New addition....

Well..for awhile now we have been thinking of adding another member to our family and so yesterday we went and did it. No it's not a baby..although I want one of those in the near future...we went and got a puppy. He is a Lab/Retriever cross and we named him Magnus. What a bundle of energy and it has been deemed my responsibility to house break him. Well it only makes sense since I am home with him all day. We've been having some small successes but some big set backs. But all in all so far it has been a joy to have him in our family. The kids took to him right away although this morning they were scared of him and wouldn't get off the couch. Michaela has since started to brush him and so that's a good sign. And even our other dog Kutcha has taken a shine to him so he has quickly become the newst member in our family.
So without any further ado..here he is Magnus!!!!

and she broke her crown...

So the other evening I had just finished checking on the kids and found Logan in another one of his funny sleeping postitions and decided to head down the stairs to tell Sean about it and have him go and chck it out. Well have 2 flights of stairs that lead up to out third floor and as I rounded the landing and started making my way down the last flight when all of a sudden my feet slipped out from under me and down I went. Yep that's right folks I fell down the stairs. I slid all the way down and took a picture with me. Well I instantly hurt and I knew that come morning I was going to have the biggest bruise on my butt that was ever seen. You see..I bruise like a peach. Sean could just poke my arm with his finger and...there it is a bruise. So I knew one was coming..but I was completely ill prepared for the size and colour of the thing. As I will NOT be posting a picture (I know that you are ALL upset about that)...just imagine the deepest purple that you can imagine and have it cover one side of your butt. I will tell you..it still hurts to sit and lay down.
Well Sean rushed to my aid and I know from that gleam in his eyes that he was fighting the urge NOT to laugh at me. I swear I heard him laughing later while I was upstairs and he was downstairs..the cheeky monkey.
Well my story doesn't end there. I was vaccuming the living room yesterday and bent down to get the edges around the door that goes to the basement and I hit my head on the key that is sticking out of the doorknob. So I have a bruised head and a bruised butt. So yeah I have been alittle accident prone the last couple of days and I just hope that nothing else happens today cause I really don't know what else I can bruise.
