labor day weekend

We had a great weekend.

Granny Tina arrived from Scotland and Cameron and Jamie are thrilled that she is here. Cameron can barely be more than about 5 feet away from his Granny all day. We opened a special bottle of champagne the evening she arrived. Deb and Jason gave it to us as a wedding gift and we decided to celebrate Grant being an American citizen and Granny Tina arriving for her holiday. It was delicious! Thanks Deb and Jason!We failed to take photos at a wonderful bbq at Cheryl's house. We went to visit Pam and her family at her sister's new house which is only about 30 mins from here. We all had a great Sunday so sorry there are no photos!

Jamie found a box this weekend that we'd kept from his birthday party. He loves Thomas the tank engine and the box has Thomas all over it. He had the best time climbing in and out of it as you can see from this photo. Sometimes all kids need is a large cardboard box to keep them happy!
This afternoon we went over to our neighbour's house for a bbq and pool party. We had such a great time and the kids loved being in the pool. It made Grant and I plan a spot for a pool in our backgarden...maybe when we win the lottery!

Tomorrow the boys start their new school. Backpacks are ready, boys are sleeping and I'm ready for a little down-time.

Please give Tina hugs from us. We miss seeing her. Congrats again to Grant! And we're so glad that you finally opened the champagne. Now that's something to celebrate.
