Christmas wish lists!

Aidan's mostly reads: wii, pokemon, wii, DS game, wii, wii, wii, wii (guess what he really wants!)

Connor thinks Santa will know what he really wants but a dog would be nice.

Delaney wants a doll that pees and poops and a digital pet.

Santa is going to have a hard time this year! All the wii's in Winnipeg are sold out.

Yikes!

Away for the weekend

We're going to the water slide part in the States this weekend. The kids are excited although Delaney is going to miss one of her friends' birthday parties. She's excited about going away though, so not too disappointed. She and I are going to slide together down the tube slide. I think the last time we went was 3 years ago, the kids would have been in grades 2, K and nursery school. We thought Aidan was so big he could wander on his own. And he did, he ran with the boys a fair amount. Then he came with Delaney and I and rode the tube slide. That's when we flipped half way down and they thought it was hilarious. I was trying to make sure nobody drowned!

Connor just came in and he's ripped the knees out of his pants. Delaney came in with her ski pants covered in mud. It's +8 today - what was she doing wearing ski pants? I asked her, and she said her pants would have gotten that dirty if she wasn't wearing them. Well, no. There is the alternative of staying out of the puddles! Or not sliding on your knees down a hill. Deep sigh. I guess I can wash and patch them...

Dance tonight, then cleaning - they each need to raise $6 to build a well in India but they are supposed to work for it. I'm hoping Mom has some odd jobs they can do to raise the money, I don't think they'll actually work for me! Too bad there's no snow, I could send them to the neighbours to shovel driveways. :)
