WOW

Things have been slowly getting into a routine here.  Saturday the kids have swimming lessons in High Prairie- which is 30 minutes away.  The first session they were back to back lessons, so we would have to keep Laura entertained while John was in the water for 45 minutes.  Then Matt and Laura would go in together.  Swimming is daddy's thing.   John would play dinosaurs with the other kids while Laura was swimming.  Now this session they are at the same time, which is awesome cause I have been taking them and Matt's been doing lots of yard work.  

Last weekend was beautiful, we managed to do 2 loads to the dump, 2 loads of junk to the burn pile- when we bought the house there was a playhouse here, we had to get a backhoe to dig the earth beside the one wall as it was starting to crumble, well then playhouse broke down (thank god then and not when the kids were playing!)  .  We also did a lot of burning, and actually had ice cream by the fire.  However this weekend is another story- It took me 45 minutes to get to swimming 1 hour to come back, the roads were horrible, there was like 2 feet of snow over night.  Last weekend was Easter, it was really weird just being the 4 of us.  

Sundays, we are usually doing something around the house or playing.  

Monday Laura has speech therapy for an hour.  She's STUBBORN, she does not take after her mom one bit....or her dad!! hahaha

Tuesdays- Wednesday and Thursday- John has playschool- I have to pick him up at noon, however we try to go to playgroup.  The library in Falher started a mom and tot time on Tuesdays and the one in McLennan on Thursdays.  We absolutely try to make them.  Girouxville has playtime also on Wednesdays we try to go there but not always.  Cafe Nord in Falher is also a good place to go play with little miss, and bonus, if the kids are good on the weekend we go Mondays or Fridays!! john likes to go..

Fridays- John's favorite day is pop day- If he's been good all week he can have pop with either dinner or a movie.  

At the end of March Gramma and Papa came over- Gramma was here for a week and Papa Friday to Tuesday.  It was great to have them here.  The boys started taking apart the bathroom, Matt ordered a one piece tub, however then they tried to put it in, it was TOO BIG.  So now we are totally renovating the bathroom, It's going to have a corner tub with jets (its in my living room right now!) We also decided to drywall the bathroom as it was a dark room since it doesn't have windows. 

I digress yet again. When Gramma was over she saw John's playschool, met his teacher, met a friend and her kids.  We went to Peace River and then the day before they left we went to Grande Prairie to swim with the dinosaurs, we went the weekend of my birthday in March and the kids loved it, we thought maybe the kids would love to go there with Gramma and Papa.  They got a hotel and the kids had PIZZA HUT!! (a huge treat as it has real pepperoni- around where we live the pizza has big pepperoni - its more like salami)

It was sad to see them go, however Gramma decided she couldn't wait till July to see us again that she is coming in May.!!!

So our schedule is as follows for the months to come
