Thursday/Friday

Thursday morning we woke up and did some more tidying around the house in preparation for our "trip" to Camrose. A big pet peeve of mine is leaving a messy house, so I normally have my house pretty spotless before I head anywhere. With that being said Thursday morning was spent packing overnight bags, animal supplies, and general clean up. I dropped Natasha off at preschool and then headed to RBC to do some banking. After RBC we headed home to finish packing bags, gather up the dogs, and pack up some boxes to store in my parents garage. We got back in the Envoy, filled up with gas, closed my safety deposit box at a different bank, and then stopped at Starbucks for a frappacino before picking up Natasha. We picked up Natasha and headed out to Camrose. We got to Camrose at about 4:15. I dropped off the dogs and kids and then headed to Coldwell Banker to drop off our last deposit cheque and finalize the deal on the acreage. When I got back to my parents everyone was home and we cooked some burgers on the bbq. The girls stayed up later than normal but went to bed rather "well".

Friday morning the girls slept in quite late which is always welcome when they go to bed later. Friday was another uneventful day. My dad headed into the city to pick up a piece for the envoy and he also picked up his new "birthday" bbq. The part for the envoy proved useless as it did nothing for the problem I have. It will be returned just have to find a day to meet up with my Uncle Mechanic! We walked to Staples to pick Daylan up an MP3 player. This is his 3rd one however the new one holds 2000 plus songs, plays videos and radio. We stopped at Lammles and Natasha tried on some cowgirl boots.....so CUTE. Adam is determined the girls get cowboy boots which is fine by me but seems strange coming from him. Anyway we did not make any purchases as I thought it would be nice for Adam to be with us as it is his idea. We did some playing outside and watering of plants. When Daylan got home from school, and my dad returned from the city, mom and I darted off to a local flooring company to get some ideas for the new house. I did not decide on anything but did book us in for the floors the first week of August. We need to have our floors picked out the beginning of July which should be fine. I got extra books to browse which I will send up to Adam in a care package. It is exciting but I can't believe the amount of selection!!! Anyway we got home and started to help Dad set up his bbq but his long time buddy showed up and took over. We started a fire and roasted smokies....mmmm! The girls went to bed early and mom and I watched breaking news on Paris Hilton :-/ I fiddled with moms computer for a bit but got tired and called it quits just after midnight.
