Busy Day!!

Phew ... this Momma is tired!  lol!  Cal's Mom and Grandma are visiting from Grande Prairie.  They stayed the night at our house last night.  We had a really nice visit, it was great to see them.  The kids didn't play shy and really enjoyed having them here!  Blake was very excited for the "Grandma's" to arrive, all afternoon he was calling for them and watching out the window!  This morning, we visited for a bit and then the kids and I met Lesley, Colby and Jenna downtown for the Capital Ex parade.  Bev and Grandma did some shopping while we were at the parade, and we all met up for lunch afterwards.  The kids were great at the parade.  The boys really enjoyed watching the floats, marching bands, horses, etc.  Emerson snuggled up close to me for the first hour of the parade, pointing out the horsies, and then decided it was time to dance a little ;)  Lunch was interesting ... Blake was pretty hyper and for some reason couldn't keep his hands off Colby!!  But they weren't too bad, just boys being boys!!  After leaving the restaurant I drove around for a good hour, while Em napped!  I finally decided to stop and we did some shopping at Micheal's and Thyme Maternity.  Blake was quite helpful in Thyme!  I picked up a green t-shirt and he said to me, "Do you like that beautiful green shirt Mom?  I do!"  What a guy :)  Although, this morning I was wondering if he was 3 or 13?!?  The last week or so, he's started on this, "I don't" phase.  "I don't want to get dressed."  "I don't want to say please." etc, etc.  And it's said in a very sassy tone ... OOY!!!!  I've heard from a few people that the 2's really aren't that terrible (and they weren't for Blake!) but that 3 is a challenging year! 

I had a Dr. appointment yesterday morning.  The babies heart beat was between 130 and 140 bpm.  It was moving so much it was hard to catch an accurate measurement!  That is right around what Blake's heart rate was ... hmmm ... lol!  I'm measuring right on track and have to go for the gestational diabetes test within the next month.  I'm also going to get my iron levels checked at the same time. 

I'm so excited for our trip to Canmore tomorrow!!  EEK!  And I'm sure the kids and Grandma and Grandpa D will have a blast too!!  Have a great weekend everyone :)
