A Rainy Day

At the moment I am being serenaded by a marching band. Drums (tea tupper and spatulas) and a whistling straw!  

Ok that is as far as I got! Couldn't think and Georgia has been a BEAR! Today is dreary, windy, cold, and rainy! Was perfect for sleeping in! My goals for the day are writing this, getting laundry done (Kelly was scrounging for clothes this morning), and get supper made for Russ. Sounds doable right?!

Last weekend Kelly went with Russ, Nelson, Mikey, and Nate to Edmonton to check out the Richy Brother's Auction. They rented a plane and flew to Hudson Bay, SK to pick up Nate and drop off Alisa and baby Jace. Then on to have their 'Man Party'. I think they enjoyed themselves! Wanda, Tamara, Tiff, Melissa, myself, and kiddos spent Saturday at Russ's pool. It was very relaxing! Did a lot of snacking and sitting in the hot tub! We did have a good supper of Sweet Onion Chicken Sandwiches and veggies. Then after supper Tamara called one of her friends to see if she would make coffee drinks for us! They tasted really good with our ice cream and raspberry sauce! Wanda also got a call that our chickens were ready to be picked up and must be picked up right away. What?! They said 2 weeks! She convinced them to keep them until Sunday. So the boys went home with her for night after the pool party and went along to pick up chickens in the morning. Now Wanda is keeping mine until we get the coop finished. 

Speaking of the coop. The walls are up. We'll have to insulate in fall. Now just need get a roost and some nesting boxes put up! This is a long weekend coming up, so hopefully it can all get done then! Our cat and dog still are not friends. The cat has started living at the neighbors. Their grandchildren love it have renamed it Cheetah. The boys still go over and get it sometimes, and she lives happily over here for a few days until Chocco gets too close and she has to leave again. We're hoping for some kittens soon, so hopefully we can convince Chocco to just ignore all cats! 

I planted some seeds in egg cartons, and they are starting to sprout! Now if it would just warm up for once so we could actually start planting things outside!! I do have perennials coming up, so that's exciting! I want to plant a little garden for the boys to work in. LOL! Also we want to plant some trees this year so.... I'm guessing flowers might be a little sparse this year! They're SO expensive up here! You can spend a few hundred dollars in know time just to have them last for 4 months! Maybe one day I'll get a greenhouse and can start more of my own. 

Well this seems really long and boring. I guess we've haven't been doing anything too exciting! The kids did go to a paramedic friends (Bonnie)place to play on her play structure one afternoon. Oh and I did start a rug project that I need to finish some day! We also booked for sure 2 or maybe 3 weekends of camping, so we're excited about that!

Ok hopefully next time there's more exciting things happening!
