This morning started out fairly early. I usually wake up at 6:45am to greet Natasha (Kaitlyn's friend who I watch before and after school), but this morning she came at about 7:15am. This could've been a 1/2 hour extra of sleep, but Tyson decided it was time to wake up. Booooo!!!
McKenna was supposed to go on a swimming trip with her class today, but it was just too cold (they walk to the rec centre) so it was cancelled. I just can't believe that on Monday and Tuesday it was +20 and then yesterday and today have been snowy, and -7 or so. Yuck! To fight off the winter blues, my friend Sue and I went to Chuck E Cheese with the kids. (Just Catcher, Maiya and Tyson of my kids since the others were in school). Sue had never been before and neither had her kids. So that made it even more fun. It was a great time and all of the kids were well behaved. We went over to the food court at the mall and had lunch together as well.
Grant ended up switching his shift, so he was home during the day. He went and did the grocery shopping and went to the gym while we were out. We are trying very hard to eat a lot healthier in our family, and I am really impressed with the effect it's had on my kids. One of Damian's favourite snacks (for the moment) is oatmeal. Imagine that, the stuff I despised growing up that we ate every morning for breakfast. After school I had a full house. All 6 of my kids, Abby (who I watch after school everyday) Natasha and her brother (their Mom had parent/teacher interviews). Kaitlyn and Natasha had their last choir practice of the year today. They each received a pin for being in the choir for the school year. They were so proud. Well, Grant will get home tonight at 9pm or so. It will be nice to just relax and hang out.
