Well, I think I have been a little over zealous lately in planning my weekends, especially today. I actually triple booked myself and kids and semi sort of pulled it off.
We started with a nice and bright morning of showers and cereal. Then we packed Steve off to the Brier and the kids and I started our day. Off to Walmart at 9 in the morning....wasn't too bad, not busy at all! We had to get some last minute clothes for Miss Paige's b'day party. We were rolling out right on time to head to Skating lessons, it is not often we are on time lately so this was a great start.
I never realized how tough it is to get both kids ready for lessons by yourself. I actually worked up a sweat lol. Thankfully my parents came to take them on the ice as I am not a good example to my kids when it comes to skating, I hate it! But with the boys being boys, Hockey will definately be a part of thier lives so they have to skate! Cooper has what we call Spagetti Legs and makes whoever is with him do all the work, until it comes to the time when he gets to slide across the ice. His arms are up and ready to go in a heartbeat! Stevie, always my causious child, is quite hesitant when it comes to skating. He is getting better but needs a big confidence boost! My dad thinks I dont tie his skates correctly or tight enough and that is why he does not do so well, so I am now banned from doing that lol.
After Skating my mom and I took a quick trip to Scrapbookers Paridise for stuff for my NY book. My dad got to hang out with the kids in the Van watching Wall E. I love the DVD in the car and I love even more when my dad comes to watch the kids so I dont have take them into the store lol. As we left the store we were actually early for our next outing this must be a record!
My parents took Cooper as he has to nap and would not have made it thru the day....at least not in a calm fashion if he didnt. Stevie and I headed out for lunch with some of my old friends from High School (this was my first of my triple book as I forgot about paiges bithday and they overlapped). It was wonderful, he was very well behaved and I got to catch up with my friends. But at the end of it we had 10 mins to get to our house pick up Steve and his Mom and get to Paiges party....well we were on time for half of our day...that is better then usual!
Of to our house to pick up Steve and Granny then off to the princess' party (which is happening at the same time I had booked my friends to come over and scrapbook, thus the triple book). I truely can not believe she is 6! The party was good, just the family, next weekend is the kids party. She got spoiled as usual and some of Lynns family was there to celebrate too. It was nice to see them, it has been a real long time. I had to run Steve and Granny to the train to head back to the Brier and head back to round up the kids so we can go home to scrapbook (3 hours later then planned lol)
So home we came, Michelle came over and I got 5 pages done...not bad for a few hours of scrapbooking! Now I am exhausted. Off to bed to start it all over again, we have a zoo trip at 10:00....again Why to I do it to myself....because I do it for my kids, they deserve it and the smiles when they skate, spend time with their grandparents however small it may be, get to have a one on one date with Mom, get to celebrate with their cousin and best friend and get to help mom scrapbook is enough to make we want to run again all day tomorrow!
