Hello New Car!!!

My new car is HOT!!! I absolutely love it! Yes, it is a brand new, 2008, Mazda 3 Sedan. It has a lot of hutzpa (well, I guess compared to the crappola Neon, anything would feel powerful!), and I don't feel like a "mom" when I'm driving it, which is great, considering I am a mom. Not that being a mom is a bad thing.....well, anyways, I'm sure you know what I mean. According to Aidan, the only thing hotter than my new car is me IN my new car. How sweet is he!


Owen has become the splitting image of his dad. He is out skateboarding all the time, I am surprised he can evan ride on that thing! I sure can't. He's even doing tricks and board flipping moves - yes, you can tell how well I know the lingo.

Look at him ride it! He's a little pro!

We went for a good walk the other day down in False Creek. Vancouver is a beautiful city, especially on a hot sunny day! I had never been down to this particular area before, and was pleasantly surprised by the gorgeous view of the city from across the inlet.

And here is my dear Miss M, or gap tooth as we now like to call her. She wants to help with everything and won't take no for an answer. Here she is grating cheese for our lasagne the other night. I hovered over her in fear that she was going to shred her little fingers, but no blood was lost, and we had a great supper.

We have begun to renovate Maeg's bedroom. Today we emptied it out (I can't believe a little girl can have so much stuff!!!), she's bunking with Owen for the next week or so. It's hard for us to do it quickly because we both work five days a week and I'm also working some overtime tomorrow so that makes for a very short weekend. We ripped out all the baseboards and mouldings, and scraped off the sticky tile laminate that was in her window seat. We also taped around the ceiling and primed over the flowers that were painted all over her walls. The highlight of the day was when I removed the door handle while the door was still closed and we were locked in for a few tense moments. Actually, Maeghan was the only tense one, tiredness and hysteria had set in for me and I laughed uncontrollably until Aidan managed to figure out how to open it! I'm such a dumbass! I have never really renovated anything before, so already I feel like I'm learning a lot. Aidan doesn't usually let me help him when he does stuff, I'm not sure why.................

What color are we painting her room you ask? Well pink of course! Apparently no other color will do for our little princess! I tried to talk her into a nice soft green, or a bluey lavender, but she was so not into it. It just means we'll have to repaint it in a few years when she grows out of it. I'll post some pics when we are done. Hopefully that will be in the near future.

Ms Marigold is coming along. I'm on the bottom waist ribbing now. I haven't been able to work on it very much these last few days. Hopefully an FO to show you soon!
