so cute that I had to sneak back downstairs to grab the camera.  He than realized I was there when the light went off. He looked so shocked that I captured that moment. LOL

My little guy Alex woke up at 4:10 am with an ear infection. He was just crying and screaming his ear hurt. So off I go to get the meds and the hot waterbottle. Thank heavens I had amozicilian to give him. Poor guy. He wanted to sleep with mom. Than he settled down and went back to sleep.

Well I found out that my man will probally be going out of town to work     I really don't want him to go.  So we will also find where, when and for how long he goes tommorrow. That will leave me by myself  and all the kids. NO!!!

Also tommorrow is picture day for Steven and Alex. That's $90 gone right there. Alex has nursery school too. What a busy day. Well better run and get some well needed cuddles in!!!

Well, me and the boys went outside and tried  rake some leaves up. We put them in pumpkin bags for Halloween. But first Alex wanted to take the power wheels out and drive threw the piles. LOL  He had so much fun. So did I.  We only got 2 bags filled though. Next we will work on the smaller ghost bags. Alex buried Braden in the leaves. It looked so cute. Alex said he was ''leaf baby'' LOL   well gotta run and lay baby down for a nap, the fresh air did him some good or we just played him out.

Holy has a month flew by already!

Well I still can't get my scanner working properly. Getting a little mad at that. But oh well. I guess maybe it will be time for a new one.

Arianna moves into Big CAndice's tommorrow. I can't wait to see her. Sam has actually been seeing her regularly, so that's a bonus. She has court again. So we will see what happens than.

I haven't seen my little friend in awhile.  That's all I have for now!!
