It has been a good week, but I am thoroughly overwhelmed! I feel like I'm scrambling to get on top of things and not forget appointments (like when the realtor came over for an inspection today despite the fact that it's on my calendar and I've mentioned it twice in the last week). Mum and Geoff left on Wednesday morning. It was lovely having them up here. We saw them most days and spent some really fun times with them, playing games, playing darts and swimming in the pool (see the video below for proof of our family's blow-up pool pets abilities). Carmie cried when they left, as did Mum, and Arley is upset too but not talking to us about it. Hopefully they will be able to move up here soon.
We had some trampoline fun this week, and we also got to the beach, a new one that we hadn't been to before. The beaches here are a mess because of all the rains we have had, so they are not looking their best. We still went for a paddle and a play though, and the water was so warm. It was tough convincing Arley that we should all go to the beach, but once he got there, he had a really good time.
When it hasn't been raining, it has been stinking hot! Really humid and awful. I've been in the pool but everyone else just wanted to stay indoors in the air conditioning. Yesterday I took the kids to have their session with Clint at Chambers Island, and they loved it. He is so fun, and gets them climbing trees and jumping around, despite the heat. On Tuesday Arley saw Rob and tried his hand at kayaking. He hated it! So typical. But he had fun with the other boy who was there, so that was good. On Monday the kids had their mentors come over and both had good sessions. Arley says he is bored but that's pretty standard! And Carmie is always happy to see and play with her mentor.
So, it's been a good but exhausting week. Hoping next week is even better :)
Must watch video!
