The Floor!!!

So Here it is....

The Floor

Red

Shinny

NEW

&

Hole-less!!!

The Prep work begins...

the hardwood awaits...

the Furniture is moved & the

girls world shrinks for the weekend!!

The skim of plywood is measured

and it covers the holes I've lived with

for almost 5 years!

Daddy's little helpers join in

:)

Loic is busy

screwing the floor

The fun begins...

The biggest colouring page ever

is under our feet!

The Building Inspector is on hand

for quality inspection

It would appear that he approves

of the work so far!

In fact, Inspector Wellington is fully engrossed

in the project

Down to the more serious side of the job

CLEANING DETAIL

and packing!!!

A well earned break

:)

and the floor starts to appear...

What a yummy

RED

Extra hands are always

a good thing for the

crew boss!

With hardwood THIS shinny,

the sweeping will never end!

No time like the present for

a major snuggle session

Ear's need protecting

on the job site

A tight knit crew

to see the job through

:)

The crew boss is tired after a long weekend

and my job is far from over...

just LOOK at this mess!

but it is AL worth it!

Just look at the sheen

&

the floor actually matches my

KITCHEN AID ROASTER

Does it GET any better?

Hair

Thank God
for
Hair products

Best Friends...

Forever...

It's NOT the Mediteranean....

but it IS adventurous for those who dare.....

I know they must be home sick for the warmer days of

Southern France, BUT...

by the puppy-snuggles & the pearly grins,

I'm thinking that life is good,

even if it IS a bit on the frosty side

:)

By the way...did you hear that France had a big snow-storm?

They even built a french snowman for

Angelique & Loic.
So... maybe the Mediteranean isn't so

warm afterall...

So, you find they have climbed onto the furniture...

go ahead,

just TRY to be serious at a moment like THIS...

Heck,

I couldn't scold them either.....

Update!!!!!

yahoo I love my new computer!!

could this be that I can blog again???

A quick review of the missing months...

The Girls grew up!

No more crib for these beauties!

But in a tinny space, there is only room for one bed so Sarah

sleeps at the head & Adelaide sleeps at the foot...

Hay what ever works right?

The point is...we are in a BED...Frame & all!!

Joanne came to visit!

Thank Goodness for best Friends!

If only I could kidnap her for keeps :)

And then there is family...

When Sean when hunting,

Aunt 'Reen came to feed dogs, spoil the girls & celebrate my Birthday

Adelaide & Sarah managed to party all evening

until they were completely tuckered out!

Thanksgiving rolled around & it brought

awesome surprises!

Grandee & Grandad & Mrs D arrived...

Nothing like story time with Grandad!

Then the work began!

Winter is not a cozy thought in the Yukon

if the wood pile is sparse!

So we had our work cut out for us (pardon the pun)

Hard work it is, but rewarding nonetheless!

Thankfully the splitting & staking was done before the snows arrived!

Hummm...come to think of it

this is the FIRST year the wood has been STACKED!!

What a pretty pile :)

& then the snow came & buried everything ...

even the bug-tent!

While inside the warmth of our cozy cabin...
my little helpers worked away on
Granddad's quilt with me!
I'm sure I couldn't have finished it in time
with out their help!!!

It hasn't been all work around here though...

Adelaide was able to find some quiet time

with a good novel!

Then who could forget that Santa was

on his way?

Nothing like a few reliable

elves to give him a hand!!!

and over the holidays,

new friendships were forged...

with Hollywood Stars no doubt!

I do believe the pink-knit dress

was a perfect compliment to

Morag's (the famous actress') accessories (ie: collar & leash...)

Aside from our holiday star, there was happy time

spent with awesome family & friends!

If only they weren't sooooo far away :(

So back in the Yukon we are spending most of our days

inside the warmth of our cabin

(watching that impressive wood pile dwindle away)

BUT on this past weekend,

things warmed up enough to go out & PLAY in the snow

with toboggans & dogs!!!!!

Hummmmm...

nothing like a bit of fresh air to chase the cabin-fever away

A bit of fresh air & time with my best friends that is

:):):)

There is tons more to report but for now

I'd say that is a pretty good chunk of

what has been

happening in my neck of the woods :)
