 Karley and Ian have gone away for the weekend... well part of the weekend and Granni and Grampa are in charge at the house. The adult kids needed a couple of days away, just the two of them; no little kids and no “old” folks and the Civic Holiday long weekend is a perfect opportunity to do just that. We were “broken in” on the "little kid" front when we took Makai to Yaletown for three nights so we were ready for looking after two.Karley and Ian left this morning; first for a company barbeque at Ian’s work, then onto Whistler for the weekend. They booked a nice condo in the village and have some hiking and relaxing plans for the next couple of days so they should be well rested when we see them later Sunday. By then we’ll be exhausted! (Just joking, I think!) On the home front, we went for a nice walk around the neighbourhood; visiting the turkeys at the farm around the corner, picking blackberries up the street and checking out the llama and the sheep at the farm over by the park. For everyone the afternoon was occupied with napping (Makai and Monet did and I really wanted to but had no time), playing in the backyard (Grampa, Monet and Makai) and preparing dinner (Monet and Granni). Time whizzed by and next thing we knew Monet was in bed for the night (she goes to bed at 7:00 after her bath) and Makai and Grampa popped corn and snacked on it until it was the Munchkin’s bath and bedtime. Here are the “boys” munching popcorn and intently watching “Max and Ruby”, one of Makai’s favourite shows.
