It's almost christmas


Melody and I always have a way with home renovation projects, we talk about it out then all of a sudden we are in the check out line at the hardware store with wood and paint and much much more in hand. We finally painted autumn's room for her and got her a new bedroom set. She was quite surprised.

Then we decided to take on our upstairs washroom which was really outdated with the 80's wall paper starting to peel it was long over due, but a simple plan of removing the old wood wainscotting and painting, soon lead to flooring, a new vanity, knocking holes in the wall for a built in shelf unit, but it feels so much better in there now.

We caught the John butler trio show in november and have to say it was the best concert i have ever had the plessure of seeing. They had the energy of 10 year old kids but the chemistry between them it is like they have been playing together for 50 years. I would not think twice about traveling to see them again.



Then i was treated to an amazing weekend away with my wife to a relaxing cabin to hang out with my best friend. The weather was cold, but we still had a great time, would have been nice to have been able to get out more, but it was so nice to be able to relax with out feeling like there is something you should be doing.


We were waiting to start christmas decorating till sabina got home for christmas and now are in full christmas mode, lights are going up and we are building a tobogganing hill in the yard, cleared the whole front yard of snow to have enough to do it.



The kids are counting the days till the big guy drops by, feels a little more like christmas everyday.
