A new laptop for a new school year.

 I know I have been making a lot of empty promises in the last post but I finally got a new laptop with everything working well on it, so no more excuses. The school year has started and it is really busy around here.I still haven't got my school bus problems completely sorted but hopefully that will be solved in less then a week. The kids are all happy about school.

Tini Mini started senior kindergarden, she is growing soooooooooooooooo fast.

And Champion is actually starting first grade, I hope she will be able to sit still for longer periods of time.

Bookworm started her International Baccalaureate program and is already bombarded with homework and tests, but she seems very enthusiastic about her schooling.And I am a very, very, very proud mommy!!!

Finally, I can get back to blogging!

After many problems with my internet and computer I can finally get back to sharing my precious moments with my followers. I promise to write more posts and be a better blogger this year. I am making that one of my resolutions. Keep following I will be posting again very soon. Oh! and I wish everybody the best this year, health first and then happiness and everything else wanted.

Awards night.

At last, Champion 's first school year is coming to an end. I'm so proud of her, she managed to learn french in a single year. She even got nominated for the schools award night and got a certificate for improving her french. I framed it and put it up beside her bed. CONGRATULATIONS !!GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT.

Champion's birthday party

Happy Birthday Champion

Saturday was champion's fifth birthday and we had a blast. Great friends,good times and lots of food.  It rained so I organized different play areas for the kids in the basement, they loved it. We still had the barbecue and we were able to do the pinata outside thanks to my new patio roof. The cakes where yummy, the presents were wonderful and everybody had a great time. Oh ya! and I think the loot bags were a success too. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHAMPION, WE LOVE YOU SWEETIE.

Garage Sale Disaster!!!

About a year ago I started planning on having my first garage sale. I started keeping things and planning it and just could not wait to do it. Saturday was the perfect day, the weather was amazing. I had great stuff to sell, car seats, toddler beds, mattresses, kids toys, kids clothes, etc....

It was so disappointing, the few people that showed up wanted mostly everything for free. Nobody even bought lemonade from the girls lemonade stand. I was aiming at making 300$ to pay back the basket ball net that I bought last week ( on my credit card). Well, I made a whopping......27$. That is so totally the last time I attempt to do a garage sale. Anyways we decided to go and treat ourselves to Dairy Queen to lift our spirits up....and it did.

New member in our family.

We got a new kitten. Last year our cat Gadoo(means cat in Armenian) got hit by a car and died . It's almost been 6 months and I think our other cat, Misha, is getting lonely being alone all day while I go to work .A friend of mine found an abandonned kitten in the backyard. She knew I was looking for a stray kitten to adopt so she gave him to me. He is so cute.

We are thinking about calling him Butterscotch but we are not quite sure yet, any suggestions?

The girls are just delighted by this new arrival, here are some pics.

Family visit

This week-end was lots of fun. My mom came from Montreal with my uncle Daniel. We don't get to see them very often so we were excited. My uncle made me a garden to plant fruits and vegetables, he also cut off the tree branches that had the caterpillar tents. I got to keep the tree, next year I will have to spray it first thing in the spring. We didn't get to do the garage sale due to bad weather but I will have it in a couple of weeks. We got our new basket-ball net and put it up, Naomi was soooooo happy, she's been out there playing since.

After my mom left on Sunday the girls went to a birthday party at McDonald's and had a blast, what a great week-end we had.
