John's last day

Today was Johnathan's last day to be with the kids. He had a great summer here and we had a great time too. So today to make things special we went to Kingston to the mini golf/ go cart/ movie/ amusement ride park. Then to Chucky Cheese. The boy's all of them had a great time. First they rode on the go carts. Their package included 6 laps but it wasn't busy so they both got 8.

Johnathan was big enough he got to ride alone.

But Dalton had to ride with me while John stayed with Tyson. He was laughing the whole time watching us kids play. He unfortunately wasn't big enough yet.

Then they decides to go to the amusement rides. They rode so long on most of them that they got sick of it. Ever heard of such a thing? The rides lasted at least five minutes each. They got eight rides a piece.

They went on the scrambler twice, the big slide once, the spider 3 times, and the tilt a whirl twice. The spider was their favorite.

Dalton liked the big slide. He always does. Tyson would have liked that one too but we went and played in the water park instead while the boys went on the rides.

After the rides, they went to play their game of mini gold. that too came in their package. All for $20.00 each, I didn't think that that was bad at all. And they had tons of fun for the day.

Then by that time they were all starving! Or at least whining about it. So we headed over to Chucky Cheese. They choose a peperoni pizza and played a bunch of games. We got home about 5pm so I think it was a good last day.

We only had one problem all day.....

Chucky the mouse came in our row. Just our row and this was what happened!

Tyson absolutely freaked out. He hated that big Ol' mouse! So he didn't come anywhere near him after that, and trust me Tyson watched everywhere he went! The kids had fun though and we had a great summer. Thanks John!

Woo Hoo back to school Tuesday!

Finally a week's holidays!

Well today starts the beginning of a weeks holidays for me. I cannot wait I have lots that I want to get done and finally some time to do it. Seems like it was just yesterday that I returned to work from maternity leave. Hard to believe it has been a year already.

I hope the weather stays nice but I have a feeling that it isn't. They are calling for thunderstorms on and off all week. Wish me luck on getting all my stuff done!

Not to mention that I get to spend some time with my favorite two boys! I'm sure I'll have some picks to share this week!

First Day of holidays!!

Today was the first day of summer holidays. Officially. Dalton got to have the extra day yesterday for Great Grandma's funeral. So today we did something special.

We went to the Kinsman park. The kids love it there. They have a fountain and a pool and lots of equipment for them to play on. We met Grandma and Jesse there. So Dalton was so happy about that. He loves when he gets to spend time with Jesse.

This is the fountain that he kids love to play around in....

This is the play ground equipment that Tyson loved to have Nanny and I chase him on and around.

Apparently the water wasn't too cold for the bigger boys.

Today has been a ridiculous day. Dalton's ears have been in his fanny and I have already had to remind him what his holidays are going to be like if it continues. After we went to the park and had a great day, we went and had our hair cut.That chore with Tyson just doesn't get any easier.

We also had a few errands to run. Dalton just continued to get worse as the day went on. At Canadian tire he found out how bad his day was going to get. I let him misbehave and then we went to the van. Quite honestly I was sick of speaking to him.

He got a little surprise that he wasn't expecting when he got into the van. Needless to say we managed to finish our errands without anymore incidents. And he was good once we got home.

Oh lord help me with the rest of the summer holidays and either help the child to behave or me to have some more patience.

I am generally good and don't get too frustrated with Dalton because he is good, but probably after having to be so good yesterday he just couldn't help but let loose today.

Here's to better summer holidays!
