I LOVE KIJIJI !

I really love it.

We sold our trailer asap on kijiji and also bought 2 desks.

We currently have 2 ponds for sale now.

So easy! - yup!  I did it all by myself.

It is also very addictive.

VERY!

My second born turned 6 this week - such a sweet big boy, who currently has a fever.  Poor guy.  At least he was well for his actual b-day and will be better before his school party.  I let him choose his guest list, and really tried to honour his choice.  I wanted to add a couple of girls, but he only wanted the boys.  I will respect that, tough though, as he really likes a couple girls.  He is such a joy!  I am really enjoying time spent with him.  I will miss that next year when he is in grade one all day.  Maybe that's why kids get home schooled.

Went to the meeting tonight for new neighbourhood school, to open fall 2010.

I am so EXCITED for this!

It will be so amazing.

Any doubts I had were gone in that meeting.

They also had some brainstorming sessions and we all got to give input.

HOORAY!

ah well,

this post is just a little of this, and a little of that!

Christ has Risen - Rejoice!

What a beautiful Easter weekend!

I really enjoyed it... and really "got it" this year.

We started off being at church Good Friday - which I explained to the kids is almost like a funeral for Jesus.  Then I started to view it that way... thinking about the poor Blessed Mother, and I had tears.  So overwhelming to think of what Jesus went through for us!  I was on the verge of tears all weekend!  

On Holy Saturday we blessed our baskets and my daughter and I went to confession.  Quite a feeling after really.  A person really should experience the peace and calm of this sacrament.

Today, on Easter Sunday, we attended mass.  Yes, the "bunny" came to our house in the night.  We really downplayed this though.  I know my son "got it" too as he called my MIL and FIL tonight to tell them he lost a tooth - YES HE LOST HIS FIRST TOOTH!!!! - and he told my MIL that, and I quote, "Christ has Risen! Let us rejoice!"  - likely as a reply to her saying Happy Easter!  Hooray!

Today was perfect!

I read quite a few blogs, often some belonging to Mormans,  and LD Saints.  I really admire their faith, and their confidence to share it with others.  To testify.  I love my catholic faith, and am proud to be catholic.  I vow to share this part of me with more people.  that's right strangers and friends!  No more gezhundheit (sp?) for you... a cheerful God Bless you coming right at ya!

And as if this weekend could not improve... DH did the goodwill bag for tomorrow!!!!  Love HIM!  xoxo

ladybug day

today the kids saw ladybugs...

SPRING!!!!

well, they saw spiders too, but I will focus on the ladybugs.

they also saw beetles - which ladybugs are - but not in their eyes I guess!

We have had a few uber busy weeks.  Nothing too exciting, and everyone is healthy and happy!

Husband and I were out of town together for 2 days with baby working... missed last Monday's goodwill bag, so today had to be double!  It is soooooo hard!  Until that garage warms up, I am just purging to fill the bag, so I needed to alter my rules.  I will count ANY large recycle/garbage bag leaving this house.  I donate a lot of the kids clothes to families we know, and my sister is expecting so baby stuff to her.  I gotta start counting this stuff... otherwise I'll be tempted to just goodwill it... and that's silly when someone I know could benefit also.  So there.  That's final.  I changed the rules!  Ha!  So today, two bags left to make up for last week.  One to my sister, one to goodwill.  Yippee!

This will be a busy week also getting ready for easter.  Spent part of spring break at the in laws, came back last night at 8 so house looks crazy messy!  It was really clean 2 weeks ago...  We did have a greta time though - mind you I ate way too much.

Tried to keep up with The Best Job in The World - Island Reef Job, but it was hard.  I barely spent time on ning.  I am surprised they bumped up the finalists from 11 to 16.  But I guess I change rules too - hehe.

I think Queensland Tourism has themselves in a very public pickle.

Whether they choose a foreigner or local, they will upset the opposite.

They simply cannot win.

I bet they hire both - change the rules again...

Why not!
