A couple great weekends!!

It has been a great couple weekends lately with the family. Chris and I got out for the evening to Ra Sushi downtown for Lisa's Bday. It was a great time and nice to get out. We also took the kids to the pumpkin patch of which was another hot October out there. The boys wedged themselves between many a pumpkin before deciding on the lumpy one Cameron liked. Cameron got bit by a turkey they had there as well. Ah the fun! Work is busy but days fly by and already conferences will be upon us. New report cards so teachers are stressing about having evidence to prove their grades....isn't that always what we have done? This past weekend I actually made it to the gym on Friday again-always feels better but doesn't happen as it should! Saturday and Sunday were fairly lazy and nice. We went to beach and dinner-beautiful night....today we went to Gordon's and had a nice dinner with family. Off to watch Entourage and off to bed. This Friday is Halloween so am sure will be crazy week!

October arrives

As my body felt like I was run over by a Mack Truck last Friday I came to realize that a 70% contract as a teacher is far from feeling like you are 70%. It would be easier to either be at home full time or work full time. Seeing as my paycheck runs directly back into daycare the minute I get it I am puzzled why I am back at work most days!
I have missed blogging about all things cute and funny lately the boys have done or said.....always thinking I will be on top of things and forget as weeks fly by to record them. Cameron asked me the other day, "mommy why does daddy always have to talk about work?" And I said because that is what he does all day and he said "that's not very exciting!" From the mouth of babes. At least he gets it now early on.
My grandfather passes away this past week and his funeral was last Friday. I was the only grandchild for first 10 yrs on my mom's side so it was hard to not be there for it. More so for my mom but know it would have been good to go. Getting a flight and dragging boys solo with me after cost and stress of it all I opted to forgo. I will try and get them out there in the next year. I cannot imagine what it is like to lose a parent. With a grandparent it is hard and especially if you are close but nothing like a parent I imagine. There must be a void you feel that can never be filled.
