full days

The days are so jam packed I feel like we have a week of experience in each day!

This morning Gabby and Zach with Zoey and Sara and Austin came to walk with us. The girls were on scooters and the babies in strollers. Jo was super upset to be considered a baby and strapped in the stroller and pretty much yelled the entire time. Tressel was so happy to have some friends over and pretty much wore himself out while we were all gathering shoes and scooters. On the walk he only made it about 3 houses down the street and then I had to bring him back.

I went and met with a friend who will be taking over wee sing for me. It was fun to hand over the reins. I still have some work to do to upload lesson plans and music to make more accessible to her so it's a little easier.

Dave's brother Mark and family Niccole and kids - Aislee, pete and Luke came over. We watched a little world cup. I couldn't believe it was 5-0 at half time and then the final score was Germany 7 - Brazil 1. The highest scoring game I've seen in ages .We only got to see the 1st half because then Calvin arrive home (early on Tues) and was VERY distressed to have unexpected visitors and to learn that our usual playdate with Palmer had been rescheduled to tomorrow. We had an hour of tearing, breaking, dumping, etc...

Everyone swam in the pool for a while and then we had dinner together. It is always nice to have company over. Around 7 Mark and Niccole left and my kids got back in the pool for about 30 minutes and then we came in for bed. I told them no warm bath after swimming which is kind of hard on them but helps get them right to bed.

Dave called to say hi a couple of times but we only talked briefly. He usually gets home between 6-8pm our time (which is 8-10pm his time -- we are going to have a year with no dad a lot of the time), but with that timing it's hard to sit and chit chat for long since it's dinner/bed time here. By the time kids are in bed here dave is also in bed there.

To keep myself busy in the evening I watch Downton Abbey. I love it. I am not much of a TV junkie but this show is like heroin to me! haha. It's nice to watch without Dave making fun of it.
