Day Two was a success!

This diet is hard to stick to but so far so good.  I went for my gift massage tonight and was a bit leary but it was good.  The massage girl turned out to be one of the girls that worked at the Curves I went to so we caught up during the massage.  It was pretty relaxing I must say, I think I may do it again sometime, I think it was easier to be groped by someone that I knew rather than a stranger.

Aaron and Joey went to the Calgary Tower today to check that out and see the dinosaur display.  Tomorrow all the boys are off to the zoo to see the animals. I've planned a  playdate with Connor and Elliot so it may turn out to be a quiet day still, one of the boys was diagnosed with Fifth's disease today also known as Slapped Cheek Disease because it's typically characterized by rosy red cheeks so he's off until Monday.  Makes for a quiet work week for me!

It's been a very productive Monday

Today is Day One of 'the diet' and I have not cheated yet. Yeah for me! I've gone through a couple rolls of toilet paper I'm sure, good thing I buy the quality TP!
Taxes are done for another year! Hallelujah! Can you hear me singing at the top of my lungs? Brand new front loading washer, here I come...

Does anyone still own a crimper I could borrow?

Now why would I want to do that to myself you may be wondering...or those who know me may not actually be all that surprised by the request.
Well, I've planned my Candles & Cocktails party (partylite party) for April 13th and have decided on an 80s theme. I don't expect all the guests to dress up but I thought maybe I would, after all, I'm the hostess with the mostest! Aaron and the boys are all feeling kind of under the weather so last night I did my research online and have come up with the games and I've got lots of 80s CDs. So there you go, I think I'll probably have to make a trip down to the Value Village boutique and see if they've got one kicking about, I'm sure they probably will, after all that's where mine ended up...
And we're going to give the good ole bean soup diet another go around and see what happens...Joseph and I are starting swimming classes together on Sunday and I'm sure it couldn't hurt to lose a bit more beforehand although I tried on last years swimsuit and it fits pretty good.
We ended up going out for dinner with Auntie Kathryn and maybe soon to be Uncle Jeff Friday night, we went to Jack Astor's and then we seen Inside Man. It was a pretty good night! The boys had a good night with their grandparents too.
Hope you all had a great weekend!
So, what exactly are 80s fashion trends? Is this the era of legwarmers, fishnets, neon colours...what am I getting into? I'm sure it'll be worth a little bit of humility! I'm a MacAulay though, I love being the center of attention just like my Dad, yes you Dad!

First attempt at Video

I'm not too sure what the video is, I'm thinking it's the boys dancing to Crazy Frog.The boys don't exactly dance it's more of drag each other or chase other in a circle in my living room. Although they're getting better at the Madonna dance for the new 80s style dance video with the ABBA bit, I can't think of the title off the top of my head.

Happy Birthday Aaron!

Now here's a guy who likes to have fun!

Aaron, Joseph and Alex on summer holidays last year

Happy Birthday Aaron!  We're planning on going out for dinner tonight without the boys and maybe even catch a movie.  Eventually we will go to the two step classes! Aaron's not that lucky to get out of it, his wife is challenged when it comes to country music so you can imagine the dancing won't be that pretty.

As if my life wasn't busy enough...

I had to join the dayhome registry. It's official, I've been sucked in! So, from Monday - Friday from 10 to 2 I can be found taking care of 6-7 active children and managing phone calls to parents/dayhome providers to help make matches. Aaron's thrilled, not! The two girls that were doing it are both giving up their dayhomes, they've been at it for 13 years and have volunteered to do the registry for the past 10 years so I offered to help out Donna, she'd be like the president of our club, if we had a 'president'. She's got a few changes planned, like bi-annual meetings changing to monthly meetings...good luck! We had 14 out of 240 people show up last night. When I hosted last March I had about 20 ladies, I suppose you don't really want 100 people to show up though, it would be less than standing room only! I guess we'll just wait and see what happens, Aaron suggested that we meet at our Community Hall or the one in Mackenzie Lake. But because the registry is free for all members/people who phone, who's going to pay for hall rental? So much to think about!

Guess who?

So Monica which one of your girls looked like you at six months?...There's more pictures to come but we'll try and skip the ones with the headband...no guarantees though. LOL!
