Week 6 Day 5 - Tuesday, June 23rd, ST and special treats!

We had a quick morning hanging out and playing and then we headed off to Speech Therapy. All of us went (in other words Kyler, Quinton and I) this time. I had our babysitter, Rachel, meet us there. She finished up school the week before I think and was more than willing to make some extra cash. It worked out well for us.

It was another hot hot day so Rachel and Kyler were allowed to hang out in the Centre we go to for the Speech therapy. I did double check that if I left the babysitter here with Kyler was it ok. She said sure no problem so they played with some new toys and such the whole hour. They loved it!
I’ll post more about Q’s ST later.
After we were done we drove Rachel home, the roundabout way since I had to get some cash. When we dropped her off we headed home to hang out. The boys got a special treat by going to get the mail and then going to the pizza store! The pizza shop up the road was having a sale on their ready to go ones so we picked up one med cheese, and one med pepperoni pizza. The boys also got their special drinks as well. I tell yah, if you want to try something different as far as drinks go make sure you like it! K has such a great memory he got me a root beer at the pizza shop and I don’t normally drink them, just when we get pizza from there.

We got home and had lunch and hung out for a bit. It was nice to relax. We even shared the pizza with the electrician coming around checking all the boxes for water. Nap time happen shortly after that and we didn’t do much until Daddy got home. Here’s what the boys had to say about nap time:





And K just wanted his photo taken:




Arnold made supper and had a fire with the kids while I went out to Bible Study and chilled there with some girlfriends for a while.

I got home around 10 or so and Kyler was out. Quinton on the other hand was wide awake! He got some hugs and kisses from me and then I put him back to bed. He freaked. Arnold and I couldn’t figure out what was bothering him and then Arnold guessed it. I guess earlier that night the boys were walking back from the washrooms and Q saw the Raccoons and got scared. Normally when we get close (and they are out) one of us will take his hand so he is ok but for some reason he freaked out. We had left their ‘back’ window open so Kyler could check for monsters (last night) and tonight it was scaring Q. Arnold closed the window and then Q knocked right out.
 

Week 6 Day 1 - Friday, June 18th - Daddy's Zoo Day!

This morning when Arnold woke up he was a bit sore, and once he stretched and moved he was really sore. Not sore enough to stay home but I told him I wasn’t ready to let him out of my sight just yet.

Instead we spent the day as a family. Since Arnold’s knee hurt when he left it straight he decided to keep moving. I figured this was the perfect time to get in a family outing to the zoo! We packed up our zoo stuff and headed out, without checking the camera battery! We got there and took our normal ‘pre going in’ photos so if the kids get lost I have photos of just what they looked like that day, on my cell and DSLR. Then we went inside!

With Daddy being there we did all of our ‘only with Daddy’ stuff. So we got tickets to see the stingray and the sharks, then we also got tickets to the camel rides! The boys were so excited to have their Daddy at the zoo. Normally it’s only Mommy!













Forewarning CRAP LOADS OF PHOTOS AHEAD!
























































































































































































































































We had lunch and did some more walking around in the fishy section (great barrier Reef) and then went to see the lions and some kangaroos. Arnold then took the boys to the section to see frogs and I went and got a Beaver Tail! It was soo good! I haven’t had one in I think a year or more! WOW I loved it, as did the kids!

We then took our normal train ride around (and for those who didn’t know the Elephants lost one this past week. Well we discovered that she was buried in their local graveyard).




Then it was home time! Arnold took a LONG nap and I got some cleaning done around the place, not a lot but some.

For supper that night we started to get everything ready to go to Auntie Kristinas house. We piled in the laundry and anything we had for supper. WE got there and Arnold crashed on the couch while I had Uncle Tim do some things in the kitchen to help me clean up so I could work on supper. We had supper inside since it was MUCH cooler in there than outside! The kids played around. In fact here are a few shots:













After supper and some serious play time we packed the boys up. Arnold took them home and Kristina and I met up with another friend Lindsay, for a well deserved break for me. We took Lindsay out for dessert for her birthday. It was a lot of fun! Then off to Walmart to do some grocery shopping then they dropped me off at home. It was good fun!

When I got home I was trying to be quiet but no need! Arnold was still up. His nap gave him a bit more energy! After watching a few episodes on the computer we went to bed.
