Charity events, Trade shows and lots of time with the kids!

Saturday was a great adventure as we headed to Medicine hat for a moms and kids fall trade show. We arrived to see a horse bucking a little girl off it's back so decided against the boys having a pony ride.We went tot he petting zoo instead where Ethan found a love for baby kittens and Caleb an admiration for pigs. The boys got their faces painted (both as dogs) and enjoyed a mini photoshoot with a local photographer (honestly I think I could have done better). We were going to get the
boys hair cut but the dresser was HORRIBLE to the girl who was getting her hair cut telling her to suck it up and stop being a baby because she was crying due to this lasses hair brushing abilities. Anyways th girls mother never said anything and it wasn't my place so I left fast before my mouth said what I was thinking. We decided to go somewhere new for a walk and ended up at the ice rink in Medicine hat, there we followed a very cute path where the trees winded us corner to corner until we hit a little park where the kids, Andy and I played for a few hours before doing some shopping and heading home. That night I got the honor of babysitting a friends little girls, I was a bit nervous about this one as they are both a bit older then the boys, but was shocked and amazed by how amazingly well behaved these girls are. Bedtime no fights, no arguments, no goofing around or excuses to stay up that few minutes longer. They just went and not a peep. *Note to self get parenting tips off

Day 2 Sunday now today was a busy day! The boys and I spent the morning jumping on the trampoline, bowling in the garden, playing basketball and roller skating! Yes yes if that was not enough I was no where close to being physed up!




I headed down to the gym for BFBS charity knock out. I was on team red and was not prepaired AT ALL for what the day had in store for me! We started out with a game of inflatable twister which was fun and actually quiiet easy.

Next we were straight into a more enduring basket ball challenge where a bungree cord pulled us back well we tried to make a basket. Suprisingly I did VERY well at this :D

We were then rushed off to Sumo wrestling where must brag I took down a Really big really strong army lass! I never expected it but I did! We did boxing next which I did ok at but felt I did horrible.


next was jousting and wow I will not be doing that again! I was up against the same lass who I took out sumo wrestling and she came at me with vengance. I won 2 rounds then she hit me, 1 massive blow to the head. Now yes this is what I call a knock out.


Next was the final challenge thankfully and I was drained! We had to do a obstacule coarse then some bowling (thank goodness for morning practise). Made it through and thankfully the challenge was over.

Came home to a lovely roast dinner and a movie night with the boys, before relaxing to writing this and watching Grys annatomy (wow the final of season 5 is mad).
