Week 2 Day 7 - Thursday, May 28th - Wet play!

Well a few more fuse flicks later and I figured enough was enough! I went down for a nap. A few phone calls and “Mommy” calls later I was up at 4:30pm.

The boys and I went outside to enjoy the ‘non rainy’ part of yesterday. They played with a few things and I played with my camera. Of all the random shots here are a few for you to enjoy:

This is how foggy it was for us. You couldn’t see building tops!

Our spot to stash the bikes to give us more room in the RT.

Quinton – AHHH BUG, BUG, BUG, BUG, (following it with his finger while it flys away)

Kyler – It’s ok Quinon, come with me (leading him away)

Kyler – Here, pause for Mommy to take her stupid photos and I can show you somewhere that doesn’t have bugs! Say Cheese!

Kyler – Look! Trees! Aren’t they pretty? And bug free!

Q and the Scooter, his way of riding it:

Arnold and I had decided through some phone calls that we would have Grilled Cheese Sandwiches and soup for supper. And because of the yucky-ness of today we figured inside was the best idea. While Kyler kept napping for a bit Q and I went outside to start working on supper. We had stopped earlier in the day at Shoppers Drug Mart and got our mail, as well as some replacement cheese. So off we went making our supper.

Here is Quinton helping out:

While we were waiting for Daddy the boys had a blast doing this:

Any guess to what they found?

If you said a FROG you are right! Introducing Mr. Froggie:

The boys figured no shoes in the trailer, which is fine but when it start to rain not so much.

Here’s my clan ready for supper:

We ate inside because of the rain starting. It worked out ok. We left the stove running and got our hot water ready. We had 1 kettle for dishes, 1 kettle for the boys hot water bottles, and 1 kettle for hot chocolate and tea.

After supper Q and I read some books in the trailer (Thanks again Auntie Kristina!) and Kyler and Daddy washed dishes and got things cleaned up. Once everyone was just about done we all got together outside and did some more work, collecting garbage and recycle. Then we went puddle splashing! All the way to the washroom, up to dump the garbage and recycle, then back down to take a longer walk. It was a lot of fun.

Once we got back I got the boys beds set back up and Arnold kept them busy outside. I took one at a time and got them some PJ’s clean feet, hands and faces, and some chips! They watched Toy Story 2 while Arnold finished the dishes and I worked on getting our bed moved. Because of all the rain our side of the trailer was leaking a lot! So we had to get it nice and dry again. We moved the top mattress off onto the table bed and we slept there last night. We actually kind of like it. Who knows what will happen once the sun dries up the trailer. Maybe we will still be sleeping down here.

To do the bed moving Arnold had to take 2 or 3 buckets of stuff to the van to give us some room (and to get rid of the wet stuff. So for now a lot of our things are in the van. I’m hoping to get most back in here this weekend, but things are just a little crazy right now.
Once the bed was made and moved over we got the boys onto our bed and we watched the rest of their movie. At the end of it we all went to sleep! Everyone was so tired!
