I now think you need to have a long hard week to really appreciate a beautiful relaxing weekend.
This week was my first week at the day care back to work. I cried the night before our first day, I cried because I no longer would be spending my days playing with Hayden and Hunter watching Hunter grow and explore the world around him, I cried because I wanted to be the one playing and laughing with my children not someone else. Well after I cried i decided that I needed to let it go and put on my big girl panties and prepare for work. Well the first day I dropped Hunter off he cried and cried the worse part of it is that hes right next door and I could hear him every time he cried. I had tears in my eyes and sucked it up and went in to my new classroom. Things are ran way differently then I am use to and this makes it difficult to keep an open mind. The children were sweet and the Teachers I work with are nice so that made a little eaiser.

First off i don't agree with some of the rules regarding no breaks or overtime and of course you sign off on that and are heavily encouraged to do so. Hum Okay.... The disinfect the place with a micro fiber cloth and water yep I said water okay that's really going to disinfect a washroom swimming in pee and poop, eating surfaces and not to mention all the germs floating around on the floor. Okay.. I feel like I need to either see past this or make changes well then... I observed these over worked tired older ECE (Teachers) just going through the motions in Hunters class. They load up all the babies and toddlers in to strollers not saying a word well they are all screaming their heads off do they bother to reassure them or sing to them, Sad okay .... Then I pick up Hunter its probably 35 degrees out and hes in pants WTF I packed shorts hes dripping sweat and red in the face, OKAY!!! and no water bottle in site. NOT OKAY!! I march in his room and nicely suggest that he needs to be dressed appropriately for the weather and have water out with him at all times!!!! URG!!!
So I am now a little concerned and confused of where to go from here. Do I stick it out and see if things get better with my influences and suggestions. Do I get the out of dodge and go some where else, where they is not much of an option?? Or do I open my own home day care again. These all come with their own set of problems and I just need to wait, digest and think and of course I ll keep you all posted....
Despite and exhausting week we manage to have a relaxing beautiful weekend.
Radium hot spring on Saturday and Sunday water play and relaxing time. I love watching how much Hunter looks up to Hayden and really watches everything he does. I really Love how Hayden is always laughing and being silly he such a kind hearted play full boy.


With a Beautiful Background

















We enjoyed our lazy Sunday Funday

Another chapter in my life story has began and I am feeling anxious. I start work tomorrow after 19 wonderful months at home with my boys and the day care kids. It wasn't always easy but i did love the extended time I got to enjoy watching hunter grow. Hes become such a little boy now with opinions needs and wants. I am excited for him to meet new friends and get the full day care experience, I am excited for some one else to experiences hi temper tantrums and wild emotional moods swings. I am sad to not have all the cuddles and watch all of his beautiful moments during the day but this is life and here we go.

We moved successfully across the Provence on B.C. Day long weekends and drove one crazy winding road that felt like it had a death wish for us with the rock slides and cliffs with every twist and turn. As I drove with Hunter and 8 fish in a bucket Doug drove with Hayden and the dog we experienced on fish death and the Dog got car sick (of course only our dog would do that)I felt excitement and aw as we moved through B.C. Beasutiful moments....
Whenever Hunter hears a loud Motor he get excited and says Daddy (the muffler of Dougs car fell off) its too cute he get so excited to see his daddy.














































We spent a week of unpacking and getting acquainted with the beach bum life in Invermere. The weather was refreshing and the boys enjoyed splashing in the water and swimming and fishing.
Hayden received a fishing rod for his birthday from us and still has yet to catch in Whistler or Invermere but has had fun trying...





































































































































































Beautiful moments....



The boys have been tough together lately fighting biting (Hunter biting Hayden )and always yelling I think they are sick of each other and being board while in the House because I am organising and not playing. I am excited for Nana visit as their will be some one else around for them to enjoys and I guess working will make our time more special because i will be excited to see them and be with them at the end of the day.

Celebration!

This past weekend was Hayden's Birthday Party! He turns 7 on Friday!!I cant believe that for 7 years I have been a Mother. I have walking down the path of sleepless nights, to night waking, night mares, diapers changing, potty training, pushing around in a stroller, to riding teaching how to ride a two Wheeler, Nurse maid and knowing that when all else fails just put a band aid on it and seal with a kiss (even if there is no blood) , to cook that never know what to make the pickiest eater, to laughing crying and snuggling, back rubbing, story reading, play partner and partner in crime. I dont really know where seven years went but I do know that i enjoyed every last moment even the ones that I never thought we would make it through.

I was so Happy to spend the day at the beach with 9 of his friends, even though I didn't plan games or and big party favors the kids enjoyed coaxing Hayden to jump in the frigged water, having a water balloon fight, making a sand castle and playing a the park. The weather could not have been better it was so nice out. I so needed a day in the sun just laughing and watching my big boy have so much fun.
