Well if you check into my blog at all you will notice that I haven't blogged since March of last year. I didn't realize how long it has been. I am going to follow a page from a friend of mine Roslyn, and try to post something everyday for the month of December. Owen has been the most sick he has ever been, this week. Wednesday night, he vomited out of nowhere in the kitchen and then went to bed at 6pm. He woke at midnight and proceeded to vomit every 10-15 minutes after until 6am. He was still vomiting most of Thursday and slept the whole day today. He hasn't eaten since Wednesday at noon and it is a great victory when we get him to have 2tbsp of liquid. I hope he is better tomorrow. I miss my unique, energetic boy. It is my Christmas party tomorrow. In typical Chantal fashion, I did not buy a new dress but a new pair of shoes rather. I will post a picture tomorrow. Boris and I never go on dates so I am extremely excited. I may even try to get him to dance (I can hope). Christmas is coming and I am slowly getting excited. One of our traditions is to make cinnamon buns on the eve and cook them in the morning but I have asked Roslyn to give me her recipe because everything she makes is so tasty. Speaking of tasty, I am doing a cookie exchange at work and I need to make 8 dozen cookies. I am going to make my family's fav...my chocolate chip stuffed Oreo cookies. I will make sure I make plenty to leave at home to or the boys will surely attack me before I leave the house. Our Christmas tree reflects our family so much that I have to smile every time I look at it. Every year we buy the kids a ornament each and we try to reflect what they are into that year. The goal is when they move out, they will have ornaments from their whole life thus far. We have their ornaments, Boris' Flames/drums/gene Simmons ornaments and I have my Disney/Starbucks/shoe ornaments. But the best is the fact that we have a Sin Cara mask as our tree topper...only at the Norris house. Anyway, my hubby looks very comfy so I am going to go and cuddle with him while we catch up on this weeks PVRd shows. Till Tomorrow

Ok so the summer has come and gone and I have really neglected my blog. The summer held lots of fun times and we went on an amazing summer holiday with Braden and Jon. Owen stayed home this time. We went on a road trip to Las Vegas, Coronado Bay, San Diego, Los Angeles, Anaheim. We had so much fun. A few weekends ago we went to Jurassic Forest . This place was very neat. All three kids loved it. It is set up so that you can walk around on these nicely built walkways careful not to disturb the forest that they have the dinosaurs built in. They are motion sensored and my favourite part was when Owen would patiently wait for the dinosaur to move. His pose made me giggle each time. I can't believe that there is only 2 weeks left in the summer break before school starts. Braden and Jon both start grade 3. I can't believe that these boys are growing so fast. We also spent a day at the beach. It is Alberta Beach and not as great as Allan Beach but a Beach is a Beach in my opin

Swimming and Pay Per View

So Jon has started swimming classes and they are going great...I have a bit of an issue though because he is a boy and I am a girl so I can not take him into my changing room. It is very stressful to wait out of the room and waiting for him. So the first time, Boris went with him and showed him how to work the locker and where to go. Tuesday, when we went it was just him and I, so I gave him 50 cents and went to meet him at the pool. It was only a few minutes and he happily met me at the swimming pool and handed me his towel and key. PERFECT. Class was over and so he went to the change room and I went to wait in the foyer. 15 minutes later and still no Jonathan. Luckily Susan from work was there with her two children and she sent her son to check on Jonny. He said Jon was fine and they left...another 10 minutes later, Jon came out stating: "DAMM Lockers". HAHAHA, apparently he didn't clue in that when you put the key back in...it doesn't give you your money back. Oh p

Post just for Darcy

Dearest Darcy, This post is for you!!! OK so after 2 weeks of slacking off (I have 100 excuses and they are all reality to me but enough is enough) I have to get back on the wagon! I started all over! I couldn't in good conscience just pick up where I left off so I started my Biggest Loser Last Chance workout again. Week one, day one. I seem ok. My heart rate is pounding but I made it through and while I am feeling like it was a hard workout...I didn't vomit and I wore proper bolder holders. I love my yoga and try to do it as often as I can. It has helped me in so many ways. I find that when provoked, I am able to just let it slide and when I know I am right...I can walk away knowing that without pushing. It has helped my self esteem, it is helping me tone, it is helping me recognize when my body is stressed and how to correct it...and there is so much more that I can't even begin to express it. Our pedometer challenge at work has also made me realize the activity that I d
