Our fun weekend...


So we went to Magrath this weekend to spend the weekend with our friends and we had a blast. So thanks to Patrick and Louise for putting up up in their house.
Saturday. Louise and I decided to brave 4 kids under 3 and take them to the Coaldale candy parade. Boy did the kids have a blast. They sure raked in the candy. They had a petting zoo and we again braved the crowds and took the kids in there as well. Micahela started to enjoy it, but got scared when a sheep came up to eat out of her hand. Keira, though was right up there petting all the animals. I think if it wasn't so crowed and she didn't have some big animal eating out of her hand she would have enjoyed it too. Then, if that wasn't enough, we took them swimming. Michaela has been swimming up a storm and I was tempted to let her jump off the diving board, but I chickened out. She is a little fish in the water. She found a floating toy and decided to use it as her own little private diving board.
While Sean and Patrick were at a wedding that night Louise and I put four kids to bed and had it all done by 7:30 YEAH for us, needless to say it was a small miracle. Then while it was quiet, we worked on the quilt that we decided to make for Michaela about 8 months back. It was fun, but ask Louise, it was a ton of work and she still has a lot do to on it (at least all the seams were ironed. hehe ;)
So we paked a lot into a weekend, but still it was fun. I've missed my best friend since they moved to Magrath, and it's nice to be able to have weekends that we can hang out and be together.
Love ya Weez.
