So If you've checked out what's on my nightstand, one of the books I am into right now is called the Happiness Project. It's fairly simple and straight forward but has some awesome tips, resolutions, ideas and things to re think about living life to it's most awesome potential - reaching your personal height of happiness!
And I am pondering what my list of commandments will be to start off.
And here's what I think my first one will be!
1) strike up some serious silly's everyday (i think we all need to be a bit less serious in our everyday and make more time for some goofiness. It leads to laughter and that leads to some serious endorphin release that hello adds to the happiness factor. Today I impemented about 2 minutes of silliness (only two minutes) with cole on the swings at the park, the results were huge - because he started laughing uncontrollably and with a grin that only a cheshire cat could match, I in turn started laughing, and because we were laughing and being goofy baby K couldn't help but giggle her lil heart out in the stroller!
so only 9 more to go!

oh sheesh it's almost May!
Things have been busy. Between our wonderful month of sickness, we have been adventuring out more and more. Cole has had some wonderful extra days at pre-school with things like - class picture day, cinamazoo day, eye exam day, and all sorts of extras. Kyrie has had her 12 month shots, and a week or so later a lovley night at childrens hospital with her mother who must surley love her to bits to endure 12 straight hours in the middle of the night (not sleeping) All is well and all is good, just a high fever and some funny breathing.
We have been crafting, (for Easter, for spring, for birthday's and just for everyday) we have been thrifting (mamma has found some amazing vintage sheets that were oh so perfect for a baby girls crib! And a lovley vintage duvet for the bottom bunk that matches PERFECTLY with the grandma made pillows! The kids room is really coming together I am thinking I may post some pics! We have still been on our purge - donating more toys, clothes, and generally just stuff!
WE (I) painted and finally made our master bedroom a haven after three years of living here with it being dubbed "the dumping grounds!" Will have to post those pics too! Now it is beautiful and one of my favorite places to read and rest and reKOOPerate!
We have been bike riding! Oh yes as soon as Kyrie hit the one year mark or wait i think it was a week before that we suited up and went on our first family bike of the season! GLORIOUS, then a week later we went again! We have been spending a LOT of time at the beach, wether it be Gilberts beach here around the corner (with the amazing fort!) or east beach in white rock - The beach has become our new playground and i LOVE it.
We have also started watching the sunset from our roof every evening after dinner (if not out for a walk or at the park) And it has been a beautiful way to unwind as a family after a busy day or doing. Cole loves being on the roof - I love the fresh crisp before bed air (and so does K) And we all head down to start the routine of bedtime with a wee bit more energy and patience.
Here is a pic of our glorious roof top sunset....
We have been walking more, singing more, gardening more, dancing more, definatley reading more and springing more! As soon as I don't have a cute baby girl banging on the esc key I will post some pics - but I am alive and well and wanted to let you all know!
