Monday

Monday we knew we were getting some company. First my dad was coming early afternoon to take a load of stuff back to Camrose, and then my mom and grandma were coming to spend the night. As I had things to do we got up and started our day rather quickly (compared to most days). Natasha decided she wanted to get some pictures taken (weird as she normally does not) so I said ok. First stop was Staples as I needed some paper, toner and legal sized envelopes for the preschool. Next we stopped at Future Shop to picked a disc holder for Adam. After Future Shop we headed to WEM where I had the girls pictures taken in the Antique Boutique (just by the water park). Everything went quite well for the first five minutes and then Ashley quickly decided she was done. We mananged to get one decent shot, which we printed and framed for a Fathers Day gift. After the pictures we went to the Childrens' Place and bought Ashley some new jeans. Then we headed to Mr. Entertainment and I bought myself a guitar book for beginners. After that stopped we made our way back to the car. Once we got home, not two minutes later my dad pulled up. We loaded the truck with my deep freeze, Adams' night stand/dresser, and the boxed trampoline. He says he will come back on the weekend and take one more load. The house is starting to empty and it looks weird. My dad left and I put Ashley down for a nap. I did some tidying up as my mom and grandma were planning on spending the night. They called and we were going to meet up at Southgate in the food court. Ashley woked up, I changed her clothes/diaper and we were off again. We met them at the food court, enjoyed some New York Fries and just did some visiting. I went and mailed a package to Adam and somethings for the preschool. After that we headed to McBain camera where Grandma bought herself a digital camera. She got the simpliest one to operate but I think once she gets used to it...she will love it. I took the girls to the sciene store and bought them a couple of animals.

I can't believe how the time flies. We went outside and it was nearly 4:30. Anyway my uncle has a new toy, his Harley Davidson. Well in the mall Natasha did not want a ride but she quickly changed her mind. Once outside Uncle D gave a couple of rides before heading for home.







We headed home, threw some supper in the oven and then we were off to soccer. Because the girls had the late snack at the mall we were going to have supper after soccer.




After soccer we headed home and had some supper. The girls stayed up later than usual but were well behaved so I didn't mind. The girls slept in their rooms, mom and grandma took my bed and I slept on the couch downstairs.

Natasha and her buddy, Great Grandma Grace!


Everyone headed to bed at around 10:30 but I made myself a cold/flu drink and went downstairs to play guitar for a bit. I crashed out around 12:00 and slept like a log until morning.
