Earrings, kayaking and even a bath in the kitchen.....

Not too much happening in these parts this week. Just getting ready to head camping on Saturday which means getting everything in order so it can be packed on Friday and ready to go on Saturday. I've been making lists and checking them twice in hopes that we don't forget anything........we usually forget something but it's never anything major so we will grab it at the general store. The kids are excited as am I. Most people think I'm crazy for being excited about living in a tent for the week but the kids are on the go all day and have fun with their cousins and you don't hear them fighting about computers etc. LOVE IT!!! At night we do a campfire and then they are all usually pretty willing to hop into bed. Fun times and great memories!!

So last week was a busy week. Jessica and Sarah both decided that they were going to get their ears pierced. It was a long complicated story and to be honest I don't feel like typing it, in the end they both have cute earrings and are excited for birthdays and Christmas knowing that they now could get new earrings. They have been really great about getting them cleaned and didn't even cry or scream the day they had them done. Julie and Marie ( at Peoples) did a fantastic job!!

On Thursday Jeff and his buddy Aaron went on a day kayak trip. I think it was about a 6 hour paddle that they did. Jeff was itching to get out in his new boat and they couldn't have asked for a better day. Tanya and I dropped them off at Shubie Park in the morning and mid afternoon we met up with them at Oakfield Park. Tanya and I took the kids out early and let them play in the water. They had a blast together and have been asking to go back ever since!! We plan to try to do a little more swimming at Keji where the kids enjoy it so much. Hopefully it will wear them out even more:)

And lastly what would the week be without a little bit of mess to clean up. I thought that I would let Georgia feed herself a cup of yogurt. She usually does a pretty good job. I think her eating it in a clean way went out the door when she tipped it up like it was a cup and tried to drink it. It was too funny!!! Needless to say she thought she should then rub it through her hair like it was shampoo. We had a good laugh watching her. In the end I got her shampoo and gave her a bath in the kitchen sink. I think she enjoyed being able to sit right under the tap. What a kid!!!
