Change of Plans

We ended up with a big change of plans... the inspector started out this morning but the roads were so bad that he turned around and went home.  When we found that out, my parents asked if we wanted to go to Calgary with them for Will's birthday party!  We gathered up our swimsuits and headed to Calgary.  Thankfully, the roads to Calgary weren't too bad.  We met them at the Village Square Leisure Center to go swimming and everyone had a blast!  I wish I'd got some pictures, but I locked it in my locker.

After swimming, we headed to Dave & Nysha's and had pizza and Will opened presents.  The kids had so much fun playing together.  They don't get to see these cousins very often, so it was great to spend some time with them.

 Will gave the kids goodie bags that had mustaches in them. 

 It was such a fun day!

Inspection Preparations

The pre-cover inspection for the airplane is tomorrow so we spent a bunch of time at the airport taking pieces off the wall where they've been stored and getting them all layed out and ready to be looked at.  Lennard is pretty excited for this next step in the building process and we both hope it goes well tomorrow!

(F)amily (H)angar (E)vening

I got called in to work at the school for the first time today!  Initially it was for the afternoon and then within a short time I got another phone call to see if I could come in the morning for a different EA.  I ended up being in Grade 1 and Grade 3 in the morning and then kindergarten (one-on-one) for the afternoon. I'm also booked to sub in the afternoons tomorrow and Wednesday.

For FHE tonight, Lennard took the kids flying!  They've been asking for months and months and finally the weather (and everything else) cooperated.  They had a blast... and so did Lennard!

Date Night

We went on a date tonight!  My parents took the kids for a sleepover and we went to Lethbridge with our friends to the Great Escape again.  We did "The Reentry" room and were so close to getting out.  We went out to dinner at Moxie's afterwards. 

I feel so blessed to have such good friends.  We needed this night out. 

New Sink

Ben had a playdate right after school at his friend's house (Nolan) which worked out well, since Emma had a doctor's appointment.  I was hoping we'd get in and out quickly, but it didn't happen!  I ended up having to have Lennard come switch me off so that I could get to my interview at with the School Division.  No sooner had I left than the doctor finally came (of course).  

My interview went well... and I was hired on the spot.  I left a blank cheque with them and now I just wait to get called to come in and sub!

We've been talking about putting in a new sink in our trailer for a while now.  I found one on-line that I was pretty sure would work, so I ordered it and it arrived today.  The box was so huge that I really had second thoughts about my measurements!  Ha! Ha!

 Thankfully it will work! The only part I didn't really realize was that we had to cut the hole larger at the back than I'd thought.

 We got it all measured out and Lennard cut the countertop so the sink would fit in properly.

We'd bought a new faucet at IKEA and got it installed too.  I love that I now have one large sink instead of two smaller sinks that I could get a pot or a pan into.

This is the old sink (I didn't get a before picture).  It's just plastic and somehow a hot pan had got put into it and melted a bit of it.  I'm excited to have the larger sink! We still have to hook up the plumbing underneath since we had to re-do a bunch of it, but it looks so much better!

 The kids had fun playing with all the snow at the airport while we worked on the trailer. 

 I had to laugh when they thought they could use the huge chunks of snow for snowballs (I did stop her from throwing it at Ben...)

Happy Birthday

We had a family dinner in Lethbridge this afternoon.  It is Brendan's (21st) and Mindy's (38th) birthday's today!  It was fun to sit and visit with those who could come and the kids had fun playing with their cousins.

Daddy-Daughter

I love seeing how much Emma loves her daddy.  She has been in to 'doing her makup' lately and thought it was hilarious when she left lipstick lips on Lennard's cheek.  Sure do love these two!
