Guess I might as well get fully caught up again on the blog.
Soccer started this week which is the first time we actually were able to get out on the 'pitch' when the schedule started. Hayden has 7 other players on his team this year and it will be fun to see how they all progress.
I was crazy enough to switch the tires on Monday night after soccer and put my new Continental all-season's onto the car. It is surprising how much of an impact a set of tires can make on the feeling of the car. Here's hoping that they will last longer than the factory Goodyears which needed to be replaced after less than 30,000 km.
After testing the car with the new boots on I felt that the brakes were mushier than I like so on Tuesday evening it was back out to the garage to flush the Mazda's brake system out. Dad wandered over and we took turns pumping the brake pedal and manipulating the bleed screw. Surprisingly it was an enjoyable time for what is supposed to be a chore.
Wednesday was game two of the soccer season - the boys would benefit from a coach more capable than i am ;-)
Thursday was time for a costco run where, besides some groceries, I splurged on a bunch of camping equipment. Earlier in the afternoon Hayden had him mom and sisters visit him at school with Nana and Papa to witness the Grade 1 assembly. All in attendance seemed to enjoy the songs and presentation that was prepared. The theme was endangered species and Mom was suprised to hear that Hayden's animals of choice to protect were sharks - hope aunt Mandy doesn't get too upset.
Friday was a big day as Kirsty's friend Amy organized a baby shower to celebrate Zettie's arrival. It was quite a production as over a dozen women headed out for dinner and some games at San Remo's. Judging by the amount of swag Kirst returned home with it was a very successful night.
While Mom and Zee were at the party the Hayden, Fynlee and I journeyed to Five Guy's with Sean, Ethan, Kiara and Papa. There we gorged ourselves on cheeseburgers and fresh fries with an extra helping of goofy kids. Our bellies full and our blood pressure soaring we returned back to the Green's house where we were able to watch the original Tron movie and giggle at the old special effects.
After such a eventful previous 7 days the weekend was rather subdued. We managed to do some shopping without spending any money and get caught up on chores that were becoming past due. Being able to spend some time with Nana and Papa also added to the enjoyability of Saturday and Sunday.
