Swimming and stuff...
Yesterday was another 'free choice Tuesday'. Sam had PreK and so Abigail was free to choose what to do for the day! She chose to go swimming as our local pool had reopened the day before after having been closed for a month! We were in the pool by 9:30 and swam until 11 and then sat in the hot tub for 15 minutes. The pool was lovely and empty which was a VERY good thing as a school class had just arrived as we did and when I asked if they were swimming I was told YES!!! YIKES!!!! Luckily they weren't swimming until after lunch :) Phew!!!
In the pool we had great fun - chasing each other across the pool and around the whirl pool - and trying to walk the wrong way round the whirl pool - which we managed to do :) not easy if you don't hold on to the sides :) We also played volleyball and catch for quite a while with one of the balls there.
After the pool we had an early lunch and then Abigail went in the playground for a while and I sat with my London Fog :)
Then we headed to the grocery store and did a BIG shop - Abigail was in charge of the grocery list and also chose quite a few things for some recipes she wants to make!!! This week we got a free dvd player!!! Then over to Dollarama where we got supplies for a geocache, some things to include with our cards for Aaron and some other bits and pieces including a recorder for Abigail and some Fall decor....
Back to pick Sam up - Abigail played at the playground for a while. Then home to pick up Susannah and unload the groceries. Then off to the school to watch Laurences volleyball game and meet Lloyd and Chris! A great volleyball game and the Mustangs won :) Go Mustangs :)
So, swimming was Abigails choice for this week! She was also happy with the trip to Dollarama and hanging out at two playgrounds today!!! Oh and she had fun at the grocery store because she got to choose a lot of things AND push the cart ;)

I need a baby!!!!!!!
For those of you who live in my area, do you know a family who has recently had a baby? I believe the baby needs to be between 2 and 4 months old by mid October.
One Preschool in our area has been chosen to run the wonderful 'Seeds of Empathy' program.
www.seedsofempathy.org/
This is the preschool version of the very successful elementary school program Roots of Empathy' program. Roots of Empathy is an evidence-based classroom program that has shown dramatic effect in reducing levels of aggression among school children by raising social/emotional competence and increasing empathy. Seeds of Empathy grew out of Roots of Empathy and brings the messages of that program to three-to-five-year-olds.
I believe the parent/ baby would have to visit the preschool once a month for about half an hour. There would be no direct contact between the children and the baby. The baby is given some books, a special 'teacher' vest (for teaching the children about empathy)!! and there is a celebration at the end of the year!!!
Please contact me if you know someone who may be able to help or who would like further details - thank you!!! We need a few families quickly! The time is almost here. We promise it would be a lot of fun and the preschool is a wonderfully warm and welcoming place :)

New Fall decor........
I added a little something to my Fall decor yesterday - a black cauldron that I filled with some Fall leaves - total cost $3 from Dollarama ;) I got an extra cauldron to fill with candy too :) I can't find candy corn anywhere though......hhhmmmmmm!!!
Go Mustangs!!!
The Mustangs won their first game of the year yesterday :) Laurence is the team Captain :) It was a very exciting game - though I have to say that it is a dangerous spectator sport!!! The ball kept flying in to the crowd!! I was there at the start, and Lloyd arrived halfway through with Chris, as they got there after work/ school. It was nice to have the whole family there to watch!! :)
Sorry the pics aren't great - I just snapped them with my iphone!!!
