Travels around Ottawa

The children and I went to the Papanack zoo two weekends ago. Grant was sleeping during the day cause he worked midnights and I thought I'd let him have some quite.

Papanack Zoo is about 30 mins from our house. It's quite a nice zoo with lots of animals. The day was really hot when we visited, so we only stayed for a little over an hour. Mason really liked the Arctic wolf and the Jaguar.

Grant took the children to Little Ray's Reptile Zoo. Mason let a tarantula walk on his hand. The zookeeper said that he was the bravest child. No other child has let the spider walk on his hand!

I am going to be taking them back there today. I am leaving work at 12:30. My babysitter has an important appt today and I had some vacation I could take!

Still doing it

I am still nursing Eve! I thought I'd let it go when she turned 1 but I haven't. I had such a hard time first doing it, that I dont' want to give it up. I know I don't need to do it, but I think it's going to be time soon. I nurse her when I get home from work and during the night. Yes, she still wakes up at night to nurse. She is only doing this for comfort. I've got to find a way to make her sleep during the night. Maybe once I finish nursing, she won't get up at night because she know's she wont have it.

Well, I am proud of myself for doing it for a whole year and a bit!

weird

Grant's dad called on yesterday and told us that Grant made the front page of the Globe and Mail. There was a picture of a Canadian soldier working on a vehicle, and the name of the soldier is "grant wagar"
He is even a corporal, which is what Grants rank is in the navy. And the other Grant has a bald head even.
Crazy eh??? Grant got an email from a friend telling him to be safe while over there.
LOL.

2 weeks at lee valley

Wow, i've been there for two weeks already. I've been busy since day 1, so the time has gone fast.

I did notice a trend at work though. If anyone watches Seinfeld, they'll know what i'm talking about. We have cake for just about any occasion. LOL. On my first day, someone made pumpkin squares. On Wednesday, a girl i work with had her bday and they made a cake. Yesterday was another ladies last day and we had cake for her. Gosh, I'm gonna gain weight.

I am really enjoying working there. It's definilty different than what I'm used to. At my previous jobs, I was used to answering the phones every 5 mins. Now I maybe get 1 call a day, and it 's usually just from someone else in the company that I need to get some info from.

I havent bought anything yet from there..but gardening season is coming up and I want to garden!!!
