Aka the moment we went from living quietly to social explosion!

Yup our sedentary lifestyle got a bit of a JOLT the past two days… it all started with an early evening phonecall while the boys were in the tub… Grandma Anna and Mike with Harley in tow were in the city and after a quick bite to eat on their way over! The boys were in puppy and Grandparent HEAVEN. Even Trinity got in on the fun and deigned to touch the silly doggy… I figure one more visit and she will be just as glommed on that dog as the other 3. I must admit Harley puppy is quite the gal! And obedient.. so obedient!!!

This visit was quite the exciting thing because not only was there visitors BUT they also got to stay up SUPER late… today was equally exciting with plans to go to the City Hall fountain. These are plans that were originally made for the day previous but weather worked against us. Luckily the friends we made plans with had an equally flexible schedule and were able to rework things. So at 3:30 we braved the beginning of rush hour traffic and headed out to downtown. Which, just to alert anyone on their way there – the parkade parking has gotten A LOT more expensive… before 6 pm.. 2 dollars a HALF HOUR! Ouch but we certainly got our 5 dollars worth!

To make things even MORE fun we planned this event with a friend of mine from high school Chris and his girlfriend also Chris! It was great to catch up and hang out and just generally have some adult time! I am hoping next week when we go to the Leg they can join us! Only later in the day when the parking is CHEAPER!!!!

So now that the “soccer team” are all tucked away in bed and I have AT LEAST an hour of cleaning and organizing for tomorrow to do I am starting to look forward to tomorrow… and why might that be? Well, we are going out of our comfort zone a little and heading out to a homeschool meet up! A friend on Facebook gave me the heads up on this event, so I figure we will go… meet her in person… have the kids socialize a bit and find out more about the association that puts on the event! That ends our run of socializing for Friday all I have planned is a trip to the park for the boys with their daddy! But whew have we made up for living quietly!

I also have a finish to report! Last night I finally sat down and finished up the bib I bought back in Minnesota for Trinity. I am VERY happy with how the lettering worked out and hope to use the pattern again!

And with that I really SHOULD clean up the livingroom and make that loaf of bread and face the lessons for tomorrow… wish me luck!
