Last I checked in it was Valentine's Day. We had a really good weekend! Aunt Elaine came to spend the weekend with us and we joined the rest of the family for dinner at the Goose. Hats off to the Goose for putting on a great spread!
I honestly can't remember anything about the week following Valentine's Day, so I will assume it was business as usual!!
The following Friday, Erin got to go over to Erika's for a sleepover! I guess they had a grand time - judging by how tired and cranky Erin was the next day!!!
February 22nd brought a fun day of activities with the Sparks and other area Guiding groups in Burritt's Rapids. Erin came home with new songs, a mason jar candle holder, and best of all.... a new badge! She positively loves those badges and they are kept in a safe place in her room, only to be brought out to show periodically at show and tell at school! That afternoon I took a quick nip into Kanata and had a cherished coffee with Jo! OMG we don't do that enough!!
The next day the illness bug caught me. I was off work and feeling downright awful for a couple of days.
Then March came and so did the chicken pox! Luckily Erin only got a mild case and was back to daycare this past Thursday, which was just in time as we were all driving each other crazy!! We are just hoping that Gord doesn't get them. Just what he needs, chicken pox on top of the heel!
Speaking of Gord and his heel... we were back in Kingston on February 26th to meet with his surgeon again, get more xrays, etc. His surgeon is happy with his progress and said hopefully if all continues to go well, he will give Gord clearance to start putting weight on the heel at the end of March or early April. It's been a long haul, but Gord is doing everything to maximize the mobility capability in his foot.
So fast forward to this weekend... Erin and her Sparks group, another Sparks group and Brownie groups headed in to the Museum of Science and Technology for a sleepover! What fun! They got to go up by bus on Saturday afternoon and were back home this morning. Erin was really excited but did get a bit teary just before they left. I think it was more related to the fact we were both there saying goodbye. We didn't get any phone calls through the night, so all seemed to go well! Boy, was she exhausted when she came off the bus this morning! She thinks they went to bed pretty late, and of course with the time change, they lost an hour of sleep! I imagine she will sleep well tonight though. She told us how much fun they had last night and it is likely to catch up with her! She told me this trip has made her even more excited for the two night camp in June! All I can say is that her Sparks leaders are saints!!!
The week ahead looks pretty standard for us. We head into March break at the end of the week, and Erin will be going in to have a sleepover with Aunt Elaine next Sunday. Whew, it's hard to keep up with this girl!! I can't even imagine having more than one!! I am going to take one day off to spend with Erin. I'm not sure what we'll do, but we'll find something fun to do I'm sure.
Here's hoping for a great March to everyone! Enjoy the pics!!
