Just call me "Soccer Mom"

Last week was a write-off. I cleaned the first half of the week and then caught a stomach bug on Thursday. Good news is that I went shopping Wednesday night.

Friday, after supper, we headed to F'ton for the weekend. Gary still had a couple of free hotel room passes so we decided to use em. I was quite surprised at how well the girls calmed down considering how excited they were. They were actually asleep by 9:00pm.

Darrelyn woke up around 7 on Saturday morning. She was really excited to go have breakfast. Why was she so excited? Because, "I get to pick any cereal I want!" Yup, that's right, she gets to pick sugary goodness that is froot loops. Gary took Darrelyn to have breakfast, while I showered and Breanna slept. He even brought me back a coffee and bagel. Bre woke up shortly after they returned and we all got dressed to meet with Dan and Yvonne for Brunch.

We had brunch at Bruno's. They have a waffle/omelette buffet that is awesome. The girls eat free and love the fresh fruit. I dove into the sausages... I know great choice considering my tummy problems... and Gary loved the omelette. It was really nice to chat with our friends and catch up on stuff.

Next we went to WalMart to pick out a birthday gift for one of Darrelyn's class-mates. Darrelyn didn't want to pick something out if she couldn't have anything. So Breanna came in to the store instead. She picked out a lovely gift.

Then, it was back to the hotel. Breanna had a bath and Darrelyn watched cartoons. The girls put on their pretty dresses (supposed to be for Easter) and we headed to my Aunt's 65th birthday party. It was awesome!

After her party, we went to Chapter's, of course. We really need a Chapter's in Saint John. The girls each picked out a book and Gary picked out two books. I'm still doing good with what I have.

Gary and Breanna were tired, so I dropped them off at the Hotel and Darrelyn and I headed out to my cousin's house. Darrelyn had a blast playing with his children and I enjoyed catching up with everyone. We left around 9pm and Darrelyn was asleep within 5 minutes of hitting the road. I brought her back to the hotel and then went back out to get Gary a Veggie Sub. Yes, I know, I'm a wonderful wife!

This morning, we got up and dressed and went to breakfast. Who do we see, but one of our neighbours. We laughed that we live on the same street and have to go to F'ton to see each other.

We drove home after breakfast and arrived just before 11. I fed the girls an early lunch while Gary cleaned up the house (it was kind of messy since I wasn't feeling well when we left) Then I dug out some shorts and a t-shirt for Bre and we headed to Soccer.

She had a great time. She bounced the ball off her head. Kicked the ball in the net and stopped the ball from going in the net. I happen to think she has a real talent Oh! This, officially, makes me a "soccer mom"

When I got home, I threw some laundry on and got to work on wrapping Darrelyn's friend's present. Breanna helped me wrap it. Yes, that's right, Breanna... not Darrelyn *sigh*. Then I made Darrelyn help me make the card. She did all the printing and then was exhausted. 'Cause, you know, "Happy Birthday *****, From Darrelyn" is a lot to ask *double sigh* Then Darrelyn got ready and we headed out.

The birthday party was good. Darrelyn's friend's mother is the younger sister of one of my friends from elementary/junior high. It was neat to see her again and catch up. I also had a chance to chat with another mom that I see at the school. Another great thing about the party was that they knew Darrelyn had a little sister and made a grab bag for Breanna too. Bre was sooo happy and I must say it was well deserved! Go, go Karma!

When we got home, I worked on laundry (it suffered last week) and fed the girls. As for the rest of the night. I plan to relax.
