This Week started off very busy! I started my day Sunday baking pies for Thanksgiving supper at Ed and Lori's house. I made my famous apple pie and a pumpkin pie as well. Both were very yummy!
The apple pie has a special ingredient that really sets the flavour!
R started her day with a 2 hour swim with goldfins. Almost immediately after swimming we all went to skating. O had her lesson first, followed by the other two girls. Several hours later we ventured to Grandma's and Grandpa's house for a yummy supper.
Tuesday the girls headed back to school after having a 4 day weekend. That night we joined Dad at the firehall for a fun BBQ supper. The kids played in and out of the firetrucks while T and I cooked hotdogs for the community. It was the best turnout for fire prevention's open house and quite a few years.
Wednesday R headed back to the pool for another great workout, after running a quick 1 km with school. T picked the other 2 kiddos up and took them for a tour around town in his pumper truck. It is fire prevention week and they were looking for families performing their escape plans. Unfortunately it was also snowing and cold. So not a lot of people were braving the weather. E really enjoyed getting dropped off at her Jazz class in a fire truck!
I headed to the school for a Gr 7/8 Toronto Trip fundraising meeting. Even though not a whole lot of parents showed up for the meeting we did think of some great ideas to help us earn the last few hundred dollars needed to pay for the trip. I am following through with a citrus sale as my raffle ideas really have not amounted to much. Let's hope it will be a great sale. With both girls going on the trip I still need to raise over $1500. Yikes!!
Thursday we were back at the rink with all three girls having skating lessons. It is such a long night leaving before 5pm and not home until 8 pm. Plus R had homework. :( E had a really hard night, she was feeling really left out as many of the skaters were invited to participate in a competition in Winnipeg as was not. She still needs to work on her loop and flip, 2 requirements for the competetion. To top it off she was over tired and sad because she didn't get a lesson from both of her coaches. Neither R nor E are overly excited about skating this year. I have a feeling that this might be the end of a long 10 year run in skating as both big girls are venturing into other sports/ activities. :( :( I am sure little Miss O will skate for the next 10 yrs!
Finally we have made it to Friday! We survived work (I was busy everyday this week), sports, homework, and the firehall.
R raced in her very last elementary school cross country run. She ran a very cold 3 KM run through the snow with her friend CLC. The brat decided it was a fun run and nothing more. She ran, jogged, walked, stopped, and threw snowballs! Still her team brought home the trophy! Way to Go Ravens!!
After school she headed back to the pool. She swam hard for 2 hours with her favourite coach Kallie! Kallie is all smiles and motivation as she swims along side her kiddos. R and her friends are not only becoming fabulous swimmers but are having a ton of fun at the same time.
I capped the week off with pizza and the Nascar nationwide race while the girls watched t.v downstairs. O had a blast looking at pinterest animals. I have NEVER heard her giggle so much!
It might be Friday but that sadly doesn't end the craziness in our house as I have deliveries tomorrow, T has chores, the girls have stretch class and skating. Tomorrow night we have a play and the cup race.
Wow my head hurts!
