Spring break

Well it's that time of year again. Spring break... with kids spring break is not the "go to the states and drink break" that it is made out to be on tv.

I haven't signed the kids up for any thing this week. I feel kids should be kids, we spent the morning outside walking. Mind you it wasn't the best walk ever. 4 kids and a puppy do not make for a pleasant walking experience. But it can only get better right??? right? please lord let it get better.

A friend of mine was at the park and we were in the forest next to the park... she said "yeah I heard someone yelling and thought of it must be Tenille" ha ha. I was very frustrated.

So this week if the weather holds and it doesn't get really cold we will be out walking everyday. This dog is going to learn to walk and ignore the kids.

Time to go... someone won't stay out of the bathroom.

Spring break only lasts a week right?

Vet and weekend stuff

Today was vet day. All in all it went very well. But from now on I think I'm going to schedule it when the kids are in school. Thank god it's a small vet hospital and the kids could walk around. They were very fascinated with the garbage can that looked like a polar bear.

Aero did very well and although his ears are dirty there are no concerns. AND NO HE IS NOT FAT! A couple friends think he's fat, but he's a really good size and the vet said he might just be a stockier dog.

I went to a social on saturday night. I haven't been out like that for a bit, had a couple of drinks and felt really tired all sunday. I only really danced once and my knees were so sore. God getting old sucks.

Well since it's spring and the annual flooding is taking place, just like every other year. They are now saying that the flooding is going to be worse then it was in '97. "Oh yeah the flood of the century it will never happen again." that's what all the experts said back then good thing they built a new flood way.

that's it that's all for today see ya

Finally

After more then 4 years I get to see my mom this summer. Although I have been promising her this for a couple of summers now, Dustin has finally said yes.

So I called her yesterday, After the terrible month she had this is really good news for her. I'm super excited. If you've done the math then you know I haven't seen her since Aug'04. My kids were born in 'june 01, sept '04 and Nov '06. So yeah she had only meet one of my kids.

Then she said that my youngest brother is coming along too. Although he's buying he's own plane ticket. It has been way to many years since we've all been together. Lets see....'99. I believe is the last time all of us have seen each other at the same time. Everyone will be there except my dad. I haven't seen my dad since Faith was 6 months old.

This is a huge deal for me and I'm really excited. Although now that Chris is coming we don't have room in our van to drive to my brother's place in AB. So hopefully his family can make it here. I'm super excited!! Now I just have to plan on how I'm going to fit 8 kids and 6 adults into my small house.

BOOYA! this is going to be great!

Kindergarten

Wow I can't believe that my babies are starting kindergarten in the fall. Last week I signed them up. I found out that there are going to be two classes next year. Wow for an all french school in a small area of the city, that is alot of kids. The school is going to have to add on more additions.

So the question becomes to separate them or keep them together. Normally schools like to separate them. I get a twins magazine from the states. There are moms in there fighting legislation to make it parents choice. I never really gave it much thought, being as our kids go to a small school.

But I really pushed Dustin to agree to separation. I think it will be good for them. Right now they always do everything together. I think getting their own friends, peers and experiences is what's best for them. They will not always be separate at some point during middle school or high school they will share classes together. But I'm sure at that point they won't like each other lol.

I really hope the school follows my lead in this and if not; well; then I'll just push and bug them to get what I want... not like I've never done that before lol.
