Well I am and I'm not. I have been taking a bit of a hiatus knowing that I was going to get busy real quick, so Monday and Tuesday weren't much of anything, a little bit of housework here and there but nothing substantial. Wednesday was of course Mug Up and it was here and we had a tremendous turn out. All though it probably appears chaotic to most it's such a blessing to us Mom's as well as to the kids. Thursday was the arrival of butterflies, over 120 of them, that all had to be seperated into their individual vials with food and organized by who ordered what. Everyone pitched in and it was actually done quite quickly, except we have way more than I originally ordered. Friday of course was delivery of said butterflies and in return we got some tadpoles (4) in return. This is the first time we've done tadpoles...I hope they make it, we are using swamp water from our land and there seems to be a lot of floating/living things in it including some apparently very entertaining snails. So far the tadpoles seem to be doing ok. Josh has been at a play date all day today and it turns out tonight they are going to a movie as well which has allowed me to spend some quality time with Noah. He came with me to deliver the last of the butterflies today so we stopped at a playground and just had fun all afternoon before coming home. I have to say he was on exceptionally good and patient behaviour today....he's growing up. Oh and he wanted me to teach him how to write his name. And he can read No and Yes, he can also read some numbers as we were playing cards and he identified a number of them. Well hubby is in the city working this weekend but it will allow him to have an extra, extra long weekend off next weekend (Josh's birthday). I really haven't spent ANY quality time planning anything for such a special birthday. I want to do something special on his day and then his friends and extended family celebration will be the following weekend as not many of his friends could make it the actual day of his birthday due to it being a long weekend. Anyways any special ideas on celebrating #13, I would love to hear them! It going to be a real quiet evening hear tonight with Paul and Josh both gone and Noah in bed early. I'm not really sure what to do with myself. Perhaps I'll make some special tea, put on Phantom of the Opera and spin :). See what I mean about the hiatus? Oh I do have some draft blog entries sitting for a final editing so good things are coming....just don't know when my head space will be in it. Until then enjoy the rest of the weekend and I'll try to blog again soon....I promise!
