All in all it turned into a very nice chat with Gr. Dot and I do hope that as time goes by it will only be better between her and I when I comes to this topic.

So hear I am today cleaning up the mess downstairs (includes sink covered in paint and all painting stuff still covered in paint as well.....like really? still covered in paint! NICE) that Kevin has left for me to deal with when it is oh so nice outside.....

annoyed
Kayne and Kevin moved his bed, lamp, stereo and clothes down last night so that he could sleep in his new room as Kevin leaves today to head back to AB.
Kayne was so happy to get to sleep in his new room last night... when I went down to help him set his stereo clock it was soo freaking cold down there that I actually hoped under his blankets while I helped him hehe. I hope he doesn't freeze while he sleeps. When I left his room and he was all tucked in an laying there all happy happy... he asked if I was going to turn off the light that is just outside his door? Like with the uhm mom your not going to turn off that light yet right? Very cute, so I left it on until I went to bed and I do think will pick up a night light of some sort today so that I don't have to leave on said light all the time as it isn't just on light on that switch it's two. I will also measure for his window covering today since he is at ground level now I really don't like the idea of just anyone looking in the window at him when he's sleeping or whatever.
So all in all the room is done and the boy is happy happy!
I'll take some pics today sionce it sunny out.

Well here it is the big announcement that I have been absolutely dying to spill!.....
But I just couldn't do it here until I told all of my girlfriends at knitting group tonight :)
I still need to tell my spinning group and my ladies groups and won't be able to until next Tuesday and Wednesday respectively now....
So here it is after holding it in for close to two weeks....
We are pregnant! Yes you read that right :) we are, we are, we are!
After a little bit of trying (like one cycle) and vola! WE did it :)
My EDD is Sept 25... so that puts me at 6 weeks tomorrow.
Kevin asked me to wait to spread the news until he came home from AB so after picking him Monday afternoon and then the kids from school... I went straight over to my Pa's place and told him and the kids together.... You might say that I had a different way of telling them I told them that I had come down with a condition over the last month that was causing me to pee a lot but that it should clear up in 8 months or so.... and my dad right away got it... he was all your pg?! That's really good Billie was all I new it!and Kayne well he was all no way! that's cool :) I told Pa that this was is very much intentional...and that we are happy... he was happy too!
So we get home and Billie gets on the PC (with permission might I add) and immediately changes her MSN status to "mothers pregnant" I ask to to be a bit more polite about it... as she typically calls me mother but I don't care for it.. and well it was sounding a little on the cold side... so she made it a bit nicer and I get to thinking well she's on the phone right now with my step-sisters daughter and OMG what if she tells her mom and then she calls our parents! F*** so on the phone I get and I NEVER call the parents at night only in the am... so I do some basic chit chat with my mom and then ask if Marshall (my step-dad) was home and and ask if he could also get on the phone so that I could say hi to him but for mom to just stay on the line because it would only be a second.. so again with the mindless chit chat and a bit of can you hear me oh I couldn't hear you just to make sure that they could both hear me... and then I give them the same line as I gave my Pa and the kids... and my mom is all "OH GREAT!" totally doesn't get it and thinks that I have some illness now or something of the like and Marshall right away gets it and say "are you pg?" all excited and happy sounding... and then mom finally clues in ... boy oh boy did that ever give us a laugh... they were both very happy for us and mom perked up a bit after realizing that I wasn't actually just calling for idle chit chat :)
So the long of the short of it is
We are pregnant... I had my first midwife appointment today and it went well ... I have already got a decent amount of stuff lined up or in the works for hen I will need it... Kevin and the kids immediately went through the name book and Billie got on the PC and was looking at names , so they already have a boy and girl list.... I have 8 months approx to go and have already done more in the first couple of days of sharing the news than we did a month before the kids were even due..... this is good
Now for a smooth pregnancy and delivery :)
I have tried and tried to get the pregnancy ticker to load to this page but I just can't... oh well....
I do have it on my main profile page if you want to check it out... it's pretty neat :)
eta : So weird I did actually post this last night... but for whatever reason it just wouldn't show up on the main friends page, it did however show up on my main page???? but cmon I wanted it to be seen.... ;)

Anything of my choice, for you.
This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:
- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
- What I create will be just for you.
- It will be done this year.
- You will have no clue or say in what it's going to be.
- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.
The catch?
Oh, the catch is that you have to put this in

All in all we all had a great time and I was very happy to see the women from my spinning group and they also seemed happy to see me. I felt very privileged to have been invited to this gathering of spinners.
The day spent with Gramma Betty was such a treat I do hope that we can do it again soon.
I will take pics of my fibers tomorrow and add them to this post then.

My Namaste Zuma came this morning! WOW! that IS some fast shipping I placed the order on Friday the 9th in afternoon
and the shop keep told me that it wouldn't go out until Tuesday as they don't ship on Mondays. So here it is first thing on my doorstep Wednesday the 14th! I was very surprised as I really didn't think it would be here this quick at all.
This bag feels so oh so very nice and wonderful... it is a faux leather, but unless one was aware of this they wouldn't guess.....
The size is great and it has some interior pockets and a front zippered pocket with accordion type pockets.
It fits on my shoulder beautifully and has a great magnet closure... I am so ready for a new bag and one that will not only act as a purse but will also carry my knitting projects comfortably.....
*sigh*
Of course I have taken pics..... and the color is very true in all of the pics :)
The front
Zippered pocket in front with accordion type pockets inside
The back

Oh Snap! set mesh pockets with snap closures.
Well I'm off to swap my purses out!
Love, love, love my Namaste Zuma & Oh Snap!
Oh, Oh, Oh.... I almost forgot! I ordered this all from the Beehive Wool Shop www.beehivewoolshop.com/ out of Victoria BC and they packaged it up so nicely and they didn't even charge me shipping on top of the great phone service and fast shipping!

Kevin was home, mom and Marshall were able to come over for an afternoon visit and presents Pa came by for the afternoon, presents, turkey dinner and dessert.
We all enjoyed ourselves very much so... well I did somewhat.
Not that I want to be an ungrateful recipient but really come one Kevin went out on Christmas eve to get me a or some gifts.. I don't really know what his plan was. Then again I don't think he new either.In the end on Christmas morning I was rightfully disappointed in his efforts.. honestly I didn't want to be and tried really hard to not but but come one he went out and bout me some gym type clothes from Superstore (might I add that they were on clearance) he gt me a top, pants and a warm up coat... all very nice except for one thing they were all XL's I'm telling you he is clueless when it comes to sizing as well maybe before I was that size but really I haven't been anywhere near that size for a couple of years now. He also went to Mark's Work Wearhouse and got me a very nice blouse in an XL and a very nice knit type zip up hoodie also an XL I quite liked both of these things but when I went to exchange them for my size they just didn't have them in stock anymore. Needless to say I ended up getting full refunds from both stores and being cranky for the rest of the day. Kevin did on the other hand take the kids to get me this great organizing bag for scrap booking or crafting of sorts, I outright told him that I wanted one so he followed through with the kids. Now if the roles had have been reversed and I was buying him some kind of bag to hold 101 themed items I would have purchase or at least gotten a gift cert for said items from said store... nope Nada not a thing in the bag. Yes I really like the bag but was truly surprised when I looked through the bag and realized that he hadn't put anything into it. I still have the bag and will keep the bag for my scrap booking and various crafting tools.
I hadn't even considered what I would then get to replace all of the returned items when this morning I was checking my Ravelry page and Brenda had made a blog post brenda.typepad.com/close_to_my_heart/200
The Zuma bag in Lime! I just love the coloring and the way the bag looks like it will work beautifully for what I have in mind. Have a look at the link www.namasteneedles.com/products/handbags/h
All in all I have a happy ending to my Christmas gift fiasco, as the total was approx the same as what I had returned.
Yay for doing your own shopping.

Kayne had his extra Gymnastics class last night. It went very well and he would like to move over to this class asap. The only thing that he said against the class is that the other kids are annoying... this might really start to get to him but well just have to see how it goes. The other kids ages range from 6-11 I believe, the six yo was so teeny tiny beside Kayne it was a bit amusing when they were doing these jumping exercises, especially when the things that they were jumping over was higher than the little guys waist. Um no he didn't make any of those jumps, they were so tall that the last one Kayne didn't even clear. But one thing is said for the little kids they are pretty flexible in ways that Kayne isn't, but then Kayne has his own flexibility that is unique to him weather or not it will be beneficial to his gymnastics or not I don't know.
All in all he had a great time and wants to keep going to that class and stop going to the regular recreational class. In February the classes will go from being one day a week at 3hrs to two days a week a 3 hrs each Kayne is stoked! He also feels that it won't be a problem with his Hip Hop class that is also on Tuesdays approx 30 min's after the gym class. Although the coach did say that Kayne could head out early in order to have a little bit of a break and some food before his dance class... this is good.
The coach seems to have a pretty clear vision of what he wants to do with the boys. This I appreciate very much. In the end he would like to see these boys helping coach at the club as quite a lot of the older girls are doing, but no boys really as they haven't had this kind of program offered before for the boys, just for the girls.
So for know we have a boy that is looking very much so forward to being challenged in his gymnastics class and being able to use the skills and strengths that he acquires in gym in his dance class as well.

With Dean getting all of the walls mudding completed and today we are getting the ceiling up!!!
It actually is starting to feel like a real room now , especially with out being able to see the floor joists and all of the insulation that we put up for sound proofing between the two rooms (up down that is).
We will soon have the girl up and the boy down. Who knows how that will go but we have pout in a lot of extra insulation to help deaden the noise that they produce in efforts to annoy each other.
Soon, soon, soon!!!!!

Kayne's wanna-be bedroom has been coming along very well over the last two or so weeks. It has been really good ever since we got going on the bathroom and whilest Dean was working on the bathroom I took the time to empty out the wanna be bedroom. This is a different kinda room as it is L shaped. Measuring this room for flooring is fun... or not.
The entire length of the room is 16' 3", you would think that was a good measurement but uhm no not when it's combined with the top part of the L it just makes for a difficult room as the top part of the room is only 5'9" across.
( a diagram of said L shaped room )

Good Night all!

for real I'm going to bed.
gnight ;)
