Just in case you needed an adorability booster shot......
Well folks, it's been another crazy week!

People who confuse laid back kindness with a willingness to be a doormat..........silly people.......
As for this weekend and the upcoming week?
Tonight, my hubby is on a bro date with our grandson, Ethan. A trip to A&W + a Batman comic book + going to see the Lego Movie + a sleepover = A very excited 6 year old!
Tomorrow I'll be taking part in a great tradeshow at the civic centre in Rosetown. It's going to be a blast! I'll be sharing table space with my youngest daughter, who makes custom cakes!
After we get packed up at the end of the day, it's off for a quick overnight visit with my Mom. Haven't been able to stop by there in quite a while, it'll be nice to get caught up.
Then, next week begins a new month! With any luck, the snow will melt....for sure, this time...and the promise of Spring will be able to peek through.
I'm sure I'll be having some interesting conversations with some courier executives............
I plan on sneaking some snuggle time with some grandbabies.......
Month end bookkeeping chores will be in full swing................
Hang out with my Honey, fixin stuff..................
All in all...have a pretty great time! Why? Cuz, I can!
So, my friends, that about does it for this week........until next time I'll leave you with this wish....
May your puddles be jumpable, your potholes, be shallow and few.
May your pant legs never even graze your car, keeping your good clothes free of mucky goo.
May your households' rubber boots have nary a hole among them.
May they keep little feet dry, no matter how the little ones test them.
May the splash pants be strong, worn, not forgotten, in a backpack, in a locker, far away.
May they be remembered and adorn every recess of every single school day.
May you be understanding of the mud encrusted creatures who inevitably forget, soaking themselves to the core.
May you be understanding, make a paper boat or two, join in the fun, after all that's what puddles are for!
Until next time!
