Mark had some fun making some pickles and hot pickled beans. Wonder how they'll turn out.
Day 245 - September 2, 2014
Today is the first day of school...I was ready and yet not, but nevertheless the day arrived and off the kids went. Alex headed off to his first day of high school, Carsten to Grade 8 and Savannah off to Grade 4...it's hard to believe how quick the kids grow up. While I half joked this morning that there was 290 days, 3 hours and 56 minutes til summer vacation...I am very thankful for the christian schools that my children are blessed to attend. I also add a prayer for the school year that I saw on Facebook.
Day 246 - September 3, 2014
I have been trying to eat healthier for a while now and it was hard to find a THM approved chocolate that didn't melt outside of the fridge or freezer...let me just say, these No Sugar Added chocolates from Russell Stover are amazing!!! They may not be perfectly on plan but I'm ok with that because it is better than the alternative of a sugar filled chocolate.
Day 247 - September 4, 2014
Thanks to Mandy Forbes from Split Endz who gave me a great haircut and some highlights today...my goal is to go twice this year :) I mean to go more often but it is something that I often put on the back burner because there are other things I have to do. Thanks so much to Kim who watched Rowan so I could go :) Sorry for the Walmart selfie ;)
Day 248 - September 5, 2014
I had a great time playing soccer with the kids at the back to school BBQ...starting soccer practice today with the kids and plan to teach them two things right away...
#1 Wear shin pads
#2 Kick the ball, not people
Here is my ankle after being kicked rather hard...little swollen and bruise keeps coming out.
Day 249 - September 6, 2014
After playing in the school baseball tournament today, I didn't really want to cook supper and we went out to Port Stanley and ate at Mackie's...this was our first time ever eating there and it was yummy :) We explored the beach a little before making our final stop at Shaw's.

I delivered Alex's paper route for him as he has been sick...I love this cool mailbox that I got to deliver the flyers to :)
I was out shopping at Canadian Tire as I have been looking for something to hang dress clothes and uniforms on...so glad I found one I like and it was on sale. I chose the one on the left and Rowan and I built it this morning.
Day 256 - September 13, 2014
The only usable picture I took today was one I took secretly of Mark who was so cold that he put on as many layers as he could find and the last layer was my old Red Wing jersey...never thought I'd see the day :)
