On Friday Richard got off work in the early afternoon. We took advantage of a nice afternoon by getting some ice cream from Dairy Queen and going down to Kildonan Park. We had a nice walk while Emma said 'hi' to the ducks and ran to the little park. She had a great time going up and down the slides, swinging and of course playing in the sandbox. In her own words, she built a castle! Great imagination that little one has. Xavier had fun swinging on his own in a baby swing, laughing as he went back and forth. He then had a chance to swing at first sitting on Papa's lap (on the big swing of course) and then on Maman's lap. Emma swung on Maman's lap as well.
We then walked over to the Witch's Hut (built in homage of the brother's Grimm stories).
Emma had fun feeding the ducks in the creek behind the hut.
Saturday in the morning, it was pouring rain. We got pratically soaked before even getting into the pool for the swimming lesson. Emma did really well in the lesson, as usual. The rain cleared off by the afternoon. The kids and I went to the Hi-Neighbour Festival. L'Arche had a booth and was giving away some yummy free food, which we took full advantage of. He checked out the rest of the festival, but I decided to skip the ride/game section as it was extremely crowded. Emma really wanted to go on the rides, however, I feel Tinkertown will be a much better place for her. Probably will go to Tinkertown during Richard's holidays later this month. I can't wait. I know Emma will just love it there!!
Tomorrow is Xavier's VCUG, I'm a little nervous for him, but I know he'll be a little trooper. Little guy.
Oh yeah! Today we had a visit from Pascale which was nice, she seems to have recovered well from her surgery last month. Also, she is buying a new bike so I will buy her old one! I'm so excited, I haven't had a bike since I came back to Canada, I left my old bike in France as a donation to the L'Arche community there. It's going to be nice. I saw at Toys 'r' Us they have this bike seat for your little one that you place in the front of the bike instead of the back. Supposed to be safer. You can bet I'll be saving up for that and of course a helmet for Emma. It's going to be great to back on a bike!
Also, we christened our new BBQ tonight. Our BBQ has a side burner, so I was able to sautee the onions and mushrooms while I cooked the veggie burgers. That was a great convenience. We enjoyed our wonderful first BBQ meal on the new deck Richard built, it was so nice. Right now Richard is giving me a little break as he gives a bath to both kids. All I can hear is a lot of splashing! I'm very happy today :-)
