We've done it!

What?!? Two posts in just a matter of days of each other?!? I know...I can hardly believe it. But, something monumental has happened that I'm dying to share with all two of you readers. ;)

We've finally done it! We've joined an elite group of fascinating individuals. We've talked about doing it on and off for a few years, and now, it's a done deal. We've joined...


























the rednecks a.k.a hillbillies! LOL

because we went and bought this


So, it's not exactly "stylin" but it is clean, and I think some updated curtains and covers for the mattresses, should make it look "classy" if you can even call a trailer that.

A friend of mine was selling it and D and I have been talking on and off for years about whether we should purchase one to go on regular camping trips during the summers. He had a motor caravan growing up, and my family had a camping van. Both of us have fond memories of all our travels.

The price was right and we knew it was in great condition, so we took the plunge! We just have to go out and get our SUV fitted for a hitch and then we can go and pick up this baby up.

Other not so good news....

It's been confirmed by our GP. Brad is definitely allergic to peanuts. The only positive thing is, it's a moderate and not a severe allergy like the allergist thought it might be. He is not allergic to cashews or hazelnuts (which are tree nuts). So, once his allergist is back from vacation, I will ask how/when we can test for all the other nuts. I am guessing that his last reaction he had was so severe because he had 4 peanuts, which must be a large amount when you're allergic.

Angelina is about to lose 2 more teeth! I can't believe how quickly my girl is growing up! Angelina's goldfish Goldie died a few weeks ago, so she just got a new albino angel fish she named Marshmallow. I am just grossed out with feeding this thing because it eats frozen blood worms - ICK!! I have to store this stuff in my freezer next to OUR food. Then after I chip a piece off with it's own dedicated worm spoon, Angelina feeds the fish and then I cringe at having to wash the spoon. If you haven't figured it out already, I am bug & worm-a-phobic. Although I have been getting better at killing bugs in the house. In the past, I was not be able to squish a spider. But now with a HUGE (I'm talking 1/4 roll) wad of toilet paper, I am able to successfully squish and flush those babies.

Here are a few recent pics of the kids. Taken by my friend when she and her friends came over for lunch and a swim.


Have to get lunch started and then run out and meet one of my girlfriends for our joint b-day lunch.

"Like Daddy"

Wow, has it been that long since I last posted?!?

Well, a lot has been happened since my last post. D got a new contract and took 1 week off. During that week, we went to a local fair twice (sorry, no pics! We tend to forget to bring the camera), an indoor play area, the Ontario Science Centre, swimming a few times, Chuck E. Cheese and bowling. We tried to do something fun with the kiddies each day when he was off. What a fun week it was!

Angelina has lost her first tooth!! The funny part is, she not only lost it from her mouth, but she really did LOSE it! She was so worried the tooth fairy wouldn't come without a tooth to put under her pillow. D wrote the tooth fairy a note saying she really did lose a tooth and to please leave her money. LOL Sure enough, the tooth fairy visited and left her $5. She woke up that night to go washroom and that is when we got her to check under her pillow. She was super thrilled and the look on her face was priceless. Another tooth is loose and she is eagerly waiting to lose it and get some more cash. Hee hee I asked her what she is going to buy with all her money. "CANDY!" she says. Of course! How silly of me to ask!

Brad is talking up a storm. I wanted to share this funny moment from a few days ago.

Brad: *fart*

Sonia: Brad!! What do you have to say? (I'm expecting to hear "excuse me")

Brad: Like Daddy!

Sonia: *laughing so hard I almost pee*

My jewellry collection is selling like hotcakes at the salon. I can hardly believe it!! In two weeks, I have had 3 orders from the owner. I'm a bit stressed, but I am liking the extra change in my wallet. What I don't like is the constant feeling of being behind on orders and having to pull all nighters to get the order done. UGH! I am getting too old to stay up all night. I'm sure it will eventually slow down...until then, I am just going for the ride.

I signed up for the next level jewellery course for Sept. Can't wait!!

Angelina has dance camp all next week. She's going to be learning ballet, jazz and hip hop. She's excited since she's been watching a little of So You Think You Can Dance with us when it was on.

I am finally getting Brad's allergy results this Wed. His allergist is on holiday, but our GP said he would tell us the results. It will be good to finally know what we are dealing with. I will LMAO if it comes back that he isn't allergic to peanuts. I hope that will be the case, but I'm not so sure.

Some excellent news!! My cousin and his wife are finally expecting!! They have been trying for over 2 years. She's in her 2nd trimester now and they are moving into their new home at the end of this month. Two reason for them to celebrate. :)

Here are some semi-recent pics of the kiddies. Sorry if some are blurry!


Angelina made some sweat bands for herself.

Here I am helping Brad put the ball on that thing that little kids use for bowling

Here's my hunny bowling. Nice butt, eh? ;)


I hope to post more frequently, but no promises. Haha
