Well another weekend has come and gone! I think this was one of the most like “home” weekend we have had! On Friday night we went for dinner with some people from Hubby’s work the girls had a sleepover at a friends house on the Terrace. We went to a great Indian restaurant, I was so yummo! After dinner we went for some drinks a pub…and we were still home by 1030! Hubby then spent all day Saturday under the house. Poor man! I think he has ONE day left which is TODAY Woo Hoo THEN he will just have to do some “touch ups” where the plumber needs to do his thing to get us a new Bathroom woo hoo; there is something to be said about actually having the toilet IN the bathroom and NOT on the other side of the house!!
It will be soooo nice to have our hubby and Daddy back on the weekends. Which might be just in time for him to start working for the weekends 😦 BUT we will see how it goes! ANYWAY Little T had a Bday party to goto on Saturday and Big E and I were going to head into town and go to a cat show…ya I was just as shocked to learn there is CAT SHOW….anyway we WERE going to do that while Miss T was at her party. I dropped T off headed home to get E ; when the party that I just left Miss T at pulled into the drive behind me. Hmmm what did she forget… NOTHING It turns out they miss counted the kids that were coming and needed an extra car! SO it was off to Opanke for the day where the kids played in Bumpits; Which is like a HUGE hamster ball they roll around run in them and bump into each other and have a general AWESOME time; we went to a local cafe from some fish and chips; Sketchiest place I have EVER been too! The kids were convinced it was haunted, and well I was pretty much in agreement with them! Then off to the beach where the kids played on a playground overlooking the ocean….breath taking! The parents of the birthday girl felt so bad about having to ask me BUT I told them it was truly my pleasure I got to have an adventure…a few of them AND It got us onto the other side of the mountain and we saw some new part of this BEAUTIFUL country! I was a tonne of fun! I loved it and the girls had an awesome time! On the way home, the music was cranked and I had 6:little girls all singing along to the tunes! We had a blast.
When we got back home the parents asked if the girls could have a sleep over…ALL of them! So they had 10 girls all sleeping over. BRAVE parents! Mind you if we had room at our house I would be game for it, but we don’t…so we will have to stick to just one person sleepovers at a time! The girls had an amazing weekend!! They are really starting to settle in here; I love it; THEY love it; it is great and starting to feel more like home every day!
I also made a new friend with the Parents of the birthday girl, we had some great laughs! They are also not from here so this makes it that much easier for us to “bond” I think. They know what it is like not having family and being in a new place with out friends! I am LOVEING life.
OK SO RENO UPDATES…… We have our new water system in place and “sticky tap” is no longer a pain!!! I turn on the water and it COMES OUT!!! It’s a miracle! I have torn out the basin in the bathroom, and tried to do rip up the tub Hubby will do that when he gets home from work!
Now I don’t know if I told all but we got a Kitty!!! Yup a tabby cat she is adorable, Miss E “found” her on the Terrace and deemed her as a stray and brought her home. As it turned out she was NOT a stray BUT the last kitten of a batch of kittens someone was trying to get rid of. SO we have a new addition her name is Maple!!!! I was in the “dog” house for a few days as we both agreed before we left home that we will NOT get a CAT…well I fell in love with here BEFORE I even told Hubby about her….SO there were a few days of tears lots of begging and well now she is ours. I do feel bad as I don’t normally go against what we agree with BUT this lovely little kitty was worth the fight! I will post a pic soon!
Well friends it is late I am pooped have a big day ahead of me tomorrow!
Blog soon!
