Kody had to go in to work super early today and Haylee was heading out of town to attend a concert overnight so she dropped both girls off to us quite early, right after 7 am.
We were actually still in bed when she arrived.
So we got up, had coffee and just hung out with the girls.
Freya kept asking for Hunter to come over so we invited him to come over.
When he got there, he told us that he was moving to Sparwood, BC.
His mom decided to move there with he and his sister.
I was so shocked and upset - and I'm sure my brother is as well.
I just couldn't get it off my mind all day.
It's 8 hours away so it's not likely we'll be seeing them very often after they move so they'll become like strangers and Hunter is my little buddy - I just have this soft spot for him.
We'll have to make an effort to get out there and visit him every couple months but it just won't be the same.
We took the kids for a walk and ended up at the park and Eden tried out the swing.
There's my little Hunty Wunty.
I love how she's just chilling with her arm up on the seat like she's so relaxed.
I love her little jeans too - they looked so adorable on her.
Just a swinging.
Already into the phone.
We stopped for ice cream before heading home.
I love Hunter's big smiles he gives when I ask him to pose for a picture.
Jason - he found these tank tops for a great price so tried them out for running and really likes them.
They look good on him too.
Freya was jumping from one cement block to another.
She's been doing this for as long as we've been coming to the store.
She can jump some of them alone now but some are a bit further apart so she still needs some help from Papa.
She doesn't really care if there's anything playing on the phone, she just likes to have it and it normally ends up in her mouth at some point.
Jason played the Gummy Bear song for her - she really likes that one.
When we got back home, I sanded back the pumpkins I'm working on a bit and glued on some stems.
Jason got the animatronic out that he just bought to put together.
Eden was helping him.
She's a great helper.
Kody got home later in the day and he said he has to go back out to work at 4 am and needed us to watch the girls again tomorrow so I said they might as well stay the night instead of him having to wake them up in the middle of the night to bring them over.
He did take Eden home for a couple hours though then brought her back just before bed time.
Freya had wanted Hunter to spend the night and he was going to but then he got sad about moving so Mel decided to keep him home for the night but I promised Freya we'd have a sleep over with him next weekend - she's going to miss him as much as I am I think.
They have such a sweet relationship.
I didn't get my steps in - April - get with the program!!!
I still have my booth down at the Home Hardware - it has been a long time since I took anything down there.
I think I'm going to close up shop there after Christmas but first I want to take some of my Fall/Halloween stuff from last year down there to see if any of it will go.
So that's what I did first thing this morning, I took all the Easter and other random stuff I had there back home and replaced it.
It would be nice if some of it sold.
Then I stopped over at Nadine's to help her out with a couple signs that she was making.
She decided to start using the permanent vinyl instead of painting but she weeded out the wrong sections so I went and recut them for her and fixed a few signs.
I did a short run on the treadmill,
Not the hardest workout but better than nothing for sure.
I have another rolling pin that I'm going to decorate up for Christmas so I sanded it and got a coat of red paint on the handles.
Then I decided to make a few easy pumpkins to add to my booth.
I found some wood scraps and got a coat of orange paint on them.
I had this at the booth last year but I didn't like the embellishments I had on it so I brought it home, took it all off so I could start over.
Then I also worked on the last muffin tin that I had and got it all decorated up.
I don't know if it will sell but I sure love how it turned out.
Then in the evening, Jason and I watched a couple more episodes of The Umbrella Academy before calling it a night.
He sent me this picture of himself doing some sprints.
Meanwhile I stayed back at the room with Freya - we were up late so she slept in late and I just watched tv while I waited for her to get up.
When Jason got back from his run, we took her down for a quick swim in the pool before checking out.
The very first thing we did after that was go for ramen - Freya's favorite.
She wanted to go to the one with the fishies which is Hu's Noodle Nook - they have a big aquarium right in the entrance and she likes checking out the fish.
I had my go to - Tan Tan.
I love it.
We must have been feeling very hungry because we also ordered shrimp tempura.
Spring rolls.
And this rice/crab dish that I really like.
We heard that the Spirit of Halloween store was open so that was our next stop.
Freya just loves that store.
First we checked out all the new animatronics.
Jason ended up buying this little girl that jumps and scares you when you walk by.
My blow dryer died the day that we left for BC and I finally ordered myself a new one a couple days ago.
It arrived today and I'm looking forward to trying it out.
Also just to doing my hair - I've been wearing a ponytail everyday since there isn't much else I can do without a blow dryer and diffuser, my hair just gets to frizzy.
Dee sent me an update on the headstone for my father,
It's in and I think it looks great.
It's Haylee's birthday today so after supper, Jason and I walked over there to give her her birthday card.
It was a nice day so they were all outside.
Such a smiley girl.
Side Note - I had a shower and did my hair before we went down so I could try out my new blow dryer.
It doesn't have as much blowing power as I would like but it works fine so I'm happy.
I just want to give her so many kisses.
The look on her face though - not sure if she's enjoying it, don't think she's quite sure either.
Freya wanted to come back to our place for a sleep over of course and since Jason is off tomorrow we let her.
Kody, Haylee and the girls all went for a trip to the city yesterday for Haylee's birthday and Freya got a new 'Stanley' and she just loves it.
It isn't a real Stanley, that's just what she calls it - I have no idea how she heard of Stanley cups?
The birthday girl turned 25 today.
I saw this on Instagram today and it cracked me up, it's kind of exactly how I feel.
