The Day Project Zero website has been down since right before Christmas so I haven't been able to keep track of my list.... which I've know learnt that I should keep a hard copy. I was able to email the creator and they have sent me a copy of my list - Thank God.
Looking back at my list I've been able to scratch a few more things off my list! Yahoooo Me!
9 - Make home gifts for Piper's daycare friends:
Completed for Christmas time - Piper and I sat down with pipecleaners and made each child a homemade Christmas tree ornament - It was fun but I little more difficult to keep Piper's attention on what we were doing. I'm considering this task complate but plan on continuing making gifts for her friends.
35 - Go an entire weekend (Fri-Sun) without ordering take-out:
This task is a little harder when leaving with Chris. Chris likes to think that Sundays our Pizza Sundays! But since Christmas we have actually probably done 3 weekends without ordering anything. This past weekend was one of them. My wallet sure does like this task!
57 - Become a indeterminate AS-02:
I officially became an AS02 as of January 10, 2011!! I'm very proud of myself and it didn't take as long as I thought it would. I applied for the competition back in May 2009, aced the exam and interview. A previous Director that I worked for, heard I was in a PHAC pool and she was able to do a non-advertised appointment process to bring me in at Health Canada. I'm very forturnate she went through the hard work to get me in here. I'm currently still in the PHAC pool and have been getting phone calls for interviews for the last 3 weeks!
60. Invite family over for brunch:
As you know, I'm not the best cook and I really do not enjoy cooking. So it is rare that we invite family over, espicially Chris' side of the family. I'm pretty lucky when I invite my side of the family over, Jean-Claude ends up doing the all the cooking. Christmas morning, we invited Chris' parents over for brunch - they are alone Christmas morning. I think it was a huge success... we had the usual, eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, juice/milk/coffee. I think we might make it a new tradition! who knows...
71. Join Weight Watchers:
I just signed up yesterday and my first week starts next Thursday, February 10th! I'm very eager to start it but still a little worried that I might fall of the wagon! I've joined through work, so I will be able to go to the meetings during lunch hour! Very excited! I'm hoping this will help me with task # 13 and lose 15lbs! Good Luck to me!
76. Finish Christmas shopping before December 24th:
This year I was done shopping way before the 24th but of course I still purchased a few items on December 23rd! It was very non-stressful time of year, and i'm hoping I will be able to do the same for x-mas 2011, I've already bought and put away one present for next year alrighty...
Wow 6 tasks completed in only a couple of months! I think i'm doing good!

Jayden
It's not the best picture but this all I have for right now (well with me at work - sorry)
Piper, big brother Owen and new baby Jayden
I should mention that there is a tiny little baby named Hailey (one of our friends daughters) that goes to Piper's daycare - so everytime someone mentions a baby - Piper automatically says baby Hailey!
So poor Jayden, is being called Hailey by Piper!

This morning, for some apparent reason Piper woke-up and found me in the bathroom. She stood quietly at the bathroom door as I put on my make-up... she watched me closely and as soon as I was done applying my fondation... I heard a little voice say 'Me too, Mommy' - she walked over to me and stood on her little stool and I pretended to put fondation on her.
Then I applied some blush on my cheeks while she watched and when I went to put away the blush the little voice said again 'Me too, Mommy' - so I took out the little brush and swept the blush on her cheeks. This time I got a little 'Thank you, Mommy' when I was done.
I went on to put masacra and I knew she was going to ask, so before she had the chance I asked her if she would like some masacra, she of course said yes! I closed the masacra and pretended to put some on her eyelashes - she stayed very still!
I said all done, and she looked so happy and proud that she was wearing make-up.
Even though, I'm so proud of Piper. She's talking to so much, she's becoming little miss independent! I'm really sad that my baby girl is growing so fast!
But moments like this morning make me sit back and think about how great it's going to be when she's a bit older so we will be able to enjoy shopping trips and just enjoy the mother-daughter bonding moments!

New Baby
**** Just a quick update, that they decided to name the new baby Jayden and the best part is that Chris and I were asked to be godparents ****
*** Also, I'm still waiting for the new parents to upload there pictures so I can share one of my pictures, I promise if they don't upload any pictures by the end of the weekend, I WILL ***
I'm a brand new auntie to a healthy baby boy!
That's right my sister-in law and hubby had there 3rd son lastnight January 27th just before 7pm.
I have yet to see him and anxiously waiting for work to be done - so I can go visit the wee little man.
As far as I know he currently still does not have a name - but i'm sure his parents are trying to find the most suitable name for him or maybe waiting for Owen and Bradly to go the hospital and help with the final decision?!?!?
Baby Lance weighed a healthy 9lbs 15oz and 22.5 inches long! He might be built like his daddy for sure!
I'm update once I have a name and picutre!!

Being an Aunt Rocks
I love love love being a mother, and I think i'm doing a pretty good job at it.
But, if there is one role that I have and I know i'm pretty awesome at it and that's being an AUNT!!
I love, love, love being an aunt! It truly is a great feeling on how fast and how much you can love someone from the moment they are born when technically they aren't even yours. I love being the cool aunt, that takes care of them, brings them places, spoils them and of course, teaches them one or two things that their parents wouldn't!
And hopefully before the day is through, I will be auntie again! This time, it's my sister in-law in labour (hopefully by now, she was scheduled to be at the hospital for 8am to be induced) and I have no idea if I'll have another nephew or maybe another niece! I truly, don't get which one it is but I'm looking forward to finding out the gender and of course the name!
Roxanne already has two boys, Owen and Bradly so of course, it would be nice if she has a little girl. And if this baby does decide to be a little girl, that will give Piper a total of 2 girl cousins! Which would be pretty cool. As of right now, Piper has 1 girl cousin Ruby and 5 boy cousins Owen, Bradly, Memphis, Easton and Mason.
Come on baby!

Euchre Tournament
My mother's side of the family is hosting a Euchre Tournament this upcoming Saturday in Aylmer.
Chris and I were invited to play, which we gladly said yes too but the only little problem is that I have no idea how to play Euchre - my card games consist of go fish, war, memory - that's about it! Chris said that he was going to teach me and well it is now Tuesday and I haven't learnt a thing. I've resorted to the following website http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euchre
We will be drawing our partners by random so I'm already starting to feel really bad for whoever is stuck with me! Keeping my fingers crossed that I get someone that won't get to mad when we lose horribly in the first round.
On the other hand, I'm looking forward to the homemade spaghetti dinner and garlic bread! Yum!
Kids aren't not allowed at this tournament so I really appreciate that my big sis has agreed to watch Piper Saturday and most likely overnight!!
