Not too much is going on around here. Hubby is still striking...blah blah blah. He's planning on taking all next week off, and we are thinking of going camping. Haven't quite decided yet.
This weekend my sister and my mom and I are going to get away for a night, we're going to Yorkton!!! My sister is wanting to get away before the new baby comes, so that is what we are doing!! I'd like this to be an annual thing, hint hint Mom and Cari!! And something we should have started a LONG time ago!!! Just next time, lets not go to Yorkton ;) The biggest reason we are going to Yorkton, is to visit my nanny, my moms mom. So we will do that, and get a pedicure, and go to a movie maybe, maybe go swimming, maybe go to the casino...lol And definitely enjoy some quiet time with just the girls. It will be good to get away for some family bonding!!
School in some parts have started already, and in this neck of the woods, it is still Summer Holidays!! Well, the real reason is I haven't ordered any books yet. I have a lot of books, just need some work books in the handwriting and math department. Otherwise, we are good to go. Just need to get a little motivation as well, I'm working on that....to be honest, I'm not all together this year, maybe it's because I'm nervous about having to teach 4 kids, and that scares me. Maybe it's because I'm not confident with myself, not sure that I can do another year. Don't get me wrong, I love having my kids at home with me, I'd be a great unschooler, 'cept I'm not comfortable with that either. I wish we could just hang out, and not learn anything, but seriously, I do want my kids to learn, it's just getting harder...that's all. Something you can pray for.
We went to Moose Jaw on the 23rd, it was a last minute trip. We heard that the Air Force Base was having a 'open house' or sorts, Armed Forces Day. They had some displays, this is inside a big tank thing, even though it's not a tank...I can't remember what it's called,
and planes out,
had a bit of an air show as well. It was pretty fun. We didn't want to stay the whole day, but we stayed longer than we planned. We saw the plane that the Prime Minister uses to fly across the ocean!! Check it out:
This is where Mr Harper Chillaxes!!! There might be a potty in there but if not,
this could be where the PM goes to the potty while flying...

Sounds like you've had an eventful summer like us :) Well... I wish you all the best as 'school' starts again - I really admire your ability to keep your kids at home because I know my parience would wear thin pretty quickly! Enjoy your much deserved girly get-away! Sounds like fun! I'm trying to get about four girlfriends together to do pedi's asap here too, since one is about to have a babe... we're cutting it pretty close though, so not sure what's going to happen! PS: Ethan's backpack won't always be that big :)
That was supposed to say patience!
Blog looks great, I really like the harbour pic. Have a good time with your mom and sister.
You are adorable...you know - I totally would want to see where the PM has a BM!!
Don't be too stressed about school - your kids are great, you are a great mom, you guys have a great family - and they learn way more good things by being home together than the bad things they would learn and pick up not being at home!!! ((hugs))
