Back to normal now....

Well we had a very nice visit with Daddy this weekend...short, but really nice. It started out with his plane getting delayed by about an hour, but that was ok, because the roads were really bad...there were accidents everywhere due to an unexpected and unforcasted snow storm. It wasn't too bad by the time we got up to the Big Tire on I94 though...because the traffic had slowed down to about 50km/hr...and that's a whole lot more reassuring to drive at that speed in white out conditions. We've had a little bit of snow around here, but really not much. Thank goodness! This is the first year I have prayed for no snow at all...I really don't want to shovel that driveway by myself this year. Todd and I generally take turns doing a little here and there!

We all had a good time though this weekend. We played a whole bunch of games, like Twister, Snakes and Ladders, Chess, Puzzles...etc. But the thing the boys liked most was that our date night was cancelled! (bummer for Todd and I, but the boys were thrilled) We feel bad that Grandma was sick with the flu, but rather than going out, we went and rented the boys a movie and they watched Ice Age 2 and ordered in a pizza. They loved that! So date night was replaced with Family Movie Night! Not bad really! It was lovely.

Then on Sunday morning, Todd and Jake stayed home to spend some alone time while the other boys and I went to church. It was a nice service as part of the message was dedicated to my friend Anne, who is suffering from Acute Leukemia. We prayed for her and her family (Sheila, her daughter, is one of my close friends). There is a day to donate blood in her honour and I helped pass out information sheets about that. I really hope they get lots that day.

On Sunday afternoon, Josh and Daddy had a little alone time (with Jake hovering of course! LOL) and then we packed up and went on our way to the states to take Daddy back to the airport. We decided to make a couple stops before hand and then went out for dinner at Chili's in Canton before we dropped him off. We went in and said our goodbyes and off we went. Our first visit was over before we realized it got started! Kind of a bummer, but a blessing it happened at all...!

This week should be quite busy...the boys have their activities (Cubs and Beavers) and school. I have a full week of Day Care and it's a MOPS week. Josh has his school chess tournament on Tuesday morning. I hope that goes well for him...he really wants to go to the Canadian Chess Challenge again. So I hope that works out.

Ok...well sadly it's homework time around here, which means it's chaotic time too..dinner, homework and fighting children! Oh what fun!

Hope you have a great night!
