Here we go again

Another Sunday and to follow is another Monday...
We had a busy, fun, and some what annoying weekend, is that possible all at the same time you may ask?
Friday we stayed at home for dinner, watched the hockey game and had a relatively low key evening. Earlier that day I took of work early to go to day care because it was Emerson's teacher's last day. It was very sad, I'm glad she is too young to know the difference. Plus this was the teacher that was teaching the class Spanish (she is getting her masters degree in secondary education and Spanish, hence the reason she had to quit). So we asked her if she had time if she would come over and continue the Spanish lessons with Emerson. She gave us her phone number so hopefully she'll have some time.
Saturday morning we went to the Buffalo Zoo for breakfast with the Easter Bunny. We went with our friend's the Rogan's who have a son (Cameron) who is 3 months older than Emerson, so they play great together and look forward to seeing each other. Emerson was petrified of the Easter Bunny (there will be no pictures of that, I'm not in to forcing her to do that). Cameron wasn't a big fan either so that worked out good...the Easter Bunny just kept his distance from our table. After the breakfast we walked around the zoo and saw the animals, I love the zoo it is fun for us and fun for the kids.
Then we headed down to another chimney and fireplace contractor to take a look at their gas inserts. Exactly the same as the other guy. So the contractor we had been working with all along is essentially trying to screw us. He is charging us for time already spent...he came to our house and took some measurements and wrote up a proposal...some how that cost $1200, isn't that the cost of doing business? He is unwavering in his cost even though Joel has called him out on everything. If we go with him we will have to pay money out of our pocket above what the insurance company has given us and that isn't going to happen. So I guess right now we are going with his competitor who will work within the money from the insurance company.
I went and ordered Emerson's birthday cake from a local desert shop and picked up a few other treats;) Then we went out for dinner, both girls were very good, came home and I was ready for bed.
Sunday we went to the grocery store, as we do every week. Then we took a load of stuff out to my parent's new house. They have stuff that they order delivered to our house, so the Suburban was full! Home again to get ready for the week (laundry, clean-up, etc.). Had dinner, then some friend's came over to see Brynn. So again I am ready to go back to work to sit down. Joel is out of town this week, so it may be a bit hectic. I may have to call in the babysitter one night to help me out. (We have the best baby sitter in the world and she is always willing to come over and give me a hand.)

Ready to go see the Easter Bunny. Emerson has some new shoes on...they have holes in them they are more like sandals, but she would not take them off...at least she was wearing socks.

Funny how when you have kids weekends aren't really weekends. ;) Love the plaid little pants on the girls and Ems love of her shoes. Jayda is illogical too when it comes to spring/summer shoes in the winter.
