Grocery shopping

whoever thinks grocery shopping is boring should probably go with kids in tow. I went this morning for the first time in a while by myself with the two boys. They are usually pretty good. They just get bored and want to buy everything so it usually end sup being a bigger grocery order when the little ones and hubby are with me.

That's why I usually try going by myself. This week though hubby is working earlier and later so I figure I'd try and make his life a little easier by going to get what we need with the boys so his time at home would be more relaxing.

It ended up being alright because the grocery store I went o had one of those carts with the cars in it..... it would have been funny for anyone watching me because I would have not been too impressed if someone had gotten to it before me, it was a life saver today :) It worked well I couldeven blame the driving of the cart on them :P

It's funny how people either look at you totally annoyed or they look at you going you poor lady what are you putting yourself through. Most of the times I'm pretty good to take things in stride oh yeah, did I mention I use bribes.... oh yeah at the end if they were good listeners they get to choose a treat. Today they got one because they were super duper good :) They choose the most sugary treat possible I think it was a lollipop with some kind of sour liquid (aka red food coloring).... to put on top.... ANYWAYS they are just allowed to have their treat in the car so they patiently waited through checkout and getting everyone in and buckled and then they got their treat... quietest ride home in a while... they were just chatting about how good it was. I know I will pay for it later in the hyperness but sometimes it works and it's easier to handle the chaos at home than in public.... All the moms who have little ones or have had little ones know what I mean :) Hey don't feel guilty either !!!!

Oh yeah they are now watching spongebob squarepants... I love spongebob :)

bye for now.

Been away

It's been a great summer with ok weather. we've been so busy. I've also been job searching and actually will be working in the fall. I love to knit so I've been working on some projects!!

Been home to cheticamp awesome to visit family and friends and actually go to the beach althou it was too cold to swim... the water was not the temperatures. Boys are growing up so fast and Alexandre is so excited to start preprimary :) I hope th enthusiasm keeps going for a while.

Connor is going to start daycare... I'm so nervous about that. I've always stayed home with them and it drives me a little crazy to think that someone else would be putting him down for a nap :( I know he'll be fine I know all the ladies who work there and I worked there myself for years so I'm very confident that he will be well cared for and he will learn lots of new and exciting things but as a mom it's scary to entrust your child to someone else.

You may wonder why I'm not worried about Alexandre, well that is because I will be one of his teachers LOL. I know he'll be ok the thing I'm most worried about him is getting him up in the morning.... it's 8:35 am and he's still snoozing so there's my challenge with him.... earlier to bed doesn't even help he loves his sleep :) :) Connor on the other hand is always up at 7 am. So we never sleep in :)

This morning I heard connor stir at 5:15 am I was like oh no but thankfully he put himself back to sleep :)
Until tomorrow... hopefully!! I will get in a routine, get in a routine... hey it worked for the little engine that could right?

until next time,
Amy

cloudy Saturday

Today was one of those cloudy days when your not quite sure if it's going to rain or not.... one minute yes the other maybe not.

Those days are tough on parents I find because you want to take the kids outside but your not sure if as soon as you get out you'll have to drag in some kids who want to stay out in the rain.... don, they love the rain, the puddles and the mud. I know mine do. The messier they can get the better they like it.

Today was one of those days instead of going out e snuggled in watched a movie and then played cards kids were happy and we as parents did not have the stress of the should we shouldn't we... we just gave in and say for today let's just not even go there. Now this evening both kids are tucked in their bed as happy as can be having spent the day just relaxing with Mommy and Daddy.

Good day!! no Great DAY!!
