May long weekend


For the most part, it's been a cold, cloudy weekend, which has been conducive for some activities, but not others. Mostly this weekend has been spent catching up on chores and relaxing.


Saturday we spent in Regina. The girls spent the day with Grandpa & Grandma. Glynn & I spent the day shopping. We bought new furniture for our living room and an armoire to hold the TV in the family room. We also bought some art for the walls and some summer clothes for the girls. One of our favourite stops was browsing in Chapters; we didn't actually buy anything except grande mochas to shop with! It's nice to walk up and down the aisles looking at different books, especially when you don't have kids with you. Most of the day it rained. Actually it changed back and forth from light rain to pouring rain.


Yesterday it didn't rain, however, the wind was so strong we didnt' go outside. Instead, we spent the day inside watching movies and baking. By the end we had cookies, puffed wheat cake, and apple crisp. We also had roast chicken for dinner. The girls enjoyed having popcorn and watching Tinkerbell. By days end, the wind died down.


Today we've spent doing chores, although Glynn took the girls to the farm this morning to go visit. I spent the morning prepping a new chemistry unit; then I painted the back entrance. Or at least part of it. Hopefully, I can finish it next weekend.


The most exciting thing is that Rebekah has learned to ride her bike!! And just in time, tomorrow is the bike rodeo at her school. Now that she can ride on her own, she'll be able to taker her bike and participate. This week we have soccer Tuesday and Thursday evening. Hopefully, there won't be any rain. Last Thursday soccer was rained out. It was supposed to be their team picture evening. It's hard to believe it's the last week in May already. One more month and I'll have summer holidays!!!
