First Veto
Saturday was Ryan's busy day.
He shovelled our sidewalks, shovelled out the gate to the back yard, chipped all the ice off the back sidewalk, walked down to Mom's and shovelled off and chipped all the ice off her back deck (since someone beat him to the front driveway). By the way, it's like -25 with a windchill and Mother Nature decided we didn't nearly have enough rooms on our igloo and dumped like six more inches of snow on us. He started laundry, cleaned the stove (!), went to the store, made supper, and vetoed one item off the list.
That's right. One thing now has a notation beside it.
You see, I mentioned it's -30ish outside right? Well, guess what. It's about -20ish in the attic space.
Ha!
See that?! #14. spring job, above 0!!
Ah well. I've lived with that weird light for almost 7 years. I'm sure I can wait another 3 months.
Oh, and before you think I wasn't home or just sitting on my computer, I was getting started on #22.
That's right. I'm in the painting zone.

Gift Tags
Today started out with me spotting some free gift tag printouts on the web. Which is better than how yesterday started, with the doorbell ringing, me stumbling out of bed bleary-eyed to face the by-law officer who would kindly like to remind me to move my van for street cleaning. Awesome.
Anyways, we needed new gift tags this year for our re-usable cloth gift bags. I usually use stickers or just cut out old cards and write on the back, but since I seen this free tag printout I thought I'd use those. So I cut down some Christmas card stock so it would fit into my printer and then as I went to print them out I noticed all the little pictures Storm has drawn and saved to my computer lately.
The girl loves her some Paint.
And I thought, hey I could print those out and make myself some tags!
So cute.
Then I spotted the picture file I have saved of Storm's name and words that describe her, that is waiting for me to paint for her room. And I thought, "hmm I should use Wordle and write out a bunch of words that describe all of the kids and print those out as tags too!"
Easily distracted and way-laid. That's me.
And then I did this:
I mean, why not make them re-usable! As I got started on this, I realized that I was down to my last two sheets of 8x11 laminating plastic. But I had bought a mixture starter package on clearance at one point and it had a bunch of different sizes in it, including business card and luggage tag sizes. So I just used up all the random sizes and then cut them down. Plus I made sure to put one of each kid's names into a luggage tag so if they ever need one, they can just use these.
All the cutting. Gah!
How cute are those?!
Now, what was I really supposed to be doing today?!
Hmm. A shower might be a good start.

Manny from Ice Age, Scooby Doo and a Christmas tree too!
