Howdy... from Stony Plain

Well all, I have travelled to Stony Plain, to babysit - if you will- for some good friends of ours. Their kids pretty much take care of themselves... so it's not alot of work for me. And whats more, the youngest 2 are homeschooled so it gives me company during the day and entertainment for little Joshua.

We headed to Peterborough area last wedensday and spent the day on thursday with family. It was so great to see everyone... man I miss our families. We also travelled to oshawa on thursday night where I stayed with friends and ray went back to windsor. I got to go to the DCN ladies coffee time, which was nice to see familiar faces. Julie, Tony and Isaac took me to airport and hung around with me while i waited for my flight. I so needed their help b/c I couldn't manage joshua in a stroller, a suitcase on wheels and a huge carseat! Thankfully the flight wasn't that full so the nice lady at the west jet counter reserved a whole row for Joshua and I - plus she let me take JOshua's carseat on the plane so that he could sit in it- free ! IT was such a huge help as Joshua is super mobile right now, and the little while that he was out of the seat he was so busy and wanting down.... He was also looking around the airplane with the hugest grin on his face - it looked like he was trying to say to everyone on the plane "look at me, I am sooo cute... don't you realize how cute I am?" Of course who am I to disagree with him?

So I get to Stony Plain and the boys have the coolest game for their PS2, its called Karoke revolution... its so much fun! We have contests and I am getting better and better, and the selection of songs is quite vast. Plus you get to create your own character, different outfits and accessories... and when you score a certain number of points you can unlack different character and outfits. We unlocked an elvis costume, a bathrobe and a robot. I am having a blast with this game, almost enough to wish that I owned a PS2 just to get this game... this game and Dance Dance Revolution...

I have been chauffering the boys around a night all week... its been fun! We made Rice Krispies on tuesday and they turned out ! YAh! We also made Toblerone fudge... hmm hmm good! I was surprised that the fudge turned out... I was sceptical, as you would know my luck with baking if you ahve been keep up with reading my blog. But even the boys were raving about the fudge! It barely lasted a day.

Well Lizzie, less then 30 days until your birthday!

I will chat later... oh yeah - did i mention that there was a lot of snow out here? Winter driving anyone?
