Black Day

Oh Dear

The Canucks have not made the play offs and their coach has been fired. But worry not my little flowers this means that once the grief has subsided then I will able to start all those DIY projects started early. Depsite the fact Patrick is now claiming to be a die hard Flames fan!! Won't wash.

Though to be hoinest I will miss the canucks! Especially MARKUS (cue sighing) to all those who now me in Canuck Land you will know how devestating it is to me the fact I will have to last 18 long weeks with out PPV Canucks . I will just have to live for the few ad's that the might NAzzie stars in.

So Go Oilers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DOGGGGGGGGG

Hello

Well things are moving along. The girls spent last week staying with their mum, which was a nice break for us, but we missed them after 2 days!!

The demon eyed guy is Austin. We went to visit the dog pund 'just to look' and came home with a bundle of fur. Austin is 4yo Rottie/dobie, who is scared of everything!

He stills thinks he is a puppy and often can be found asleep on my lap! Though he is depressed at the moment as he is no longer allowed on the bed follwoing the purchase of a new bedroom suite. Well he is not allowed when Patrick is home!

Well I am sitting here waiting for my sister to log on to MSN! So I will write more soon,

Peace

Amanda's Birthday

Last week Amanda turned 14 and Terryn 11. As we take it turns for parties it was Patrick and I's turn to celebrate with Amanda. So the responsible parents we are we dutifully took the family to a family diner and made them wear moose heads whilst the whole restaurant sang happy birthday!

Amanda being the great sport she is threw herself into the rutual embarrassment, she's a trooper. Fun was had by all.

Terryn will be having a 'Build A Bear' party at her Mum's next week so hopefully we should have some photos next week.

Mooose

So meet the family, Terryn (11) Amanda (14) and Patrick (42) going on (14)!

Introductions

Hello we are the Legge family (pronounced LEG) , allow us to introduce ourselves,

PATRICK DOUGLAS - 1963 - Handsome, rugged, strong, execllent bodily functions that he feels free to share, love/hate affair with golf. Manages an Auto Body Shop , lives under the dis-illusionment that the Canucks can win the Stanley Cup!!!!

ALISON LYNN - 1970 - Ali to her friends , though NEVER in front of her Mum, short , cute and funny, and ALWAYS right , even when she is wrong, accountant with BA in History (??), lives under the disillusionment Villeneuve will win F1 title this year!!!!

AMANDA MARIE - 1992 - PERFECT, too pretty by far and way too smart for her own good, still at school , lives with the disillusionment that she can beat the system.

TERRYN ANNE - 1995 - PERFECT, tall and slim, incredibly kind, still at elementary school, lives under the disillusionment that those eyes (oh those eyes), when filled with tears will make Daddy forget she has just taped over the 1994 series!

We are a normal , hard working, dysfuntional family trying to make our way in this crazy world. With more ups than downs, not enough money and time, but whole heapings of love and strife.

I am starting this blog so that in this 24-7 disposable society we can do something as a family, something that can prove we are a family and not 4 strangers sharing a house (thats is how it feels with teenagers....right???)

So stay tuned as I am sure that drama/tears/and unashamed laughter is right round the corner.
