Cabin Fever Ok so I lied about the warming up here part. It's freezing and there' s talk of a major flood when the snow all melts. We'll see. I know I talk a lot about how cold it is here, but I like Winnipeg for other reasons.
On Friday we got a babysitter (honestly where are my nieces and nephews when I need them?! Pay back time!!) and we went out to a couples party that Genevieve and Graham were having. Kyle and I made our infamous caramel cheese popcorn. You may think that sounds gross, but its so not. We visited. Then there was a bunch on delicious Thai food that she made. After that Jill and I had to leave for our soccer game. It kind of cut the party really short for me, but we all know that I love soccer more than most, so it was ok. We won our game too. I went back to the party to get Kyle and then we went home. As a party favor we got this little bulls eye thing with velcro balls and different love things you have to do to eachother. Some of them are really weird, like blow in ear, or rub tummy- no thanks!! The boys like playing with it though. When we got home, our babysitter had our house cleaned spick and span. That's always nice.
Saturday was boring. We stayed home all day. Kyle went to work and took the car. He didn't get home until bed time for the boys. So boring.
Today in nursery I was pretty much the only one there. One of the helpers phoned to let me know she wasn't going to be there, but I was still expecting the actual leader to be there. The thing about nursery is that there are a few kids that cling to me and only me. Sloan is one of them, of course, although he's ok, as long as someone else isn't asking for my attention right in front of him. It was a little crazy. The lesson was ok, and I found some visual aids that Mom gave me to go with it. Actually I have a lot of Mom's old nursery stuff, because I asked for it. Going through it is fun because she has all these hilarious cute mudsy drawings and other handmade mudsy things like a glove with little kitten faces sewn on the finger tips. Unfortunately the last time Mom was in nursery, it was before the new manual, so the lessons are different now, but I can use bits and pieces here and there in different lessons.
Now we're home and I'm bored. Adriel and I fell asleep together on the couch and as soon as we did, Sloan started calling me. Cabin fever is on the brink. Kyle just realized yesterday that the assignment he thought was due next Monday is due tomorrow. So it's just me and the kids. Should be good.

haha I remember some of that mudsy nursery stuff. It was all so hilariously cute.
And that's awesome about your soccer game. You should have someone take some pics of you playing and post them! Just a thought.
