PHEW!!!

Well am I ever glad that is done! My Mom gave me her Shoppers Optimum points over the weekend to go and pick up some of the meds we need for our trip to China. I didn't think it was going to be as bad as what it actually was! There are WAY TOO MANY choices out there. Although I had a list and was confident going in what I was going to get, when I actually got in front of the shelves and had to put something in my cart I freaked out. Thanks to my sister for calming me down and helping me out on what to get. A shout out to my 'personal shopper' too ~ I had some questions I posed to the Pharmacist and I think he took pity on me, likely because at this point I had been there for about an hour and didn't make it out of the first aisle...(not joking!) I told him what I was shopping for and he said to give him my shopping list and he went about the store picking everything up I needed while I waited at the counter - he definitely went above and beyond his duty! I've got a few more things to pick up but the expiry dates weren't that far out so I'm holding off on that stuff!

Today was 'lucky mailbox day'...or so I've appropriately named. Thanks to one of my swap pals from the US for the lovely gifts. The theme was 'Ladybugs and Panda's'! here's a pic.....

And to save the best for the last - I got this cute Sonya Lee doll over the weekend from my very good friend Angela - she's very thoughtful and giving!

Ladybug sighting!

My sweet Husband brought me home two Lindt Ladybug chocolates as I've been home sick the last few days with the miserable cold going around. I wonder if the Ladybug sighting means referrals will be coming soon! I hope so, the rumor going around is that a large batch will be completed this month, a couple of large batches and we could see a picture of the daughter we have been waiting for a long time! Come on Dec 5, 05 referrals!

Happy Mother's and Mother's-To-Be Day!

I hope you all had a wonderful day! We spent some time with my Mom and family today for supper and are hoping to see my Husband's Mom tonight, they've been away all day~so we may end up only visiting tomorrow night since it's after 8pm now.

As promised I've finally found some time to do up a few quick photos of some of my favorite items purchased while in Maine with our friends Angela and Bryan.


The first one is a stroller I saw at JC Penney last year and didn't get it, but when I went back this year and they still had them and it was on sale, I HAD to buy it! It's hard to see in this picture but it's covered with little ladybugs.

This picture has a sweet little ladybug top (on left) with matching shorts, the hems are ruffled..so sweet, the middle outfit is another pair of shorts with a sweet floral halter and the last picture is a little panda bear sweater and jeans with a ribbon down the sides.


When Angela and I saw the 'everyone loves a brown eyed girl' T-shirt at Target we HAD to have them for our girls. I also got a 'my dad rules' onesie in camo....my Husband is into Hunting and fishing so Madi can wear this when she is out with her Daddy having bonding time....no NOT hunting!, another onesie that says I 'heart' Daddy, and my absolute favorite purchase, a pair of pink 'chucks'. When I hit my teen years I had just about every color you can imagine in chuck taylor's...this is what we use to call them....not sure if they do anymore!
Well, that about wraps it up for tonight. I've got a few things left to do before the Finale of Survivor at 9pm. Have a Great Night!

Summer Fun!

Ok, well, it's not really summer yet but with the weather we have been having lately it sure seems like it's summer. We topped at 30 C yesterday - I almost had to turn on my air conditioner....but didn't - I'm enjoying having my windows open and the fresh air blowing in....until we get the down wind of the farm up the road....YUCK!

I think I've caught up on my rest from this past weekend. We headed down to Maine for some R&R with some great friends, the weather was absolutley beautiful and the shopping even better. Angela and I both got lots of goodies for our girls - I'll try to post some pictures tonight. Our men didn't fair too badly either - they both came home with lots of fishing stuff.

Adoption update: it's still early in the month to get any rumors, but I'm sure they'll start trickling in over the next week or two.

Have a Great Sunny Day! It's suppose to reach 26 C today.
