We are sitting in my sister’s Salt Spring cabin. The fire is lit, we’ve had a cup of tea, the view is amazing and the kids are (so far) playing together quite contentedly. We’ve bought our groceries and the only things we have left to do are relax, eat dinner, put the kids to bed and relax a little more. Very nice.
We came over this morning, took the dog for a walk at Duck Creek Park, and then the kids and I played in the Ganges playground while Greg shopped for supplies. We had to deal with a fair amount of whining from Amy, but the morning was still nice.
I’m really enjoying going for walks with the kids these days. Elliot rarely complains and Amy has had a few walks now where she hasn’t once asked to be picked up. Today’s walk was preceded by a lot of “I don’t like Duck Creek” from Amy but as soon as we started her mood improved greatly (how could it not, on this gorgeous day?) and we all had a great time. In the car afterward she announced that she loved Duck Creek. Thankfully Greg and I often see the humour in her mood swings.
So, back to my relaxing…
