2010 - Day 23: Is There...

..an issue, Papa?? Love these commercials by Scotiabank so finally took the kids to get their own "Getting There Savings Account" with the free NHL savings tin!

2010 - Day 15: The Y

Our Friday nite at the Y! Family floor hockey. The kids both had a blast, even my girl who scored 7 goals!

2010 - Day 8: O Canada

Once again, our school's choir sang the National Anthem
at the Manitoba Moose game! They did a great job and sounded awesome!

2010 - Day 5: Going for Gold...

...and losing. This pic says it all!
It was another Epic Battle between Canada and the US to decide Gold in the World Junior Hockey Championship with Canada coming back to take it to overtime after a 2 goal deficit only to lose it in overtime! Great game, great tourney, way to go Canada!! Congratulations to the US!

Project 365 - Day 50: La Soiree!

*This* was the highlight of my day! The Chicago Blackhawks vs The Calgary Flames. It started at 8:30 so the kids were in bed and I was able to enjoy every single moment of hard hitting action, gritty hockey, nice passes and sweet goals!! This is the best first round series so far (IMHO) and I can't wait until Game 4 on Wed night! The only bad thing about this series is that one team is going to be eliminated and I hate to cheer against a Canadian team but I gotta cheer for my hometown boy! Go Johnny!

Project 365 - Day 46: And so it starts...

..the road to Lord Stanley's Cup! Hold all our calls until June and may the best team win (both in our hockey pool and in the real thing!)

Project 365 - Day 41: Could It Be...

...spring at last? This picture is a good sign its on the way. Bicycles, scooters, and kids races in the driveway...oh and scaped chins when falling off bikes! Riding through snow is never a good idea but that's what Tana did. She cried, she bled and she'll be bruised.

But what an afternoon it was. A speed stacks competition (which had some minor issues), boys playing hockey with the help of Mommy (me), cupcakes, some DS playing and laughter and good times with friends. May there be many more times like this this upcoming year!

Project 365 - Day 38: Couch Potatoes!

Here's how our time was spent before the kids went to bed. They'd had friends over and were busy playing but when they left, we chilled out and watched the end of the Habs game (they lost 3-1), did some reading, and headed off to bed. The kids, not us.

Eye Update: Its not infected but there is a "stye" on the inside of the lower lid pressing on the eye and causing the discomfort. I have drops and towelettes which will hopefully take care of the problem and if not, off to my specialist I go!

Project 365 - Day 35: An Age Old Rivalry

Between driving my kids around (they have busier social lives than I do) and cleaning bathrooms (I almost posted a picture of my nice clean sink), today was a crazy day! But...

Its the Saturday Night Classic on HNIC (minus the anthem but we won't go into that) and its been going on for years before I was even born but now in our house, we have opposing sides as you can tell by the jersey's. A heated hockey rivalry turns into a good natured bet in our house. Les Habitants won this one, 6-2.

Project 365 - Day 34: O Canada

Tonight, the choir from my daughter's school, Dr. D.W. Penner, was going to be singing the National Anthem at the Manitoba Moose game and sure, its not Carnegie Hall or anything but what a thrill! They were awesome and I think everybody in our little group had a good time. Its a good thing we were all together because otherwise we would have annoyed a lot of people (my apologies to anybody we might have annoyed).

And this isn't the best picture but its the best I could get with my camera. Tana is third from the left in the front row (as you're facing them)

Oh yeah...the Moose lost the game 2-1. Sort of forgot about that part!

Project 365 - Day 21: 6 Kinds of Chili...oh my tummy!

So tonight was the MBGA Annual Meeting combined with a chili and cookie bakeoff! There were 6 different kinds of chili to taste as well as a variety of other foods to eat. Among the beverages I saw the container of tums that someone had the forethought to bring! Thanks to Jaypeg for contributing to my picture of the day! A good time at another MBGA event, as always!

Project 365 - Day 17: Mildly Obsessed

The picture says it all. My obsessed son!

Project 365 - Day 4: Hockey

My son is 5 and is obsessed with two things: hockey as in playing with his Dad in the hallway and 2K9 on the Wii. If he's not playing 2K9 he wants to be playing hockey and if he's not playing hockey, he wants to be playing 2K9. So while yesterday's picture centered on my daughter and her love of reading, I thought it only fitting that today's picture was about my son's love too. His sister took this shot and I thought it was better than the one I had.
