Busy few weeks
The last few weeks have been so busy that I can hardly believe we are already into the second week of June.
My cousin Megan came for a visit with her new boyfriend Paul. They were going to stay one night, head to Kingston for a conference and then do their own thing from there but we had so much fun that she came back for a second night after the conference.
We had a fun night out at the Brooklin Fair again. Lots of rides, music, food, and fun! We even got to see one of the teachers at the kids school's son's band play so that was cool.
Shawn K, the best man from our wedding got married to Violette on June 2nd and we were so excited to share their day with them. It was a wedding in Scarborough which worked out perfectly as the morning was busy with Hadley doing her first ever piano recital, also in Scarborough. Hadley played A Thousand Years by Christina Perri. She did such a great job! From here we had lunch out, went to the wedding and then since we were in Scarborough we were able to check out the Blue Sky Bakery between the wedding and reception. This is a bakery owned by the parents of Kids in Hadley and Easton's class. Following some yummy treats we went to party at the wedding reception which was in Vaughn! Easton had dance moves that lasted all night, and Hadley made it until about 11. I was feeling a little under the weather but made the most of it as it was such a special day.
Scientists in the school came to our school and I helped out with the grade one's and the grade twos. I was there all day and had a blast with bugs and microscopes.
Jump Rope For Heart. This year the kids decided to get their pledges on the same sponsor sheet and work together. While they were aiming for $1000, they got to $350 after making many phone calls! They even wrote out thank you notes for all that sponsored them!
This year we decided to check out the peony festival in Oshawa. The kids know peony's from playing Minecraft. The flowers were beautiful, being outside with family was lovely, and there were crafts and food everywhere!
We took the kids to the humane society for the first time. They saw all the animals that needed forever homes. Hadley thinks she has found her calling... feed and cuddle kittens until they find forever homes. We played games, and did a few things on site to raise money for the humane society as they were having a fundraising fun day. We got our cats nails clipped and enjoyed the day. The kids loved it! They even came home with adopted stuffed animals.
Julie's wedding shower was this past weekend. There was a fantastic turnout at Ed and Nora's. There were games that included hula hoops, toilet plunger tosses, bottle knock downs with panty hose on heads, skipping and spoon/egg races. We had a good time! Just a side note: Nora's new kitchen is beautiful!
Life is so busy but I wouldn't have it any other way! I love enjoying each awesome moment!
