Suprisingly it wasn't too bad of a weekend, considering Restita was out of town. The girls had gymnastics on Saturday, 10:45 - 12:00 and then we went to a BBQ at the Smiths.
We hung out there for most of the day, got home around 4. It was so hot, the girls and I walked to DQ for a ice-cream supper. When we got back, we waited for Leah & Gerry as they were coming to Mari's Irish Dance performance.
We got there about 10 minutes early, which would have been great if we had gotten the irish dance dress....argghhhh, so I race back and got the dress and ended up being about 5 minutes late (I made pretty good time)....only to find out that she wasn't dancing for another hour !!! double arghhh !! We got home a bit late that night, the girls probably didn't get to sleep until about 9:30 - 10, but they still woke up before 7am !!
On Sunday, we went to church (we were awake in time, so why not). After church we went to the Ballingers (George, Mari-lou, Simon and Luke) for another BBQ. Mari and I broke away from the BBQ to go to Irish Dance practice from 1:30 - 2:30. George was kind enough to watch Alisha while we did this. Shortly after coming back from practice, Restita came back (she went out of town with Marilou) and the girls were VERY excited to see Mommy.
After that, we went to AihLinh and Steves for another BBQ...that is right, 3 BBQ's in one weekend !!!
Well, back to the grind this week...I have Monday off, but working T/W/Th & Fr.

ok ok...the time between posts are getting longer
OK OK...I understand that you want more updates...I just can't think of anything to write about. I think my biggest delay is that I want to post photos with my posts, and the photos aren't always readily available (ie, they are still on the camera, or on the PC).
Last week, we finally got our suite rented...still have a coat of paint to go. It is a younger couple (aren't they all), with a 4 year old. Alisha and her 'hit it off' by draw with chalk all over the sidewalk to the suite. Hope this works out and if we trust them (and they trust us), we might be able to share some babysitting. We are cautious of this as we still want to maintain a business relationship first, and possible a personal relationship second. we will see. They seem like nice people, they guy is pretty quiet and the Mom seems nice...is bubbly a word?
Anywayz, as you know, this past weekend was Queen Victoria day and Victoria always has a parade (that we seem to always attend). I won't bore you with the 100 photos that Mari took and I've posted some of my favourites at http://picasaweb.google.com/junkforcarl/VictoriaDayParade
.
There is also some photos from a recent "Crazy Hat" day held at school.
