Today at Rhyming group at the library the theme was winter which FINALLY seems to be coming to a close. The little baby Shelby Emanuel loves to watch was there and he played with a crayon today during crafts. I had a great time talking to a couple of the moms and one of the dads. One of the kids in the group has a nut allergy – peanuts only actually so we were talking about allergies and such (the twins and eggs). So relaxing just me and Emanuel. Next week is PJ’s! So Emanuel is supposed to come in his. I am not sure yet if I want to go with one of his sleepers or one of his new two piece pj’s I got at Walmart last month. I guess it will depend how chilly it is out.
We got our grocery shopping done today, Ken and the twins sat and had pizza – well Ken ate the pizza they played with straws. I spent just over $200.00 but we are set for the week. This Wednesday I think will just be bits and pieces and going to Walmart and maybe getting some aida cloth – they sell it by the metre! just about $13.00 a metre I think which does mean I will have to cut to suit.
We checked out the new dollar store in town – Dollarama – everything is a dollar (plus the 6% gst of course) we were surprised at some of the brand names you could get there but I still like the one I go to downtown. Stuff is more than a dollar but I can get tons of party supplies and they have a really nice scrapbooking/crafts section.
We gave Emanuel banana without mashing it, he even tried biting it right off the banana but it was not ripe enough for his two tiny teeth. He seems to be growing up in leaps and bounds. Monday we are going to let him get into the fingerpaints. Maybe if he does it the twins will finally give in and get their fingers dirty???
Well hopefully we will make it to church tomorrow – the weather is nice enough to walk but Ken’s toe is not. I have a muffin mix I want to try out in the afternoon and I am sure Ken will want to play WoW. Monday is a holiday – Family Day – so Ken will be home and hopefully over the next 2 days our room will get cleaned as well as some of our chores done. We still need to go to the storage unit and get the Learning House back out for Emanuel to play with. So much to do, so many kids and so little time!
