A Busy Weekend

What a weekend! Travel, friends, a little shopping, breakfast at a restaurant… and no little boys! Is it any wonder I am completely worn out now? It was so worth it though.

We started our Saturday off VERY early with getting the family ready and out the door and on our way to Chris and Chris’ place to drop off the boys for the weekend. They were very excited about the idea of staying the night there – after all they had a tent, ferrets, a dog AND 2 cats.  Apparently their visit went rather well, everyone had fun and the animals were not terrorized too badly. (sorry no pictures)

After dropping off the boys we headed south the Ken’s LAN party and Fydo (Chris) and Kristen’s new home. They live in the same city as Karyn which is also the place we are considering for our move early next year. Not the exact neighbourhoods of course but that city. I have to say I LOVE their new home. We had a bit of trouble finding it since Google maps does not even have their area yet – too new of a development. I spent the evening visiting with Kristen while Trinity enjoyed her stairs and playing with her toy bag. In fact, Trinity behaved terrifically basically the whole time we were there – though she refused to spend the whole night in the playpen and slept in the bed with Ken and myself. As the only kid there she was very happy to play and wander and generally exude cuteness.

Keeping busy

The next day I got a hold of Karyn and Kristen, Karyn, Trinity and I went out to a place called Phil’s for a delicious breakfast and then to Michaels for some impulse shopping. Trinity and I did very well buying only 5 scrapbook pages (20 cents a piece) and a 1.50 rubber ducky (though she wanted 3 or 4 of them!). This got us back to Kristen and Fydo’s a little after lunch time and the time we needed to leave to collect the boys.

We had supper at Chris and Chris’ and then headed home. The last leg of the journey was rather taxing for me, way too long in the vehicle. We were definitely ALL glad to be home! I took some time last night and finished up the two scrapbook pages for Yoyo and Jon’s wedding for Trinity’s book. Simple but I think the result is a nice look!

I have also been mocking up some pages for things I don’t have pictures for yet. I am hoping to get working on mocking up most of the ones Emanuel’s book is behind on. Then I can take my time ordering the photos. I am only about 2 years behind and hindsight has me a lot more selective as to which events and pictures are most necessary for a little BOY’S album. I would love to get him all up to date before the year is over… though I shudder to think of how far behind I am on the twins’ books.

We took some pictures today with the kids… I am not sure if I got the actual look I was hoping for but it is neat to see all their tiny hands there together!

36 weeks!

All 4 hands - though I think Ken will "clean up" some fingernails :)

The plan for the rest of the week is rather day by day. I want to meet up with Nathan, Ada and Anna before my doctor’s appointment so we can walk them through putting in our carseats in case of need, the twins have a library program on evening and of course there is the shifting of the kids into their new rooms… Where has the time gone?
