I'm feeling heavy hearted

Tomorrow, March 26th, is my grama's birthday. This is the first one since her passing last june...
I miss her so much and wish she was still here to talk to, she was such a good person.

March Break catch-up!

Well, it's been march break this past week, and if there is one thing that i wanted to do, it was make sure the kids had a great time...get out there and explore and have fun! (and not spend too much money, cause i don't have it! lol)
Monday we decided to take a bit of a drive and check out the Butterfly Conservatory...they had BugFeast going on, where you got to sample food/drink that involved bugs being in it!? The girls tried out the ant and almond cookies(which were apparently awesome), and i tried out the Beetlejuice(which was lychee(etc etc) fruit juice which these monster beetles floating around in it(dead)...Mmmm! lol.
Before coming home we also had to check out Chuck E Cheese of course! we LOVE that place!!! :D
Tues was a daddy day, and they were off to Niagara Falls...
Wednesday they were back with me and we were off to Rondeau Provincial Park to check out the tundra swans....well they weren't there due to crappy weather(for some reason it was thunderstorming there until about 10 mins after we left and it was suddenly back to sunny again?!lol)....so then we drove over to the Aylmer Wildlife place and there they were...a TON of tundra swans! :D
Thurs was another daddy day...they did their piano lessons and then headed off to the sugar bush for pancakes and exploring...
and Friday they were back with me for just a boring day out and about...lol.
Today they were back with daddy again for bowling league and then some time with grama and grampa...and tonight we're going to celebrate their cousins 14th bday with some dinner at east side marios! YUMMMERS! :D

public service announcement #1

So this wasn't exactly what i had in mind for my first entry back on the blogging wagon, but it is something that i've had happen recently and it is still bothering me.
I realized the other day that i have become far too comfortable on the internet and forgotten about how the internet can be a dangerous place and you really shouldn't EVER let your guard down. I recently had someone start IM'ing me(and then Email me!) from the most innocent of places and well it kinda left me with a yucky taste in my mouth, and well from those who i talked to about it, well a really bad panic attack....I'm sure it was probably nothing and i'm sure it was innocent, but nonetheless there are weirdo's out there and we should be mindful of that. It also reminded me to once again talk to my daughters about the internet and why there are rules and how we should use it, etc...
*and i will step down off my soapbox now, thankyou*

And we're up and running!!

Ok, i need to blog. I can't live without my blog! lol. We're soooo back! :D
So, did you miss me??
