The weekend is winding down on a beautiful Sunday evening. Today was a marvellous day, one of those days you wish you could have all year round.
I think I last checked in on Thursday after returning from Erin's daycare field trip to the Museum of Civilization. Friday started out on an interesting note. We had no water. Of course it was pouring rain outside, so we could have showered outside!! Gord got hold of a plumber who came out right away. It would appear that lightning struck our well and burned out a control box. It could have been worse!! I think Gord will be happy to get that bill opposed to the one we were expecting to get!! Because of the water problem, we missed story time at the library this week. We will catch up next week. Emily came over to babysit Erin for the afternoon. I got away for a bit of shopping in Ottawa, then I met up with some of my pals from my former workplace for a late lunch. I also had one of them sign as a guarantor for Erin's passport. All in all a great afternoon of shopping, food, and lots of laughs!
Erin was exhausted when I came home. We drove Emily home and the little darlin' fell asleep in the car. Yup, another early night to bed! She is really transitioning out of the nap time and any day that she is wild (well more than usual) she crashed pretty hard. Saturday brought a quiet day at home. Erin ended up going out to help daddy work on an enclosure for the well (so it doesn't get hit by lightning again) while I mowed the lawn. I haven't mowed the lawn for a while so I am always surpised when it takes me over 2 hours to mow. The day was fantastic in terms of weather. I don't think anyone was sorry to see the 2 days of miserable rainy weather leave us.
That brings us to today. We decided that since Erin didn't get a chance to go to Upper Canada Village with her daycare, that if she was good, we would take her. That's exactly what we did today! We started out bright and early and went out for breakfast then made our way there. Erin absolutely fell in love with a piglet who flopped down and fell asleep next to her while she was petting it. It put me in mind of Charlotte's Web. It warmed my heart to watch her beam and talk lovingly to this little pig. Then I looked at the tiny pig's mother. Yes, those cute little babies get big. This will not turn into the adventures of Erin, Minnie and Wilbur!!!!
