Week 9 Day 6 - Wednesday, July 15th - PJ day

We had another lazy day. Arnold talked to the people up at the gate before he left for work and told them we would be up there to renew for another week. He also was talking to the ‘nice one’ and she said she could get Mom and Dad in for the weekend. This made us VERY happy since Saturday is the Zoo day.

The boys and I went up on our walk with our PJ’s on for our pj morning! It was wonderful. When we got up there I found out that the night before Arnold had been up there visiting and the boys got to push the open and close button for the gate and they really wanted to do it again. The nice lady there snuck the kids in and helped them push the buttons. I double checked that it was ok for mom and dad and she said she would make it happen. Then we headed down the road back to the trailer taking our time. It was good. We had some lunch and then had a quick nap time. I made sure the boys remembered the rule about no naps means no soccer. They got so bad with it that Arnold had to call and talk to Kyler and tell him to go to sleep!

We left a bit early and went to the library and picked up some new books and movies and paid for our late fees from the weeks before. Then we headed out to the park for our picnic. The park was getting dirty. The garbage strike is really making the city look bad. The nice part is that the garbage bags near the playground at least are looking like they get emptied about once or twice a week so it wasn’t that bad when we showed up on Wednesday.

I was talking to Kristina and asking if Rob had called her. I told her about the email we had got the other day from him saying he was going to call people soon and I wanted to know if he called. Kristina said nope, not yet but she checked her machine and there was a message there! It was so exciting! She said she would call him back when she got some time. I was pumped!! One step closer to getting the house.

We went over for our game at 7:30pm. It was our first ‘late game’. It was rough too. These kids are not meant to stay up so late. Kyler did incredible but the other children and not late night kids! When we got in the car our phones started ringing. It turns out that Uncle Tim’s car had a flat. Arnold offered to turn around (we really weren’t that far) and help them fix it but they were going to call CAA. We should have gone back because we found it took about 1hour to get someone out there. We stopped and got some drinks just before Reid’s closed and then we headed home and off to bed.
