. VG .: Weird Saturday

Yesterday was a bit of a weird Saturday. The kids started their new session in swim, which is now a pike/eel class and it's on a different day. While they did that I took Norah and did some errands. Got some stuff to do a craft with Jane's kids as a surprise Mother's Day gift. :) After that, I gave Dude a quick hair cut and then Gaetan took off to his mother's house to pick up a treadmill for Jane and I got the kids in the tub. It was going well for awhile until Norah decided she wanted everything the crazies had and would shriek if she couldn't get at it... and I'm not exaggerating, she shrieks. She is SO LOUD... and isn't afraid to show her displeasure. After the ringing stopped I got the kids out of the tub and ready for naps. It was very clear that they all needed to be resting in some sort of capacity, and I needed some quiet myself. Norah went to sleep right away and Lucy only came out of her room once. I didn't hear Dude reading to Hippo (which I usually do) and then I knew that they were all actually sleeping. So, I took that opportunity to eat some lunch and make rice pudding. I had to go and wake the kids up because it was getting later than I wanted them to nap... part of me just wanted to let them sleep until they woke up, but then I knew if I did it was going to be a struggle to put them to bed, so I begrudgingly got them up. Gaetan still wasn't home yet, so I fed the kids a quick snack and then we went out to play. We really couldn't do a whole lot inside because we had to take out all the car seats and then all of their car seats... so it was a bit congested... not to mention the double stroller! But, the weather was beautiful out and we actually got the bikes and go kart out. We doodled a little bit with some chalk and then blew bubbles. We eventually went inside so that I could get dinner started. The Mins were coming over for dinner after Gaetan delivered the treadmill... and I had also found out that i was going to the concert too! Fun! So, after the Mins got here Jane and I quickly scarfed down some dinner and headed out. The guys stayed and played hard with the kids until they melted down around 9:30. They did get the craft part done which was awesome timing! It sounds like everybody had a great end to a busy Saturday. :)
