Planes, Trains and Automobiles...

Again this isnt a week I cant complain too much about. Its been a thrilling day everyday. On Monday we decided to stay in and have a Pajama Party! We stayed in our jammies all day and watched movies and just vegged out.Then Tueday it was a spontanious trip to the Zoo with The Sheers and the Wilsons! We finally ventured into the Dinosaur park! I had never taken Kael there yet and Ill for sure be taking him back there. He LOVED it. He had fun with all the kids throwing sticks and leaves, climbing all over, and running around the paths. Berkley got first prize for the highlight of the day when Chelsea about had a heart attack when she turned around Berkley wasnt in her seat. instead she was hanging out in the basket hanging underneath the stroller! Litte stinker.I had fun walking along side Libby as she was looking for Dinosaurs. "I see one I see one!!!" she would yell. So Id say "you see one!? youd better sneak up so he doesnt hear you and run away!", to which she proceeded to creep along on her tippy toes with her arms tucked up at her side hoping not to make a sound. So cute!
We had a entertaining picnic lunch there. Juice, cheese, peanut butter and chocolate was smothered all over everyone by the time we were done. Kael and Corbin had fun running in circles, walking all over the nice plants in the garden and occationally diggin a few of them out. The day ended perfectly with a little sprinkle of rain to cool us all down.

On wednesday Chelsea and I took another spontaneous trip to Nanton! We've been threatening to take Kael and Corbin there for a while now so they can go see the Airplanes and the Air Museum and Wednesday seemed to be the perfect day to do it. When we got there we first had a picnic in the park and then let the boys play on the playground for a bit then we headed over to the museum. It was hard to contain them. The were going nuts over the trucks and Airplanes. Thank goodness there was a couple planes they were able to climb into and play with all the switches. Most of the displays were roped off and it was hard for the boys to understand why they couldnt go in "disun?" (as Kael would say when he wants 'this one'.) After the planes we wanted to go and check out the "Garden Railway". Its a playground/display of trains and they would have loved it. However the lady was going to charge all of us, even Naveah and Berkley!, to go in a see it and it was a little rediculous. I mean, the only ones playing would have been Corbing and Kael! Luckily there was a train out front they were able to climb around on for a few minutes. To make up for it we took them to the Candy Store. Nothing better then ending the trip by pounding them full of sugar right? Kael and Corbin got matching Hot Wheels cars with car candy inside we got Naveah and Berkley matching 'soothers'. What a fun day!

Jaclyn came over on thursday with her girls Erica and Emily. (Emily was the little baby I made those mini dresses for). Jaclyn is moving this Wednesday so ive been trying to get some time in with her before she goes. We just hung out while Ice Age played in the background in hopes to distract the kids then had some lunch. It ended up being twice the busy day for me cause all at the same time I was on and off the phone making arrangements with the bank and Mastercard so we could purchase a new vehicle! I had actually been on the phone since 8:30am and I was exhausted by 10:30am. But all ended up well. We had fun hanging out with Jaclyn and her kids and I was able to buy my new car. We had only looked at it the night before and decided to go for it. By thursday evening I was the proud owner of a Dodge Durango! nice. I cant wait to take this thing camping.

On Friday I was up early and even got the kids out of the house by 9am! Havent done that in a while. We headed over to my friend Dee's house to show off the new car and see if her and Dawsyn wanted to go "cruis'n". We basically drove around aimlessly for a while before we just decided to drive south and we ended up at the Saskatoon Farm just past Okotoks. We just got out there to stretch or legs and let the kids run around and chase the roosters and see the Pot Belly Pig "Daisy". Later on in the Evening I took the kids over to Nanny and Papas house to surprise them then we went out for Ice cream....Whoa what a week!

I love Summer and getting out of the house. After being couped up so long in the house for winter it feels so good to just go somewhere and have fun in the sun. And the kids have so much fun too. Heres to Summer!

  2. ahhh, I have to post again. Only cuz I have to tell you a funny story - I took my kids to calaway today and we met up with some friends - Libby looked around and immediately asked "where's Corbin? Where's Berkely? Where's Midaya? Where's Caydle?" (recognize your kids names in there?)
