What's with all this rain?

As long as it's sunny skies on our houseboating trip I can live with the rain right now. Makes for long days of fort-building, playdoughing sculpting and musical chairs but we're surviving just fine. Maybe tomorrow I'll bring the bouncer inside to shake things up a bit. Ooohhhhh...

This past week was Calgary Stampede- yippeekiyay Cowgirls and Cowboys! We were party-poopers and did not go to the grounds this year but it's been crazy busy around here! We did take the dayhome kids to the Bobcat Stampede Breakfast - it was fantastic!


We also celebrated Alex's 6th birthday this past weekend. Why I thought he should make the guest list I have no idea BUT we hosted a movie party to see Ice Age 3 with Alex and 14 of his closest friends. That's right - there were 15 kids ages 4 to 7. And 3 adults. We took up 1.5 rows of seats. All things considered it was a very smooth party - no tears, no 'accidents', and there were only 3 bathroom breaks during the movie. Not too bad at all.


And just for a laugh - here's a preview of my fascinator I'll be wearing to our Ladies Night this Thursday. If you can't laugh at yourself....
