We are so excited! We're home from another week of camping! (kidding, sort of. camping is nice. coming home is also nice. but that's not the news, lol.)
The news is that Grandma and Grandpa (aka. Josh's mom and dad) are MOVING HERE!!!!!! (that's one exclamation mark for each of us, to show our excitement, and it isn't even close to enough!)
Josh's mom got a job in Brandon, so they're comin' out! They left yesterday, but aren't in a huge rush, so they should be here sometime early next week. We're not totally sure of the plans for everything (they still have their house in BC to sell and will want to find a place in Brandon and have to move, etc) but for now, Grandma will be staying with us. And she's definitely more than welcome!
We hope they're ready for lots of visits and sleepovers and coming to this concert and that one! The kids were so cute when we told them. Which, for the record, wasn't until we knew for sure that things were happening, cuz that is not a conversation we wanted to have every day! They were really happy, they kept saying "maybe they'll be able to come to our christmas concert!", "maybe they'll want to come to our school musical!", "maybe they'll come for birthday parties!!". Yes, guys. Maybe they'll want to, maybe!
So, we're really happy and excited and everything else about that.
And we're also excited to be home after another week camping. William Lake, this time. We really love it there. The weather was great, it wasn't too busy, the kids had fun playing and swimming at the beach.
The only downside was the wasps - they have been the downside for us pretty much all summer. I don't know if I mentioned it (don't think I did), but the first time we camped out there this summer Ruthie found a nest. And by found, I mean put her hand right in it. In return, she got 8 or 9 stings, ran screaming from the woods, and got to go to a local clinic to get some antihistamine. Poor kid. We haven't had anything near that bad since (thank goodness) but Levi did get stung on his palm at the beginning of the week, and I got stung on the end of my finger yesterday. Ouch.
I'm pretty sure our camping is over for the year. We only got out 3 times, though for a week each time, that's not too bad. And we did get to Winnipeg once, which we wanted. With all the dentist and eye appointments scattered over the summer, we're glad we got out that much. Now we just need to tidy out the trailer (strip bedding and all), get things tucked and taped closed, then tuck the trailer over by the shed - done.
Other than all that, we've got one more week (next week) before school starts here (the 5th). School supplies are bought, still need to sort through everything and get bags packed. Isaac has one more dentist appointment (filling) on Wednesday and we're hoping to get over to our friends' farm for swimming and supper some day this week. And, of course, we're waiting on Grandma and Grandpa. Oh, and I have piles of laundry to catch up on! Should be a busy week, I guess. Then, back to our normal school week routine!
