While many of you have been back online for a while this is officially my first post holiday work day! lol Hubster headed back to work this morning, boo! I still have Big Brother with me for another week before school goes back, but I had a pretty long hiatus from any real blogging and it was a nice change but I was eager to get back to my desk and see what 2012 has in store for Mom vs. the Boys!


Our holidays were a bit of mixed bag with some nice memories and great disappointment. We kicked things off on the 23rd which was Big Brother’s last day of school and the arrival of the Aussie Uncles! They stayed with us until the 26th so we had lots of time to play games, watch movies and chat. It was really nice to have the company over Christmas and the boys were of course thrilled!!

someone’s been here!

Gifts from Australia!

yay! race cars!
Next up we travelled to see my side of the family and also Hubster’s Grandma and Aunt. We were there for a few days and got a little bit of Boxing week shopping in, but plans fell apart and we ended up coming home a day early.
Here’s a funny convo with Big Brother as we enter Great Grandma’s parking lot.
Big Bro: I hope GreatGrandma has presents for us!
Mom: oh no hunny, there won’t be any gifts, Great Grandma already sent us a card with some money in it.
Big Bro: Money is NOT a gift!!!
heheheehe….good thing we got that out of the way in the van! lol I suppose to a 5 year old cash is not a gift!
For New Year’s Eve we had the opportunity to go to the Toronto Zoo with the kids! We were super excited and had a blast ringing in the new year (kind of, there was a count down at 8pm for the kids!) with the zoo animals. Middle Man adores animals and couldn’t get enough! We also watched some performances of the Wot Wots, AbbaMania and met Shrek!
the boys were starting to get sleepy here, they passed out in the van on the way home so we tucked them in and cracked open a little a lot of this
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
