Our Weekend




We had a great day before Father's Day. This summer I am babysitting some kids, Eve loves the built in playmates, and we brought them to Ward Lake for family day. Ian helped Eve fish in the lake... she didn't catch anything then, but that morning we picked the kids I babysit up from City Park where they were having the kids fishing derby and Eve got to catch a fish there!!! Nothing better than catching a fish with a Barbie fishing pole.

It was such a nice sunny day. Ian took the kids out in the canoe and I stayed and supervised lake side. Then it was to our house to play on the deck in the sunshine. We finally broke out the kiddie pool so the kids had a blast. It was a great day.

Then just at midnight the flu kicked in for me. I was glad that Eve had decided to sleep over at my mom's so I could be sick and not worry about waking her up. But then the phone rang at 3 in the morning it was mom warning us that Eve was sick. Poor mom. She dealt with Eve's flu. Then Ian's Father's Day was spent running to the store for just the right liquids for his dehydrated and miserable girls. Poor guy!! But we really appreciate that he helped out so much! Made life much easier for us. And maybe Father's Day will come later for him... when the energy is back and the aching bodies are completely healed... Of course for me that may not be until this baby is done cooking.

Eve recovering from the flu. What a nice bed the closet makes, with towels for blankets. She recovers in style, with her princess dress on.
