A week of milestones is almost over....

It is Thursday night. Erin is splashing around in the bathtub and I have just finished some cleaning up. I cannot believe how many times I have picked up the same things! It must be in the thousands!!!

So our week of milestones is nearly over and all of us have survived nicely! Erin turned 4 and started school. She now has 2 days of school in the book and is extremely pleased with being a 'big kid'. She flat out refuses to allow anyone to carry her backpack anymore. When I picked her up at daycare this afternoon, she told me - with attitude I might add (haha!!) - "Mummy, I am perfectly able to carry my own backpack. After all, I'm 4 already and that makes me a big kid'. I thought her teacher was going to choke on her water she laughed so hard. Gord and I are in trouble, aren't we......

Gord, his brother Andrew and brother-in-law Alex should have arrived in Thunder Bay by now. Gord was supposed to wake up at 1:00am this morning in order to get over to Alexs' where they were all leaving together at 2:00am this morning. I am always amazed at a man's ability to wake up for something like this when they don't wake up for the smoke detector! Anyway, Gord is pretty lucky I woke up to use the washroom this morning at 2:30am so that I could wake him up!!! Wow, did he move fast as he mumbled that Alex was going to have his head!!! Andrew called at 2:45am looking for him! I'll have to ask how that went when he calls tonight!!!!

So it's just Erin and I for the next week and a half. I have to go to work tomorrow, so Erin will be joining her pals at daycare for the day, which suits her just fine. I have promised her a morning shopping on Saturday. She was very lucky to have received some money from Aunt Patricia, and a couple of gift cards from Aunt Eleanor and family for Build-A-Bear and Mrs. Tiggywinkle's so I'm sure she will have fun picking out wonderful things!! Sunday we are going to join Richinda, Emma, and Erika at the Apple Festival at Kilmarnock Orchard. I love things like that especially with Erin who always has a great time at the local festivals and socials.

Well, I guess that's it for now. I'll bring the camera on Sunday. I better fetch my little prune out of the tub and get her ready for bed.
