We are home for four long days before leaving our family for three weeks!!! So Zoe will be celebrating her birthday this weekend even though her birthday is the next one. At the daycare tomorrow a clown will come visit the kids and I just know how Zoe will love it. We will make this a party all weekend kinda thing. A friend from work talked about how he was coming home the night before everyone else is leaving. The ride by car is 10 hours plus all the stops people in a car make. Instead of leaving the friday morning and wasting a day on the road, we shall leave on the thursday night by bus and sleep through the ride home and be here friday morning as the others from work start their trip back home. You have NO idea how happy I am about this new plan. Our boss already knows that we will travel by bus and he will make sure we get a ride to the bus stop in time for our bus. Yes I know it's not a lot more time home but it's a day more with the kids and I am sure we will all appreciate that! :)
Last night as we were riding in our truck for the five hours to get home, I learn how to make starts using straws! It is pretty easy even though I'm still new at this. My 'teacher' said I caught on quite quickly too. LOL! I need to go to the Chinatown today and get more of these folding straws. Hopefully these will keep me busy while traveling and away from home. I try knitting but have lost a bit of interest in it. Most likely because summer is coming along and that I don't really knit much for myself. I do hope we will find the time to stop by a few yarn stores in the maritimes.
Time for pancakes! :)
