Day 46

This is going to be a fairly short blog, I'm sorry. It is only 9:30 but I am exhausted and have to be up at 4:45 :| I'm not even going to have time tonight to carve the other pumpkin I was going to do for the boys.

Got up today and got the boys ready. Heloise had the day off though so I didn't have too much pressure on me once they were done eating breakfast. We did some of their homework so that they wouldn't have to do it last minute on Sunday, and then Josh and Nathaniel's friend Charlie and his sister (Zach's friend) Holly showed up. We got everyone's shoes on and then drove the older boys to school where they had football all day, and another one of Zach's friends Will (Charlie and Holly's cousin) met up with us. We strapped them in and drove to Braintree. The parking lot was packed so we left the car in the Freeport lot and walked over to our destination "Crazy Kids". It's a place like Go Bananas with slides, climbing structures and ball pits (I thought of you today Aunt Cindy) :p

Heloise and I sat upstairs. She did school work while I played DS, and read my book. After a lot of play time, the 3 children decided they wanted to have lunch there. Their time was almost up when they were about halfway through their meals so Heloise told me to walk to Starbucks and get myself a drink, and meet them back at the car :D On my way I found a store that could be my 2nd favourite (after the Bench store of course). It's a Scrapbooking store called the Paper Mill and it's got a WHOLE bunch of Snowman stuff!!! (A movie I loved when I was little and will find a copy of before I move back home :p)

Anyway, I got to Starbucks, waited in line, and when I approached the cash and asked for my drink, the girl (who I find rude) actually knew what I was talking about! Another girl came around the corner and asked what I had just ordered and the cashier told her it was a London Fog! Finally someone knew what I liked! Then the girl that makes the drinks was like oh that's my favourite!! - YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! I knew it was going to taste right! - As soon as that thought crossed my mind, I watched the cashier get my tea bags. She proceeded to open the packets with her teeth :| Gross right? I wasn't going to let it stop me from getting my drink...but I must admit, I am a little disturbed. Anyway, the girl who actually drinks them, finished my drink off, and I was on my way. It was delicious.

I met everyone back in the car and we drove home. When we arrived the 3 children played together and didn't need much assistance. Heloise continued with her work, and I did some stuff on my laptop. Charlie, Holly and Will's moms came over, bringing the older boys with them, and we all piled into cars to head to the movie theatres. We saw Fantastic Mr. Fox. It was AWESOME! Zach didn't seem to enjoy it at all...he talked through a lot of it which was kind of annoying, but he was talking to Heloise so I didn't pay too much attention and therefore wasn't too distracted. Josh and Nathaniel said they enjoyed it, and I think Heloise and I were the only 2 in the theatre that actually let our laughs out. We thought it was hilarious! As I was one of the only ones laughing, when it came to a certain part, I started laughing uncontrollably, but was doing it quietly, I was very close to an outburst though. It was great!

We got out of the theatre, found out some of the other kids we went with didn't enjoy it (crazy kids), and hopped into the car. We stopped at McDonalds on the way home where I got a burger (I know...I haven't done that in soooo long...and probably won't do it again for a long time). As we ate we drove the boys to Rugby. Nathaniel was too tired to go tonight, so him, Zach and I waited in the car while Heloise dropped Josh. We then waited to make sure Tim got there, and then headed home.

I washed my hair, packed and came downstairs to write my blog and watch some TV with Heloise and Tim. Found out I have to be up earlier than I thought...and so now I'm going to finish my tea and go to bed. Sorry this blog isn't nearly as exciting as yesterday's. Tomorrow's will be from Winnipeg :D YAYYYYY!!! Good Night xx

  2. Oh Maija, that tea packet/teeth episode was wildly disturbing. I can see where you didn't let her have it because a) You are super sweet and b) You're going to be getting a lot more London Fogs there before your year is up, but I have to say, I think I'd place an anonymous phone call or speak to somebody about that. I had to re-read the last line on the drink paragraph, because in my early morning stupor, I thought the 2nd girl actually drank from your cup. (Finished my drink off)....ah, time to lie back down and try to catch a few more winks. I really need to try one of these London Fogs the next time I get to Wpg.
