Santa is coming to town.....

My legs feel good today. No pain. stiff a bit but the pain when I bend has passed. (That's a good thing). No exercise today :( I had Tyson home, no excuse I know. But I had many other things more important to get done. That had to be done.

I can have a day off I just have to be sure to stick to my calories and push that water into me. I find it easier to drink it at work when I am busy and get my few minute breaks, than at home when I have so many people needing different things all at once.

I took Dalton out of school early this afternoon. He went to see his teacher from last year, Ms. LeSage. He loves her. I guess that she was really happy to see him. Surprised and happy!! He was too. Thank you Nicole for making such a wonderful dent in my son's life and for giving him back the love of school. Your one special woman... and you hubby is not too bad either...:).

Nanny and Poppa took the boys to the Santa Claus parade. It is at night, and lots of lights. I met up with them after work and finished watching the end of it with them. Pastor Mark was sure to stop by and drop a TON of treats at their feet. I said no but apparently he forgot that Halloween was just 2 weeks ago. He always spoils them.( on the up side though, I have been good to stay out of the treats. If you know me personally, you know how good it is that I have not eaten the chocolate bars, it calls me but I resist! Yay Me!)

Tyson was so excited this year, I was surprised. It will be fun this year at Christmas. It's fun ever year! Just more interactive this year.

THANKS Mom and Dad!! We all Love you so much! The things you do for us we can't say thank you enough.

parade & fireworks

Today was the official opening of the Waterfront festival. It was the parade which officially starts it all. After the parade they have the ethnic food tents, lots of vendors selling things, and the fireworks. There are also lots of kids things the rides, children's character shows and that sort of stuff. For the adults they have lots of ethnic dance, music and those sorts of things going on.

So tonight we went again! First the parade. Colleen Tyson's godmother came out for supper because Scott was away and we enjoyed the night with her. Daddy was to tired to join us and spent the night home in peace and quiet!

So on to the parade!

This was the sea cadets from Kingston...

And this is the Belleville Shriners. They do lots for the disabled children in the Quinte area.

Tyson waiting ever so patiently watching for someone or something he likes!

Oh wait a second...who is that lady on the far side of that banner....

"IT"S NANNY!!"

And here are some Canadian soldiers.

I didn't take pictures of the Budweiser girls which was much to Darin's disappointment. I'll just tell you though the one girls left very little to the imagination!

After the parade we walked down to Zwick's island for some ethnic snacks. We also went through the vendor tents. We got some bedazzles for our crocks. Dalton loves them, I love my little Tim Horton's one. We got one for Colleen too!

We enjoyed some Dutch donuts and Dalton had an ice cone. We played a couple of games and then wandered around the park until it was time for the fireworks. They were excellent. We had the best seats. We sat directly under them. We laid on the grass and they were right over our head! What a show we know where to sit next year! I remembered to turn the flash off on my camera so the pictures actually turned out. Sort of! The whole evening was a good time! These fireworks are my favorite! This is when my batteries in my camera went dead! Isn't that always the way!

And then we packed up and came home....

Thanks Colleen for the best night ever! We had tons of fun!
