Coaldale Cartoons

Sorry about not having any pictures, but it seems when there is a picture to be taken, I don`t have my camera with me!! Typical - oh well, I`m not much of a photographer anyway.
Being here in Coaldale is sure different - seems so far away from home and I miss Pap sooooooo much. Other than that - all is well on the home front, Tracy. Just thought I`d tell you some of the things that we`ve done:

Had a picnic outside, the weather was so beautiful, only there were a few bees pestering us, and kind-of freaking the boys out, but it was fun all the same.
Attend Women`s Society with the boys - and enjoy that very much!
I`m sure the boys will be looking forward to mom`s cooking again, because Oma cooks different than mom - it doesn`t taste the same. But to compensate, we get an icecream dessert every night - sometimes milkshakes, sometimes banana splits, sometimes just plain old icecream.
The boys enjoy watching Pluto or Mickey Mouse video clips on u-tube, keeps them calm just before supper.
We do their home shared readers every day and sing the song they have to learn and Ethan does his spelling and studying other homework. (Can`t believe what they have to study already in Grade one)
Go for walks and play in the park.
Watch a movie on Friday night while Oma makes us popcorn - what a hoot! and we get to go to bed late.
Anyway, just wanted to keep you all up to date with what I`m doing - the kids are sure looking forward to mom coming home - I told them only 7 more days!! THE COUNTDOWN IS ON!!!!
