Single Parent

Larissa left for Calgary EARLY Tuesday morning (same flight I took to T.O.) at 5:40 am. Since then I have been a single parent with a cold. We enlisted Lorraine to watch the kids while I was at work from Tuesday-Thursday. I took Friday off. With me being sick - I ended up in bed on Tuesday and Wednesday while the kids were at Lorraine's. I managed to drag myself into work on Thursday.

So far so good - last year at this time the worms were trying to commit suicide (you may remember).

Nothing like that yet...I managed to get Hope to her riding lesson on Wednesday evening, and the kids and I have been happy, busy and well fed for the most part.

On Friday I took a pint of blueberries and the family to Mariecke's - she made everyone blueberry pancakes for breakfast. We stayed all morning for a play and a visit. We ran home for a quick lunch and then met the Bober clan at the theater for 'Horton Hears a Who' - a $2 end of summer matinee special.

On Saturday (today) the weather was nicer, and we headed down to the Craft fair/ exhibition that was going on at Officer's square. Hope and Alex played with some clay and Hope also painted some pictures. We listed to some live music and then headed home for lunch. After a lazy early afternoon, we went to Odell park to play, walk and feed the ducks. We ended up at Mariecke's for dinner. She provided the accessories and the BBQ - we brought the meat! The kids played - and I had the opportunity to visit with Randall - haven't seen him in a while.

Tomorrow morning we go to the Country Pumpkin to see the animals and playground - then to Green Village for Butterflies and ice cream. Yum! Butterflies! ;)

Haven't decided on the afternoon - maybe a bike ride!
