A mish mash of this and that

Guess what? I only have 22 days of work left! :) Out of my 56, so I am well on my way! Now, just as long as I don't get sick or baby some how slows me down and I am put off work by the Dr. I did pick up an extra 2 shifts just in case I do need a day off - so I have a little wiggle room but not much. (Leah - I work until the end of June - so I get to enjoy all of July!)
My maternity leave with Kellan actually ended up kicking me a bit in the butt with Income tax. With our farming income they split it evenly between Brian and I so my income was higher and I ended up having to pay....quite a bit :( BOO! It will probably be a similar situation next year but at least we will be a bit more prepared.

A while ago I mentioned we might do a big reno project on our house this summer. Our builder still hasn't got back to us with a quote, but I think we are re-thinking things. We are assuming it's going to be quite a bill, and we aren't quite ready to dive into something quite that big. So, for now it's 'off' and we'll just enjoy our comfy cozy little house.
So, since that's on hold, I'm hoping we can get a fence built this spring/summer. With Kellan being quite the mover and our backyard quite open (with the neighbours too) we would like to corral him a bit more. Especially when he will be moving quicker then me when July/August rolls around.
I'm also on the lookout for some outside toys. I would love to get him a water table, a little pool, and other fun little boy toys. Our town wide garage sale is coming up pretty soon so I hope to score a few deals there.

When we went to the city last week we stopped at IKEA for supper and some shopping. We've been looking at getting a TV storage unit so we thought this would be a good opportunity. We found a beautiful one on sale so we picked it up. Our main reason for getting one was to keep little fingers out/off of the DVD player, etc. so this one should do the trick. Plus it has drawers on the bottom to store all of our DVD's so that's an added bonus.

Today Kellan and I are going to my neices 3rd birthday party! Should be a fun time with all the kids, cake and presents.
Yesterday we had Easter dinner with my family at my parents. My Mom always does and amazing job throwing on a feast - and as usual we were not disappointed!
Well, that's our update for now.
Thanks for all the comments/encouragement on my last post :) I didn't mean to give out such a guilt trip (heehee!) - but it may have put me more in a blogging mood.
