Many thanks to Anne for being such a good hostess. I really do have a fantastic mother in law. She is so helpful and takes good care of us -from making food that fits everyone's diet requirements (no dairy, no nuts, no wheat, etc. etc. etc.), watching kids so parents can sleep in, letting Jack lick the beaters after making rubber cake, always buying an extra $5 gift just in case, and having fun things for kids to do, she is simply the best.
I feel like my kids (well Jack really) now have more new toys than they know what to do with. It was kind of fun today to haul out another new one when Jack would tire of something. Man, parenting would be easy if you could afford a new toy every day. lol! I know this is not really true but it's hard not to think more stuff is the answer when your child is enamored with a new train.
We hit a nasty storm on the drive home yesterday. The #2 highway between Calgary and just north of Red Deer was a disaster. We counted 19 cars in the ditch between Airdrie and Red Deer. But we just took it steady and slow and made it home safe and sound shortly after 9pm, about 12 hours after we left.
Today was clean up and organize day. There's still some of that left to do but I feel like it's somewhat under control. Darrel's best friend, Grant, arrived today for a visit. West Ed Mall may be on tomorrow's agenda. I'm surprised as I thought I'd have to do a lot more to talk the guys into heading into the world's largest mall! I'm on the hunt for leather boots (Darrel's Christmas present to me), and I really want to ride th swings in the amusement park. I love those and when we were there in July I was 9 months pregnant and in no shape to ride anything. Darrel and Grant perked up at the sound of the amusement park and indoor go carts. Jack may enjoy the Dolphin show -hmmm, there really is something for everyone!
