Mama Mia

Dave came home with flowers yestereday...smart man! A dozen red roses, they are beautiful. I do love having fresh flowers on my dining room table. After the sanding fiasco this weekend...it was really in his best interest lol!

On to other things...I haven't had time to post about last Monday!! It was an awesome day. Dave and I took off to the city for the day. His sister came over and watched our kids for us and took them to their swimming lessons. We went to a new restaurant in town for lunch, it looked nice and we'd been wanting to try it for awhile. We placed our order and the food coming out of the kitchen looked great...Ours finally came, and there was a giant long hair baked into my soup!~EW~ They made me a new one which was all good and fine but we did notice when the bill came there was no attempt to compensate for the fact that there was someone else's hair cooked into my food...or that I then had to sit foodless while they made me a second order. While their bruschetta was amazing, we probably won't be heading back to eat at State and Main any time soon.

After some rigorous shopping. It was time for dinner, Yay! We went to Ricks, my favourite restaurant. It's in an old water tower and was where Dave and I went for our very first date all those years ago. We love going there, but don't often because it is quite pricey. It was nice to enjoy some adult time enjoying our food and conversation. Then it was show time! Mama Mia!! Dave has been working security at events for a few months now and enjoying it very much. This was my first time going with him. I was one of those people checking tickets at the entrance, it was lots of fun! Even better was that as long as there are no problems....which there weren't, when the lights go down you get to watch whatever show it is! I got to watch all of Mama Mia, singing along to the songs, sitting there with a stupid grin on my face the whole time. I loved it! Even better was this arena has no air conditioning, being on the floor it wasn't so bad, but seeing everyone up higher in the stands, watching all the programs being used for fans, and you know those poor people had to be dying of the heat :( Like my friend Kara said..."It's hotter than a baptist church in here!" Lol.

This Monday, as in today, was much different than last week. It was me and the kids day. We headed into Lethbridge, did some back to school shopping in the morning. Had a quick lunch at Costco. (so cost friendly!) Then drove out to Raymond to meet up with a friend of mine. We'd heard that the pool there was very family friendly and we weren't disappointed. It was so nice to see Jana and let the kids play. Unfortunately someone's kid pooped in the pool, and it got shut down. SO glad it wasn't one of my kids!! It was going to be closed for awhile so we just ended out leaving, it was pretty hot out anyway under that sun with no shade or water to play in. So we grabbed some slurpees and headed back into town for one last quick shop of perishable items before heading home. I got a nice surprise too, Dave had primed the wall that was sprayed yesterday so we are that much closer to being done painting this living room once and for all!!

I can't believe how fast summer is going by, it's almost done! This is my last week of holidays, the kids are done (and passed their levels) swimming lessons, and its the last week of Boys and Girls Club that they've been enjoying so much this summer, plus we're getting ready for our last camping trip of the summer this upcoming weekend. It's been so busy for us this year, it seem like they just got out of school and we're getting them ready to go back! It's bittersweet honestly....

See you soon!!
