hair cuts!

it was a big day last wed!  Everyone BUT me got a new do!  I cut nate's hair into a new style but he didnt want any pics taken and i forgot to take chris's pic. but i did get the girls!  both girls got a lot cut off!

joey lost a good 5" and got BANGS! 

its SO cute on her i love it!  it sits on her shoulders and she looks so different! 

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 

the paw on his shoulder! 

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!

what? in the front seat?  no!  but it's my car! so it's ok! 

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!
