Later we all ended up down at Craig and Jo's. They had a couple staying with them who had a wee one exactly Ainsley's age. They put them down and Kevin put our two down as well. Then the fun started!! We played games and sang karaoke. God Almighty!! We were ALL bad!! Jeez I laughed til I almost threw up. Got home late and Kevin stayed the night down there.
They got back here around nine in the morning and some how the Easter bunny had come and I didn't hear him!!! The kids went downstairs with bags and loaded up!!! So much fun!!! The bunny also left a couple of awesome toys that I was hoping would keep them busy whilst Kev and I could watch the latest episode of Survivor. We are huge fans, every week we phone each other and discuss. We have never had the opportunity to watch one together!
So, as the kids were about to bust open their toys, Kev came into the kitchen and said they had to leave. And leave right now!. I must admit I got a little testy. They were supposed to come over one week before the long weekend and they didn't. Then at least they were here for the weekend, but no..I guess not. But he was so distressed with whatever was happening at home that was calling him back I backed off right away. I felt bad for him. So off they went. Fenton was sure not happy about it I must say.
One night this week I got to babysit Ainsley. She has been so sick with croup. But I had the best time playing with her. You forget how such simple things as drips of water from a sippy cup into a regular cup can be so captivating! Also she is at that magical age where she repeats any word you ask her to say. I love it. She even says Monte. She says "Maweee" Its so cute.
Last night Kathy and I went to the last hockey game (for us) of the season. The Blazers are doing swimmingly well and they won again last night. The crowd was LOUD!!! We started with a lovely dinner at the pub then the loud crazy ride down to the game. A very happy noisy crowd rode home afterwards.
Well today is decision day on the garden outside. Depending on the price, I think I am going to put two raised garden beds on the front lawn. I have two front lawns, an upper one and a lower one. The upper one, closest to the house, isn't visible from the road so thats the one I am going to use. I want to grow beets and carrots for pickling. Plus other simple things. Its going to have to basically take care of itself though. It will get automatically watered by my inground system and it will get all day sunshine. My dad and my mom would be happy. I am under no illusion though that its going to be a great garden. I do not have a green thumb. Kathy and I are heading out to the garden centres this afternoon. I am going to go talk to the people at Lyons...they are the ones who take care of my place. It might be wiser to get them to build the boxes and fill them. We'll see.
Well I best get my day started. Kevin suggested that to make walking more interesting and easier to get to, (I hate walking...shovel list big time) I should download pod casts on my phone and listen to them as I walk. He suggested one called Serial. Its about a murder and its about ten or twelve episodes long, a page turner! Each episode is about 45 minutes and you must NOT listen to them at home in your comfy chair. It makes you want to get out there and walk so you can hear the next segment. So I shall put on my giant uncool headphones and go awalkin' in a much better frame of mind! TTYL (as usual all the pictures are totally out of order...stupid blog)
