The week so far...

Monday

Hunter tried Hummus, and loved it!!!

Drew had school on this day, and James, H and I spent the day around the house.  I cleaned the walls in the upstairs room that James and I are moving our bedroom to....in preparation for paint (have not picked the colour yet though).

We picked Drew up from school and headed to the Thomas book store, Starbucks for a treat and then to the dollar store for more treats.

H shopping at the Thomas book store (Indigo).

what happens when you give a baby an M&M - the new pretzel flavour...not so good!

After all of the treats, we met Nana and Papa at East Side Mario's for dinner.  We had a coupon for a free dessert and it was kids eat free night, so we made out pretty well!  The kids did a great job, and it seemed like we all had fun.  It was not relaxing in the least, but as far as dinner out with the kids go, I'd rate it as a success!!

After dinner found us upstairs in the empty room.  The boys love bringing their trucks up there and driving them back and forth.

Tuesday

At the Early Years Centre

Yesterday, I worked at Glen Williams public school in the morning.  James took the boys to the Georgetown early years centre, and then I met them at McDonald's.  We had a quick lunch and then James left for work and I stayed with the boys.

I can build my own towers now!!

It was busy today!

After a lot of playing at McDonald's (Drew and Hunter made some friends, so it was hard to drag them away).  We came home, Hunter had a nap and Drew and I made cookies.  Drew helped with the recipe until we were adding flour.  He decided to dump the flour on the counter, grab his steam roller, and played for almost an hour rolling the flour out.  He had a great time and I was impressed with myself for not getting annoyed at the mess!!!  LOL

The cookies turned out great....chocolate chip.  Yum!!

Once Hunter awoke from his nap, we headed up to Nana and Papa's for a pancake supper.  I was in charge of making the pancakes, which will probably never happen again.  While I was making them, Hunter decided to take all of the crackers out of the cupboard and dump them onto the floor.  Drew came along with his steam roller and smashed them all into the ground.  They made a huge mess, but it was so cute, who could get mad???

While all this was happening, dad was out in the barn.  He came in to a kitchen floor filled with cracker crumbs and the air filled with smoke (did I mention I was making pancakes???).  I only burned a few!

I also decided to put bananas in the pancakes, which the boys, James and I LOVE.  My parents were literally gagging when they tasted them.  I couldn't help laughing.  What a night!

                                                                   Wednesday

Drew got to make a mess yesterday, so this morning after James dropped Drew off at school, I dumped some oatmeal in Hunter's play pots and pans, just to see what he would do.  He spent the next hour emptying and filling the pans with his spoons and his hands.  Such fun!!!

This afternoon I was working at Pineview, teaching grade 2.  I got to sit with Drew in his class at lunch time.  He was thrilled and I was too....so much fun spending time with him at school (and getting paid for it too!!!).  James dropped Hunter off with my mom when it was time for him to go to work and Drew rode the bus home with Nana and Hunter after school.  We hung out there for the evening, and then we had what could only be described as the worst drive home ever.  It's been snowing/freezing rain all night, and the plows didn't seem to have come out yet.  We made it home, but I am still shaking from the drive. Oh well, both boys are sleeping and I'm blogging, so it can't be all that bad, right??
