Our New Travel Trailer

We finally were able to find a new Fifth wheel like we wanted. It has room for all of us and it hauls great. We went camping for the Canada Day weekend and had a good time with it, no problems.

We are back to blogging

I know I know, it has been awhile. To long......... I said before I was going to try to blog more and everyday,but it has been busy busy here as usual.
Mom is out of the hospital and we are having our hands full trying to keep her with someone at all times as she really still needs it.
We had our first family camping vacation the long weekend. It was great. (I will post pics later) and oh ya we also got our new (well new to us) fifth wheel.
The weather has been great here. Nice and warm. The weeones have been in the pool everyday,every chance they get from morning to dark.
The gardens are doing great, everything is coming along up so well.
My flowers are finally looking good.
Today is my Birthday..... Yep another whole year older.
Well that is all for now. But I promise I will be back.....

Jayne's Award

On Friday Morning it was the Awards assembly at the school for the girls. I was invited and my Mother decided she was going to try to get out of the hospital on a pass for a few hours. I picked her up loaded up her wheel chair into my Beetle. (yep I got it to fit) and headed to the school.
Jayne received a beautiful award. "Overall Growth Award" she received a metal with her award and date and name on it.

Way to go Jayne we are so proud of you.

All the weeones passed their year and did very well. Justin will go into grade 8. Jayne into grade 5 and Jill into grade 3.
After taking my Mom back to the hospital and getting her settled back in, I took the weeones out for lunch in the city. We went for the Pasta Buffet and it was delish.......
We are all very proud of them.

A Lovely Thank You

Thursday Afternoon Jill and Jayne came home with a letter addressed to me.
Inside was a very special letter.

This was so nice I cried.
I feel very blessed to have my girls go to a small School that really is like a big family.

School's Out For Summer

Yes it has finally arrived "Summer Vacation"

The Children are both Happy and Sad for this time of the year.
It has been a very busy past week here at our home.
Tuesday Jayne's class was invited to the Teacher's Aid's house that was close to the school for a BarBQue. But the weather was bot in favor and it was damp and showers. So they made the best of things and went inside and boiled their hotdogs.
I was asked to come along as a invited guest. I was very happy and enjoyed myself, as this small class is a great class to work with.

Mr.Brooks the TA's Husband kept the children amused while Lunch was being cooked, with his Helicoptor.

After having their lunch and having cookies for desert,
 they were in for some real treats.

Each Child was asked to bring in 4 treats to share. They all did very well. (Look at all that junk)

They got to pick numbers and then chose a treat.

What a great day..... What a great bunch of children....... They even got to end there day at the park as the sun did come out for a little while.
GREAT JOB GRADE 4!

Wednesday I went in and finished up our last class for the scrapbooks. I did not not get any pictures as I was busy helping the children finish up, they all did a great job and I will email the teacher to get her to send over a few pictures that she took,and I will post those as soon as I get them.

Session 2 complete for Scrapbook album

Yesterday's class went great the children were all able to finish up their pages on there paper bag albums.

Tomorrow we will finish our last day decorating them with buttons,flowers, and pullouts. I have not got to take any pictures as of yet as I have been so busy working with them. But I will tomorrow as the children are now settled and pretty much are working on there own designs.
Last evening I received a special call from Jayne's Teacher. She was inviting me to there BarBQue at the park near the school today at lunch time. I thought it was a very nice offer and even though it is raining out a bit I am excited to go.
On a sadder note. My Mom is having another bad day. More bad news. She was hoping to get out this week and be able to come with me on Friday to the awards at the school. She called this morning and has said that the infection is back in her foot and will need to start treatment again for 6 weeks. She is also moving floors in the hospital to the second (long term section)
I am trying to come up with a idea that would bring up her spirits.
HB is off tomorrow for 2 days. We have so much to still do outdoors. The rain is just putting a damper on things.
We are still looking for a travel trailer we have found a couple but are still undecided and the next couple of days will have to make a move as we are suppose to go camping on the Canada Day long weekend. (If Mom is alright)
On a brighter note the Humming birds are crazy here this year. They go from the apple tree blossoms to the large feeders in the front windows, to the mini ones in my planters. then back again. We all need to be so careful as every time we seem to walk out the doors, they zoom by. I have been hit twice already.
Well I am off to go do a bit more laundry before heading out. Take care and have a Great Day Everyone!!!!

Monday Musings

We had a quite weekend. HB had to work overtime all weekend,and it rained very hard all weekend as well. The weeones and I cleaned the upstairs and watched a few movies. We ate junk and enjoyed every minute of it. We baked a cake for HB and had homemade chicken tenders with homemade fries for supper last night. The weeones bought him a new fishing vest as well.
Today it is cool and cloudy. the high for today is only 17. not turning out to be a good summer so far.

I did my usual Monday cleaning this morning,and put my stickers on my plates for my Beetle. I wil drive it for the summer now. I miss my little car and all the great miles I get to put on it.

Today I am going back to the school to teach the second part of our mini Paper bag album. 

Can't wait to see what the children all come out with as their first class went well, they really have a great eye for color.
