Rainy Weekend = Family Fun





It's been rainy and cool the last 2 days so that means we've been staying inside for the most part. We did pick up Shamus' school supplies yesterday. Walmart (Big W) was a crazy place!!!! EVERYONE on the West Island was there. So, we bought what we needed and got out of there! After we got home I started up some yummy stew. Can't go wrong with stew on a cool day! Darryl and I played some crib while the stew cooked and the kiddies watched a show. Then we all played cards - Pass The Ace. It was hilarious! Shamus and Breagha were really into it and did quite well. Shamus has an excellent poker face! Darryl and I enjoyed some wine and a movie once the kids went to bed so a great evening for everyone!

We got up this morning, to another rainy day, so we all sat at the table and did some puzzles, mazes, and sketching. And more board games. It was very very nice. :) It reminded me of how lucky I am.

This afternoon we met up with Jolyne, Jeff, and Karine for some lunch and now the weekend is coming to an end! Already. No fun. Darryl has had very long days since we got to Montreal so the weekend is our real family time. Bummer that it goes so quickly!

This is Shamus' last week before school so we're hoping to have a couple of fun days before he hits the books! But, the weather isn't looking too good. I'm sure we'll come up with something!

I'm sure you'll find an arena to take the kids skating if it's still rainy!

I hope Shamus will like the new school, the new teacher and that he will make tons of good friends!

He will be way ahead of everyone having already gone to school here!
