PUSH!!!!!!!!

The children TRYING to push one of the hay bales on Marys land......not as easy as it looked hehehehehehe!

Country girls........

This afternoon we walked up onto our neighbours land to take some pictures by her haybales......I think this will become an annual tradition.....we did the same last year....

Monday half over.......

I had a Doctors appt this morning to get new prescriptions....I took a book hoping to have a quiet hour in the waiting room...showed up early even and wouldn't you know it...they showed me straight in...the Doc was in in seconds and I was out within 5 minutes....

Had to wait AGES in the Pharmacy because I needed so many different tablets etc but eventually we escaped and Susie and I had lunch in Tims.....

We stopped off in Canadian Tire for school supplies (Susan your organization has pushed me into being prepared early too!) and a few other things......then ran to Walmart hoping to get a parasol for the lake..no luck at either store......

Home again.....much earlier than planned.....Laurie has a friend here and the boys are all playing baseball outside.....Susie is playing Bowls with Sam...Abigail is playing with her calculator...she desperately wanted one so I grabbed a $3 solar powered one from Walmart and she is thrilled....she's kind of in love with math!

Chris wants to go over to his friends house so I will drop him there in about 30 minutes.....

Tomorrow the boys are off to WEM for the day on the bus......together!! they have free passes to use up by Wednesday......Susies friend arrives tomorrow and is sleeping over....tomorrow we will pop to the splashpark in the afternoon and then Wednesday we will go to the lake for a few hours....I'd like to go while the weather is cooler as it is supposed to heat up again by Thursday....

Christie said she might pop over tomorrow which will be fab as I haven't seen her in like FOREVER!!!!! And I have to call Samantha back and see if she wants to meet us at the lake too......

I feel quite stressed about plans etc and I'm nto sure why......but it feels like we are crazy busy when really I don't think we are.....

I got my form back from Family Services.....so I passed the check re. being allowed to work with children......I still havent been to the police station to get my criminal record check done though.......I should do that this week....I still have not heard from my boss...or my assistant.......I still have panic moments when I think I shouldn't do the job when things are this disorganized.....but I really do want to do the job.....and Samantha says I only ahve to give 3 days notice if I hate it.....so I could quit on Thursday and not have to go back again!

So we shall see......

I should go and take Chris to his friends house.....then I think I may go for a walk up by the hay bales with the kids.....take some pictures.....

I miss Val.....I know I don't normally see her that often - once a week maybe but I am used to get emails from her, reading her blog and getting comments on my blog from her.......I miss her whle she's away on vacation....

Oh and Lloyds best friend booked his tickets...he arrives for ten days or so on September 4th.....he's very excited.....I warned him that life in a house with 5 kids can be crazy ;)

Beautiful!
