June Dance Recital Randoms

I am sorry for being so slack! Victoria had her dance recitals on the weekend. I am posting a couple cute ones of her in her Pocahontas costume. I will post more once I get organized...I just don't know when that will be lol!!

A Long Weekend...but in ALL the wrong ways!!

This was my weekend off...PLUS it is Victoria Day here in Canada, so that made it an extra long weekend. So what were my plans for this weekend?? What did I do with my 4 days off??

I looked after a sick 6 year old with the stomach flu!!! Poor little Victoria was super sick all weekend. Even today she sill isn't eating of acting like herself. This weekend has seemed to drag on forever. I feel bad because not much I do seems to be making her feel much better.

Was it a long weekend? OH YES but in ALL the WRONG ways!!

Victoria lost Another tooth!!!

When the bus stopped out at the end of the road today, I was greeted with a VERY happy 6 year old carrying a small film containter shaking it at me. Apparently just prior to getting on the bus she lost her tooth. Victoria's teacher was good enough to find an old 35 mm film container and put the tooth in that so she wouldn't loose it. Victoria told me she is super excited because this tooth is worth more. Later I would regret asking but I just had to know WHY exactly this tooth was worth "more".
Her response (and I quote)

"MOMMY EVERYONE KNOWS WHEN YOU LOOSE 5 TEETH IN A YEAR THE 5TH ONE GETS A BONUS!"


Who knew??? I will post pictures once I actually find where my camera went. I really need to clean this place....

Latin Phrase/Advice for the day

Adversus solem ne loquitor --> Don't speak against the sun


In other words don't waste time arguing the obvious. Enough said!!

I HATE Boxes!!!!!

The renovations in the office are scheduled to start tomorrow (Thursday) and the massive amount of boxes that were assembled the past two weeks are now being filled as fast as humanly possible. I must say I was blessed with a dream team last night. The girls I had working with me were nothing short of a miracle. We exceeded our goal by a lot and the team work was out of this world. Everyone worked together so well. The little assembly line we had going was far more efficient than I thought possible. The girls switched around as they needed to so that no one got injured and we took frequent breaks whenever they needed. I couldn't have asked for more and each and every one of them exceeded my expectations. A special thanks to Kim and Pauline who put in massive overtime to help me out. I really appreciate it and I owe you girls BIG TIME!!!!


To give you an idea what we are dealing with box wise here are a couple pictures of the 1300+ boxes we have hanging around.


Myself with several full boxes...this is only the very small tip of a rather massive iceberg!!!





More boxes...yes we ran out of room and were even shoving them into peoples offices!!
