Happy BELATED Birthday to ....

my E-man.

On Thursday January 7th, 2010 my baby turned 7 years old.
WOW I can't believe how fast the time has flown by.
Yesterday our school district had a professional day so we decided to have Eman's bday party on that day. Worked out great as there were lots of bday parties yesterday & today..lol..
So hubs n I took Eman & Dman to McDonalds for Eman's bday party.
This was the very first time we had ever had a party there.
All the kids LOVED it. They all had a great time.
In fact was told by one of the little boys it was the best birthday party EVAH!!!...LOL!!
Too cool. So I have to tell you the funniest/cutest thing ever.
I'm sitting at the parent table with the other parents when next thing you know I see a girl holding my Eman's hand walking over to her mom. Ok this girl, her sister and here mom were not part of our party but at McDonalds having dinner.
Anyways...a mom overheard the lil girl telling her mom that Eman was her boyfriend and asked if it was alright...not sure what the mom said. Nex thing you know Eman brings the girl over to me and says this is my mom, & my dad. Mom and Dad this is my girlfriend.
I tried sooo hard to keep a straight face...lol...sooooo she looks in my eyes and says to me while pointing her fingers between Eman and herself..."YOU KNOW WE'RE BOYFRIEND & GIRLFRIEND RIGHT?????" I said oh really??? Then I asked her her age. She was only 6!! She knew what she wanted and went right after it!! LOL!! I can see that girl getting places when she is older....lol.... OMG it was too damn funneh!! So she wanted some cake and Eman told her she could...which was fine because we had lots, then next thing you know her lil sister is screaming in my face, " I WANT CAKE TOO!!!! DID YOU HEAR ME I WANT CAKE TOO!!" I was like ooook then...but it was fine because like I said we had enough to go around.
So yeah after the party when we came home, Eman said she told me her phone number so I can call her since we are boyfriend & girlfriend. I asked him well do you know her name?
He said I forget her name & her phone number!! I chucked inside...was too darn cute!!
Ok so here's a pick of Eman's Scooby Doo Cake!

When he blew out the candles.... 1 candle remained!! DA DA DA!!LOL!
That will be a birthday of his I will never forgot!!
TTFN!!

Welcome 2010! Happy New Year! <:o)

Happy New Year!!

This morning, the hubs n 2 boys, n I rang in the New Year at an all ages party at our neighbours.
I had intentions of bringing my young son home early and put him to bed since he is a creature of habit and if you interrupt his habit it puts him all out of sorts, but we stayed until 12:30am.
Just a quick lil walk and we were home and the to youngins were in bed my 12:45am which is the latest that either of them have EVER stayed up until. They were both up by 9:15am which I found wasn't too bad but wish they would have slept in a lil longer since they are used to about 10-11 hours of sleep a nite..lol... We all got our party on and had a great time!
This was the first New Years Eve in over 11 years that I have been out and it was awesome!
We have some really great friends & neighbours.
So far today has been somewhat of a lazy day...just did some dishes and laundry.
My friend just called me up and now I must go and feed my kids, & do my hair because I am going to her house for A New Years Coffee!! LOL!!
Happy New Year and may 2010 be a year fill of fun, wealth, health
and prosperity!!
Hugs, Bonnie

6 Surefire Hangover Helpers

Surfing the web this morning and this article @Delish popped out at me.

6 Surefire Hangover Helpers

#1. Coffee

Coffee can be especially helpful when you’re battling a hangover. The jolt of caffeine can alleviate a headache and help get you going on a morning when you'd rather just stay in bed. If you can't muster the strength to brew a pot yourself, order a strong cup in a big size from your local barista.
Cinnamon Coffee
Set up the coffeemaker before the party. Then fill your travel mug with this blend that adds a touch of comforting cinnamon.

#2. Fruit Juice
If you’re hung-over, you’re likely dehydrated too. Rebalance your body by drinking plenty of fluids. We find that fruit juices often go down easier than plain water. Some people sip sports drinks, to help restore electrolytes and kick those awful hangover symptoms. If your stomach is upset, which it probably is, try seltzer or a soda like ginger ale — the fizz action is famous for soothing the stomach.
Iced Fruit Punch
This bubbly fruit punch is a good choice on a bad morning. Freeze juice ahead of time and mix with seltzer and soda before serving yourself or your suffering sweetie.

#3. Smoothies
Coat your angry tummy with something that tastes better than the pink stuff in a bottle and has natural sugars to give you a boost. Try recipes that call for bananas, which are high in potassium and help with the aching muscles that are common after a night of alcohol indulgence.
Banana and Strawberry Smoothie
This at-home recipe can help shake off a rough morning — we promise it's worth enduring the sound of the blender.

#4. Greasy Spoon
Sometimes a greasy burger and fries is just what you need to survive a hangover. Often a great predrink precaution, a big meal can slow alcohol's effects and help partygoers consume less. The day after, a heavier, fatty meal can absorb alcohol that may still be sloshing around.

All-American Burger
Don't close the blinds and go back to bed. Get up and get yourself one of these.

#5. Hair of the Dog
Although more alcohol may be the last thing on your mind, some swear there is no substitute for a cocktail or frosty draft beer to kick a nasty hangover. Enhance a postparty brunch with a mimosa, Bloody Mary, or beer, and clear your calendar for a lazy day of recovery.
The Perfect Bloody Mary
This secret weapon is garnished with a stalk of celery, which we hope you won't consider breakfast.

#6. Breakfast Anytime
Whether you went to bed at 5 a.m. or woke up at 5 a.m., after a night of overindulging, breakfast should definitely be on the menu. A greasy plate of eggs and bacon is a likely choice, but you can eat healthier while you recover by choosing turkey bacon or egg whites. After all, your body has suffered enough, hasn't it?
Diana Green's Breakfast Sandwich
A healthier version of the sandwich that has helped countless college students make it to class.

What was I thinking??

Today hubs n I took the kids Ice Skating. Since hubs doesn't ice skate, I had to lace up a pair of skates in which has been 30 years since I put on a pair. I was in grade 1, and now I remember why I chose to go rollerskating instead of ice skating in elementary school.
Give me a pair of roller skates over ice skates any day...lol...ok so if it kills me,
2010 is the year I learn to Ice Skate.

Plus inline skates are on ALL of our lists this 2010 year. The boys can inline skate sorta, but the ice skating is harder...so if I can skate better I can help Eman since
he has very poor co-ordination.
Oh plus I think my neighbourhood was the only place in my city that it snowed upon. Woke up to a a teeny bit of snow but it wasn't anywhere else...soooo weird.
Time to make dinner for the fam!
Have a great night.

A New Year, A New Dooo!!

My soon to be 11 yr old son had longer hair than me in the summer.

In September we got alot chopped off but it was still down to his chin.
So today he decided he wanted a "FAUXHAWK" and I let him because it's been 3 LONG LONG years since he had really short hair! I am so glad he went with this cut. He looks soooo handsome!
I've missed being able to see his face completely without being covered by a mop & some bangs.
Here is a collage of his July - December Hair Styles.

Can't believe there are only 2 days left in this year.
I have NO 2010 calendars yet...lol...guess I should go out and get some..lol..
TTFN!!
