Mother Knows Best: Canada Day Weekend and Some Other Stuff

I am truly amazed at what children will put into their little mouths. On Thursday Dani picked and ate boogers... from Zach's nose!!! I was grossed out but laughing so hard I just about pissed myself! I think I laughed harder at the sound of mmmmm after the nugget went down. We rented a movie seeing as we hadn't watched a movie together for as long as I can remember. The babes must have known that we intended to watch a movie cause they were absolutely impossible to get down that night. So by 11:30 we just decided to let them stay up with us and watch the movie together. Not even fifteen minutes into the show Dani (who was sitting on my lap) popped her bottle out of her mouth and barfed all over me. The first heave ended up on both of us and the second heave ended up all over the couch cushion, the coffee table and the floor. Chris went and borrowed the steam cleaner from Jan - thankfully they were still up! We did finish watching the movie - it was 3:30 by the time we went to bed!
Friday brought a parade - well more like a bunch of bikes with a block long traffic jam. Bigger turnout than last year though! Jan and I went and watched some of the stuff going on. Chris and I participated in the log sawing competition we came in second last! I went in the nail hammering competition and got disqualified for switching to my right hand - you think I would have learned after the last time I did it and was disqualified! I went in the pudding eating contest and wore most of it. Lastly I went in the egg throwing competition and lasted one throw - I was more concerned about the kid that landed his egg beside me - I didn't want to get egg guts all over my shoes! It started to rain so Jan and I left and went to pick up Chris and Garry to go watch the snowmobile races. We parked the car and watched a few people go and then went to the Totem Pole for ice cream. I know what your thinking - who in their right mind would ride a snowmobile in the middle of summer, well....you know. When your lacking in activities (sanity) anything goes! On Saturday Chris stayed with the kids and I went to play softball for a few hours - I am in some serious pain - I used muscles I didn't even know existed! Poor achy body! I played bat catcher. I caught an in field fly (only thing I caught in 2 games aside from what was being pitched). I also wore a ball to the inner thigh - I think I might try to match the color with some paint for a rec room - it is a real fancy purple green color!!! On the upside though we won both games! I spent all of Sunday and most of today trying to recupperate from Saturday. I estimate I did around 700 squats and lunges on Saturday! I FEEL THE BURN!!!! On Thursday I am going to have a me day and am going to town to get my hair done and to go for lunch with Jackie. Chris is going to stay home with the kidlets for the day (brave man). Anyway here are some more pics for everyones viewing pleasure!
