Tis The Season...
I put the tree up tonight, YAY! The angel keeps making the tree lean to the left, BOO! I don't know how to fix it either, erg. And I really need to suck it up & buy coordinating ornaments. It's so mixy matchy!! And right now, looks really bad! After the boys go to bed, I'll have to "tweak" a couple things. I'm not sure if that will do anything though. We seriously lack in the ornament department for some reason. Hrmm. I need the person that decorates the trees for commercials to come help with this tree. Brilliant! How does one get that job, I wonder? And what is your title? Professional Tree Decorator? TV Tree Personnel? Whatever they are, I need one. And preferrably before the angel tips the whole tree over!!!

The Life of A *Non Lipstick Wearing* Hockey Mom
Today, was crazy. The boys were up far too soon for me, 6:30!! I got Anson's stuff together for his hockey filled day. We left the house at the crack of early (7:45 in my world). The boys had practice, and I was busy during, doing tournament things & other hockey/silly volunteer mom stuff. At 9:45 the boys came off the ice, and I quickly got them undressed, put Ryden's hockey stuff in the car, got Anson's booster seat & waited for the Noice coach. He showed up, got Anson's gear stowed, got him in the truck, off they went to White Fox. Came home with Ryden, got him some food, and a couple other random things I needed. Went & picked up my mother in law, and left for White Fox around 10:45.
We got there just as Anson's game started. He had a great game! 3 goals this time, he was thrilled! He is up to 5 goals in Novice now, YAY! Ryden played with his friend Kevin, so it was nice to not really have to worry about him. We also went to a craft show that was next to the rink, it was okay (kind of hokey though, not a lot of stuff, unless you like a "Redneck Wind Chime, which = beer cans hanging from a chunk of wood). Then we (as in, the entire Novice team) went to Nipawin for some DQ. YUM. I looooove their poutine, SO good! My Blizzard is waiting in my freezer :D
Ryden fell asleep on the way home, & he slept for a while. He's still up darn it! Anson is EXHAUSTED, so he's been in bed for a while. I'm just kind of hanging out online now, and am going to bed soon. Oh, & did I mention we get to do this again next weekend? The boys have an Initiation game Saturday at 11:30, then Anson has a Novice game in Nipawin at 3:15. Yay hockey moms! And no Sabs, still no lipstick ;)

Been Busy, Oops.
Hola. Yeah. Life is crazy 'round these parts. School (and no school. For five days. It sucked), hockey, LIFE!
Garth's grandpa's funeral was Halloween, it was HUGE. Over 250 people came. Then afterwards, we went to my inlaws to visit with family/friends, & the boys got to play with their cousins, & go trick or treating together. My nephew had his costume as well. I asked my BIL Trevor what Sloan was. When he said Yoda, I fell over laughing. My boys went as Anakin Skywalker & Darth Vader!! So unplanned!!! The boys loved playing with their baby cousin! I imagine that Grandpa would have loved his funeral, & the hanging out that happened afterwards. It would have been exactly how he wanted us to remember him, and spend time together. It was a really good (albeit sad) day, with lots of stories of Grandpa, & some of his favorite stories & sayings!
School is in full swing, the boys LOVE it. Anson got his report card last week & is doing really well, at his parent teacher interview, his teacher said she has absolutely no worries about him, so I'm very proud of the boy!! Ryden loves going to school to play with his new bestest friend forever, Josh. They also play hockey together & are on the same team, so they were both THRILLED.
Speaking of hockey, the boys first game is next Saturday. Well, Ry's first game. Anson has already played a game. He got AP'd (which is an Affliated Player, it means he helps out another team that is short players) to Novice (7 & 8 year olds). He is in Initiation (4, 5 & 6 year olds), so this a BIG DEAL. At the first Novice game last week, he got the team's first 2 goals! He was SOOOO excited! He has another Novice game tomorrow, in White Fox. So, that is what we are doing tomorrow. Practice for both at 8:30, game at 11:45 in White Fox for Anson. Yay hockey....
Nothing is really new with Garth or I. We just kind of follow the boys around to where they need to be. I'm going to be so lost in 15 years, when both boys are gone. My auntie is dealing with it now, empty nest symdrome, and I think I get it. She had 2 girls who did a little bit of everything, like my boys. That is going to be me. Randomly going to Saskatoon to buy bath towels, because I can. Being bored out of my tree because I don't have to be in 4 places at once. It kind of has me scared, already!!
Anywho, no more rambling from me tonight, sorry! But I am going to do a survey in my next post. If you do it too, tell me so I can go read it!!
