Busy Weekend

Whew...busy weekend...lots on the go...Friday night we went to Josee's house to celebrate Connor's 12th birthday. The kids had a big "cousin" soccer game...let me just say if it was real soccer the yellow and red cards would be flying, especially when siblings are near one another out there. Sometimes it's better to not watch as a parent.

Sat morning took Graham to the Michelin bike rally in Berwick...what a great event. Every child was fitted with a new helmet, it was a sea of yellow bike helmets. Every child received a "goodie" bag with a water bottle, safety book, stickers, etc and then got a little snack as well. Michelin did a bang up job and didn't charge a penny for it and there was over 400 kids there, it was bedlam but it was great! Then it was off to the hair dresser to "return my hair to nature" as I like to call it...now we are back to our "natural" brown with no "white" highlights and we are happy.

Sunday we went to the McKeil household to meet their newest member...little Madelyn. Christopher and Brenda were down visiting with their new 3 month old baby...she is a sweetie, good baby and she is cute (and I'm not just saying that). I will try to post pictures of her later. Got to hold he while she napped, fed her a bottle. Graham even fed her a bottle...both kids held her and were thoroughly impressed with her. Mike enjoyed just sitting under the canopy at the poolside and enjoying relaxing, I think his eyes closed a couple of times under his sunglasses. Nice relaxing day for him with the family before he heads to Toronto (today) for his cooking competition...good luck, Mike!!

We bought a lawn mower the other day, our yard is quite sloped in the back so we wanted a self propelled one...had to be rear wheel though. We checked the sign at Sears and asked the lady and she assured us the one we bought was rear wheel...well, guess what, it's not!! It's a piece of sh*& and doesn't work on hills...I'll be making a trip to Sears this week to discuss their options!!
