- My trip to Ottawa went really well and a good time was had by all. I arrived just before noon on Thursday and walked Pete to the bus stop. Fortunately I had stopped in Halifax the night before and managed to get some Pokemon cards, so Pete was ecstatic to be able to take them to school and show his friends!
- Then Shan & David & I played quietly whilst Leah napped. I was given a million instructions, the important ones I remembered, the rest .........whatever.......
- Anyway, the wedding guests left Friday morning for Toronto and we were on our own. I will confess, I expected tears and possibly tantrums as they drove away, but nothing, the boys just took my hand and off we went to the park!
- Pete's T-Ball Tournament ( he was the best batter on the team!)
- Dinner out at Boston Pizza ( till I hit David in the forehead with the car door after dinner and gave him a huge goose egg! )
- UP the Movie on Sunday afternoon ( I think I enjoyed it as much or more than the boys did & I found the theater without getting lost! )
- Sunday suppertime when the parents arrived home ( the boys were happy to see them but still wanted to continue on our walk!)
- Shan & Paul had a nice weekend away! ( and they appreciated it, so I felt really good to be able to help out! )
- I forgot my camera ( totally braindead of me )
- Me coming down with the head/sinus cold from hell mere hours after they arrived home (not sure if I could have coped with the boys feeling as horrid as I did!)
- I did mange to get to the yarn store and picked up some Berocco Metallic Sox yarn for me and Heddy. I also got some Apple Laine sock yarn and some white Cotton/ Bamboo blend to knit a shawl for Shannon. I think I may do the Faroese Flower shawl again. I really enjoyed it the first time and I think it will knit up faster now that I know the pattern better!
- I did some sock knitting at the airport and on the plane and the same thing on the way home. No sock knitting was accomplished in Ottawa. I did manage to crank out a couple of dishcloths for Shan, but that was it for knitting. Two little boys ages 5 & 3 do not allow for much knitting time. They actually don't allow for much down time at all! I don't know how Shan does it with Leah in the mix as well. She is a little menace, racing around and climbing on everything!! Cute as a button but definitely needs a constant eye on her!
- I arrived home last evening around 9 pm and I was definitely dragging and sniffling and stuffed up and generally feeling horrible!
Today I will go vote and then get the mail and come home and spend a quiet afternoon and evening. John is away for a few days, so I will have to walk the dogs, despite the cold. Oh well, it won't kill me :)) Other than that, I will rest and hope to get this cold gone!!!

Thanks for picking up some sparkley yarn for me, too (I'd have had yarn envy, I'm sure, when you show me yours! So I felt it wise to get some for me, just in case it is something I can't live without!)
