flooring Surprise

My wife was away all of last week with the kids at a dance competition, leaving me and two of the boys home for the week. We decided we wanted to do something for her that would be a surprise and special. I knew she was planning on coming home with enough money to finish the new flooring in the living/dining and our bedroom so I decided to go out and buy it early and get it done for her when she got home. It looks great and I was finishing the last couple of pieces just as she was pulling into the driveway.

Education Alternative

It's important to find something we love to do as a career, it's a fact that most people spend more time at work than at any other activity in their life including their own family. You might as well enjoy what you do, if you have a desire to work in the beauty industry you should take some time to check out the Cosmetology school in Louisiana a branch of the Regency Beauty Schools, they have been teaching students for over 50 years. With a rapid growth pattern for their schools in recent years they currently have 30 schools. They also offer assistance with job placement after your training with their industry connections.

Dragon Trainers

We all decided to head to the movies today, it was time to learn how to Train our Dragons of course in 3D. I figured it would be a cute movie but was surprised about how good it really was, it was entertaining from start to finish with a great story to boot. I would definetly recommend this movie to anyone even if you weren't a kid it has a great story.

park day fun

I took the kids to the park tonight after a busy Easter day, it was the perfect way to finish our day. Jay stayed home as he was getting ready for a night out with his friends but everyone else came with us. The kids had a good time together and enjoyed the 3 lane slide so they could try out some races. I think it was pretty even for the most part.

Back on the Renovation Band Wagon

It's that time of year when I need to come out of my hibernation and get back onto my hobby of renovation projects. The first project of the year is removing carpet out of our laundry/family rooms and replacing it with wood floor. I got a start on it today and will spend the holiday weekend finishing up the project hopefully on time and budget! It will be great to be rid of this light colored carpet that was always being tracked over with food and dirt. Rule #1 with kids DO NOT have light colored carpets.

Rock, Paper, Scissor...Dynamite?

Here's a new twist on the game, my son asked me to play Rock Paper Scissor the other day and while we were playing he gave me a new move that blew me away...literaly. After a couple of losing rounds he was getting a little frustrated so I threw up the Rock and he countered with the ....Dynamite, yes he made this one up a fist with the thumb up and then down to detonate. Just so you know Dynamite beats Rock and Paper so it increases your odds, scissors beats Dynamite because it cuts off the fuse.

Tim's Rim Roller

Have you seen the new Rim Roller device to help you roll up your rim on your favorite Tim Horton Coffee Cup. I saw these today at the local Zellers Store and they are being sold for 2.49, this is an interesting marketing gimmic on one of the best marketing promotions in Canada. Everyone loves RRRRRoll up the RRRRRRim to win. This little divice goes down over the side of you cup and when you pull it up it cuts the sides and pull up the rim to reveal your play again (oops I mean prize). What do you think of this idea, I'd love to hear your opinion.
