mon/tues

 mon the girls woke up with fevers!  i gave them meds and after lunch they were feeling better.  i found them like this

the girls watching NATE! put on a puppet show!
they laughed and giggled!

 then i read the girls this book.
my dad bought me this book BEFORE i got married, he put a note in it that said "maybe one day you can read this to your kids"
janette oke is my FAV author
nate was never interested in this book
but this wk, my girls LOVED it
thanks dad, 15 yrs later ;)

 then. oh my word.

yesterday chris sent me an email saying :have the kids ready around 4 and ill pick them up and take them to run errands. we will be about an hr"
i was like.... SCORE
but chris came home a bit early
when he came home i told the girls to get their boots and jackets on and go to the van
they did
chris and i sat down and started to sort through the mail...then i hear......SCREAMING and YELLING then SHREAKING

i jumped off the chair, looked at chris and yelled " they are SCARED!!!!!"
the girls came screaming, trembling in the house yelling " BEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


i looked at chris and said " did you pick up the bear and forget about it??????"

OMG LONG story short, chris scored us a real bear on kijii, picked it up and FORGOT about it, he put it in the back of the van. then sent the girls out.

but today, we brought our bear in and they love it
the bear has no name yet....

 our bear!

 from the side

 the view that the girls got....poor girls!!!!!

 but joey LOVES it now!

 wall shot

 another funny joey story

after chris left with the older kids to the cabin to go sledding. joey went to the bathroom to do her business ...then she yells "mom!  COME" so i did
she was REALLY upset
i was like joey! why are you so MAD????
she says "when i was a little baby and i went poop on the toilet you gave me chocolate. but now that im a big girl i get NOTHING!"
i said "okay....what can i do?"
joey says "i want a jar of candy so i can get chocolate when i poop"
i was like that's fair. i personally would LOVE to get a piece of candy when i poop
so i got her a jar
she set it up

 and was THRILLED to get a smartie every time she poops
dont you want a smartie every time YOU poop???? lol

 voila~

 so proud

 then i brushed her teeth and she yelled " MOM COME and see the bear"
and i did
hahah she put her sunglasses on him!

 hahaha

 then joey and i spent the night painting

 she set up the paints

 and off we went

 and i loved every minute of her mom and joey night

 voila!
