I’m at the halfway point of this day, surprisingly enjoying a little down time.
We all hit the road at 10 this morning (I won’t bore you with the lengthy details of 8-10am). Steve took Jacob to North Van for his hockey tournament. Jayla and I escorted Jackson to his soccer game. When we got to soccer it was cool and cloudy. And muddy. The soccer field is always muddy. It was quite nice actually…Jayla was happy to sit and watch the game and Jackson was happy to have us there. About half-an-hour in though, seemingly out of nowhere, we began to be belted with hail. Hail! That was a wrap on outing #1.
With the time we saved from the game being called early, we were able to race home before the trip to go bananas. We were soaked (and yes, muddy). A full change was needed by all, which is an event in itself.
Go Bananas was a blast. It was for a classmate from Jayla’s preschool. 30 kids and at least as many adults. Sushi, pizza, sandwiches, fruit plates, cake. This was definitely a “first kid’s” party! Jayla (third kid) had a very small family gathering at home for her birthday.
I’m now back home while Jayla sleeps and Steve and the boys enjoy the laser tag party. I have 2 whole, complete hours (to myself!) before Jacob’s hockey party.
I’m skipping the dip. I decided on store-bought nanaimo bars which I will remove from the original packaging and place on something from home so it looks like I made them. Sometimes, you just have to improvise:)
