Owl, Bat and Dad...

So it's rainy today but we had to venture out this morning for the boys last gymnastics lesson. They both passed the level that they were in and got little certificates! After that we went to McDonald's for lunch so that they could play and stop asking me to go (they've asked me like everyday this week!) We stayed as long as we could before Taylor totally smelled up the joint...after that we headed over to Canadian Tire which by the way is such a fun store to shop in! They have everything you can think of! I picked up some paint stuff, pylons for soccer, batteries for my camera, crocs, and ideas for the basement!
Also this morning I discovered the best bakery ever! It's actually dangerous that I've found this place because it will for sure be calling my name once a week! They make buns that are close to the same taste as my homemade ones, except I don't have to make them!

Yesterday, Susie one of my good friends came over to help me paint downstairs. This brown color needed another coat and this is pretty much the finished color, I have a few touch ups but all in all it looks great...and thanks to Susie for helping me break down my OCD for a short enough period to allow her to help me!
This is the bedroom that is also finished, a bit blurry for some reason but you get the idea mom!
When we got home just now Taylor found a puppy and cuddled for some puppy love!

Don't you just love these new crocs I found for her? The prettiest color!

I re-organized the study the other night...I'm surprised I didn't pull a muscle from moving that gigantic desk over and the bookcase but I managed. I must say that I'm glad I'm as strong as I am or I would have no fun moving furniture! It opens up the room a bit more and I'm really enjoying the new look!
Now for the funny story to go along with my title "Owl, Bat and Dad"

While we were driving this morning I wasn't really listening to Drew babble in the back seat, I was listening to my music but I could hear him. He was talking about some animals that were nocturnal and how they sleep in the day and hunt and eat at night. Then I hear him say "Hey, I think Dad is nocturnal too. He works at night and sometimes when he comes home in the day he falls asleep!" I thought that was pretty clever for him to put that together. I think he's right though, Dad turns nocturnal on some rotations around here, especially now that he's on General Surgery right now...it's brutal!

Speaking of never seeing him, he leaves tomorrow until Sunday for Quebec City. He has some kind of Orthopedic conference to attend. It'll be fun for him to spend some time with a buddy from Med School who is also going from Saskatchewan so I'm glad he'll have that. Maybe he'll even have some time to golf! He needs the break! I'm looking forward to seeing my brother on Monday (9th), it'll be nice to catch up!
