cabin!
meeka knows the cabin now! as soon as i turned into the drive way she was ready to run FREE in the snow. she's pretty much off leash out there. and stays close to us. winter is DEFINEATLY her season. she cant get enough of the snow and cold!
chris is working away at the office. the windows are in and its closed up now. so all thats left is the electrical, insulation, drywall and mudding...painting....sigh...
we have had a clod snap this yr! its been SO cold! -15ish each day!
pretty ice. but cold!
meeka out with the kids
we came home around supper time....but it was a good visit!

hair cuts!
joey lost a good 5" and got BANGS!
still long enough for a pony!
ellie lost a good 6"
she just wanted a simple cut. no fuss. but that's ellie. all practical! just want to brush it and go!
my joey!
and meeka! she needs a cut and bath! ha
i started in the school room. cleaning it out for the move....can you see what i see? joey's in the book shelf! haha now that the storage closets are empty the girls like to play in them! they are so creative with their play. the shelfs have been a jail, a house, a dog store, a library and a "homeless ppl house"
i took a break to enjoy our first real snow fall. we have had 2 storms so far. but this doesnt change our life style much. with all of us working from home we still get things done. moncton is in red, so the schools are back to on line and most places are closed. i feel so bad for the working parents! trying to arrange child care and home learning on top on everything! i choose this crazy! they don't! ha
but i do have to say. "learning at home" is NOT home schooling! two completely different things!
joey wanted to help me with the laundry. she dressed up for it. sparkly dress and shoes
spin! spin! she's getting so big!
she's actually a good helper!
i left the paints out on the table last week and look what happened...ellie sat down and painted!
joey put on her make up
sunday i took the kids to the cabin for the night. that was the plan but after talking with nate he wanted to stay longer. so we went home and packed more food and school books and stayed until wed. i love that we have the flexibility to do that. nate enjoys the quiet of the cabin. and i love having him around...we cooked supper together tues night. it was his idea, and we had a blast! we had little to work with but it turned out good! and we decided that we should cook together weekly!
meeka loves the cabin! she likes her walks in the woods. i found a groomed trail for us to take. too bad its ALL up hill at the start! but a GREAT way to tire out the dog! ellie came with me on monday
seriously! can you NOT see the smile on her face!?!?! this dog loves the woods!
my loves! Meeka practicing her "stay" not too bad!
deep snow is so fun!
i call her my mtn goat. she sits on the snow pile in front of the window and watches us. she doesnt want to come in! she just makes sure we are ok and enjoys the snow
my mtn goat! i do leash her when it starts to get dark, but during the day she roams
she doesnt want to come in!
she is on wk 2 of her heat. its not fun to wipe up after but im still glad i chose to do this. if i can get another yr or 2 out of her that would be great. i cant get over how much i love this dog. she follows me around the house. i almost feel bad for being upstairs! she sits at the bottom of the stairs and waits for me to come back
joey made her bed. hahaha
miss meeka!
me! chilling at the cabin!
but not alone! ha
we needed to be back home for nate's shifts. he has sucky shifts. 7-10. meeka joins me on the pick ups. she's my guard pup!
thanks ursi for the socks! ive claimed about 4 pairs! haha
we had a good week, getting school done, working at the cabin, packing up the house a bit at a time...it's been cold and gross out but Jan is flying by!

christmas!
chris and i are now trying to cook/bake together...on a more regular schedule...chris chose this fried curry chicken. and it was fan-freaking-tastic! he threw in some cauliflower and even that was yummy!
i helped as well!
joey chose to have a salad instead
voila! it was really good! chris and i were thinking to get an air fryer with our christmas money, we decided to pool our money together to get something for the house. we ended up getting a rooba vacuum! OMG it was worth it! i'll never vacuum again! i LOVE it! and meeka leaves it alone, she will lay on the floor and it will go around her. its helping chris deal with the dog hair in the house...ha
i was reading and i found this text. i texted it to nate. he thought it was a GREAT idea. haha
my evenings are spent like this. quiet. im reading or watching a show and meeka is with me. i love it. i decided this christmas i was going to do something different. i was going to go on a vacation from my life. ha. with NO guilt. i wanted to fully enjoy it. and guess what?!?!
i did! i took all the "to do's, expectations, etc..." and allowed myself to enjoy my rest. i did! i stayed up redic late watching movies, reading, googling and sleeping in, then having coffee with chris. no time crunch. i did house hold jobs when ever...but i truly enjoyed the rest. i am so glad i did. i can honestly say this was the most enjoyable christmas i can remember having. im almost sad to end it!
joey gave me her lipsticks. i was so thankful! the cherry flavored one is splendid!
we had quite a few ppl over for coffee over the holidays. it caused me to move out of my comfort zone. i family i never met before....anyway. josy wanted me to do her hair. so i did!
nate was able to spend time in hali with my sis and family. they had to do the bulk of the driving bec i cant cross the border. one drop off i got to see charlie! i havent seen her since aug. she is TALLER than me! even with my mop bun!
ellie missed nate...
they have a cute bond christmas eve! mmmmmm fake wine! it actually tasted really good
joey!
