My Little Man
My little man is growing up. He's going to be 5 in november which means he's going to be in school for 5 days aweek. He's my last baby and this is the start of when they pull away. He's not going to be around me 24/7; he's not going to be asking me for help; or looking at me for comfort every time he needs it. Faith was going to school I thought YES! When the twins went to school I thought YES! When Nathan goes to school I think NO! This really is an end of one chapter in my life and the start of a new one. Dustin's hounding me about a job, which won't be easy to come by, because of the holidays, inservice and sick days the kids will have once school starts. Not to mention summer holidays. YUCKS! see what I mean about opening a new chapter. Things are a-changing and not always for the better.

Cottage
Our cottage is coming along so well. Dustin is doing an awesome job. I finally got the kids up there to see it. Clayton kept saying "I want to go back tomorrow" I'm like "I'm not driving all this way home just to turn around again". He was not happy with me about that lol.
The kids had so much fun, frog, snakes, and sand; what more can they ask for? We roasted marshmallows on the fire and had some s'mores. The boys of course got foam insulation all over their hands... boys will be boys. I can't wait to stay up there and take the kids for a boat ride.
It's so quiet and peaceful, except for the kid across the street how was riding their mini quad up and down the street. The dogs were covered with flies and barked alot cause they weren't near me.
All in all it was a good day and can't wait for many more.

Selkirk Dodge Dealership: My New Van!
So as most of you know I got into a car accident just over a month ago. Through no fault of my own a Bison semi changed lanes and altered our summer and not for the better. We were without a family vehicle for 1 month. Which let me tell you SUCKS! No more beach, no more summer activities until we settled with MPI. MPI is a whole nuther discussion which I won't get into cause it still makes me angry. Anyways we finally settled for less then what we wanted but at least it was more then they offered.
So I got a new dodge caravan. I actually got the color I wanted... mango-tango. Which I'm so pleased with. I haven't picked a color of vehicle since two vehicles ago when the only color was red or white. This color was super hard to find with all the options we wanted. We could have found one with less options, but Dustin wasn't willing to do that. He kept telling me "I found a grey one, I found a blue one." He's like "what alternative color do you want?" I was like "if we've exhausted our search then I'll tell you, otherwise I'm not saying because you'll be like well this is the only color I can find." I'm so happy I stuck to my guns and got the color I wanted.
I've had it about a week and I went to a parking lot and I could pick out my van from all the other ones. You have no idea how many times I've tried to get into other people vehicles.
So my new van has a gps, usb, and blue tooth, mind you I don't have a usb port to plug in, nor a cell phone lol, but the options are there lol. I've already plunked in a few of our favorite hot spots into the gps, just cause it's fun lol.
If you are ever in need of a vehicle don't use the city dealers, go to Selkirk dodge dealer. We bought a few vehicles from him and he couldn't be nicer. He was willing to search and work with us and not make us pay a non-refundable down payment. He actually found my van and had it shipped to him before we even agreed to buy from him. But as soon as he did, we dropped everything to go and get it. He remembered us from 7 years ago when we bought our other van. How awesome is that?
Anyways I know your all waiting to see a picture of it so here it is:
Isn't it pretty?

Saturday
Today was a kinda busy kinda lazy day. With being home with the kids yet again all by myself, while Dustin goes to the cottage to finish building it.
I got the kids up this morning and told them to wear something nice. We went to the local green space and I snapped a couple pictures of them. Faith is getting to be good at ideas for pictures and of course she's super helpful with getting the kids to do what I want them too.
There were a few yells, a couple of tears, some bribing, but lots of smiles in the end. Here are a few of my favorite shots.
