Eating Healthy and stuff

Well it has been 1 week, of healthy eating, and I must say it is going good. The kids have not asked once for chips or pop, and they are trying some food. Well at least hear, I have heard that at my aunts house, they will not eat their supper, I think it is because I am not there, I don't know, and I know that My Aunt's cooking is way better then mine, but at least it is a start, they will try things with me, last night they had pork chops and brocclii, and salad, both girls tried everthing thing that was on their plate. This morning for breakfast Olivia had 1 egg which is way better then toast. Grace ate 4 oranges, grapes, and a piece of kiwi, and some green goodness. For Supper Grace had pork roast, with mash potatoes, then some peaches and she ate it all, 2 bowl full.
enough about what we are eating.
Last Wednesday, I had a very sad mommy moment, it was quick one, but sad, as Grace who will be 3 on Friday is out of a car seat, and now in a booster seat, my last little one is getting bigger. I don't think she had hit the weight, but i think the hight is fine, the seat belt comes accorss her chest.
It is hard to believe that Grace is going to be 3 on January 14th, man the years have gone by really fast. I try and make the most out of the days to try and make them go slower, but it does not work. I think we might go to the movies, she has never been to the movies and Madison is here for the weekend as well. We will have to see.
We had our best Friends over on Satuarday night, it was so much fun, we played taboo, and then cards, I love sitting aournd with great friends, and having a few drinks, laughing, and giving advice on parent hood, and talking about our husbands bromance, lol.
To me it is funny how certin things remind you of things with you were younger, like a smell, or something you do. For me it is the sounds of card shuffling. I remember being at my grandparents house and hearing the cards being shuffled, the smoke in the air, as my mother and grandmother smoked, and problly anyone eles that was there. and eating cheese popcorn. and sitting on someone knee and watching them play cards. Great times. I hope my kids like the same thing, and they remember what cards sound like when they get older, now a days you can play cards on the compter or wii or ps3, well we can try not to have them play that, when we go camping this summer no computer, video games etc... well i better go have a good night e
good night

Family drive

Our Family vacation down east was good, but not great, we left early by 2 days so then we spent the next 2 days sitting in the new truck. Olivia and Grace were really good, they loved to see some of the sites. We left Halifax on December 28th, at midnight and Jeff drove until Moncton NB then we got up and left there at 1:00pm, and Drove to Edmonston NB, and Stayed there for the night. We left there, the next day and went to Old Quebec City for Lunch, We ate at this cute little pub, we left there, and drove to Perth Ontario. My Cousin John and Ashley were getting Married on New years eve. It was a beautiful wedding. It was a great way to start a  new year. We finially got home on January 1st. It was nice to be away, but great to get back home. The Girls loved to stay in a hotel's they got to have a bath everynight, and stay up late. When we got home, I had made plans for our best friends to come for supper, it was a great idea, they brought supper, it was so good.
The girls are still a bit cranky, and still catching up on their sleep. Same goes for Jeff and I not cranky but still catching up on our sleep.
The one thing i am really glad to home is for the food, I love eating out, but it is nice to eat healthy, I am really tired of McDonalds, and Wendys, Burger King, as well as Resturant food. Now we are home we know where are food if from. and I make it. or better yet, Jeff makes it.
We are now getting back into the swing of things, I still have Laundy to catch up on, and still have to get both Jeff and I ready for work, and kids to my Aunt's for sitting while we are at work, and then on Friday Olivia has School, her first day back. So i have to get a hold of the other sitter for school.
We are very glad to be back at work, as Driving the truck was a bit more money on gas then we usually spend to drive to Halifax.
Jeff is working Doubles all week, so we get to drive by ourselfs.
Right now the girls and I are watching Tinker bell, the great fairy rescue, it is a really really good movie.
and know I have to start to get ready for work my self. Hope everyone has a great day

Why I am starting this blog

Hello, I thought I would start this blog, because everyone i know has one. So I thought why not me. I also wanted to blog about being a worker wife, mother. I will post the things that work best for me, and advice i get from others. I will also blog about problems, in hopes i will find the answer. Plus, my girls can read this one day, and then they will know what they did, as well as both of us as parents. I hope everyone will be apart of this. Tell everyone you know, the more the better.
