May Long Weekend
This weekend was busy as always! Friday I started physio for my hips. This meant and still means that I am actually in quite a bit of pain. However I continue to do the exercises in hopes that the pain will eventually go away.
My friend Melissa dropped off two boxes of clothing for Easton on Friday which was awesome and I was able to give her a tour of the house. It was her first time seeing it other than in photos.
While we wish we could have been in two places at once... 1. To celebrate Lindsay's mom's 60th at the NEW cottage which I have yet to see... I was still EXTREMELY happy that our good friends Ryan, Jenny (their kids), Shawn and Brian's dad all came to help put in the wide plank pine on the main floor of the new house. The help was MUCH appreciated and it looks AWESOME!
While Jenny watched the kids, I got started on finishing the floors (but stopped after one room) only to find out that it was the wrong finish despite the test board.
So, after renting a sanding machine, by the end of the weekend I was almost back to where I started with raw wood. I just have to sand the edges and we should be back to square one.
Jenny and I managed to get the kids out to Whitby shores park and to the Glow In The Dark Mini Putt. The kids loved this as well as the arcade fun.
Sunday night I took the kids to the crescent near our current home where Hadley and Easton met up with Adam, James, and Alex from our street, (myself met up with Tara, Jill and Marc) for fireworks. Brian was tired from all the flooring and opted to stay home.
Alex lives just a few doors down and is seven also. She and Hadley love playing together. Hadley was also very happy to see Adam.
Sunday night Easton was up from 2:30 am to 7:30 am straight. UGH. Leg pain.
Monday we wished Jason (My sisters husband) birthday wishes from afar and had our neighbours over for some hotdogs and marshmallows.
The kids played great with Matthew. (Their little boy). In October they are due to have another little baby. So we are excited for them.
It was great to have this bonding time and I think there will be many more get togethers in our future.
