The weekend went by in a blur. Date on this post should be Tues. Sept. 9.
Eric had a busy day Friday with his Mom. We had her dog Jetter over for a play and he did great here. We took him home Friday evening and then carried onto Sooke to pick up Lili and Fei's new wee baby rats. Sat. Eric finally got a ride in, it's been too dry in the bush all summer. The kid's and I stayed home and did critter care. Helping the new babies (Charlotte and Taylor) and Lea adjust to each other while dogsitting Mom and Dad's dogs. It was a fun day with so many animals here. Lea has been really sad since Lola died and she was so noticably happy to have babies. They are beyond adorable together. She flipped them over and cleaned their butts immediatly. She's a fabulous adoptive Mom. The three of them are in the big cage together already. Jia and Luk went and got their toy rats and played all day with their babies. So cute.
On Sunday Mom and I took the girls to the fair so they could dance. We had a hard time with the wheelchair in the gravel and the staff just would NOT let us drop Mom off. We didn't see much but it was nice to see the girls perform and it was a great sunny day and we enjoyed being together. Eric and I took the littles shopping Sunday evening. Squeaked in a hair cut for Luk and the lady cutting his hair has a grandson with a shunt so she was great about cutting to hide it :) Then we let him pick out all the party supplies for his 3rd Birthday party. He picked a pirate theme.
Lili went to her first Chalkboard theater class. She really liked it. It was clear that she and Rosa had a good time. Lots of happy chatter about it.
Monday was Autumn Moon Festival. We met with friends for a walk and some lantern fun. Luk was beyond delighted to have a lantern. Jia was thrilled to see Emily. All of the kids loved letting the floating lanterns into the sky. Compliments of Nicole and Steve. Some of the kid's complain about us taking group pictures so this time we let the kids take pictures of the adults. Too funny. I wish the night photos turned out better. Should have brought my real camera. The phone is handy but not the best quality for sure.
Today when I got home Jia was napping so Luk and I took the time to fill his goodie bags. All candy so he was pretty thrilled. Now we have to hope he doesn't find them before his birthday ;)
Life is super busy and full of ups and downs.
