It is almost December but whatever

HALLOWEEN PICTURES!

A Head Start

Yes yes, I have done it, I have started on the christmas cookie baking for this year. I did some gingerbread snowflakes and butter almond cookies decorated with icing of course.

I even started on the holiday shopping too, I'm am not sure what the dogs have on their list this year yet though!

Snuggles

Snuggles between a boy and his cat

Some much needed time...

Thank you all for being so patient while I took some much needed time away from blogging. I haven't truly been away since I have been reading all your posts, it was nice to be here without really being here.

School has been crazy but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel..at least I think I can. I am finishing up my last two classes and am trying to have my work hours count towards my last placement. If all goes to plan I should graduate in December and become an official Early Childhood Educator.

I have recently accepted a job in the daycare centre that I supply with in the preschool classroom. I am on contract until December 31st as an enhanced support. I am finding it somewhat stressful but do enjoy it most days. I think that by taking the job I am finding more about what types of work I enjoy and what I do not. I am also still part-time at Petsmart which is generally still fun but takes up a lot of my free time. The pay cheques make it all worth it in the end.

AUSTRALIA IS STILL ON! I am not going until June but will hopefully end up in Sydney. I am very excited and am currently just working on my passport papers to renew my passport. I will be applying for my working holiday visa as soon as my passport comes back. I have found a great family and fingers crossed everything works out with them!

The pets have been good, we actually just went to the vet on Saturday. My Koda is getting old as he has the beginning of cataracts, and he is still overweight. Maybe someone can suggest a good diet food? He is already only getting 2 cups of weight maintenance a day but he doesn't get much exercise. Sophie is doing good she is a healthy 4.8 pounds!  She did really well getting her shots considering she doesn't have much to stick into. Blair and Jack get their turn on Nov 3rd since I didn't have a helper with me. 

Sorry for the super long post but hope to be posting more often now!

New Fishes

All the way back in February, petsmart had a big sale on fish. I was drawn in to two little male bettas which I then named One Fish and Two Fish. They lived happily together until March when another sale happened and I bought a little red male betta for my sister. And then we had 3 male bettas, all living happily in their jars.

I didn't expect this to grow anymore.....until this weekend, when I went to work and came home with 3 more fish. Yes that puts my fish count up to 6, and they are all separated except for 2. I came home with another beta, this time a female who has been named pretty girl, along with 2 little goldfish who have not been named yet.

I think I have begun a fish adventure to start off my summer!

Bed

Occasionally I make the dogs leave my bed...come on they both have awesome beds to sleep on. We don't all have to be curled in up a corner on mine. Usually its when I get too squishy with them and I say off, go to your bed. 

Sophie thinks I mean, pick anything that could possibly be a bed as long as it isn't mine. 

Yep the laundry basket is where she choose to spend the night.

HAPPY CANADA DAY

I am in Ottawa celebrating and wanted to wish you all a 

HAPPY CANADA DAY!
