On Thursday, the weather was just gorgeous, so after picking Kat up at school, we headed to Signal Hill. Wish i could say that the adventure went great, and the girls enjoyed themselves, but even though the sky was cloudless, the wind was strong. So strong in fact that the observation deck of the tower was closed! Yikes. So the girls were freaking out about being blown away, Kat was freaking out any time that i got close to the wall. So the trip wasn't as planned, so we will try it again in the spring. One really cool thing about the trip there was apparently we timed it really well cause the boat that was carrying our car was coming into the harbour!! So we got to watch it from the ocean and watch it go into the harbour from Signal hill! Too cool!
On Friday, Kat got to take the bus to school and back home again! She was definitely excited! The morning bus was pretty full, but the bus bringing her home at lunch had all of 2 kids on it! So out of 2 kindergarten classes (one english and one french - probably a good 24 students) only 2 kids take the bus back home! WOW!
Friday morning, we got the wonderful call - our car was being delivered within the hour! phew. got our car back. Got all the carseats installed (very well too).
Friday afternoon after Kat got home and everyone had some lunch, we decided to take a safer adventure - no wind, not cold, no chances of mommy falling off a wall. We went to the public library and got everyone (except Dani) a library card, and took out 6 kids books. We are making it an every two week trip there to exchange their books. The library is very nice. a whole floor dedicated to the Children's library. Lots of selection, a cute little play table, a nice fish tank. So the girls had alot of fun there and are enjoying their new books.
Today.. Well getting back into a normal weekend routine since Steph is going back to work on Monday. Did a normal Zellers trip, though failed to get drapes for the kitchen - the morning sun is blinding through that window. Oh well, we will try again. We made a short, unproductive trip to the local surplus furniture warehouse, cause they had listed chairs available that would match our dining room set, but they were not available, but we did get a cute chair for the den.
And while we didn't see it at the store, how cute is this bed? And surprisingly only $400. But i could see arguments of who got to sleep in the bed with the slide. LOL But i'm sure we could figure out a rotation schedule for everyone to enjoy it.
Oh.. met another neighbour yesterday. They are an older couple, but we only have them as neighbours for another 5-6 weeks, and then they head down to Florida for 6 months. Guess they won't mind too much if they girls use their snow in their backyard this winter. LOL
