We have been so lucky to have such great weather the past two weekends! This Saturday was b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l!!! It was actually hot outside ... Today was also very nice. There was a cooler wind, but still quite warm for October!
Saturday morning Cal and I switched "roles!!" I took Blake to hockey and Cal took Emerson to swimming lessons. I have to tell you, within 5 minutes of being on the ice with Blake I had lost my patience :S But I recovered quickly and we had fun! It's hard to remember that Blake is only 3 and we really need to ... He wants a lot of help on the ice, which is fine. The frustrating part is knowing what he can do and getting him to trust himself to do it! He is doing great though, and usually has an awesome 20 or so minutes per hour! I think 1 hour is a bit too long for the little guys and gals. They tire out pretty quick! We had fun playing Simon Says and he skated quite a distance without my hands on him :) He was very proud of himself afterwards and couldn't wait to tell Dad! Cal had fun with Emerson at swimming. She continues to love it!! Saturday afternoon I went to the lab to do the gestational diabetes test. I'm about 6 weeks late in doing this and HAD to do it before my Dr. appointment on Monday! It wasn't as bad as I remember it being with Blake and Em! Afterwards I picked Cal and the kids up and we went to Costco to see if Cal's glasses were repairable. Emerson got a hold of them Saturday morning and they are definitely NOT repairable :( She snapped the frame. C'est la vie I suppose!! When we got home we played outside and Blake decided he wanted to go for a bike ride. So off we went ... for a 40 minute bike ride/walk. What a boy we have! He hasn't shown much interest at all in his bike all summer and now all of a sudden he has decided he LOVES his bike!!! We knew this would happen! You can't "make" that kid do anything!! Everything is on his schedule, his timeline. He has to put a lot of thought and analysis into something before deciding to do it! We do love this about him :)
Today Cal made a trip to the dump. We continue to clean out our garage!! You'd think we had a triple car garage with all the stuff we've accumulated in there. Next step is to move some shelving and hopefully park the truck in there for the winter, along with the van! Sunday afternoon we took our trailer to the storage spot we rent, just south of Spruce Grove and then continued on to my parents house for dinner and a visit. It was so great to see them! They've been on vacation for 4 weeks and we're used to seeing them at least once a week!! We had fun at the Forest Green park playing and taking a few pictures. We even ran into Lesley and got to see her grade 3 classroom at Forest Green School! She showed the kids the Smart Board and let them play on it! They had fun and Blake thought it was pretty cool to see where Dad went to school :) And thanks to Mom for the very yummy dinner!!!
I'm working tomorrow and Cal and the kids have a park and picnic lunch date planned!! Tomorrow evening Cal and I are going to the Brad Paisley/Darius Rucker concert. We're quite excited! I'm also looking forward to next weekend. Saturday is our 6th anniversary and Cal has made dinner reservations for us at Japanese Village. And I LOVE Thanksgiving!! Love seeing family together and enjoying a fun day and turkey dinner ;) AND ... dromroll please ... Blake and Em are moving in to the same room Friday night. Wish us luck ... and sleep ... ha, ha, ha! I really think they'll be fine, there will just be a few less hours of sleep at first! We've been planning their room this week and made a trip to Ikea on Thursday to buy a few organizational type things. The space is very limited! I'm also ordering some decor from Etsy for their walls. Blake seems excited to move into Em's room and Em really doesn't seem to understand!! Cal's working from home Friday and we're moving all the furniture around Friday morning, then Emerson will have her nap in the afternoon and hopefully Friday night goes okay! More then anything, they will both be excited and hyper!!!! We're moving them in to the same room Friday night, because Cal is off until Wednesday, so we'll both be home and can switch off sleeping in or napping if the nights are long!
Have a great week everyone!
Love The Cameron's
