another busy day…

have really been enjoying the drive through the Park each morning as we go to and from the zoo for camp… wonderful relaxing way to start the day…

our supper plan was a frozen pizza, followed by a delicious dessert pizza… our various descriptions included: smells like s’mores; looks like a giant chocolate chip cookie; tastes like hot chocolate… yum… we did discuss that the whole pizza was 880 calories which was why I had a single slice… might just be getting a few of these to have on hand in the freezer;-)…

the older one ran out to the gas bar to pick up some milk for tomorrow’s breakfast and came across this bunny when he returned… clever boy circled around and came in to get me to go out and see it;-)…

great news… the youngest did go to camp and had a great time… I was a bit worried about whether he would actually get there…

he hadn’t been to camp before and had a poor night’s sleep… maybe worrying about it…

got up and got his bag packed with lunch, two snacks and a water bottle in addition to rain gear and a change of clothes… had a bit of trouble getting the bag closed, lol…

spent a few minutes relaxing before taking him over to the Park…

dropped him off at the very beginning of the check-in time and he went in, a bit tentative but he went through the gate…

kept my phone close all day long, but he clearly enjoyed himself and there were no calls…

when I picked him up he wanted to stay longer to play soccer…

as we drove away he advised that I needed to drop him off at the exact same time tomorrow so he would have extra play time…

meanwhile the older one slept for most of the day… he did eventually get up and do the few chores on the list I’d left him… did I mention he is 13, lol…

together we decided on bits and pieces to have for supper from various meals we’ve eaten over the last few days… we also reviewed our planned meals and made a few adjustments to be sure we had all the meals covered…

tv and video games till bedtime, lol…

I think some of us are more tired than others…

WWTB day 4…

very relaxed and sunshiny day…

slept in and the boys had cereal for breakfast while I had a smoothie…

games and tv took up a good portion of their day… we also labeled items for camp and did a bit of clothing repair…

after grilled cheese for lunch, we walked over to Amherst Park where the boys played some football and we took a picture of them in the same spot where they had played on July 2nd, 2011 with Grandpa;-)…

it was lovely to watch them as they tossed and kicked the ball back and forth… I spent a bit of time on the swings, lol…

from there we walked to 7-Eleven for slurpees…

back home for more tv and games…

baths, supper and quiet time before bed…

we’ve been keeping to the menu that we made when shopping on Friday, so tonight we had lamb chops, rice, mushrooms, carrots and radishes…

looks like the rain is coming…

hope tomorrow is a nice day for Zoo camp;-)…
