Six dollars and a day in pictures! Oh, and Dancing Eggs!

This picture I took, right after I glanced myself in the car mirror. The ho hum face is for the benefit of my hair, which is turning blond again. I plan on trying to keep the darker/more natural looks, but I just colored my hair, so I'll have to wait until the end of this month to try it again.

It's amazing what you'll find when you set your mind to read the scriptures. I opened it up today while waiting for a store to open, and found six whole american dollars, and my daughter's health card! This must be an omen for me to open them up more than once a week! We are off to Acorn Cottage tonight. It's thanksgiving time here in Canada, and although I won't be celebrating thanksgiving until November, we still have a three day weekend!

I won't be posting until Monday or Tuesday of next week, so I wanted to leave you with a nice big post! I've succeeded on getting our top floor organized, with toys, clothes and misc. all weeded out and ready for donation. My basement and TV room are another story, but it's an organized mess! I should have this finished next week and then I'm on to getting our food storage and emergency winter preparedness going. It snows a lot here in Montreal, and I would hate to be left without power and not the emergency items to use. A couple of years ago, the power was out to most of the city for almost a week! Yikes!

Yesterday in pictures:

I finally sat down and played the piano today! I usually pick a piece that I don't know very well and leave it on piano. Every spare moment I dedicate to the piano, I'll practice that song and than pull out a few that I know well. It's my favorite thing in th world to do - it's my peace!

I completed my organization of the top floor, including the girl's very small closets. Old houses are never equipped with those nice big walk-in closets! It's fun having their rooms uncluttered, it may make cleaning them easier for all of us!

Craig had church meetings tonight, but was able to take the girls out for a bike ride while I walked down that same street to get some diet coke and bottled water for dinner. We had Ikea swedish meetballs-try them they are really good!




While Craig was at his meeting, the girls and I played the silliest game called "Dancing Eggs"! This game is hilarious! Sassy gave it to them for their birthday along with a couple other games from this same german company. I think she got them off QVC. Anyway the object of the game is to collect the eggs and the person with the most eggs wins. The catch is, when you get an egg, you roll the white dice and it tells you where you're supposed to hold the egg. For instance, below your chin, between your legs, on your arm.


The red dice has activities you do with the eggs. For instance, one side of the dice has a picture of table, if it's rolled, you're supposed to run around the table, keeping your eggs in place. If you drop an egg, it has to go back in the egg carton. Really, it's hilarious and I think would be a fun game for adults to play too! Here's the website of you're interested in researching the game. Click here! Also check QVC, it's probably easier to order their.


Do you have any silly games you play with your kids?
What hobby do you miss doing?

Happy Birthday Bro!
