Our weekend has just flown by! Saturday was hot and humid feeling with severe thunderstorm warnings from the very beginning of the day. We spent it VERY close to home, keeping the kids inside for the afternoon when it reached around 32 cel. The boys spent the majority of their day in the basement playing with their toys in a room that felt almost cold! Trinity on the otherhand spent most of hers upstairs as she was snacking on bread and drinking her water almost constantly and I do not want food OR drink in the basement playroom on the newer carpet the owners had to put down last year!
To cool our poor baby girl down we dug out the baby tub and put it in the middle of the livingroom on top of some towels. She was in splashing bath heaven and stayed in it for at least 30 min and was FURIOUS when daddy went to dump it out… following him in the buff and shrieking her displeasure as he did so.
Beating the Heat
Saturday evening was a whole different story. We put the kids all down to bed and BANG literally the storm hit! Everything from rain to hail to gale force feeling winds… down the street from us either the wind or a lightning strike (there was one that felt like it hit RIGHT HERE) knocked down half a tree! In fact, there are branches down all over the place and our backyard has toys tossed EVERYWHERE. Luckily we did not lose power but the flickers meant Ken gave up on his computer for most of the night in favour of playing the DS.
Poor storm abused tree!
Thankfully the storm broke the heat wave BUT today was miserably windy and cool. We made the executive decision NOT to go to church this morning in favour of letting Trinity relax after her miserable day in the heat and lifted the tv restrictions on the boys. This gave Ken and myself.

The meal was delicious and desert was ice cream and chocolate sauce (thanks Ted!)… We finally left for home around 7pm tired, but happy kids in tow.
Xinny and Ken and ICE CREAM!
Mmm Ice Cream!
So the weather has not co-operated exactly but it looks like the week will improve which is GREAT. Tomorrow the twins and Ken are off to the local library to meet a Police Dog and then the plan is to head over to a Produce store that is supposed to have some terrific prices… I still need to plan our trip to the Leg and Thursday is that Homeschool group park day that I definitely want to go to again, though we will probably only stay for an hour to accomodate Ken and his need to “Get things done!” All in all a much busier week than I originally anticipated coming up! Definitely a good thing!
We did miss my Nephew Jimmie’s first birthday here in Cananda… he is 4 now! But my mom and her brother managed to make the party and I did send my love and our best wishes. I am still holding out hope that we will head south to visit in a month or two. Distances can be hard but Ken and I are planning on popping a special homemade card in the mail this week to remind him we are thinking about him! I do believe his mom has posted pictures from the party on her Facebook account so if you know her be sure to check them out!
All in all my day was good – though the weather did not play nice most everyone else did!
