Good evening friends and fans of my blog :) Well, for the past 3 lovely days, I've been off of work. Why you ask? My older bro's kid Alex stayed by my parent's for a few days while his school was getting ready. So my mom and I took him and Mia to the zoo on Monday. Both kids had a great time, despite it being pretty damn hot. Alex wanted to ride the train with Mia but I was uncertain she'd enjoy it. The flipped the first and only time she was on the carousel. When the train came in with my mom and Alex on it, she got nervous and kept saying "NO..NO....NO!" On the short drive home, Mia passed out in the car. I took her in and she slept off all the excitement from her fun day with her cousin and grandma at the zoo. Later after dinner, Jill, Alex, Mia, my Mom and I took the kids to the pool. After 6, Cool Waters is slightly cheaper. It gets a little cooler after 6, but it's still a good way to cool off. I took Alex down the water slides (about 6 times) and Mia got upset when she saw him go down because SHE wanted to share the excitement with daddy. Afterwards, Mia suggested Kopps for custard. The kids totally loved it.
Tuesday, Mia and I went over to visit my dad in the morning. The kids played with Legos, kicked the soccer ball around, played with toys, had some lunch, overall a great time was had. I later asked Alex what was his favourite part of his visit, he told me "just hanging her with Mia". Very cute. He's such a nice, smart little nephew. My favourite part was when he told Mia "Peace out homey" when they said goodbye.
So back to the daily grind tomorrow. It's been nice spending nights with Jill & Mia. Her parents are visiting this weekend. Mia will be stoked to see them. Tonight after grocery shopping, we walked around Steffans and Baby's R Us. For a part-time job on Saturdays, I'd love to work at Steffans, even though they're never busy, but it'd be fun to work and watch soccer games. Ha! Man do I miss playing soccer. Maybe Spring 2013...
That's all for now. Cheers friends :)
