Stasia's Party Has Started!!!!!!!!!

Well it has officially started. I now have a bunch a girls giggling in the basment. Update to come.........

The Big Count Down!

Stasia's birthday is almost here. May first is the big day. She is counting down the days, she is very excited about her party. She has decided that she is going to have an 80's party. Like that was such a long time ago...well to her, it seems to be. OH, I even found leg warmers for her to were on the big day! She found an older picture of Madonna, and put it on the front of her cards then printed them off the computer. I think that I have almost completed the many lists that she has put me in charge of . Today Stasia and I went to the good old dollar store and purchased items for her goodie bags. Jeesh things add up quickly! She wants two cakes. One to eat and one to put her face in. She has so many weird ideas sometimes. OH well, you are only young once. She is having six friends sleep over....it will be a long night. I will let you know how it goes.
Take care.

Happy Monday!

We are back, and Stasia did very good! She competed in Kata with 16 other girls and came in 5th place. She also competed in Kumete (which is fighting) and she got a bronze metal! There were 15 girls in that category. So, I am so proud of her!

Yard work

Firstly I hope that everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend. We did. Stasia hunted for eggies and the bunny pulled through for her again this year. Spoiled as usual.
So my post title is yard work. Well, Stasia and I did so much work this weekend. We took two loads to the dump and we raked and swept and cleaned and we fertilized the lawn, there was no stopping us. The yard looked so beautiful when we were done. I even put a fresh table cloth on the outside table and put flowers in a pot on top. What a job. The next day, it was so windy here that all our work disappeared! Tree branches and tumbleweeds and leaves all over the lawn. the table cloth was dirty the pot blew off...it was horrible even my Christmas lights came unattached from the house. Now we have another weekend of cleaning the yard! Oh well, that's how it goes.
We will not be doing any work in the yard this weekend though. Finally the provincials are here. Stasia and I are getting onto the greyhound on Friday and won't be home until Sunday.
Anyway, I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend.
Take care.
