It's hard to believe it, but we have officially entered a new month. One would expect that July 1st would be nice and hot, but there we were at the Canada Day parade in Merrickville, wearing our coats!!
I appear to have created some expectation with the amount of posting I have been doing of late. Next thing you know, a week has slipped by us. All in all the week was pretty uneventful. Erin is her usual wonderful self (except for the odd tantrum she exhibits as she is asserting her independence more and more - man is she stubborn - I don't know who she gets that from.... must be Gord!!). I think we got all of our hot weather this past week. Erin's pool has been like bath water (not today though), with temperatures well into the 80's. Even I will go into that! Isn't it funny how wussy you get as an adult? I can remember jumping into the frigid waters of Eagle Lake where our cottage was, when we opened it each spring on Victoria Day weekend. Man, you do some stupid things when you are young!!!
Erin and I had a great Friday off once again. This week at the library, we read books about being in the bath. Erin is also signed up for the library's '150 books' challenge over the summer. We didn't do much else that day other than some groceries. Then she very uncharacteristically took a very long nap. I really didn't know what to do with myself!!
Saturday took Richinda and I to Stittsville where we took a wire wrapping jewelry making class. It was a hoot!! Check out my project (sorry for the blurry pic - it does look better live, honest!!)! Who would have thought working with wire and beads would be so much fun! Erin spent the morning with Dad running errands.
So here we are on Sunday. This morning as I mentioned earlier, we went into town for the Merrickville Canada Day parade. We had lunch with the neighbours at the chip stand in town, then came home to wait for Daddy to come back home from skeet shooting. Why were we waiting you ask? Well, we were off to pick up a trampoline for Miss Erin! This is her early birthday present (read: on sale now....) and she was so excited... she..... had to take a nap!!!! Gord is putting it together right now. She should be 'bouncing' off the walls when she wakes up (sorry, I couldn't resist the pun!!). We are going to try to stay awake for the fireworks in town tonight, but we'll have to play it by ear to see if Erin can stay awake until 9:30 - 10:00!
We are all off again tomorrow, with no plans other than to have the neighbours over for a play. I think the little gals down the road are almost as excited as Erin is about the trampoline!
There is little going on this week, other than our plans to get together with Patricia and Malcolm - who believe it or not is going to be 1 in a couple of weeks!! My how time flies!! Speaking of little ones, our congratulations goes out to Dhiren, Deepa and big sister Varya on the safe arrival of their new little boy. We don't know the name yet - they have to wait 13 days after the birth before naming their child. We have plans to meet this new little bundle of joy in a couple of weeks!
Hope everyone has a safe and happy Canada Day!!
