Wonderful Weekend!

We've had a fantastic weekend! I was saying to Cal today that I was worried the weekend would FLY by, but I don't feel like it has.

Friday morning the kids and I went to Londonderry Mall to do some shopping and have lunch! Blake really needed splash pants, so (in his words) his pants don't get soaked when he's jumping in puddles!! After naps we headed out to test out the new splash pants! Blake loves jumping in puddles, the bigger the splash the better! And Emerson finds it very entertaining - she giggles and giggles!!! It has been so nice outside, we've been lucky considering it's only the beginning of March. Friday evening Blake and I went to gymnastics. It was the first class of the Spring II session. As always, he had a lot of fun. He's been practicing his forward roll at home all week long, but didn't do it at gymnastics. He said, "Maybe next week Mom." Okay Blake ... and of course he's been practicing all over the house again this weekend!!

Saturday Cal was in a curling bonspiel with my Dad. They played 4 games and had a lot of fun. With my Mom's help, I took the kids to their swimming lessons Saturday a.m. It's a 2 person job, because when Em's swimming someone has to be with Blake and vice versa! Emerson's lesson is first and I thought we were running late, so we got ready really quickly and ended up out on the pool deck 15 minutes early. She was so excited to get in the water, it was hard to keep a hold on her!! She loves swimming and the water. She loves to dip her head in the water! I'm not sure if she's trying to take a drink or imitating me blowing bubbles?! Blake's favorite things to do at swimming lessons are singing songs, going down the slide and jumping off the edge of the pool (into our arms!!)! He's getting so big though and he jumps really hard and high off the edge of the pool, I found it quite tiring to catch him!! Linds came over to visit while the kids were napping and when they woke up we went to watch Cal and Dad curl. Blake loves watching curling on t.v. and had a lot of fun at the curling rink!

This morning we ran a few errands and being it was another gorgeous day outside, we went to the "good" park this afternoon! The good park is a few minutes drive away, but is a lot of fun. It has a fire truck, a quad, a car, lots of slides and a lot of other cool playground equipment that Blake loves!! He has hilarious at the park - go, go, go, go. Never stopped the whole time we were there! He was making up stories about driving the car to Home Depot and then Costco and then Shoppers (not Shoppers Drug Mart, he just called it Shoppers!!) and we'd have to get in and out of the car at each stop and he'd put whatever we bought in the back, it was so fun!! And it was neat to see him join in playing with a group of boys who he didn't know!

Blake's been testing Cal lately when Cal puts him to bed! He asks Cal to sing a new song. So Cal's been racking his brains coming up with new songs!! I always get away with singing the same song!! Tonight after Cal put Blake to bed, we heard Blake singing "Give me that wink!!!" Cal said he's sang it to him twice!!! lol!! All she's gotta do is just give me that wink ... Another favorite of Blake's right now is Oh Canada! He loves music and singing, that's for sure ;)

It's back to work for me tomorrow! Hopefully the week will go by fast!! I'm looking forward to the Mom, Pop and Tots fair on Friday morning. I've gone for the past 3 years and it's always a lot of fun! Have a great week everyone :)

Luv Tracy
