What a wonderful weekend, despite not feeling all that great (again)! I'm tired of being sick...3 times in 5 months is too much. All respiratory related. This time, I'm going to the doctor to inquire as to why so much but I figure it has a lot to do with working with 33 Kindergarten students!
So to start, we went to the Shriner's Circus in Presque Isle, Maine.
What terrible parents we are considering Noah had never been to a circus (that he could remember anyways). We had only taken him to the circus once when he was still in a snugly carrier and I remember THAT day all too well. It was STIFLING hot at the Moncton Coliseum and we took our nephews to see the circus (along with Noah in the snugly, cuddled all in tight to my chest). It was SOOOO hot and stinky, it was unbearable!
So we met some friends (that we had met at camp in the winter) - or tried too. It was so busy, we couldn't find them until intermission then the boys came to sit with us for the last half of the show.
Here are some of our favourite parts of the show:
The clowns, for sure!
The tigers!
The dogs, I LOVED the grey dude on the left!
This acrobatic!
This was my favourite clown - his name was JINX.
He had a broken arm - how appropriate!
This was my FAVOURITE act...
Thought it was absolutely amazing when this girl started getting INTO this little box.
Then when she got in, absolutely amazing.
BUT....
when the 2nd girl got in we were ASTOUNDED.
This all happened on Saturday afternoon....then my Mother's Day was the absolute best!
Then ALAS, Mother's Day
My day started very early with Noah bringing me a card he had made. It was SO cute. On the front, had a flower pot glued with 3 flowers with stems. You could pull out the flowers and written on each stem was a 'coupon'. One for Noah to make my bed, one for Noah to make a tea for me and one for another chore to do for me. It was SO sweet & special!
Then our day was started. Without a question of what I wanted to do just happened! We made plans to drive a friend of Noah's (and his little sister) to a hospital in Quebec City (about a 3.5 hr drive) to visit their mom (as a complete surprise to their mom!). It was a wonderful day with 2 extra kiddo's in the car. The boys had a blast...singing and dancing. We had SO much fun.
When we arrived, we all had a big cry watching the kids surprise their mom. It was AMAZING.... So we left the kids at the hospital while Jacques and Noah took me out for a Mother's Day lunch (at a place we found (and LOVED) the day we flew out to Orlando). I was one happy girl!
Though this photo is blurry, it was the MOST hilarious when it happened. The boys were 'rockin' in out with their pencils (pretending them to be telephones) singing and dancing to the song 'Telephone' by Lady Gaga! It was SO cute and fun. Just two bud's, on a road trip, having some good ole' fashion FUN!
Here's Destiny & Isaac getting ready on the elevator to surprise their mom on Mother's Day!
ONE HAPPY MOM...
NOTHING could have topped this gift that we gave to Monica & her kids.
Almost 8 hours of driving time, NO dvd player and only ONE side of the highway pit stop!!!
Another highlight to my Mother's Day:
The PERFECT gift (next to Noah's card and coupons)!
Thanks so much for the MOST wonderful Mother's Day, boys!
