Scentsy

Wyatt was a blueberry monster yesterday!  I gave him frozen berries for breakfast and then he had them again at our playgroup, so his fingers were stained purple for the day. 

Tonight I went to a Scentsy Party.  My nose was a tad overwhelmed by the end, but I did pick out a nice night light plug in for the bathroom upstairs (which I started painting today - I can't handle the white walls anymore!) 

Zzzzz

Wyatt and I were playing around on our bed today and he pretended to go to sleep.  It was so sweet, he wrapped himself up in my blanky waved goodbye to me and then layed down and started making snoring sounds.  It was so adorable! 

Catch Up

Missed a couple of days here...  I worked on Friday and Wyatt spent the afternoon with his Nanny, Pappa and Big Mamma.  We stayed there for supper and Ryan met us there after his tattoo consultation.  Wyatt watched some videos with Ron and Ryan and was just getting crazy excited about them, bouncing up and down on the couch.  Full of  "wows" and pointing. 
We got together with the Sampsons for supper on Saturday.  We made fried chicken and it was soooooo yummy!  I had been craving it for weeks.  And then Rhonda had down up a fondue.  For the first time in soooooo long Wyatt was so grumpy all he wanted was me and I had to stand up holding him at the end of the table so he could just watch everyone eat.  I tried sitting with him at the table and watching TV but he wanted none of that.  He was really overtired and once he got a bath and his bottle he was good to go once again!

Went into the big city of PA for groceries on Sunday and Wyatt fell asleep on the way in.  Plus once we got home he had a 3 1/2 hour nap.  He ate a HUGE supper too!  He was just a bottomless pit!

Tonight Wyatt has music pups, but beyond that my big goal for today is to change our sheets and vacuum...  Life as a stay at home mom is tough!

Baking with a toddler

Wyatt and I made cookies today.  He was up on a chair putting in flour and scooping the baking soda.  He gets way too excited about eating the dough! 
     Krista started her own blog today too called Happy Fortunes.

Where's the beef?

So I may have made the best roast of all time tonight.  I cooked it perfectly so it was beautifully pink and tender and delicious.  Here's the link to the recipe.

I know it might not be pretty but look at the color! Mmmmnnnn

Needles today :0(

     Wyatt got up nice and early this morning (before 7am) so we went into PA to do some running around and grocery shopping. While we were shopping Wyatt powered back 3 mini oranges so I had to go back for a second box.  We were back home by 10:40am!  After having a little visit with his buddy Gage, we came home and didn't nap. He had to go in and get his 18month needles.  He got 3 and didn't even cry until the very last one.  He got more upset about having to leave the toys behind in the nurses office.  I think he may have had a slight fever tonight from the shots because he got pretty grumpy.
     Oh yeah!!  I got new winter boots today!  Which has perfect because it was -33 before the windchill when we went out this morning.  I had to keep the heat up full just to keep the window from fogging up! 

Eating his first popsicle (yogurt), but he couldn't figure out the handle so I held it for him for the first bit.

Eating his favourite teeny tiny oranges yesterday.

One try to guess what he's doing!

Snack time at the Braaten's today after shopping.

Cars!

Yesterday Ryan decided to skip working on his sled and spend some much needed quality time with Wyatt.  His boss is on vacay right now so he's missed seeing Wyatt at all a couple days this past week.  When Wyatt woke up from his nap they had a Cars movie marathon.  Wyatt LOVED the racing parts!  All the loud engine sounds and different cars.  He kept pointing at the TV saying "Wow, woah". 

Loving Yoga

I have done yoga and/or pilates almost everyday this week, and I am loving it!!  The videos that I like to follow are Yogamazing.  He's super easy to follow and he isn't the wishy washy, one with the earth and praise my yoga master type.  I can already tell that I'm getting more flexible, and frankly I love wearing these spandex! :0)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENI!!!!!

Well Wyatt had a full afternoon of playing with his buddy Gage today.  They were born a week apart and get along really well (they don't hit each other to get at toys - very much).  Melissa (Gage's mom) and I made supper together as well.

Day 1

Here we go...  Welcome to my new blog, hopefully this will last longer than a week!  I'm just going to be keeping you guys updated with what's going on with my little family here in Saskatchewan. 
I just put Wyatt down for a nap and the thought of starting this blog is the only thing that kept me awake!
