The kids slept through the night with not one peep last night. They even slept past 7:50 this morning to about 8:05 or so.
MBMell and Lola had to take the kids to school today, so they got them dressed. Lola really wanted to see the kids ride their 2 wheelers, so she took each of them out on the sidewalk to show her, while MBMell tried to find Emma who was lost. No luck, and we were going to be late for school. Lola went back inside and found her behind the bench. Off to school with almost happy kids. T was a little upset as he wanted to go in the CRV (which DD had at the old house getting the car charger moved), but eventually we got them off to school.
Back to the house we went where we tried to get as much furniture mounted as possible and things hung up to make life more functional.
First up - Kids playroom furniture and world map canvas.
It felt good that all the recycling was picked up.
Then lunch with coconut maple ice cream.
Then made the kids beds with their new mattress protectors and changed over the handles on B's dresser and hung her new curtain.
Off to the guest room to put the furniture together (put the bed together).
Tried to mount the scrap booking shelf, but couldn't find the mounting tools. We also put away the air mattresses.
Locks were rekeyed during this time.
We then hung some stuff in the back entry for jackets and shoes.
The awesome Tool Kit!
The phone alarm went off to get ready to get the kids and head to the airport. I was just changing into my "winter" attire when AA texted telling me not to be worried, but the flight from Minneapolis to Winnipeg was cancelled (at 3:30, my flight left at 10:30).
AA the more experienced one helped Lola on the phone figure out what she had to do. Also she asked if she could stay a few days longer.
The flight they rebooked on was to go from Austin to Seattle to Calgary to Winnipeg. Taking the entire day to get home... no thanks, that is ridiculous. The next best flight was Friday at 4:30.... leaving at that time didn't make sense as she already lost the day at work... so she asked if she could book on Sunday instead! YES please.... it is so cold in Manitoba, no one is asking me why I didn't hesitate. I did a little, as AA and Lola haven't seen each other... but we will soon!
During this MbMell got a call from the school, that one of her kids were sick. So we headed that way. T was in pain complaining about his ear. The school is luckily next door to the clinic, so off we went. Within 15 minutes we had seen a nurse, a nurse practitioner, and they sent the prescription to the pharmacy. It took longer for MBMell to get the prescription for the ear infection than the actual visit at the clinic.
Made it home, ordered some supper, got T calmed down and cosy in his pjs and just chilled.
Kids went to bed very well again (day 3 of separate rooms!)
Ok time for a shower and bed. Oh and AA made it home from Thompson, and the weather is still -50 back in Manitoba.
Not going home, Lola.
