it feels like i have been neglecting to write these days.. my outlook on life has been a bit in the crapper. some days all i can do is get through you know... i know that there is a time and a season for all things and that these days are going to be gone so quick but when you are right in the middle of it that perspective sometimes gets lost... last week was a hard one with the boys being sick again and just everything piling up. the weekend was much brighter as we had a last minute visit from friends from ontario. morgan is daves best friend and they grew up together. we just were in ontario to celebrate morgan & martha's wedding. at three weeks married they came here to visit us and we had a great time. it was excellent to catch up. it was also nice to watch them get time to just relax as they have obviously been so busy for the last few months. they also had just returned from a two week honeymoon in italy.. yea poor them. it was nice to see them interact with the boys who only took about half a day to warm up to new people in the house. we went to a bbq on friday night that our small group was having. on saturday the boys naps were all over the place so it seemed we got nothing done.. we did end up getting to IGA for there closing 50% off sale... we stocked up on lots of goodies.. i felt a twinge of sadness at the thought of them closing there doors for good basically because we as a small town have been taken over by the BIG stores.. and for those of you who don't know I am an IGA alumn.. spent some time as a cashier.after we went out walking and they unloaded a bunch of cash at my fave store in winkler My Scrap Shoppe from there we walked to 1027 and had gelato which of course was good but not quite Italy...After putting the boys to bed I made a killer Pad Thai and we later enjoyed a little bonfire (after the rain of course). Sunday we spent the morning being lazy and later went to Tasti's for lunch and walked the Morden Park. After a long afternoon nap we got a babysitter and the four of us went out to Boston Pizza. It was so great to have them around.. Monday morning I got up at 4:30am and took them to the airport getting back in time to say goodbye to Dave as he left for work...Still recovering.
The boys have been a bit off these days.. of course the normal cold and cough that they have now had since January.. Noah had croup again last week and the runny noses are endless.. On top of that I am sure they are working on some teeth.. most of the time its manageable but I have been surprised at the level of temper tantrums they can have.. yikes. It's painful...
That was the weekend and already its Tuesday evening which brings me hope.. We had our last stay & play this morning which was amazing.. everyone brought food and we shared breakfast. I will miss that... you begin to foster relationships and its nice to have somewhere to go each tuesday morning.. we will look forward to going again next fall.
i will leave you with some pics.. more to come of our weekend when i get them loaded..

We went to the 50% off sale as soon as it opened. I made Chris RUN to the diapers. We got 8 packs of Pampers. Somehow we got 3 or 4 packs of size 5s. I'm not sure how old she'll be or if we'll even need that size, but hey for 50% off, why not? We wound up spending $300.
Whoops. That was from Amanda.
Hey... the boys are getting so big. Wish we could go for coffee. I'm sure Jared would love playing with them
Heather - don't worry about feeling like your attitude is in the crapper - all moms have those same moments (for some of us, those moments last a LOT longer). Don't stress about it. You're a great mom, the boys are so lucky to have you.
My mom was right - the boys seriously look like a little Heather LOL! I didn't know you worked at IGA, was it in the Penner Foods days? Cuz I worked there through high school, we must have been there at different times. Sorry you are having a hard week, I will be praying for you guys..
