ARMY AND SLAMMIE's Crazy Christmas Advent Package Train

Snow started here on Friday night and hasn't stopped!!! Although its light and fluffy its still a mess. So not ready for it this year :(

Hunting is my stress release, even if I don't get anything, the time spent in the bush is time well spent. Call it the spiritual side of me, but the beauty around you at the time is amazing. And watching the different animals is pretty cool too. I also know that the meat I feed my family is not loaded up with hormones, antibiotics, or other medications, and it tastes sweeter due to the fact that the animal wasn't all stressed out. I will also teach my children to respect the land and animals. We only harvest those that we need to eat, always and only shoot when we know that we have the best shot placement to minimize unesessary trauma, and never harvest does that have young that need them over the winter.

Not everyone is going to agree with me and that is ok. Just as I know there are hunters( I use that term loosely, they are poachers) that I don't agree with what they do. We call it quality family time, when we can spend the time with our children, teaching them respect for the circle of life.

I kinda wish we did have a hunter in the family.just to get me one deer as i find it almost better.

Mailed :) box weight 11.20 kg

We have to be really careful about that where we are because we have a herd of horses too and we don't mind hunters hunting when they are drawn for our area but they have to come and let us know and has to be the right time of the season too or hubby goes out and tells them they are trespassing and it isn't hunting season! Our quarter surrounds a coulee and is right by the Oldman River.

So I mailed 3 different parcels 2 to family in ns and one for my buddie. But now I have no idea what tracking numbers what

Those are the poacher types that I have issue with too. :)

We usually know them....it is a small community! It is the people that we don't know that don't respect the land or have no clue those are the people we have a problem with!

8 people have offically mailed, I have a feeling my buddy hasn't yet.
I wonder if my buddy has and kids on the kids train....

Hint to my buddy... you might! lol!

It will most likely be hubby's last trip due to work but DD and I will be hunting our area again till the end of the month.

hubby was supposed to go coyote hunting with his brothers this weekend but I don't know if they went because of all the snow.

Happy Birthday to your junior cowgirl! :)

Maybe me !!! :) I fit all these criteria and I live in a province different than yours yet close. Cause I think the conductors tried not to put people who are accross the country together.

Over time, there's some people i eliminated either with questions and such.. but didn't keep track of it :lolsign: so i'm fully in the dark..

Do any of you have these little family things you do and love ? This morning we did our little sunday breakfast.. Rainbow pancakes.. omg... DD was ALL over it.. she loved it SOOOO much.. and DF loved my pancakes. So fluffly and vanilla-ey.. YUM !!!!

Attachment 202296

That's neat Tasha. Just adding food colouring? My kids would be all over that!

Actually your conductors just threw dart blindly at a board and hoped it all worked out lol;)

So buddy, my son is going to see Santa next weekend and we've been talking about what he is going to ask for, so he doesn't ask for 100 things :) So far he wants a Play Doh garbage truck, Switch N Go Dinos, two mighty machines movies and more pieces for his train set. So. Some of those were on his list, so I may be able to tell a few things when we get the package but hints as to whether I'll need to go shopping would be great, especially since I would need to order a couple online. And to my own buddy, if you want to know what anything for kid(s) is let me know once you get your package ;)

Finish wrapping, sorry buddy for the bad wrapping job. I implemented the 'wrap as fast as possible so DD doesnt try to "help" ' method.

Sneak peek photo! Now to find a box & will mail tomorrow or Tuesday!
