walk on

We have been incredibly busy at our house lately.

Hosting Joy School, teaching Primary Sharing Time at church and hosting family and friends.  Oh and Graham has had some demanding stuff at work.   As I try to catch up on our blog he is down stairs working at his computer on this chilly Sunday afternoon.  Poor dude got a call from work so has been on his computer in my craftroom since we got home from church, this doesn't happen to often thank goodness :(  The Polischuk residence has seen a ton of visitors lately. Graham and I counted that we have had company for 7 weeks in a row!!!  We do love hosting so it is all good, but it has been a continual bed stripping/bed making routine.  It all caught up with me last week when I had a little break down and my sister came to the rescue!!!  She took my ladies and I came home to CLEAN, yes clean because when my house is in order I mentally feel more in order.   It seems a bit silly because many families have much more on the go, many more children, many more responsibilities pulling at them but alas for us we've been busy, busier then our usual little routine.

So a bit of our life as of late...

 We went visiting Auntie Linda's Farm, my Grandma's sister.  It is always such fun! Love the baby chicks.  Amelia prayed in the morning that she would be able to safely hold the chicks herself without help, her prayers were answered. (cutest thing ever) Sadly, Alyson had a sick babe so she couldn't join us we just stole Jacey for the afternoon. 

 Cousins slacking and watching movies while moms make meals. Television can be a powerful tool in our house.  The less it is used the more captivating it is when on....muwahhhhhh!!!!!  This was clearly evidenced as we prepared over 40 meals in 2 days. Yeah us!!!  The first day awesome, the second day thank goodness Graham was around to help entertain and keep kids safe.  We have done meal prep a few times and each time we have gotten more efficient and refined our recipes. Our meals worked out to $5 each for a family of 4. Next we would like to venture into crock pot meal prep.

We still don't have a yard  (this is annoying and a whole blog post unto itself) but have gotten outside as much as we can. Sidewalk chalk is out in full use and the bikes can be seen going up and down the driveway with lovely girls on them. We did wake up to snow today so that was sad! I have also been a canvasser for the Canadian Diabetes Association and am grateful for the opportunity to serve that organization.

We are walking along, enjoying our days!  Trying even when we feel overwhelmed or grumpy.  I saw this fabulous print and want to make it for my livingroom because it is AWESOME;

So we walk on and CHOOSE HAPPY!!!  Took these last few pics of my little sweethearts today after church today and frankly they are reason enough to choose happy...just look at these gems.

Walk on and Choose Happy I say!!!!!
