...through my windows that is :)
We have been having such nice weather and looking out those dirty winter windows were driving me in sane. I dug out my rags and sprays and outside I went. And now I can actually see outside without staring at spots.
Making me wish for Summer that much more. I can't get over how beautiful it has been. All the storms and rain have done nothing but by pass us. Like I have mentioned before, I am not complaining, trust me! But because of having very little snow this year and no signs of rain, our wells are drying up. Of course this is something that I never gave much thought to until someone told me. So we are in desperate need of some rain!

As I promised, I have some pictures of Abby's room so far. Keep in mind, it's still a work in progress. I am STILL WAITING FOR THE CROWN MOLDING TO GO UP! The last time the contractor talked to hubby, he said two weeks. This week is the two week. I pray he will come soon so I can get Abby's room and the rest of the house back to normal. My house is so small that when any room is out of order, the whole house looks a mess. And a mess, I can not handle!

Here we are looking in to her room from the hall...as you can see it's not a bright pink but pink enough to make a little girl happy.
There still is furniture missing, I figured there was no sense of putting it all back in until all the molding is done because really, it all will be in the way. I am also thinking of getting a beige carpet. I think it will help the final look.

This was a blanket that my MIL made Abby for Christmas. All the grandchildren got one made with material that matches what the kids liked. And as you all can see, Abby is a Hannah Montana freak :)
I actually have been making a list of things that I want to make for a craft show for later this Fall and was thinking about making these blankets to sell. They are quick and easy to make and the material over in Maine is dirt cheap compared to what we pay here in Canada. They even have prim colors and I know I could sell them with no problem. They are so comfy and warm to cuddle with and that is what Abby loves most :)

Here is another angle...
Hubby built the corner shelving with pegs when we moved in 6 years ago. It holds a ton of things!
The room is not prim at all like I wish I could have done it up as but I have one happy little girl. Every night when she goes to bed, she tells me how much she loves her bedroom. And that alone makes mommy happy :)

I had to take a picture of this cute little flower that Abby won at a Baby Shower that she went to with my MIL. It's a solar flower, so during the day the little leaves move up and down and then at night it sits still. It's so cute and the colors are perfect for her room.
So besides cleaning the windows and painting Abby's room, I was tending to a really bad cold. It all started in the chest and then in a few days it moved up to my nose. I was so congested and my sinus were plugged that I was even getting headaches. Sadly I couldn't rest much since I had Dr Appointments Wed and Thus in another town. All I wanted to do was stay in PJ's all day and do nothing. Come Friday, I felt horrible but that couldn't stop me. Tabitha had a concert with all the other children that take singing lessons. The theme this year was 'Canada Is', some songs that the kids sang back when the Torch went through our town and other songs. The kids did such a awesome job! Tabitha sang her solo 'Paquetville', a french folk art song by Edith Butler and might I say mommy was sitting in the audience with a very proud smile on my face :))))

Here Tab is sitting in the front with blond hair singing a few songs with the Choir that she is also part of. The girls were so good.
Another show has come and gone and now she prepares for the 'Victoria Music Festival'. It will be a busy two weeks for her preparing for competitions but I know she will do awesome. She enjoys performing so much.

And of course since we had the camera out taking pics of Tab, Abby wanted her picture taken. Right now she looks funny missing three teeth. It seems like all her teeth are falling up one after another.
I also promised to keep you all posted on my MIL...she was scheduled March 10th for her surgery but when the 9th came, she received a phone call stating that they had to cancel her surgery because the operating room had flooded. Something about water pipes breaking. I felt so bad for her because she prepared herself for the big day mentally, cleaned the house all up, prepared extra meals for FIL because he would be home alone and so much more. On top of that hubby's sister had her flight all booked and had to cancel. And because she cancelled she had a $150 fine and it didn't matter that she would be re-booking later. That was not fair!

On Friday MIL received the call that her surgery has been rescheduled for the 7th of April. Her birthday is on the 3rd so we are planning a trip to the Sugar Camp and then a big family supper because after that she will be out of order for lord knows how long. We are still praying that the cancer has not spread but we will only know when they do the surgery. She was explaining to me that she will have a incision from the cavity of her chest all the way to her bikini line. The reason for that is because they will be taking a piece of each organ inside to test and make sure the cancer did not spread. So it will be a intense surgery and of course time will be required for her to heal.

And then hubby had a interview last Tuesday and he doesn't think it went all that good. He was very nervous and didn't answer some of the questions the way he should have. But it's like he said, the last time he went through a interview he was 15 years old. So it's been quite a few years. Poor guy! So we still have our fingers and toes crossed for something to come up. As soon as May 1st comes, he no longer has a job :(

Of course there is so much more but I will not get into all of it because you'll be reading into the next week...LOL. The past couple of weeks, my head has been spinning, I don't know if I am coming or going. So to keep this brain of mine busy and not thinking, I have been working on my Genealogy. I have been finding a slew of information, it's just like Christmas :) I have also been in contact with a few distant cousins and am enjoying hearing their stories how their families lived and when they moved from Quebec to the States. History...ahhhh that I love!

Well I must run for now so I can check in on some blogs before I hit the hay. I am up and at it tomorrow, first thing off to the hairdresser. I am in need of a trim.

So until next time...enjoy all this nice weather for it's officially Spring :) I am hoping to start a cross stitch, so hopefully when I come back I will have something to show.
