Oh Boy ! That was not really a relaxing rip. But we did have a great time and the weather was so nice. The babies did very well on their first plane rides. I was impressed. Hugo was really excited. We were supposed to arrive in Disney at around 2pm but because our plane was late we did get there at 8pm... First thing Hugo wanted to do : go to the Lego shop :) He did mangae to wait till the next day though.<br /><br />Hugo loved the Lego shop (of course), taking the monorail, the Dinosaur ride (Even though he was scared), the Snow White ride, the fireworks, the Lights, Motor, Action Extreme Stunt show, the Pirates of the Carribean ride, the princesses (he kept telling me how cute they were) and mostly everything he saw :) He did go into Soarin' and Splash Mountain... which I thought he would be scared, but no :)<br /><br />Felix loved the It's a Small World ride. He was scared of everything dark and/or loud (so mostly everything else). He didn't like the characters, but he didn't mind the princesses.<br /><br />Laurie loved everything that made music. She was really the party girl, dancing to everything and not wanting to sleep ever :) She didn't like the characters as well.<br /><br />All in all, we had fun. We did go to the parks every day, so that was really tiring. The babies slept way less than usual, but hopefully they'll catch up in a few days. The last day we all got sick... everyone but Hugo. So it was not a really pleasant flight. But now that we are back home, it doesn't seem so bad :)<br /><br />Here are a few pics, there are more on my facebook page since it's faster to download them there : <a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=91616&l=5785d&id=1040880102">http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=91616&l=5785d&id=1040880102</a></span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjsxiVueUaVKqjP3iFfT_GPh-jYFRWCGenfA-MBP9X7LwaOQl98rUNp5YdcU5YOHDNzSp_cZ2Voh8RzdHTO_AntHDt5pLoeD-21N5opCKEDvxtZBr5WFMZ4mBJ5_oAIoKQ4KjW/s1600-h/112.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287083701013983154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjsxiVueUaVKqjP3iFfT_GPh-jYFRWCGenfA-MBP9X7LwaOQl98rUNp5YdcU5YOHDNzSp_cZ2Voh8RzdHTO_AntHDt5pLoeD-21N5opCKEDvxtZBr5WFMZ4mBJ5_oAIoKQ4KjW/s400/112.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw6lSsuZ48zPKAP1JIoBe9KksVif-3P3ywS1d_he8PwVfuyAR8BjZ58jKnduLq8KCPeSgpjxm4VoELdOgpeYJZmvXEBucyIK-UR2FjtFdu_1UIHCDfBXAv4dPmXJVr3oWnuGOV/s1600-h/117.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287083695705954482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw6lSsuZ48zPKAP1JIoBe9KksVif-3P3ywS1d_he8PwVfuyAR8BjZ58jKnduLq8KCPeSgpjxm4VoELdOgpeYJZmvXEBucyIK-UR2FjtFdu_1UIHCDfBXAv4dPmXJVr3oWnuGOV/s400/117.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtymn56PftoRa6r-ojOk0f7Cf9ILXbAjnS3hGFMKcTNyhIi6C-mKzvO3X3JkmbAgzAY4pxuypNx4HfKcIUV8NXQHp0xY5JoJ8BgzxcylcYjWtmAizlojZghC314T-M_oSg1FC9/s1600-h/077.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287083691471931522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtymn56PftoRa6r-ojOk0f7Cf9ILXbAjnS3hGFMKcTNyhIi6C-mKzvO3X3JkmbAgzAY4pxuypNx4HfKcIUV8NXQHp0xY5JoJ8BgzxcylcYjWtmAizlojZghC314T-M_oSg1FC9/s400/077.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0NmViJ5e2CBNOiNLI6gvr1wIl9wDZfckIyqq8CFdeVDcfFkP7YZdhQyfIx2ePP_5L-_BA1GVQQ-LyJMcZBi9cSxtl_IWIuFlgz4iTsRCCjTlRe6WAvZx-bI4klGTrHPTS-9Ft/s1600-h/038.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287083682286737346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0NmViJ5e2CBNOiNLI6gvr1wIl9wDZfckIyqq8CFdeVDcfFkP7YZdhQyfIx2ePP_5L-_BA1GVQQ-LyJMcZBi9cSxtl_IWIuFlgz4iTsRCCjTlRe6WAvZx-bI4klGTrHPTS-9Ft/s400/038.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkFnxzIWOvT36uUdqZY_rysdVMK2cy1vAyR1LjGutdbpjZv7CPtYpaEpJ6_sJEOqbkgGO4Yp3-QUMkN47Vq3doRJPgEMQb9b_z_1Sb8Qkfv4XAx_KoQvW8-_d5I0B9yRQeoBbI/s1600-h/010.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287083668874221074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkFnxzIWOvT36uUdqZY_rysdVMK2cy1vAyR1LjGutdbpjZv7CPtYpaEpJ6_sJEOqbkgGO4Yp3-QUMkN47Vq3doRJPgEMQb9b_z_1Sb8Qkfv4XAx_KoQvW8-_d5I0B9yRQeoBbI/s400/010.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>Melhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07089328969876528282noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16842341.post-79217629256215649512008-11-11T06:41:00.004-05:002008-11-11T16:53:20.047-05:00Happy First Birthday to my babies !!!<span style="font-family:verdana;">Almost one year ago I was so nervous, anxious, excited and big !! I told my husband on the way to the hospital : "You know, life will never be the same again". And you know what, I was right. It has been an amazing year, filled with joy and happiness as well as restless nights and a bit of sadness (acknowledging that I'll never be pregnant again :( ). Everyday I am thankful to be the mother of three beautiful, healthy children. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Here's Laurie's first picture. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCM237IwrqN_7TbJ1MrgHeIfyDyxsThjgayzfg8n5m3a05wyn1D1CJ17QCygjUA4qqMkm3N_FJmuEqfQP8Zju9R-ITE7vnhvgSUaeBrIZbxdFOd71AJO5_HyGh8GNeeNMEkP_a/s1600-h/012.JPG"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267365632304192850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCM237IwrqN_7TbJ1MrgHeIfyDyxsThjgayzfg8n5m3a05wyn1D1CJ17QCygjUA4qqMkm3N_FJmuEqfQP8Zju9R-ITE7vnhvgSUaeBrIZbxdFOd71AJO5_HyGh8GNeeNMEkP_a/s400/012.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;"><br />And here's Felix's first picture :<br /><br /></span><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYLy-NpLKaFN8Rp2VmFNNm2iSyEJrSk8XwB2bIAOvjOYhtPhJYgr_gTxwA8mtf2WnHoRAMrGkzlfhsrMKf7uCQkbW4jBCxDJusFZwebras3Hw4zsz3B16xxKNziNCXh4Lharnj/s1600-h/011.JPG"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267365628041542546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYLy-NpLKaFN8Rp2VmFNNm2iSyEJrSk8XwB2bIAOvjOYhtPhJYgr_gTxwA8mtf2WnHoRAMrGkzlfhsrMKf7uCQkbW4jBCxDJusFZwebras3Hw4zsz3B16xxKNziNCXh4Lharnj/s400/011.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;"><br /><br /><br /><br /></span><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3798Rhcno921aeoyeP8YfVvpcEvlRPefNbs6au5U2W704xe_JoxXeLiqSybXI0FSpiXp9ktyooYssQ539jdIZpe-z-t6eR_BKZHZXPf5z5M7iIb_BchIxb-X2WbDxCOYdDGf6/s1600-h/017.JPG"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267365618876269714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3798Rhcno921aeoyeP8YfVvpcEvlRPefNbs6au5U2W704xe_JoxXeLiqSybXI0FSpiXp9ktyooYssQ539jdIZpe-z-t6eR_BKZHZXPf5z5M7iIb_BchIxb-X2WbDxCOYdDGf6/s400/017.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;"><br />And here they are a year later :<br /><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaiky1zVl3hP616ymD3Nr0Hrf1mSsNiesd_gMCiM9KhQQBZfw2yF_pTOqqy3qHChZxNwq4KAu51oZQWJ5Rb3_ULBZOBtZFV4V-B3KgV9dOTmI2H6JDJ9Oh7X67npihyphenhyphenp2pM9B3/s1600-h/048.JPG"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267365647069635938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaiky1zVl3hP616ymD3Nr0Hrf1mSsNiesd_gMCiM9KhQQBZfw2yF_pTOqqy3qHChZxNwq4KAu51oZQWJ5Rb3_ULBZOBtZFV4V-B3KgV9dOTmI2H6JDJ9Oh7X67npihyphenhyphenp2pM9B3/s400/048.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifdYlkrww_mXZwRy5QFaDUbXGth_luDPCEq0jNp2vGMovlHd6eXWFb2NUcIggbHcOd76bwXDtk3qIEHFTxiDSURMK9v41mqsoJUfjYaERq6w170j8f8BeMYmUrpka7PkfIBVWN/s1600-h/049.JPG"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267365640639635618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifdYlkrww_mXZwRy5QFaDUbXGth_luDPCEq0jNp2vGMovlHd6eXWFb2NUcIggbHcOd76bwXDtk3qIEHFTxiDSURMK9v41mqsoJUfjYaERq6w170j8f8BeMYmUrpka7PkfIBVWN/s400/049.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;"><br />Everyday I'm amazed just looking at them. Felix is such a climber. We always find him up on some table or chair or emptying the cupboards or drawers. He also can be found playing in the toilet bowl (that's my favorite !!). He has four teeth and he's repeating a lot of the things we say (or he's trying... mostly sounds like gaga, but still... he tries). Felix doesn't really have a favorite toy, but he sure does like to follow Hugo around and play with whatever Hugo's playing with.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;">Laurie is more laid back. She lets people come to her instead of going to them. She is just starting to push herself up. She's a cuddler, whenever she's in my arms, she just hugs me and gives me kisses. She's the sweetest. She understands a lot of what we're saying. She still has no teeth and almost no hair (what's up with that lol !!!) Her favorite toys are the Little People figurines. She loves playing with those.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;">Tomorrow they'll be one year old...

I can almost see my house from the office (it's that close !!) and I'll come home at lunch time and I can do house work. I won't have to drive an hour in traffic everyday !

I so wish I could see what's ahead to make a decision. </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">I went on a job interview this morning. I got offered a job a minute away from my house. The hours are perfect for me, pay is a bit more than what I used to have. The only thing bugging me is that the employer is a good friend of ours. He's a bit anxious too, cause he doesn't want anything getting out of the office. But he does know what I'm capable of doing and he knows that he can trust me. On the other hand, I've been working for the inlaws for 11 years, I feel almost unfaithful taking another job. I don't want to disappoint them.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">I told my friend I would give him my decision tomorrow. </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">What should I do ???

I went to my parents' this morning to spend the day, like I usually do when I'm alone with the kiddos. Hugo, who is in general really sweet and nice was not behaving really nicely. He was loud and all over the place, lifting the babies up and taking everything they were playing with. My brother, his girlfriend and my two nieces also came over my parents' for dinner. After dinner, his girlfriend was trying to put my niece down for a nap and Hugo was still very loud. Nothing very unusual but he was starting to get on everyone's nerves. I kept hearing my two brothers saying : "Hugo, stop !" and after a while I just put Hugo in time out, for actually no reason at all. He was just being excited I guess. I felt like such a failure as a mom, like I can't control my own kid. After that, I just stopped talking, packed all the stuff, the kids and left. I didn't even clean up the table and pick up the toys like I normally do. As we were leaving, I asked Hugo why he was behaving that way, how come he can't be nice and sweet when there's other people around (like he is when we're alone) and you know what he tells me... Mom, you know that I'm a bad boy. I just started crying. I don't even know if he realizes what it means really, and I don't know who told him that, but I couldn't stop crying (and still can't). I mean, why would he think that ? I tried to tell him that he's the one who decides to be nice or bad... that he knows what to do to be nice and just do it. Anyways, after bathing all 3 kiddos and giving the babies their bottles and putting them to bed, he just sat down on my lap, read his stories and went to bed... being sweet and nice as he usually is. I don't know how come he behaves like that when we are visiting someone or when there's someone over.<br /><br />Bruno called me up also and he didn't have a good day as well. He went to dinner with his dad when he arrived in Virginia and they had a very extensive talk about the companies. Bruno's family has 2 companies, one in Quebec and one in the States. They were supposed to complete each other, but now they are just competing with one another. They produce the same stuff and a lot of expenses of the Virginia company is paid by the Qc one. Of course, on paper, it looks like the Qc's company is going down and my FIL (who's quite delusional) wants to shut it down or it'll go in bankcruptcy. Bruno was shaking still from everything his dad said when he called me. I HATE stuff like that, I HATE family business and I HATE uncertain future.<br /><br />Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.</span>Melhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07089328969876528282noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16842341.post-5079507924885538632008-09-10T12:15:00.003-04:002008-09-10T12:25:08.558-04:00New pics<span style="font-family:verdana;">I always knew this day would come, but never thought it was this close.

Saturday morning I went to Toys 'r Us with my younger brother. I'm almost finished with the twins' birthday and the kids' Christmas gifts (yay!) On Saturday night, we were invited to some friends' house for dinner along with another couple and their kids. They have an almost 4 years-old son so Hugo was quite happy to play with him. It got quite loud though. Hugo was worn out at the end of the evening. On Sunday morning we went to Wal-Mart & Canadian Tire and on Sunday night we went to dinner at my parents'. Now I'm just back from shopping (I know, again) with a friend of mine and her son who's 9 days older than the twins.

Seriously, do you know anyone who would pay $385 for a pair of Jimmy Choo metallic leather flats ? (and those are reasonably priced... there are way more expensive shoes out there). Sure, they're cute, but they're still shoes :)<br /></span><div></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;">I also really really like this bag by Michael Kors, but at $698, I don't think so :)</span></div><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk8qx9D76RN3lNomQNGwUe_avun9f8gBRZMbqnfe10C4JXLleEV1dUef-g61EixTkIqrwtCkvdlTBnzkULZgfr4WsJSLXGPvPDWvEXGHcqrHbc78MfPk7AuacBxdsefIpoNInD/s1600-h/MKV071S_mn.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242587927938895026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk8qx9D76RN3lNomQNGwUe_avun9f8gBRZMbqnfe10C4JXLleEV1dUef-g61EixTkIqrwtCkvdlTBnzkULZgfr4WsJSLXGPvPDWvEXGHcqrHbc78MfPk7AuacBxdsefIpoNInD/s400/MKV071S_mn.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span></div><div></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;">My latest cheap discovery this summer was Steve and Barry's (</span><a href="http://www.steveandbarrys.com/"><span style="font-family:verdana;">http://www.steveandbarrys.com/</span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;">).

Ideas ??<span style="font-family:verdana;">I'm starting to make the kids' Christmas gifts list (I know... already :) !) And it's also the twins' birthday in November. Everyone keeps asking me for ideas and I don't know what they want :)</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">So far, I got for Hugo the Lego Fire Station (he's been wanting it for soooo long). He'll get money from my MIL & FIL so he can go to the Lego shop in Disney and choose his own gift. My parents will get him clothes and a tractor, my brother (his godfather) will get him ice skates and my aunt (who gives gifts to all the grandkids) will probably get him a board game.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">For the babies, I'm stuck.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">I've bought Laurie the Little People castle (since it was on sale) and I want to get Felix the Little People race track (if I can find it - they didn't have it at Toys 'r us when I went). I've been looking at the Laugh and Learn purse and tool kit as well. So that will cover MY gifts.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Now I need to find something from : my parents, my IL's, their godparents, my brother and my aunt. For their birthday and for Christmas ! Ideas anyone ??? What gifts did your kids absolutely adore ?</span>Melhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07089328969876528282noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16842341.post-53172639585950696562008-09-02T06:42:00.003-04:002008-09-02T06:48:06.005-04:00Labor Day Weekend<span style="font-family:verdana;">We went camping this labor day weekend and we had so much fun. On Sunday we went to the Granby Zoo and Hugo had a blast. He saw all the animals, sat in a jeep with a gorilla (there was a window in between them) and fed goats and pigs. The babies weren't really impressed as they slept most of the time :)</span>Melhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07089328969876528282noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16842341.post-73660226622410149912008-08-22T14:51:00.002-04:002008-08-22T15:05:51.104-04:00Happy Birthday to Me :)<span style="font-family:verdana;">Today is my birthday. I'm 34, I cannot believe I'm almost half-way through the thirties :( Anyways, I got a lot of phone calls and emails from my family and friends, which is very nice. My mom and aunt even came over and brought me a moccachino cake and a box of chocolates; do they know me or what ? ;) While I would have appreciated that they scrubbed my floors(Laurie spits up all the time and I was in the middle of cleaning up the house), I guess that I'll be able to eat some cake and chocolate since I burnt a lot of calories scrubbing the floors all over the house and I did go on a 50 minutes walk this morning :)</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">However, I'm a bit disappointed. Last night, one of my best friends called to postpone our spa day till October, so I had to call the spa today and have them change our appointments. So I left her a message this morning to tell her everything was ok and when she called me back she didn't even mention my birthday :( Best friend indeed.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">On a happier note, I have this pair of capri pants that I just love and I had them for quite a while. Well, today I noticed that I don't even have to unbutton them to put them on and off ! Yay !</span>Melhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07089328969876528282noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16842341.post-29866623581459492632008-08-19T15:25:00.002-04:002008-08-19T15:46:06.471-04:00I <3 Shopping !<span style="font-family:verdana;">I went shopping today with my mom and I just love it. I bought snowsuits for Laurie and Hugo. Poor Felix ! He always gets Hugo's hand-me-downs so I rarely buy him new clothes, but once in a while he gets new stuff. I guess when he's old enough to notice it, I won't have the choice :) We also went to Tommy Hilfiger and summer clothes were 60% off. I bought lots of stuff so I guess I won't have anything to buy for next summer :) I bought Laurie the cutest bathing suit. I just can't wait for her to wear it.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">On another note, Felix cut his second tooth today. It's the other bottom one. Poor little guy, he's been miserable for a few nights, I guess now that it's out, he'll be better.</span>Melhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07089328969876528282noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16842341.post-46332651407710056632008-08-14T14:58:00.002-04:002008-08-14T15:02:18.937-04:00Another cute Hugo moment :)<span style="font-family:verdana;">Hugo has a timer in his room which I set up sometimes when I want to do something with him, like I'll play legos with him for 10 minutes before he goes to bed. So this afternoon, while the babies were napping, I had to clean the upstairs part of the house. I told him he could watch a DVD or play on the computer or play quietly in his room. He decided to play in his room. After a while he came to me with his timer and said : "Mommy, I'll set the timer and when it goes off, you'll have to be finished with cleaning". I found him too cute !</span>Melhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07089328969876528282noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16842341.post-92069317027840257822008-08-14T06:51:00.002-04:002008-08-14T06:55:37.849-04:00No naps for Hugo - Day 1<span style="font-family:verdana;">Lately Hugo has been very hard to put to bed. He would go on and on... wanting another story, going to the bathroom, wanting some water, wanting hugs and kisses (how can you refuse that ? lol). I would put him to bed at around 8:15 and wouldn't sleep till 9:30-10. So yesterday, I told his babysitter not to force him to take naps. He did sit on the couch and watched tv a bit, then went to play with the other kids. But he was asleep by 8:30 last night. *Sigh* it looks like my "free" afternoons are over :)</span>Melhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07089328969876528282noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16842341.post-77731650752268417922008-08-12T11:49:00.004-04:002008-08-12T12:03:36.277-04:009 months !<span style="font-family:verdana;">I cannot believe Felix and Laurie are 9 months today ! When did they grow up ? It seems like I just had them yesterday :) They're all over the place these days. They keep following each other and interacting together. It is just the cutest thing. And they discovered door stoppers.... (don't mind the annoying voice). My house is a total mess, but I love every minute of watching them grow.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzonCOGBPKEsNm48V4eiSJXVPlV5SpMbmZKyOfs7plVgOj8C6hb8zuH3Ho0PXxrT2AkT7EyIfqtgWA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Melhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07089328969876528282noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16842341.post-82144563047638203462008-08-07T15:04:00.003-04:002008-08-07T15:09:57.890-04:00What made me happy today<span style="font-family:verdana;">I'm feeling quite happy today and those are the reasons why :<br /><br />* This morning I was trying to get Hugo to dress and I was rushing him a bit. He turned around and he told me : "Mommy, you should try to enjoy life a little". He made me laugh so hard and he was so cute.<br /><br />* My best friend and I are planning a day at a spa for our birthdays (hers was last Monday, mine in a couple of weeks). I just can't wait to go.<br /><br />* I went to my parents this morning and weighed myself. Even though we were on vacation, I still lost 4 pounds in the past 4 weeks.

Aaaawww I cannot believe that they are growing so fast. They'll be 9 months next week. And now they are both saying papa and mama, or some version of it :)</span></div></div>Melhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07089328969876528282noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16842341.post-75192654825735643112008-07-31T14:20:00.005-04:002008-07-31T15:10:32.044-04:00Home... not today :(<span style="font-family:verdana;">We had a blast in Virginia Beach. Hugo loved playing in the sand, the ocean and try to capture crabs. The babies loved sleeping on the beach. I cannot wait to download the pictures. Unfortunately it won't be today :( We left Virginia Beach this morning at 2am. Things were going great, there was no traffic, the kids were all sleeping. At around 9:30 am, Bruno started to notice that his truck was losing power. We found a Ford dealer on the GPS and were heading that way. At the end of the exit, the truck completely stopped. Bruno took a look at it, went to the garage to get a part and tried to repair it, but it didn't start. So we had to have it towed. Hugo loved that part, he keeps saying Mater came to tow us. So here we are now, parked in the dealer's parking lot in Shippensburg, PA, waiting for a part that is supposed to arrive tomorrow. After that, it'll take around 4 hours to repair it. The dealer was nice enough to allow us to plug our trailer so we have a/c and we will sleep here. He also lent us a car so we can go and have dinner later (and hopefully shopping a bit... there has to be a bright side to this). With my laptop, I was able to find a wireless connection, so here I am, playing on the internet and drinking a Rockstar Roasted Latte (very good by the way) while the kids are sleeping. Hopefully next time I'll update we'll be home sweet home.<br /><br />On a another note... Felix cut his first tooth last week, on July 26th. It's the bottom right one. Poor little guy... it's been hurting for weeks :) He also started saying "Mama" while we were on vacation. He is indeed saying Mamamamamamama... Laurie has been saying "Papapapa" (daddy in french) for over a month. They are so funny !</span>Melhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07089328969876528282noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16842341.post-14856323180770222322008-07-23T09:44:00.004-04:002008-07-23T09:56:33.214-04:00Virginia Beach, here we come !! (Almost)<span style="font-family:verdana;">I cannot wait to leave Brookneal (even though it's not that bad) and be on "vacation". I don't know if it'll be one with 3 kids, but still it'll be a change :) We're leaving Friday afternoon to go to Virginia Beach and we should be back home (finally) on Friday August 1st. We should be hitting the beach on most days and go shopping on most nights (hopefully), and we'll try to go visit the Virginia Beach Aquarium if we have time.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">The kids really did good while we were here. I thought they'd lose their schedule, but not that much. They're all sleeping and napping well, which is good. Hopefully the trip back home won't be too hard for them. </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span>Melhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07089328969876528282noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16842341.post-81283282434630733772008-07-17T13:28:00.003-04:002008-07-17T13:32:54.967-04:00They're crawling !!!<span style="font-family:verdana;">Yes, the twins are now crawling. sigh ! I thought they started a few weeks ago at home when I didn't find them in the spot I put them, but today is the first day that I actually saw them crawl. Felix is even pushing up on all fours. Now things are gonna get fun :)<br /><br />On a side note... even though I absolutely adore the warmth and sun of the South... my hair doesn't. I can't get it to do anything decent. So apparently for the rest of our trip, I'll be dealing with really frizzy, bad hair :)</span>Melhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07089328969876528282noreply@blogger.com2
