wow, talk about being busy! Ever since easter we've been just go go go! Last I posted was that hubby and I were headed to Cuba, and we did go, from the 9th to the 17th of May. It was AMAZING! I have some great pics from there, that I'll post in a separate blog post later because I just don't have enough time right now.
The girls are just about done school, and with that it's been busy for them too. They've been doing speeches, testing, and lots of field trips. Tomorrow is track and field, on the 8th, 15th and 17th Phoebe has field trips, then she's done school and Madde will be finished on the 26th. Crazy, I can't believe that in the fall Phoebe will be in grade 1 and Madde will be in Grade 3!! They're also just about finished up with swimming lessons, there's only 2 classes left, and knowing them, they'll want to go right back in again.
As for me, I've started kickboxing classes. I go every Monday and Wednesday from 9:30-11:30am and I LOVE it! Wow, what a work out! I went there the first day thinking it was going to just be another aerobics class, and boy was I wrong! I walk out of there every time feeling like every muscle in my body is tight and sore and it RAWKS! It's a nice mixture of kick boxing, circuit training, cardio and core exercises. I'll be doing that until the end of June and then we'll see what happens from there.
This past weekend I went to a scrapbooking retreat with my sister at a lake about an hour north of here called Pigeon Lake. It was GREAT! it always is! We went last year as well and decided to make it an annual get away together, so we'll be going again for sure! I hadn't scrapbooked in months so it was much needed lol! I actually managed to finish 5 pages for my album and 1 for Chrystals :o) It was a great time, the food is always amazing and I also managed to win a prize for being the LOSER at musical chairs lol!!
Now this weekend comming up we're having Phoebes 6th birthday party. I still can't believe she's 6! Her birthday was actually on the 27th of May but because I had already planned the retreat with my sister a few months back we had to bump Phoebe's party to this coming weekend. She doesn't seem to mind tho. Darren's mom and dad are coming, as well as some of her friends from school and Chrystal, David and the kids too. Then Sunday Chrystal and David are taking off and leaving the two littlest squirts here with me for a whole week! I'm so excited!! I can't wait to have them here! We'll be watching them while Chrystal and David take a much needed, well deserved trip to the bahamas!
A couple of weekends ago we took the girls out west to spend a day in the mountains on the trikes. It was a lot of fun, and a long, hot day! We got the trikes unloaded and headed down the trail around 10:30 in the morning, and by the time we got back to the truck it was 6:30! We stopped a couple times along the way, once for lunch, a few times for spitz, and a few times to pee of course lol! Little girls means little bladders :o) All in all it was a great day!
Now just because, here are a couple quick shots of my beautiful little 6 year old, I got a whole bunch of cute ones out of her the day after her birthday, but these two were a few of my favorite!
And I can't very well post pics of one without the other so here are a couple shots I took today of my beautiful, crazy, toothless little 7 year old... *grin*
Now I'm sure I forgot a whole lotta stuff I wanted to post about, but that's ok, that just means I'll have to come back real soon to post again :o) Like tomorrow, because we went fishing tonight after super and both Madde and Phoebe caught fish all on their own! I've got lots of pictures from that, I just have to get them from my camera to the computer, so check back tomorrow night, or maybe even WWednesday morning for more! TTFN!
