Thursday

Wow. Only 5 days left. I know it sounds cliche but TIME FLEW!

Last night as Mom and I were busy in the basement we had some surprise company.

From the left: Cameron, Mom, Steven, Sydney, Erika and Charlotte.

We sat and chatted it up for awhile and then the kids went home with Steven to play Guitar Hero at his house. Colleen showed up a few minutes later and we went to the mall to try and find her something to wear (that wasnt white or brown). No luck. Afterwards we stopped at Jungle Jim's for a bite.

Tomorrow is my youngests 11th birthday. She'll be getting Guitar Hero for her DS, a watch, a vest she wanted and assorted other goodies. We're picking up her cake today.

With the big sale on Saturday I was worried that we wouldnt be able to finish sorting by then.  So this morning I cracked the whip and by 11 am we were done. I'm posting signs today and will start pricing stuff tonight.  Tomorrow we build tables and fix up the yard.  I may not get to post again till this weekend.

 

2sDay

Well, its Tuesday and cold and overcast. Bah.

On Sunday we visited Chester. The camp we stopped at was on a lake and owned by a friend of Moms. It was a perfect day and we enjoyed it for the most part.

In front of the Mammoth.

The Camp. Thank you Gail Short.

Avery swimming.

Mom in all her glory! I couldnt believe she actually let me take her picture in a bathing suit.

The girls.

I had a few pictures that they took of me but I wasnt happy with any of them so they get the authors veto. Hehe.

We didnt get back home until about 10 pm, what a friggin drive. Grueling.

My alumni party was on Sunday as well. Lets just say I only stayed for about 4 minutes.  Everyone there was from the 50's and 60's.......Gordon was right, I shouldnt have bothered. Oh well.

With only a week left, Mom is starting to panic.  She is already upset about the yard sale and I think the thought of us leaving soon after is making her crazy.

So today will be another indoor day because of the crappy weather. Oh joy of joys.

Blurb.

Hi yall.  I havent gotten around to fixing up the pics from yesterdays outing. Sawwwy. Maybe tomorrow.

Today is ugly and its supposed to rain. The kids and i are heading to Moncton to just fart around. Thats about it really. I'll probably do a longer, more detailed post tomorrow.

 

Surprise Saturday

Yesterday afternoon @ Lions Park.

This morning we decided to do something (since we havent done ANYTHING fun in weeks) so I drove us out to Joggins.

The guy who does all the carvings in town lives in Joggins.  He has a few pieces in his yard.

When I used to visit the fossil cliffs of Joggins as a kid, I remember a steep dirt path down to the beach.  The wind was always crazy strong and it was foggy.  We used to be able to just root around in the cliffs and find fossils to take home (I have one large fossil at home, I think its in the garden). But now, big NO-NO. They have built a state-of-the-art museum next to the cliffs and absolutely no one can root for or take fossils anymore. We paid $20 for family of 3.

This glass plate freaked Avery out. We had to coax him onto it.

Looking up to the cliffs from the water.

On the way back to Amherst we stopped at a site they have to watch the Tidal Bore. We were there at the wrong time, it takes place 2 hours before high tide. Oh well.

We got home around 11 am and now are making our daily stop at the library. Exciting huh?!

I'm not sure if we're still going to Chester tomorrow. I'm at the mercy of the dog sitter unfortunately.
