May
This has been a very busy month.
Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that Brian has been travelling so much. He was away for 15 of the days.
The kids and I busied ourselves with swimming lessons, a movie night at the school (Zootopia), playdates with the neighbours, hockey registration, baseball starting up, volunteer work at the school (the regular, as well as some extra work to hopefully get funding for a breakfast program next year, and jump rope for heart); I hosted an Epicure party, we met up for dinner with Melissa and Cailum one night. Then came the long weekend, which Brian was also away for, so we went to the Markham Museum, which had a cool construction zone play area, mini golf and a few other cool areas.
One of the nights we went to our old neighbourhood for fireworks and Adam and Hadley were happy to be reunited.
This week Brian is home, and since he had been working so much he was able to take the morning off and join Easton and I for his class trip to the Pioneer village.
It was a fantastic day outside and Brian's group (with Easton) and my group were actually lumped together so it all worked out perfectly!
Last night was the Lakeside fun fair. The kids always have a blast at this event. It means a late bedtime, and sugary snacks but good times. I saw about 5 or so of the parents I knew from when Hadley was there, and a bunch of kids.
This morning we went to a MOM2MOM sale, and then spent the majority of the day at Easton and Hadley's baseball photos. After Easton's photos we took the kids to McDonalds for lunch, and then after Hadley's pictures there was a skills competition followed by pizza, chips, timbits, and cotton candy.
This week I am helping out with scientist in the school for the grade one class, and EQAO scribing for three days for kids that need a little help getting their ideas on paper for provincial testing. So the pace isn't slowing.
However, I wouldn't have it any other way.
