Busy Week, Busier Weekend !!

 I'm sitting here quietly with the news on. It's the calm before the storm !! GD has a cheer competition this morning so I will wake her soon, get into her gear and try and do her hair. fortunately we just have to drop her off at her other auntie's and not drive her all the way into the city for a 5 minute performance . Her cousin will do her hair and make up - yes makeup for a 5 year old !

We'e had two children since Thursday after school, as well as the swimming club, piano lessons, cheer practice etc. Today GD had asked if I would make Shepherd's pie again as it was delicious ! I'll have her help me make it when she returns[ although I do not know what time that will be ] Friday YS who is looking after the animals, came into town and brought ES home for a night of movies, video games and junk food ! They had a really good time. EGS changed into pyjamas and decided he would stay in them for the weekend ! While the house was empty I washed floors and bathrooms. Today I hope to tackle the dusting.

WE changed  our bed and put on fleece sheets. Our house is cool at night and as the temperatures are predicted to drop this week, it was time. The children thought the sheets were really cold on their beds so the other night I dug out hot water bottles. GD was thrilled that she had a heart shaped one !

EGS  is really into Harry Potter now as he went to the School of Wizardry and Magic put on by the Science Department at the U of A. They had a movie marathon yesterday afternoon and evening. Good ole auntie has all the movies ! GD spent time cutting and colouring with a few tv shows thrown in. Auntie came over with the dog and they went in the hot tub.

Their Beer Advent 'Calendar' was assembled yesterday ! This year it looks like people bought wooden crates, or something similar to keep the 24 different bottles of beer in. My sons  bought Christmas  socks to 'wrap' their beer. Looks quite festive.

It's hard to believe that November is nearly finished. Report cards go out this week and then Parent Teacher Interviews. Friday is a PD day which are always very long .

104 weeks ago today, ES saw his son for the first time in 32 days ! It was both heart warming and heart breaking. If we had known the final outcome, that in 3 short days the two would be together and the egg donor would take off  for Northern Ontario, it certainly would have been more joyous ! However everything turned out for the best although as we were going through the HELL, we couldn't have possible imagined that the outcome would be so good.

ED is off to the  football game. Hopefully the home team will win and be off to the Gray Cup. Regardless she'll be at the final in Winnipeg

Time to wake our little tumbler up..
