Musings And More From Mama Of Four

Oh wow that's quite the feeling, to first of all go meet with the architect, the one who is trying to get a reading on our life, the way WE do things and put it all together in a new house, something that will function around our lifestyle, a typical ?? Mennonite home? A house with 4 boys who r loud and full of energy, give them space and yet have a spot we can entertain and everybody can feel a small space of peace? And then to hand over the precious binder with the photos, ideas, floor plan i drew and say here it is go with it!!! oh the agony of the 3-4 week wait when he said it would be about 2...i finally get the nerve to email and just let them know my curiosity is nearly getting the best of me!!! A REPLY (could insert expl .) won't tho!! he said maybe he'd have something by Thurs .. YIPPEE !!!! well turned out to be the next Mon . i literally had to put it out of my mind so i could sleep...anyhow we got there and yes it looked awesome only to find out we were ...

Here we are its spring again and i am so enthused...besides i am now the proud aunt of a little niece Lauren Kate born on May 3...we have ONLY 9 boys in the family so you can imagine how excited we are!!! For Mothers day, well a few days after my youngest K. and I flew to Winnipeg and drove out to their house to see her and help care for them.. my mom came too. Was a fun time!! Other then when we got to Wpg . Weds. am at 9:20 there were no rental cars to be had so from now on book a car when u travel!!!! Came home to a moderately controlled environment , my boys informed the dishwasher knew how to grow mold.... umm should we start the thing? its not automatic u know!!! Oh well i think they did as good a job with keeping the house together as i do when we are all home...so long wknd i spent with the flu bug not impressed but anyhow we seem to be better, now if everyone else can stay healthy....

Can you believe it? we actually got rid of the renovator...i'm nearly in shock...now so much of the finishing touches are up to me, the trim painting has begun thanks to a dear friend who is going to relieve me of some of it....i got the staining of the backsplash wood done tonight now i need to put a clear coat on...my baby turns 5 tom. and this feeble old mom has no present for him...i said maybe he could shop with his dad on the weekend...he thot that was cool...
