It's 6:00pm on Sunday afternoon and both Gord and Erin are into their 2nd hour of napping!! What better time to check in!
We have had a busy past couple of weeks. Erin had a great time at Jasper's 3rd birthday party last Sunday. Jasper's parents rented a small hall for the event and the parents sat along the perimeter of the room watching the kids run around like a wild pack of dogs! It was hilarious!! We got some bad weather the day before and last Sunday was pretty miserable as well. On our way home from the birthday party, I was driving and lost control of the car in a slushy and slippery snow drift on the road, and next thing we were in the ditch. Thank goodness no one was hurt!!!! Someone stopped and took Gord back home - of course it didn't happen far from home - to pick up the other car. By the time he got back, several more cars had stopped to check on us - the world is still full of good samaritans!! - and a truck offered to pull the car out. Erin and I got settled in the other car and while the truck pulled my car out, Erin had a front row seat. Her comment: "Mummy, that was pretty impressive"!! Out of the mouths of babes!! So I avoided a tow charge, and the only damage was to one of the snow tires.
I was pretty shaken by the whole thing and missed another birthday party. Our friend Ray had made arrangements for a surprise party for his wife Elaine. I was disappointed to not go, but they understood, and best of all Elaine had a great time!
Monday brought the work week back for us and Erin back to daycare. On Wednesday I left for a couple of days for meetings in Ajax - I know, how can I ever hold back the excitement of going to Ajax!!!! That meant Gord and Erin were on their own. Erin managed to talk her father in to taking her out for dinner on Wednesday. I got home late Thursday, but have to admit I was happy that Erin was still awake!! I really miss her when I am away!
Friday was perhaps the most wonderful weather day we have had this year! I had countless people drop by my office and ask if as HR I had the power to send everyone home early!! I wish!!! Erin and I played outside for a while when I picked her up. It was nice to see the snow completely gone! Of course that didn't last as we were hit with a big snowstorm Saturday evening!! It's all gone again now though and it's supposed to be 18 degrees on Tuesday. Yeah for Spring!!!
Today was a fun day. Erin was invited to another birthday party, this time for a little girl named Jamie celebrating her 3rd birthday. What wonderful parents! I have met them in passing a couple of times. They were disappointed Erin was the only friend from daycare that could make it. It was an all-girls affair, that consisted of many princess things!! We then went delivering party invitations for Erin's Easter Egg Hunting Party, which is next Saturday afternoon. I think I have everything in order for it. The Easter Bunny himself, is helping me out with the hunt!!! In our delivering, we had a good visit with Richinda and Erika. I just think they are all great! We are lucky to have a super bunch of neighbours. Hopefully they can all come by next Saturday for the big party!!
Anyway, I'm going to run. Enjoy the pics and I'll check in again soon!
