Turner and Hooch

Hahaha. I'm sitting to lunch, watching Turmer and Hooch and Finn is watching the tv!!

Eric is off to Nanaimo to get Fei's car going. Fingers crossed it's the battery. I'm still coughing. A lot. It hurts.  

Jia's Room

Jia has been talking about a room redo for about two years. She's been told what steps she has to take to make that happen. She has never done the required things. Tidy room, put clothing away, get clothing to laundry, take garbage out. Simple list. On the road trip home she started up again. I told her it wasn't time. School first. Plus, I'm sick. She promptly got home and started tearing her room all apart. I asked her to stop, told her no one was getting on board today to help her and again....we need to see more schoolcwork happening. This is what I found on my way to bed tonight. Sigh.

Procrastination

I've been at my desk most of the day.  Lots of procrastinating going on.  Lili reminded me this morning that it was camp booking day.  I got a site for Easter at Rathtrevor!  Then rallied the camping friends.  We have four families booked.  Yay.  So fun.

Then booked a random end of April weekend because we can.  

How are we supposed to know so far in advance if we can camp or what the weather will be?  Luk still has a bunch of procedures coming up.  Lili isn't done her school and travels until the end of May and Fei isn't done her course until mid July.  Who knows what they'll be up to this summer.  Life isn't feeling very predictable.  

Eric has been doing laundry all day.  Plus was out car shopping for Fei.  Her car is dead in Nanaimo.  Likely her battery.  However, Eric has been telling her for two years her temporary, learn to drive car wasn't meant to last.  

Ok, this is just more procrastinating.  I'm on my old phone and blogger is working fine.  So the issue is my new phone.  Arg.

Home!

We had a great last night. Leisurely morning. Uneventful ferry and drive. The babies were all happy to see us. The house was clean and Jessica even baked us cookies! And they're yummy.  

Lili and Fei got laundry going. Lili and Eric ran out to Walmart to grab food for the next few days. Back to school already tomorrow! The girls are back to their lives 

tonight.

This morning at breakfast I gave Kai a banana, peanut butter pack and a plastic knife. I opened the banana and showed him how to put some on the end and eat. This kept him busy while we gathered the rest of the food and drinks. The concentration 

was fabulous. Normally he just waits but he really loves peanut butter and he hadn't seen any in a couple weeks.  

In Surrey words.

Figures our last night would be our nicest hotel at the lowest price. The family wasn't keen to land in Surrey. It is on the way to the ferry though and I hotwired it for $81 a night.  

We left at 7:30. Crossed the border at 7:30. Uneventful driving day again. There was a Tims beside the hotel so we just ate dinner/bedtime snack there. Can you get any more Canadians than that.

Jia wanted to be texting the boyfriend. I asked her to wait until I checked her plan. She didn't wait. 59 texts from the border to the hotel. 20 minutes time. Each text 

at .75cents. Oy. 

The girls wanted me to blog about Kai letting rip a whole bunch of farts in a quiet hotel lobby of people lined up to check in. I thought the Jia texts was a funnier story though.

We'll be home around 4 tomorrow. Always soooo exciting to get home.
