Where have I been??

Yes, I know, I haven't posted in a bit but, will do a quickie entry now. Summer has been fab thus far...
> Girls weekend at Sauble Beach with Barb, cousin Kym Hall and Sparkling Sue. It was fun, to just chillax and not have to worry about anyone but me! We had some yummy meals, perused the shops, read magazines, suntanned a bit (loved Sue's tan er, burn)...good times.

> I had a weeks vacation after the July 1 holiday. E and I went up to the cottage with mom. We went to Santa's Village one day. E just loved it. It is such a great place to take kids. His favourite was the train, of course. His love of trains is in his genes his father (CN) and his great grandpa mills (CP). We saw Santa in his "summer outfit" and E was amazed when we saw Mrs. Claus in the bathroom. "why she in there? well, even Mrs. Claus has to go tinkle". We had fun swimming, jumping off the dock, playing in the lake and sand, going on "adventures" etc.

> This coming weekend I have the cottage to myself and E is with his dad. My friends Al, Geoff, Kerry, Julie, Nigel and Maria are coming up to the cottage so I am really looking forward to enjoying the cottage without having to look after a 3 yr old! It'll just be different! I can sit out in the sun and not have to worry he is going to wonder off! I already miss my poopie tho! :( Yesterday, I was rushing to get him ready for school and he put his hands on his hips and said "mommy, be patient". er, ok. So, I waited a mintue and said , ok can we go now? and he said, yes. Wow. Unbelievable! too cute! but, wow.

I will report back Monday to tell all the funness of the weekend and try to get some pics up from the cottage!

Sounds like you have had a great summer so far. Nice that you had a couple wkends for just yourself!Jenn and Kristi are envious!
We had a great 4th and also b'day party for Jon. The five little ones were the hit of the party....they were all so good....they LOVE a party!! Was a fun time....did miss all you guys tho!
We spent last wkend with K and kids at the lake and then headed home on Sun. Talk about a perfect lake wkend. Heat index up to 103....but perfect for sitting in the water and soaking up the sun. Even had little Mattie in the water with life vest sitting on my lap as I floated in the chair.....halfway into the swim Mattie was leaning over the side and putting his whole face in the water. He is getting so cute. He says MaaMaa, DaDa, Nana, byebye. He is crawling everywhere and pulling up on EVERTHING!!! He is one busy little fella.
Mikey has gotten another tooth and is cranky to prove it. Jenn came over on Sun night to ck his ears. She said she wanted to make sure it wasn't an ear infection....he isn't really a cranky baby....MR SMILEY!
Well gotta run.....love the pics of Mr E Love Aunti B Thanks for "sticking up" for me on the blog....you were awsome
