So I missed a few days again, oops. Where's my comittment here?? It was a gorgeous weekend. Saturday I woke up and went yard saling. How awesome! Spring is for sure here when there are a bunch of yard sales. I went to quite a few too. I got some comics for Grant, and a couple of games for his PSP handheld game system. I got Maiya a bunch of clothes for a decent price, and I got a fun looking toolkit full of tons of play doh accessories for $1.00 that I got for the nursery. Kaitlyn, McKenna and Maiya all wanted to go with me. So they came along. Loved it! Like mother like daughters, haha! Grant went to the movies at night with Caleb, Shawna and Tyler. They went to go see the "Wolverine" movie. Meg came and hung out with me, and brought Sammie (her puppy) along with her. He is just the cutest thing. We were going to go take some photos that I had in mind, but Grant had accidentally taken my keys with him to the movies in his pocket, so we just walked in the dog walk area and took a few shots. On Sunday we got ready for church. I changed the way that the nursery was going. This week I split it back into the 2 sides. It was soooo much easier and way less stress. After church we went to Nose Creek Park to have a picnic with the Sherlocks. We had bought some KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) the night before and brought that, potato salad, macaroni salad, and juice. Alex made some cupcakes for dessert. It was such a nice day for a picnic. The kids especially enjoyed themselves. They love hanging out with their cousins. We stayed there for quite a while and then came home and had family home evening. We just sang a few songs, and Kaitlyn read us a story from "The Friend".

Now onto today. This morning after we got up and sent the older kids off to school, we decided to go to Costco to go pick up some things in bulk. I was so excited, but let me tell you...I did not see much of a price difference. Everything seemed to be on par with Superstore (which is our grocery store of choice). We didn't end up getting anything. I got a few groceries that we were needing when we got home, but I am going to do the actual grocery shopping tomorrow. Grant went off to the gym again. He is enjoying it. I spent the afternoon outside with the kids. It was so nice out. I just sat there and read my book while Catcher, Maiya and Tyson rode their bikes and played on the slide etc. Damian brought home a small evergreen tree today that he is supposed to plant and take care of. He was so happy about it. Our neighbour, Mrs. Goody (an elderly english woman) gave Damian a big pot to put it in and some soil. I am so happy that we have such a good neighbour. She is always so helpful and nice to my kids. At about 6:30pm the kids all came inside for baths and dinner. I pretty much left the house to itself this weekend, so there was (and still is) a lot of cleaning ahead of me. I did a bunch tonight, but I think I will go read a bit and then head off to bed.
