Wednesday December 16, 2009




So this morning since the weather has been much nicer, we decided it was time to rid ourselves of all of our recycling that has been piling up into Mount Everest in our garage. Grant went to the gym this morning, then we loaded our van with a van load full of recycling (it's been a while). As soon as Grant got back, I went out to go Visiting teaching. I always feel good after I've done so. Grant was going to take Maiya and Tyson swimming at the rec centre, but his car keys happened to be sitting in the front seat of my van...so needless to say, they didn't end up going. They did enjoy about 2 hours of playing in the snow and helping Dad clean up the driveway though. Sounds like they had a blast. They've been pretty cooped up in the house with the extreme cold weather, so they were thrilled to breathe real outdoor air :)
When I got home, it was almost time for the kids to get home from school. I made dinner, and Kaitlyn got ready for swimming lessons. It was Maiya's day to open the advent calendar. She chose "Go to the Festival of Lights". So after swimming, we all got ready and went over to Nose Creek Park to walk around and enjoy the Festival of Lights. It was really nice weather for it too. Lots of ice skaters on the frozen pond, and Santa was there (and Catcher wouldn't go anywhere near him, he found him scary). Everyone nodded off fairly fast for bed tonight, as they were all so tired from the days activities. Kaitlyn also had a school dance today, so I believe she was first to fall asleep. Grant is grocery shopping at the moment. Poor guy, he hasn't really stopped for a breather today. What a trooper!
