Downtime

This is my downtime today...while I'm eating lunch! I have so much to do before we go camping on Thursday (hopefully). I have to clean my house from top to bottom, literally! I have cleaned the bathrooms already and the laundry is on the go. I still have to vaccum, sweep and wash the floors, wash the windows, clean the kitchen, and so on...

The reason I said hopefully after thursday is because we ran into a little mishap with the trailer situation yesterday. We took our trailer to Lonepine RV on Saturday morning so they could fix our fridge and have it ready for us to pick up on Monday night. The guy from Lonepine RV calls me around 1 pm to give me some not so good news... actually very bad news. He tells me that he fixed the wiring so the lights work properly now and he replaced the roof vent. Then he goes on about how we are pulling this trailer Illegally because the wiring is not set up on the van for trailer brakes and that will be about $400 to put in. Then he goes on and starts explaining how the propane lines are very dangerous and that they are not up to code, and he hasn't even touched the fridge because he refuses to open up the propane bottles. He tells me that this is approxiamelty $300-$500 to fix. So our $100 fridge fix turns into $1000 in a matter of minutes. Without going into much more detail we are getting the trailer fixed and HOPEFULLY it will be ready by Wednesday evening and HOPEFULLY we will still be leaving Thursday morning or there abouts.

After the laundry is finished I will start packing the suitcases and hopefully have most of it done by this afternoon. Whatever I don't pack by today I will be doing by tomorrow afternoon so it is all ready to go Wednesday night.

Tomorrow morning mom and I are going to get all the groceries for the camping trip. I don't know how it'll go with the kids being there and distracting us but I guess we'll find out. Austin is getting very excited about camping. He asks me almost everyday "Are we going camping today?" and I say no but in a couple of days. I have purchased a lot of things for the kids to do for the week like painting, badminton, a shovel and trucks, coloring, kids golfing, a water gun, etc. I hope he stays out of trouble with all the activities I have for him to do. We are camping right by the river/creek so he has to be occupied or guess where he'll go...

Anyways, back to my cleaning I go....

Started a blog...What a surprise

So Miranda started this blog about the family and I really enjoy opening it from time to time and seeing what I've missed or haven't heard about yet. I always thought that blogging was dumb until she started it. I thought okay I will start one evntually maybe but not anytime soon...And then my mom started one. So now here I go!! I want to keep everyone updated on our family and our kids growth and the funny things they do...cuz they are pretty funny sometimes!!

So here goes...

I had to go to the medical clinic this morning because my throat hurts again so I had mom come over and watch the kids for me so I didn't have to take them. I called her when I FINALLY got into a room and she tells me there was an incident... Dalyce got into one of my cupboards, pulled out my glass measuring cups and dropped one and it shattered into a million peices. I thought that this was kind of funny because Austin did the same thing at about the same age!!

Austin did something pretty funny yesterday. Grant went to the bathroom downstairs yesterday and to his surprise there was no toilet paper. So he asked Austin to go upstairs into our bathroom to get him so toilet paper, he says OK and he runs upstairs. He comes down a couple seconds later and says Daddy Daddy I got you some toilet paper and brings it to him...come on guess what he did?! He brought him one piece!!! Grant starts laughing and says no Austin I need the whole roll!! (I wasn't home in case anyone was wondering why Grant didn't just ask me)

Anyways there is my first blog post! I hope you enjoyed it!!
