The rains have finally stopped so my life of leisure is over. I am back outside trimming, mowing, weeding,etc. You can tell that by the absence of blog posts this week. I am having difficulty in getting everything done so blogging is the first to go.
We went on another field trip yesterday with another homeschooling family. We went to Cypress Park which is a provincial park here in SK. It is quite beautiful there. I feel like I am back home in Ontario when I go to Cypress. We had a pond dipping there. We played on the beach as our kids caught leeches (then let them go.) I have never seen leeches before. They are the neatest looking things! We played miniature golf, had some ice cream, then went on a nature hike. The park is full of trails. The kids loved exploring the woods. We even saw a few deer up close.
Soccer is just about over. Hip, hip, hooray! Tonight is the last regular game for Rocky. Monday would have been the last game for Missy but it was canceled due to storm warnings. Saturday is the end of the year tournament then it is all over for soccer for the year. I can't say that I will miss all that driving. I am looking forward to staying home a little bit more.
My infection has come back. Remember the infected bump I had on my head? Well, the surrounding area is now infected. I am back on antibiotics. If this doesn't work then I guess we go on the assumption that this might be something other than an infection. Hmmm.
The kids and I are going to the Science Centre in Regina on Sunday. We are going with some family friends. The kids are very excited about this. The last time we went, I think Mia was 5 yrs. old. So it is time to revisit. We are hoping to go to the IMAX as well, if there is a good movie playing.
Let's see, what else is popping up for the next week. We are going back to Sask Landing on Mon. to play on the beach with some friends. Mia asked to do this in lieu of a birthday day party (her birthday was on June 14th.) Tuesday, we are having some friends come over for lunch. These friends have two boys that are similar in age to my two oldest. They have never come to our house before so we might have to show them the grand sights of the creek. We have dentist appointments on Wed as well as hair appointments. Next Thursday, I am hoping to help a friend pack as they leave for Missouri at the end of the month. Then, I do believe, the craziness is over. We might actually be able to stay home for a few days at a time. That is my hope, at least.
