Oh my Ayden! What would I do without him?! That boy keeps me laughing all the time!
We were watching tv and a clip of the movie Up came on.
I was saying to Ayden that if there was one movie that I could watch over & over again it would be that movie.
He said yeah it's the movie about how you can only go on great adventures after your wife dies!
LMFAO!!!
OMG he is my son!!!! Yes I always knew he was... just with a sense of humour like that, makes me proud!
He said he saw that online. LOL
Oh that had both of us laughing for a long time. Pretty much until I came here to write about it.
I just love that kid! :)
The boys, my sis & me.

How about some pics from our Sunday?!
This day seems to be dragging. I'm getting lots done... but maybe because of the time change it seems like the never ending day! LOL So here are a few pics for your viewing pleasure!
Momma built them a train track EACH. Yes we all know why.... We couldn't find all the pieces to the 2nd wooden track. So I got creative to make a second figure eight track. I used the tunnel piece from the second wooden track with the plastic tracks. It`s held up well. That was until they started using the houses & tree pieces as missiles to try and take out each others trains... Bahahaha. Gotta give them an A for creative use of accessory pieces! LOL

And at the swimming pool this morning. They have a play area. I had to send in Ethan & Ayden in and turn around to come back home because all 5 of us (okay, really just me....) forgot the bag with the towels in it. Ethan`s lesson was about to start, so I sent in the big boys, while I ran home quickly. So I came to the pool to find Ayden rummaging through the toy box at the pool looking for colour coordinating huge lego pieces to build a box inside a box inside a box. LOL But look at the dirty look he`s giving his brother. Ha ha!
And here is Aston rockin & rollin on the teeter totter... the reason of Ayden`s dirty look. LMAO!
Weekend is almost over...
Wow,
Time always flies. It's amazing how quickly the weekend can go from start to finish. Sometimes I think that the weekends should be 5 days and the weekdays should be 2 days! LOL Wouldn't that be awesome?!
I really shouldn't complain how quickly the weekend has gone by, I have had a really good weekend! Hockey game Friday night, which was just so much fun! And then Ewan had swimming Saturday morning. He is still such a fish in water. I love watching how much fun he has. It's pretty awesome to see him love water that much, and listen to the instructor so that he can play safely in the water that he loves so dearly.
Saturday afternoon was Ethan's soccer game. He just loves playing soccer. I CAN NOT believe how much that boy looks like his Daddy when he runs! OMG It is crazy! He looks like such a Cook when he is running up & down the field. He didn't score any goals. He actually even ran right past the ball, could have just kicked it since it was so close, and return to the other teams zone. But no. LOL It was quite funny. But he made up for it when came out of the paddock. The ball again was right there and he gave it a good kick into the opponents end zone. The other team was undefeatable, and Ethan's team managed to tie up the score at the end. So they played really well.
This morning is Ethan and the Astons swimming lessons. We are actually almost heading out of the door right now. Aston still isn`t as cool about the water as his other 2 brothers who are in swimming lessons. But he is getting there. He isn`t sure at first, but then once he`s in, he`s good. So that`s good for him!
Then this afternoon & tonight, is homework, cleaning, getting ready for the next week. I got a Chem test on Monday, yippee! A Bio test on Tuesday, lol. Then on Wednesday I`m doing the whole student buddy system with someone in OHS. A whole day following a 2nd year student from class to class. I am actually a bit nervous... but quite excited. But the nervous part is odd for me, lol. Yeah I don`t get nervous too much... So I`m not sure why I feel that way! But I know I probably won`t feel that way for long.
Thursday we have off from school, for Remembrance Day. So I`ll be attending a service for that, I believe downtown Edmonton, to pay my respects.
Friday I got school again. Double Chem! Can`t miss out on that. Just cause it`s SO much fun! LOL
Then on Sunday my adopted AB family and I are going to the CFR. I`m pretty stoked about going to that. Haven`t been in 9+ years to the CFR. So it`s pretty awesome. Looking forward to it.
Well it`s time to get ready for swimming lessons. So I`d better run :) Update more later!

Picture time!
I had so much fun tonight going to the hockey game! Detroit was here. I loved it! I was hollering at the players! LOL We even had the people beside us laughing! It was awesome. The only thing was they scored their only goal when I was in the bathroom! *sigh* go figure! LMAO
Yes I'm sure everyone has seen this pic, but...me, in a lab coat, in the bathroom?! LOL How much odder does it get?

Oh Wednesday....
Yep half way through the week!
Well I've had a pretty good week! I had an awesome day at school! Maybe I should just be a professional student! LOL Then I'll never have to stop loving what I do everyday! Nah... I got to go work a real job one day. I know I'll enjoy the career field I'm heading into, I always have fun with my jobs because they are what I make them to be. If I hate them then I'll be miserable, if I love them, then I'll love going to work.
Anyways school... oh I could go on & on about all the fun that I have at school. Most I really shouldn't say again or out loud. LOL But I do and can say certain things. I'm starting to think the common factor in all the fun is me though. LMAO.... and it's not always clean fun! I get told and talk some pretty bad stuff! I think it's hilarious. And like I said the common factor is me.... I'm sure everyone is SOOO shocked and sitting down now. I was told by my peers that I was the loudest female in Physics.... Like wha??!! I don't think so! LOL
Okay now onto the other school stuff. I'm doing good in Bio! I got 10/10 on my respiratory test. I beat my bio partner! YAY!! My bio partner is one BIG dude! LOL We had a lab in Bio today, I knew I wasn't going to like it much. We had to blow air into a spirometer... I knew that saliva was going to be flying! *puke* And sure enough it was.... I even knew I'd get some on me, yep I did. Luckily I didn't get anyone elses in my mouth... *double puke*. But I seriously started gaging when I look into the tube that you blow into the spirometer.... OMG That thing is so full of the nastiest of nasty shit!!! So I had 2 labs today.... Bio & Physics. It was already my long day. Then put in two labs.... just made it drag ass.
But I took the kids out for our favourite walk today to Rundle park. It was nice... but the sun set quicker than I thought. Now I've only ever been in Rundle once before at night. And I didn`t like it then, so my feelings towards Rundle at night haven`t changed much! Nope.... It wasn`t 100% dark, I`d say about 90% dark. Which by my standards was way too dark to be there! The kids had fun, got cold easily tthough. And I was chilly too. Winston loved being there the best. So it was good!
And yeah, here comes the bad Mom report. Ewan`s finger, that was slammed in the toy box.... pretty sure it`s broken... I didn`t take him to the Dr`s cause I thought because the mobility was fine, he was okay. Well I got told by my ex after the weekend that Ewan`s finger is probably broken, mostly likely broken I think he said. Oh man! I feel terrible. I just thought it was smushed, and swollen. My general rule for the ER is hanging at a weird angle or bleeding profusely! LOL Terrible rule huh.... But he has had someone at school step on it, smashed it around here and there. Refuses to wear the tape to have it immobilized to the finger beside it, cause it`s his pinky. I guess for the child that has had stitches, glue, and then stitches AND glue in 3 different spots on his face between the ages of 1-2, and also ripped out a stitch, to need the glue added to the stitches AND glue one... He`ll be okay. But still, saying he`ll be okay doesn`t help much with my mom guilt!
So it looks like I`m going to an Oilers hockey game Friday night with Mike! Woo! Awesome! I`m so excited to go. So watch the game. And look for me on the telly. Ha ha. Just kidding. I don`t think I got a jersey though. Uh oh! Better get a t-shirt, or something like that. Maybe one of the boys got one that`s too big for them.... Oh AND then next weekend I`m going to the CFR (Canadian Finals Rodeo) with my sissy pants Marla, and her mom & sister. They are the ones I spent Thanksgiving with. So yeah! Good fun times ahead for me. Hockey, music & good times this Friday night. And then cowboys, with my Alberta family next weekend. Damn I`m spoiled! I love it ;)
Well my cell sucks.... I was going to share some pics here, but I guess she has other plans. So maybe in the morning.... If I don`t sleep in too late again! Ha ha.... speaking of which... got to go switch over the laundry, and finish making kids lunches, set out clothes for the morning... ahhhhhh better go bust my ass now :)

Some of Ethan opening cards on his birthday morning.
Not great pic of me, but, me walking Winston across the bridge at Rundle. More like being dragged!
See that didn't take too long...
Then they found their sticks... which are getting bigger everytime!
And then doing the 1..2..3, with all 4 brothers.
Chillin with mom in the front room :)
Outside of Rexall heading in to watch The Wiggles!
There they all are on stage!
Happy Halloween!
Well this was an odd Halloween this year. I really wasn't part of any of it for my boys. And that really kinda sucked! But, in the same way, it was okay. Just cause it was different doesn't mean it was bad. I didn't do pumpkins, I didn't decorate the house, I didn't get my boys ready, dressed, fed and out the door... It was kind of like Thanksgiving. It was just different, I wasn't any part of it with my boys. I don't know if I'll relinquish the control over every year. LOL For all of the times that I usually make a big deal out of for my boys.
But then again, I got them for Christmas, for their birthday's, and those are really big things to me. Thanksgiving, Halloween.... yeah I really like to do it up big, and make good memories with those for my boys. But that doesn't mean their father doesn't deserve to have them too and make a fuss over them in his own way for those special times too.
I guess because I didn't have any jack o lanterns, and no decorations up. Just a light on outside, I didn't get very many trick or treaters. And I really hate to say this.... But I was okay with that. Honestly and this might sound rather sucky... LOL... but my feet get terribly cold on Halloween night with our door being open (usually) and I just can't get them warm again. Luckily, I was able to dive under the blankets more than once and for a good long time actually, in between trick or treaters. I got I'd say about 30 kids this year. Which was perfect :)
And then the best part of the evening.... my boys came home!! It was awesome! They looked SO CUTE walking through the door with their candy bags loaded up! So darn cute with my soldier, police officer & firefighter crash banging through the door. They were so proud of their haul! But the ex was smart... yes I'll call him smart when he deserves it. LOL He bagged up most of the kids candy into a shopping bag, per child and left about 10 treats per child in each of their trick or treating bags. So it was actually easy to take most of the kids candy away and put it away to be rationed out at a later time. Which was awesome! No tears! They each had about 4 treats when they came home. Said good bye to their Daddy pretty quickly and then got dressed and went to bed easily. Uh.... WOW! It actually turned out very well. I was really impressed with how easy the evening went.
But even though it was Halloween, and even though the boys got a huge haul of candy, had a great time doing it, and looked so darn adorable in their costumes, as well as the little ones at my door who were just the cutest....
You know what my FAVOURITE part of the night was tonight???
When Ewan & I were sitting side by side on the couch, sitting close, but not quite touching. I looked over at him eating his candy, and in a quiet and calm voice I said easily to him "I missed you".... And in a quiet and calm voice back he softly said "I missed you too momma". :)
