I feel like a dog chasing my tail most days ... not a visual I like but a fitting analogy none-the-less!!
March is nearly over and it's been a great month! Actually, I'll go back to the end of February and teacher's convention. Blake and I hit Sundridge on the Thursday for a day of skiing/snowboarding with friends. Blake sure loves snowboarding and I enjoy having an excuse to ski ;) The morning started out quite warm but it soon took a turn for the worse! The wind was soooo cold. It was a good thing Blake and I both had balaclava's on! Blake didn't want to go in to warm up, no matter what! He rode that bunny hill until the second we had to leave!!! I'm glad we got out on teacher's convention, as his school trip that was planned for March 19th was cancelled due to warm weather (which I'm chuckling about now, as we are once again below zero and there's a fresh layer of snow on the ground!! Good 'ol AB weather!!). On Friday I had a Cameron's Closet meet, so the 3 kids got to come along for the ride! They really don't mind and it is a lot easier to bring them along now vs. 3 years ago when I began this venture! After the meets we went to the Tamminga's house for a play date. Blake and Bradley are best of friends but rarely get to see each other, so it was great for them to spend the afternoon together.
March has brought many other exciting events:
- all 3 kids had another sleepover at G&G D's, while Cal and I celebrated a friends 40th birthday. They had a blast, as did we!
- we registered Reese for preschool, starting in September! M/W/F a.m. She's excited and more than ready!
- my sister and family moved to Edmonton (so, so, so exciting, I can't even put into words how happy I am about this move!!)
- we finally got to meet our new nephew Mason and the kids got to meet their new cousin! They were very, very excited to meet Mason and hold him :)
- my parents headed south with their 5th wheel for their annual spring vacation, we miss them already!
- Blake and the Bobcats participated in the Timbits tournament on the 15th and 16th. It was a fun weekend, spent at the rink with teammates and friends. We all enjoyed a team lunch at BP's and 3 well-played games! I'm very proud of all the kids on the team, everyone has improved immensely! I'm most especially proud of my boys. I'm really looking forward to Novice next year! Bring on the competition ;) Not keeping score was okay for a bit but I'm ready to get into full-on hockey Mom mode ... where's my cow bell?! Ha ha ha!
- I accompanied Em and her preschool to the Muttart for a field trip. It was a fantastic morning! The most exciting part was when the kids all got to release a ladybug! Such a fun field trip and very educational :)
- Blake's second report card of the year was fabulous and his Demo of Learning even more fabulous!! We're so proud of Blake and his eagerness for learning. He is a great student and classmate.
- and last, but not least, WE'RE GETTING NEW CARPET!! Okay, I'm just a little bit excited ... but seriously, get this old, gross carpet outta my house. Can't wait to see the new carpet in and breathe a sigh of relief ;)
We're looking forward to the remainder of March and patiently waiting for the Spring-like weather to return ...
