4 weeks left !!

so , i realize that i've missed like a weeks worth of events , but heres my reasoning : last week , i wasnt gonna write until thursday or friday , cause first of all , i didnt know when i was gonna find the time , and second of all , all my days during the week are the same , so i would only have needed a quick re-cap ( y ) and then on the weekend , i wasnt home friday night long enough to write , and i was at a campout on satuday so couldnt do it then . and then last night , after my weekend , i was too tired to make time ! so , although its been a whole week , i do remember all the highlights that you all deserve to know ;) so we'll start with during the week ..

its was all pretty much the same , at work at least . the daily routine of games for the first 3 hours of the day , lunch at noon , and at the pool for the last 2 hours . then i hadda stay with the day care for an hour after , so everyday , i would finish at 4 . except wednesdays , then its 330 . so as for work , everything was same old same old , starting to get boring lol . on thursday night , we had Cirque Eloise ! hearing the word Cirque , i thought this circus show was gonna be like an elephant and clown kinda circus , but it definitely was not ! lol it was all acrobatics , and contortionists , and crazy bicyclists and jugglers . it was actually amazing !! the stage was set up with a big wall with different levels and door and window openings on it . so throughout the show , the acrobats , and contortionist , and trampoline guys would be all over the wall . the guy on the bicycle was pretty insane ! he pretty much climbed the whole wall on his bike , bouncing around on the back wheel , doing crazy stunts and what not . although i wanted to see the elephants , this circus was still amazing !!

on wednesday , it was one of the girls in our groups birthday ; leighe . so on friday , valerie ( our ymca coordinator ) had all 8 of us over to her house to celebrate :) so we had a dance party and went swimming and alison made a cake . it was a good time :) valerie taught some of us bellydancing , it was pretty cool . in september she's teaching a class or something so she taught us a few moves . ;)
so on saturday , we went to la ronde !! so much fun , despite the rain that washed us out early . we went on a few roller coasters , pirate ship , and my favourite , the swings !! :) lol we even got shanna on all the roller coasters , and before la ronde , she absolutely hated them , but not anymore ! we were going to stay til later in the evening , and have dinner there too , but we ended up leaving around 2 or 3 because it started pouring rain ! so we didnt get to finish the whole park , but what we did do was still great :) we all went back to ali's house after , where we were camping out for the night . for dinner , ali's host dad took me , ali , leighe , and daseul to the sushi shop , so we all got a sushi platter for dinner ! that was prolly the highlight of my night :) and then everyone else got pizza ( y ) we went swimming at ali's , and roasted marshmallows and hot dogs , started watch a movie , and we were up late in the tent talking about everything !! and then ben was in a tent all by himself beside us . so the 7 of us girls crammed into a tent together . shanna and kristen were up until like , 5 in the morning ! me and daseul on the other hand were passed out by 12 . after working everyday and being out all day on the weekends , everyones so tired by the end of the week .
sunday morning , we all woke up and got ready to go to laser tag and shopping in montreal ! we had breakfast at ali's , and then valerie came to meet up with us and we all left for montreal . laser tag was funn , we got to play 2 games , the first one was every man for themself , then we played on teams . our team dominated of course ! ;) it was all glow in the dark , and like 3 floors , so we were everywhere . after laser tag , the 8 of us got to go out and shop for like 3 and a half hours before dinner . it was so cool , the laser tag palce was a little hole in the wall kind of thing on a street , then all up and down the street were all the different stores ; like all the ones from a mall , like american eagle or garage , or winners or guess , but it was like an outdoor mall almost . everything from a mall like georgian mall or something was on a street , it was pretty cool . so leighe and daseul and me split off and when into all sorts of places and shopping together :) we met up with the rest of the group and valerie for dinner around 530 and ate at a cute little diner kinda place . we were there for what seemed like forever , cause we were held up by one of the girls in the group , shannon . she's from missisauga , so she didnt know any of us and we didnt know her . so as much as we're trying to make an effort to include her in our group , none of us can stand her . :/ she was the one the screwed us over during the amazing race . ( y ) anyway , after dinner , we took the metro to the station where we got picked up by some of the moms . then we all went back to ali's to get our overnight stuff and headed to our own homes . it was so nice to finally get home and know i could go to bed ! i've been ready for bed lately at like 8 ! thats how tired i am after each week -.- lol . everynight when i go to bed i fall asleep within 5 mins of my head hitting the pillow ! so this morning when i woke up , i didnt wanna get out of bed !
it was raining when i woke up this morning , at first i thought 'yess ! its raining so it wont be as damn hot as it has been !!' but then i realized that it was raining so we were gonna be inside all day aat work , so its gonna be a long day . and yess , it was a long day ! i was almost falling asleep standing up thats how bad it was . but when it was finally 4 oclock i was so excited ! i was going to have a nap when i got home but i got too consumed in writing my blog lol then i hadda stop for dinner .
so things are going good here , 4 more weeks until im home , and i miss everyone so much !! feel free to comment on a post , and i'll comment back , i wanna keep in touch with everyone :) hope things are great with everyone at home !!

  1. Hey Sweetheart!!!!

    Awesome blog, you sure packed alot of stuff into that one. It sounds like the group of girls and ben! are really getting along great. Fun wkd was had by all. I sure hope you get to take Shanna with you this wkd on the boat and camping, that would be great! I'll keep my fingers crossed. We are just having a "chill out" wkd as the kids (like you) have been so busy and haven't had a day to sleep in since the first Sun they were here. So Dad has to go to a training course Fri and Sat, therefore the 3 kids and I are going to go to the Newmarket mall, (Catherine wants to shop at Forever 21), and we'll probably stop for pizza and chicken wings then sleepin on Sat, BBQ when Dad gets home Sat, play bocce etc. and sleepin again on Sun. Not sure what we'll do on Sun. Maybe head over to Wasaga or something, even tho they are doing that on their last wkd.
    We are still waiting to talk to Paul and Sophie to see when they are flying in for the Aug long wkd. Looks like Mitchell's are also going to come up for that wkd. It's Kempenfest and Aaron Pritchett (country singer) is playing on Sun night. Yahoo!!!!! Sound be loads of fun!
    Anyways, the S curve is finally being paved today, it's been like 3 1/2 weeks of driving on gravel, yuck!!!! So tonight I will wash my van and have it finally stay clean! haha
    I miss you tons, and love you even more. Keep up the great job on the blogs...

    Love Mom

  5. Hey Emmer,

    Wooww--that was a very detailed blog! I can't believe how busy you are and how much you are jamming into your free time. It does sound like alot of fun but no rest for the wicked, eh? ;)

    Not much new at this end. Both boys are home which I'm happy about and 17 more sleeps until the big boy comes home from Sweden. Not that I'm counting. hahahaha I'm so looking forward to our family vacation at the Schwark cottage and then seeing you on the way home.

    Decided to let the boys venture out on their own today, just the two of them. They're taking the bus to Conestoga Mall (20 minute walk from our house to the closest bus stop) and will watch a movie and go for lunch. Thought it'd be nice for the two of them to do something together once a week. Not sure what I'll plan for them for next week but I'll figure something out.

    We're looking forward to heading to Midhurst for the long weekend to hang with the Heberts (minus you). I'm looking forward to meeting Paul and Sofie, too. I've heard LOTS of good things about them!

    Anyway, better get some work done since I am at work. Hope you're having a great day. Keep up the good work on the blogs!

    Love you,
    Auntie M

  7. That's so cool that the kids of soul-sisters are keeping in touch! :) He IS your little brother, after all. LOL! Yes, I am trying to plan things once a week that they can do together. Otherwise, Andrew is off with is buddies and leaves Adam in his dust. It's great that Andrew has lots of friends but I would love for Andrew and Adam to stay buddies throughout adulthood. And yes, very exctied about Gabe's return--15 more sleeps! It will be sooo much fun at the Hebert household as always. Hopefully Gabe won't ask for a trade to the Barrie Colts however. hahahahaha....Hope you have a great weekend. Miss you. Love you. Auntie M
