It's raining. It must be the weekend....

When you average out all of the summer weekends, I'm sure the sunny ones come out ahead, but it always seems like it starts to rain at the end of the week when you are actually living it.

Despite the rain, we have had a great weekend thus far. Friday started with our usual trip to the library for story time. This week was all about summer. Mary Kate, the librarian, is wonderful. There just seems to be something in the blood of librarians that just make them suited for the job! Next, we came home and anxiously awaited our visitors. Patricia and Malcolm came to visit us for a few hours! It is hard to believe that the little fella is going to be one in a few days. He is getting big and is moving around so much now! Erin was great, sharing all of her toys, even her coveted lamby! Patricia, I feel for ya heading back to work!!! In the end, we all make the right decision for our families and ourselves.

Yesterday was the 1st annual Ice Cream Social in the village. It was a fundraiser for the day care and the community youth centre. I was supposed to be painting faces, but was promoted to running the fish pond!! The weather looked like it was going to cooperate, but late morning, it started to pour. Fortunately it didn't last long. There was a great crowd out and I really hope they raised a lot of money. Gord brought Erin and Erika and once Erin finally was awake enough (she fell asleep just after I left to help with setting up) she had a ball! She had a lovely heart and rainbow painted on either cheek! There was of course a lot of ice cream to be had!!! All in all a good day. The evening brought more rain, so it was pizza and some T.V. for the evening as Erin nodded off.

And that is where she is right now. We have Jo and Chris and the kids coming out this afternoon. Yes, it is raining right now, but I'm hoping it holds out for a couple of hours so the kids can run around and burn off some energy. It would have been nice if they could go in the pool. We will wait and see. You know how kids are. A cool pool never stopped them!!!

I'll get some pics of the kids this afternoon and post them in the next day or so. No, I didn't have my camera at the ice cream social because I was volunteering. Sorry.....
