We are all doing good!! LOVING this warm weather! Not really enjoying some of the windy days, but it still beats the snow and below zero temperatures!! It's so nice to be able to have the windows open in the house and enjoy being outside without being bundled up. Both the kids love being outside and we often have an "argument" with Blake when it's time to come in!! It will be nice when Emerson is walking independantly, because right now when we're outside we spend a lot of time helping her steer the little car she likes to push around outside. She'd bum scoot all over the place if we let her, but I hate the bottom of her pants getting so dirty!! Maybe we'll have to pull out Blake's baby Carhartt's?! I think we'll bring them camping for sure! Blake's been having fun helping Cal with the yard work - raking leaves, using the leaf blower, picking up twigs, getting the ground ready for our new shed! We're so glad we don't have the huge task of painting our fence this year, but we do need to paint the deck! Thankfully that should be a one day, two person job ;)
We had a great weekend. My Mom and Dad returned from vacation on Saturday afternoon and came over Saturday night for supper. The kids were really excited to see them and Em had lots of cuddles for Grandma!!! It was cute! Sunday morning we went to Stony after Em's morning nap. We dropped off our taxes to our friend who does them for us every year, picked up our photo CD from Rose's Mom and spent the afternoon at Grandma and Grandpa's! Both kids had great naps there and Cal and my Dad built a base for our shed. We had a delicious BBQ, the kids had a bath and we headed home! Monday, Cal and I were both off work. We took Blake for a hair cut, he loves going to Beaner's, then went to Walmart and put a hole in our wallet! lol! This morning I awoke bright and early to go register Blake for preschool. I was ready at 6:30 am and was the 3rd person in line! As I was leaving, it was getting busier so I'm glad I went early! He will be attending Fun Factory at the YMCA starting in September on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:15 to 11:15 a.m. I've heard really good things about this program and I hope Blake enjoys it! Hopefully Emerson and I will find a program to attend while Blake is at preschool! After registration, I went to work early to get a few things done, because I was back home at 10:30! Cal had an important meeting, so I only went to work for a few hours and then came home so he could attend it. They are interviewing for my position tomorrow, so I suspect I will be done work in a few weeks. I'll be glad to be done, but it will be hard to turn over " the controls" to someone else!! Hopefully the new person does a good job!! I started a new class on Monday evening, called Naughty Hottie! It was lots of fun!! Two of my friends from my New Mom's Group attend as well. I sweated up a storm and had fun dancing! That's my kind of exercise - I love to dance and love music so what could be better?!
Have a great week everyone! We have a very busy weekend coming up with swimming lessons Saturday morning and two birthday parties Saturday afternoon!! Hope we make it through with no afternoon naps ... wish us luck :)
