First day.. new school..

Jarrets first day of school was today. He was a bit nervous this morning but not too bad. We drove him today cause its his first day in a new school.. plus he's not on the school bus list yet. Once we got there he got a bit more nervous. We found his class finally they were all lined up outside. He was the last kid in line. He was hanging out beside me and George and Amy.. I tried to get him in line but he wouldnt budge. His teacher came and took his hand and brought him to the front of the line with him. Poor Jarret he was ringing his hands and when we were about to leave he asked why we wernt coming in with him. He was with the teacher once we left though. So as tradition I started to cry once we were on our way back to the car.. lol.. geez I'm a suck. I think I would have been ok if he was ok. George just laughed and rubbed my back and said he would be fine. So now I am sitting here fretting. I just want to hear out of his mouth that it went well.. I cant wait until 3:30!!

Went to the ex last night just to walk around and for something to do. We were there for about 10 min when this woman and her friend walked up to me with 2 stuffed Panda Bears and said they just won them and didn't have any kids to give them to and do your kids want them. How nice was that? We stayed for the fireworks just as they were about to start it started to rain. We stood in the rain and watched the fireworks. The kids didn't seem to mind.

Not much more to add.. just chilling out this weekend. I still have to arrange school for Jarret but cant do anything until next week. Talk about cutting it close. But that's what I do best! Have a great weekend everyone!!

The kids loved the rides. They both went on an "adult" ride with George. I didnt go on it cause I was too scared..lol. They are brave!!

We got to touch and feed deer!! That was pretty cool.

We are leaving Sunday early early for Toronto! We are going through the States.. first stop Mall Of America! Then off to Chicago.. then up to Niagra Falls and on to our new home. I am looking forward to the trip. This would be our first family holiday. Cant wait. I am a little scared.. but I think I am more excited than anything. Saying goodbye to the family wasnt fun on Wednesday. I am already homesick. I will miss everyone!! Love you guys so much.

Poem

Before you head east, way out yonder
Here are some things for you to ponder
This poem not once did I rehearse
The one about you moving to the "Centre of the Universe"
Opportunity knocks, and you must fly
Before it all passes you by
Who will I call ten times a day?
I know, I know, you'll only be four hundred dollars away
Thanks to technology, we can stay in touch
The distance between us will only feel like this much
The fun you'll have will be like out of a book
And when you see him, say "Hi" to Dan Cook
The concerts, the games, you'll be living the life
You'll be the envy of Kenny's wife
Who's going to make fun of my poker style?
No one to laugh when I have chips in my pile
I still don't understand how to play that game
But the times we did were fun just the same
The kids have become so darn close
It's the family times we'll miss the most
But we'll save and we'll save and we'll plan and we'll plan
So we can take them all to Canada's Wonderland
Jenn, I'll call as much as I can
Because, you know, I'm your biggest fan
Jeffery, Jeffery, you're one of a kind
I'll keep you as my brother in law if you don't mind
Jarret and Amy, well what can I say?
Those two little beauties brighten anyone's day
We all wish you well, good fortune and luck
But please don't cheer when the Leafs have the puck
So long, farewell, it's not the end
It's the start of a new life, a new job, and new friends


Wow.. what an awesome poem. I will post pictures from last night later. I just wanted to put the poem on here. Thank you so much for that Char. Thank you and Kenny both for an awesome party for me and George!! I had so much fun. I will always remember last night. I also want to thank you and Kenny for being so supportive these last few months!! You dont know what that means to me!!

So we are moving to TO! I'm sure everyone is aware of that. We have 15 days until we leave. I am excited but sad at the same time. This is a great opportunity for George and for us. Its a new adventure for us. I feel like we are going to be grown ups for once. I feel sometimes we are playing house. I am already getting home sick and I just started packing today. I am so close to my family and the closer it gets the more sad I get. I dread saying goodbye to everyone. I am going to miss everyone so very very much. Ok.. I have to stop now I am getting sad.. there will be plenty of time for that in 2 weeks.

We are driving out to TO. I think we are going through the States. Stopping in Minneapolis, then Chicago. We are hoping to spend some time in each city. I have never been to Chicago. It should be fun. This is our first family vacation. I think the kids will have a blast. I know we will. I am going to post some pictures of what we did the past few days. We were at my moms and her apartment has a swimming pool. So we went swimming a few times. Unfortunately Jake couldnt be there.. he was at daycare. Maybe we can all go before we move.

How Stressed Are You?

You Are Chinese Food

Exotic yet ordinary.People think they've had enough of you, but they're back for more in an hour.

Some pictures from this past weekend

Poor Jarret.. he fell face first off a swing!
Jake,Amy and Jarret watching Treehouse while their parents were playing Texas Hold'em!
Happy 30th bday Tim. Looks like he had a good time.
Bev and Kevin doing Karaoke at Tims party!! They rocked!!

We had a good weekend. Jarret is ok now.. he was pretty upset about his fall. Dont blame him, it looks like it hurt. Tims party was fun. We didnt get there until about midnight cause I had to work. We made up for it though, got home when the sun was coming up. I havent done that in a long time. I am pretty tired today though. I need a nap, we will see if Amy will let me take one today..

Lata Skata

Its been a while. These pictures are from Jarrets school picnic last week.. it was fun having the kids there.. we were missing on big though.. Kelsey!! That girl is the busiest 11 year old I have ever met.. never mind 11 year old .. but more of a social life than most adults I know. I will have to get a really good updated picture of her and post it.. she is soooo beautiful.. I love that girl!! All the kids in our family are amazing kids!! They are all polite and funny. Some of the stuff that comes out of their mouths puts me in stitches.

I got a new hair do! Its very short. I like it though. I will post pictures tomorrow.. blogger isnt agreeing with me again..

Good luck today Char!

I know I called you last night to wish you luck with your new job today but I wanted to post it!! So... good luck today!! I know you will do great and get through the first day. I want all the details as soon as we can touch base. It's going to feel like we will never talk anymore with our shifts being so opposite!

Well not too much to report. I have some good news but I dont want to post it until I let some people know for myself. I would hate to cause any problems with posting it then someone finding out when they read it.

We are having some nice weather lately and loving it!! Hope everyone has a great day..

Lata Skata

ps.. Why wont Blogger let me post pictures?? Someone answer that please!!
