We were thrilled to have Grandma Marie and Grandpa Peter come for a visit from Thursday until Saturday. On Friday we took in the Farm Progress Show, well Mom and Dad took in the Show, Chris was working all week at it and the kids and I arrived about 3:30 to check out all the tractors, combines etc. The kids definitely liked going to the show, Will's favourite parts were the diggers and bobcats, go figure.
On Saturday we went to Candy Cane park for a picnic lunch. Then Grandpa Peter asked the kids if they wanted to go for ice cream, kind of a rhetorical question I think. So we went to the Milky Way for ice cream. Then home for naps and playing in the pool in the yard and a bbq.

Sunday morning Will slept in until gasp 7:30! I know many people do not consider that sleeping in but for a 6am guy it was amazing. Don't worry Madelyn was up at 6:30 to make sure we were up, actually Chris got up with her so I went back to sleep until 7:30. Only down side of Will sleeping until 7:30 was he did not nap this afternoon. He did hang out quietly in his room for an hour but just could not fall asleep. He came out and told me "Mom, I need to tell you something. I closed my eyes and my mouth for a long time and I just can't fall asleep." This means by evening he was a tad temperamental, although he can go without a nap, he really still needs one to be functional by the time 6:30 comes around.
We cut down a few shrubs type trees from in front of the house, they had become overgrown, from previous owners and really just needed to come down, now we will have to get rid of the roots and plant some new shrubs or something. Any suggestions? I am thinking something that will flower to add a bit of colour.
The we also tried to get caught up on the normal weekend things, laundry, a bit of house cleaning, I baked some buns, we played in the yard (pool again), weeded and watered garden, all those good things to get ready for the week.
Then ended the evening curled up on the couch watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Madelyn kept climbing off the couch so she could hop hop hop like Daisy.

| Loading tree the little branches, Will would hand them to Madelyn who would put them on to the truck. Mom and Dad had to take care of the big ones. Between loading branches and lady bugs the kids enjoyed this activity. Note there may have been more then one lady bug fatality... |
 |
| Elephant ears for afternoon snack. Kids each ate a couple of bites then moved on to watermelon. Trust me they were delicious! |
 |
| Gotta love this slide! |
 |
| Madelyn checking out the water. |

| Kids had ring pops after supper, note they were an outside treat! |

| Mickey Mouse snuggles! |
The best part about the upcoming week is the shortness of it. Only a 4 day work week! Sounds like a great way to start the long weekend.
