Playing catchup!!

I haven't blogged in awhile ... I've attempted to many times but have been uninspired ;)

So here's a little catch up:

Our weekends are jam-packed, much like our weekdays.  Saturdays seem to be our most low-key day, with a hockey practice for Blake and Cal's Bauer 1st Shift program.  Usually that is all although typically one of the kids also has a birthday party (or two) on Saturdays!  I swear, we might need to take out a loan for all these birthday parties ... lol!  Sundays are super ... super busy and super fun!!!  They always include a hockey game for Blake, Church, a ringette practice for Reese and a ringette practice for Emerson.  If we're lucky we can fit all 4 into our day ;)  We're usually gone for the entire day and Sunday evenings are very relaxed. 

Our new babysitter is working out fantastically and we've been using her a lot.  My Mom covered our butts one night though, as it seems I forgot to book the babysitter.  Thanks Mom!!  Cal and I attended a fundraiser for a charity called Generously Giving Back.  A friend of ours is on the board and this is their big fundraiser for the year.  It was at a restaurant in China town and the meal was 'authentic' ... the first course was jelly fish (which I did not care for!!)!  It was an interesting meal (I can say I really enjoyed 3 of the courses!!) and a fun night out with friends.  Our babysitter is babysitting for us this weekend, as we head to a pub night in support of our friends hockey team :)

Other than work, school, extra curricular activities and volunteering here, there and everywhere, not much else is new around here!!  I don't know if I blogged about Blake having pneumonia but he did and he's now over it.  A cough hung on for a loooong time (or so it felt) but is gone now (knock on wood).  I have to take him in for an asthma test as his pediatrician was questioning if he has asthma or not but the test results were not clear, due to his pneumonia.  Reese has had a cough off and on, more on than off.  I haven't taken them in for their flu shots yet, as they need to be 100% before they can get them.  I feel like Em and Blake could get them now but I'm not sure about Reese.  I had mine at work and Cal still needs his!  I might take Em and Blake in tomorrow.

We're looking forward to Demo of Learning at the kids school on Dec 2nd, first year for us with all 3 kids in the same school!!  It will be a jam-packed few hours ;)  Demo of Learning is always a fun night.  It's great to see their school work and especially awesome to see how proud they are of their classrooms and work :)

Hopefully I'll be motivated/inspired to update the blog a little more regularly ;)
