Yikes. What happened to my daily journal?? It seemed like while the kids were out of school last week for spring break, I just didn't get a chance to do this. I will recap a little of what went on last week during their break. So we had LOTS of kids in our house over spring break. The kids had a "friend" day where they were able to invite one friend each over. I had 10 kids in the house that day. Not to mention Kaitlyns friend Natasha stayed with us over the break during the days. McKenna went to her friend Isabella's quite a bit that week. Kaitlyn had a sleepover with her friend Natasha. Grant took all of the kids to chuck e cheese. I took Kaitlyn and McKenna to go see the movie "17 Again". Lots of outdoor play and parks. Tons of sorting and spring cleaning for me. Meg came over one day while Grant and Caleb went to the movies, to show us her new puppy, Samson (Sammie). He is a little golden retriever/lab. Such a cutie. The kids LOVED him. Even the kids who are usually nervous of animals (McKenna and Catcher) warmed up to him a bit. Now they want a dog, but there's no way I am ready for a pet at this point. On Sunday we had the Adam's family over for dinner. That is pretty much all of the hilights I can remember for now. Oh and yesterday Grant got a gym membership. He wants to work on his health and physique :)

Today has been a fairly slow day for me to get going. It has gone from some gorgeous temperatures (+20) down to a chilly +2 today. Yuck!! I knew I shouldn't hold my breath for full fledged spring in Alberta just yet.
