It's pushing 11:00pm and I am wide awake. Actually I am exhausted after a very busy weekend, but it's one of those nights I can't seem to settle in to sleep. So here I am, figuring I should do something constructive with my inability to sleep, and post to the blog!!
This was a beautiful weekend! It's about time we had an entire weekend of warmth and sun! It was a weekend filled with lots of Mummy and Erin adventures, while Dad got to do a bunch of yardwork! Erin and I started Saturday with breakfast and a couple of episodes of Dora the Explorer. Erin is not much for TV, but she will stop everything to watch Dora!! She and then whisked ourselves off to Smiths Falls for some errands (and more importantly, a coffee for me from Tim's!!) That afternoon we headed into Athens for Dee's parent's anniversary party. We had a great time!! I am now a complete fan of 'Newfie horseshoes', after making the semi-finals with Dee's brother. Of course we choked in the end, but what a hoot! I think Dee's mum and dad (Sharon and Doug) had a good time. This was a celebration of their 40th anniversary - quite a feat! We had a great visit with Liz and Mooner, both of whom we haven't seen for a dog's age!

Happy Anniversary Doug & Sharon!!
We actually got home later than we expected to, but Erin was having so much fun with one of the little girls there, that it was hard to tear her away! She has also fallen in love with trampolines, and has been hounding me to get one for the past 24 hours straight!!!! Sigh..... Of course I forgot my camera, so I don't have pics, but you can imagine the pure elation on the face of an almost 4-year old discovering the weightlessness of the trampoline adventure!!
All of that air on Saturday brought a very sound sleep for one tired little girl (and her folks!). Sunday came with another breakfast over Dora, followed by the ritual of Sunday groceries. In the afternoon we went to Kemptville to meet up with our neighbour Richinda and her two girls Emma and Erika for a couple of hours at the little midway that was set up. Erin had fun after some coaxing - she seems to do better at stuff when it starts in the morning. She was just dozing off when we arrived, so was not to keen on chatting it up with the carnies!! She got into the swing of it when I promised to get her some cotton candy. Man that stuff is sweeter than I remember!! She crashed early again tonight, and is looking forward to seeing her friends at daycare tomorrow. I think she needs to go back to daycare as much as I need to go back to work to get a break!!! Ha Ha!!
Anyway, enjoy the pics of my big helper! She had the task of cutting up fruit and veggies today for dinner / dessert (just the soft stuff that she could cut with her plastic cutlery!!) God willing she will have better luck using knives than I have had!!! (Yup, lots of stiches and scars on my hands)
I better try to get to sleep. Until next time.....
