I slept in this morning and listened to the kids wake up and eat breakfast and watch cartoons. They were all in a good mood probably because there was no school and it was a special day.
I got up around 8:30-9 and got moving. I slept really bad and my neck and back are all out so I was a bit slow moving.
I planned to take the kids to brunch at Coras in Lethbridge before going to Taber to meet Alyssa and their Erickson family for the swim party.
There was a line to get in to Cora's but we were seated rather quickly but then we waited a good hour-hour and a half before actually getting our food. The kids were remarkably good. I guess that is maybe the ratio of almost one adult per kid that helped. Either way besides me being super hungry because I hadn't eaten yet that day and it was now 12:30 We all did pretty well. It was a nice place and the kids had fun.
We got to Taber with only a few napping kids and then headed into the swimming pool. It was a perfect spot for Izaac who I barely saw the whole time. There was one water slide and a diving born and that was a all he needed. The baby pool was alright but a bit crowded and boring for me:) plus it was kind of cold but not nearly as cold as it is at Polk but also the sun wasn't nearly as hot either so kind of a trade off. I may have snuck into the warm shower in the change room after going to the bathroom once or twice. Cora and I also trolled the hot tub and that was nice and warm but just made the baby pool seem that much colder so that didn't really help either.
After two hours we convinced the kids to get out of the pool and had back home. It is an hour and a half drive so all but Izaac fell asleep and woke up right as we got home at 6:30. I fed them a delectable dinner of PB and Honey and they happily watched a movie while I ran over to say hi to Grandma Harrison who was making chocolates even though I told her I wanted her to teach me how to do it right not have her do it and show me hers are delicious but I will try again and see how they compare and if I am doing it right. We are going to have a big chocolate dipping party Dec 12 at Grandmas and I am excited. I love reliving old memories with good people. and any memories that involve chocolate are just awesome.
I am now putting off packing. I should be prepared and ready with all my endeavors but I am not ready as of yet. I am trying to get myself organized with your package and It is going to be .... Alright. I hope you are ok with that but I know you will be because I love you and you love me and that means you put up with all of my lame attempts at trying to be cool and loving and you see the best in them. I want you to know how much I love you. I was thinking of that time you built a snow igloo/fort in Staten Island in our gigantic snowbank between us and the neighbors and we both snuggled in and kissed for a bit. I like our secret rendezvous. even if they aren't so secret.
You are probably thinking I forgot to make goals but I didn't they are here now....
1. Pack everything I need and forget nothing I need and be read with everything we need
2.Have a good conversation with mom, both mine and yours
3.enjoy the adventure.
That is all.
That is it.
I am yours.
I don't mind a bit.
Boom didn't know I was a poet did you. Well now ya do. You are welcome.

That is all, you are right it is really hard to just stop writing when writing such as these nonsensical syllables have flowed onto the page.
