Aussies First Skating Adventure !
On Sunday Austins preschool went to the Mariners Center for Austins First Skating Adventure .. We were surprised and Very happy to see nanan when we arrived .. Austin had a great time , so did Sue and Tim ! Here are some pics !
What a day
What a day ... The last few havent been feeling too well , today when i woke up I felt like i had been run over by a bus , i couldnt talk a had a fever . Needless to say I spent my day in bed , until about 6:00 .. When i decided to have a look at a picture that Aussiesnan and I were talking about on Wednesday . Aussiesnan this is the picture that we were talking about with the orb blew up ... Look closley and let me know what you see
His first day
His First day of school .. Here he is Austins first day of school . Outside waiting to go in and then again when we are leaving ... He had a blast , he mad some new friends , sang a song , had snacks ( which i cant get him to tell me what snacks or what song )
He didnt even cry when he was dropped off .. My little boy is growing up . the best part is when i got home from work he had a pretty " red " christmas tree colored for me . The prize of the fridge .. He is excited for next week already
The next 2 pictures are 2 pictures from the birthday party saturday .. i finally got them from the camera and the last 2 are sneek peaks of the pictures that we had taken on Saturday ...
Today we went to walmart to go fish shopping for the fish tank that he got for his birthday ,, he was all excited and picked out the polka dotted fish that he wanted when we seen the sign .. All fish quaranteed until saturday .. Oh no ... So we hoped that the pet store would be open and have polkadotted fish ... They were open and did have polkadotted fiosh just not the same ones .. So we got a alge eater ( Al ) a white and orange gold fish ( spot ) and a black goldfish ( blackie ) .. Austin is all happy and in there on his stool watching them now !
Tomorrow is december 1st and starts the endless weekends of christmas parties .. december is a busy month ! Time to go wrap presents for secret santa tomorrow night !!
My breakdown
Yesterday was an exausting day so after Austin was in bed , I thought time for bed .. Well in bed I got to thinking .. How time went by .. How 3 years ago austin was a baby and we just held him for the first time , How he starts preschool next week ... And on and on .. Which led me to my breakdown .. Now since this is the first time I have ever been a mother I dont know if i am crazy ... OR if this is normal .. But i think i cried for hours on how austin was growing up .. and reminising , and thinking ahead and what ifs ....
Please tell me i am not crazy !!!
PIctures to follow...
Im back !! I am going to start by saying pictures to follow because my camera went to work this morning in Tims pocket ..... WOW Aussies birthday yesterday .... We went to the bowling alley ... Try organised bowling with 6 kids ... NOt going to happen , The more balls they can throw down the gutter the better it seams .. Chaos !!! But they all had fun ... Then came cake time ... Which i have to admit my first birthday party that I planned .... Well the kids might not have noticed but I did .... I flopped it !!!! I forgot forks .... I forgot a candle for the cake ( i know , i know ) AND I forgot to give them their treat bags before they left !!! I know what a mother ... Tim said " no body noticed """ I am sure that someone noticed .. Just sure of it .. Anyways the treat bags are in a bag with an appology note with their names on them for barb to hand out ( on their way home of course ) ~ Heres where I have to give a round of applause to Barb .. I have no idea how she looks after all those kids AND does not have chaos in her house !!! ~ And Austin has another cake today with the fam so he will get candles then ....
Next year I will be making a list and checking it twice !!
After the party Austin , Tim , and I went to get our pictures taken ... Austin would not look at the lady .. he sat in the chair and smiled .. Back to her !LOL it was cute .. She laughed ... Then with the promise that she would play hide and seek with him he posed , and posed and posed ... Then Tim and i got a picture taken ... Then since Uncle Shawn was with we got our picture taken too - No one knows this we are going to surprise mom with it , so Shhhh !!!
After that we went to the parade , which Austin did not like at all.. Him and Tim ended up watching it from the van as Austin did not like the noise from the sirens ...
5 min into our drive home Austin was asleep .. and he went to bed .. long busy day for my birthday boy ....
Thanks to everyone for the nice gifts .. And to nana and Papa for being at the party !!
Nice Surprise
Well i dont have too much to say today other than when i was picking up Aussie today I got a phone call from my dad . He was in Hebron at the Old Mill - He sometimes has to come work up here - he had stopped for supper and was on his way home . So Aussie , Seretha ( my friend ) and I took off to the old mill and there he was !! Even though it was only a 1/2 hour vist it was a really nice surprise - and made my day .. Dad ate supper - Austin ate his ketchup !!! And then he went back to Bridgewater and we went home .
It came at a perfect time , I was just saying last night how much I missed him :)
This is a pic of dad in 2004 :-)
Thats all for today :):)
And ... You Guessed It .. More Pics !
OK so i do have a story ! last week Austin pulled a piece of wallpaper in the hallway - and it turned into the mess that you will see below . Because the hallway is close to the dining room we decided to do that too - not thinking that less than a week after we started the mess we had people coming to the house for a house warming party - needless to say we did not get it finished before the party which was last night ( i will post info and pics in hopefull tomorrow nights blog :-)) but we did get the mess cleaned ! This pic was of tim after he finished sanding !
This is the dining room Friday night !
This is how the mess started - as you see here we have Austin working hard !! He is having a ball! - Hopefully he doesnt try this at anyone elses house though that doesnt want to renovate - we did have that talk !
Again not a good pic but aussie hard at work !
And to end the pictures for now - hes grown up so fast that hes driving a car - Aussie and the big red car . This car was my brothers when he was Austins age its a pedal car that is at my grandmothers , st first he didnt like it but as you see now its growing on him ...
I just have one more thing for the blog ...... I mentioned it in the comments in Sues blog ,,, Austin is joining Petits Copains preschool in Nov when he turns 3 and I am the sec on the exec board of directors . We are having a bake sale at the Wedgeport Fire Dept this Sat the 30th from 2-4 - come one come all !!! I am also selling left over cookbooks from last year for those of you who like to cook - of like to collect cook books or knows someone who does $11.00 - let me know if anyone wants one !! Send me an email msaulnier@ ........ the place I work !!! No I am not giving my email on a public blog !!!

Yes , I am still alive !
I know all of you bloggers out there have been wondering if I was still alive - what happened , has my blog been shut down ... etc . What happened is life ! Busy Busy Busy . It seams like the last few months have been so hectic , but things are winding down . Between being co pres of the social commitee for work now being Secretary of the exec board of directors and , fundraising for aussies preschool that he will be starting in Nov ( :( hes growing up ) - there is always something to do .! Keeps life intesresting though ! Anyways I have so much to say that I dont know where to start - so i am going to leave it at this and post some picks ! - Ill try not to be so long before I post again !
Finally ...
Finally , the pictures are up !. PIctures are from last weeks camping trip .. as you can tell Aussie had a blast . Well we all did . We spent the week at Lahave River Campground , which is about 15 min outside of Bridgewater. We rented a " slumber Hut " and it is just what it is called a hut . Its about 10*12 and has a bed and power .. Thats it , outside there is a tap . It is so nice though . The campground was so quiet . They have mini golf , candle pin outdoor bowling , horseshoes, river swimming . Its great . And the best part is it is close enough that we could visit family . As you see Austin had fun with ShayLynn . She is my best friend Terrianns little girl . She is only about 7 months younger than Austin . We went to see her on the first day and every day after that it was " I want to go see ShayLynn" . We did have little play dates almost every day . One day we took them to a childrens fair there was crafts and games for kids - it was great . We went to the beach , visited my dad , went for a lot of walks , Austin went fishing once - which he loved . It was all and all a great week . Austin also had a sleep over Saturday night at " Nanny Beans " house . Tims grandmother we say Nanny B Austin Says Nanny Beans !! He had fun there !. All in all it was a busy but great week! ... Can't wait until next vacation !!!!
Introducing .. The next Tiger Woods !
Pictures !
