it's all fun and games

resurgo!

saturday chris went to an auction for plumbing supplies. so i wanted to fill the day with kid fun. i took them to the museum. ive never been there before. i told nate he could bring a friend, he chose dylan. and off we went to the resurgo place. it was BUSY! i LOVED the place. i want to get a family pass. it was awesome. we were there for 3.5 HOURS and i ran in to so man people. ive noticed that almost every time i go out i run into ppl i know. i feel settled in this place

pt 3

they had a culture area. this was so neat. you create your own wings to look like a peacock

fire works by peddling a bike. ellie ran into her friend sadie

more dress up. there was a garden area, a igloo, construction. we didnt get to all of it. i ended up parking myself on a bench and sat and talked to ppl i ran in to. after 3 hrs the kids were hungry so we went home from lunch

sat night i found this girl in my bed! ellie put herself in my bed. a
ha

monday was the first family day in n.b. everything was closed but federal gov't! chris had to work. nate ended up spending the day with dylan's family at their camp. i took the girls to a mini carnival, which i invited my friend to come and keep me company. ha

face painting!

joey!

colorful balloons!

snack was ice cream, juice, donuts and pop corn. the snack of champions. haha

i LOVE this idea. joey spent most of her time here

and joined the big kids on the inflatables. there was about 6 in total.

there was also crafts, games and a scavenger hunt. the best part? FREE! and i was able to chat and waste the afternoon away with an adult to talk to...ha! 0 comments

school

so this week, we are at 1. ONE. day spent doing school. haha. for some reason public school was cancelled today. its +14 right now. not sure why....anyways. i was doing school with ellie and looked over at joey. she was busy making art. happily creating away

ellie decided to read out loud her bible. so cute!

i took the kids to mcdees in the afternoon. to burn off that energy!

and ice cream was enjoyed. ha

and joey made a mess

joey! what are you doing?!?!? making a picture!

it was so nice out this morning. so we went and visited daddy. the kids enjoyed the park. and i chatted with chris. i wont see him much today. he's gone until 6:30 and im outta here at 6:45! so i thought a visit would be nice

poor chris. no buddy but dont worry nate came along!

i think this buddy bench idea is the funniest thing. i dont get it...

i got out of bed around a respectful 8:45 and found this going on. nate at his desk working away. he was bored so he did his school work. hahaha THEN i told him public school was closed and he was free to go play with his friends...

yea, im sitting here typing my blog. the girls are in the back yard. its now +15. the door is open. i dont get why school was cancelled.....ha

tues night we took the older kids to the movie, we saw peter rabbit. oh my word, cry and i laughed SO much. the movie was EXCELLENT. there was nothing, nothing that we could think of that was bad, off color, scary etc...and the adults enjoyed it too. joey didnt come because she put herself to bed at 5:30. yes, 5:30! she was so tired! it was a fun night with the big kids!

ellie took her blanket and baby
