I guess I've kind of been slacking off lately. I certainly haven't done a very good job of updating my blog. In my defense, I have been pretty sick for the past week but I am slowly getting better.
Cameron and I made it back to SK safe and sound just over a week ago. Cameron was an excellent traveller and didn't cause any problems the whole trip home. I had many people, flight attendants and other passengers, comment on what a good boy he was. He actually slept the majority of the way from Toronto to Saskatoon which allowed me to watch a movie on the flight. I had just finished reading "My Sister's Keeper" so I decided I might as well watch the movie. I had been told that the book was much better than the movie and I absolutely agree. We arrived on time in Saskatoon and Cory was very happy to see us. It turns out he had been at the airport for almost 2 hours prior to our arrival...I guess it's safe to say he has the "I can hardly wait's!" We didn't have to wait long for our luggage and we were on our way. We made a trip through the Wendy's drive-thru and stopped for gas and then headed for Sturgis. It was a very long day and I was very tired when we finally got home. Cameron actually fell asleep on the drive home so I just changed him into pj's and put him into bed.
The night after we got back to SK, we went to an 80's party at Tyler and Sarah's. Cameron came too but he was asleep before we got there and slept in Tyler and Sarah's bed throughout the whole party. Everyone was amazed that he could sleep through all of the noise but he's a trooper. The party was lots of fun and everyone's 80's outfits were awesome. We stayed out way too late though and I was super tired on Sunday but we had to go to Yorkton for groceries. By Sunday night, Cory had a full blown cold and by Monday night, I had the very same thing. So, we've had a pretty yucky with with lots of coughing, sneezing and blowing of the nose. Cameron seems to have only gotten a very mild cold compared to what we were dealt. We're all on the mend now though and I'm hoping to be all better by Monday...*fingers crossed*.
The day before I was to leave PEI, I went and got my nose pierced. Turns out it wasn't the best timing since I ended up with such a nasty cold only a few days later. However, I am very pleased with my new jewellery! I didn't tell anyone I was going to get it done and just waited for everyone to notice. Mom was the first to see it and I was surprised by the fact that she actually seemed to like it...at least a little bit. Cory noticed it as soon as he saw me in the airport and he said he likes it too.
Cameron went to nursery school this week for the first time in about a month. He missed 3 weeks because we were gone away. He was excited to go but wasn't too keen on putting on his Halloween costume when we arrived...even though it was a Halloween party and everyone else was dressed up. He finally agreed and he was dressed as a mountie, or Daddy according to Cameron, for the party. He had a great time at the party and came home with lots of treats. He was so funny when we got home though...as soon as we came through the door he looked up at me and said, "I don't want to be Daddy anymore, I want to be Cameron again." This was his request to remove the mountie outfit...so funny.
Otherwise, we've had a pretty uneventful week because we haven't been feeling great. Last night Cory carved two pumpkins for Cameron. He made the mistake of letting Cameron pick out the designs and ended having to carve the two most difficult patterns from the book that he had bought. I laughed and watched as he took almost two hours to complete the carving. The pumpkins turned out awesome though and Cameron was super happy! Trick-or-treating begin when Cory gets home from work this evening. Cameron is going as a dragon and we're hoping he'll be a little more willing to go out than he was last year. Last year it took us over an hour to convince him to put on his costume and go trick-or-treating. I'm thinking tonight will go a little more smoothly because he now seems to understand the whole concept much better. He also told me, "this is the best Halloween ever!" He seriously cracks me up!
I actually just got all of the Halloween treats set out for the trick-or-treaters. Apparently, trick-or-treating is set to begin at 2pm here in Sturgis and go until dark. Why you ask? The answer is simple, the people in this small town we live in are a little strange at times. It's no big deal though as I'll be here all day doing pretty much nothing. Last year we only had about 8 trick-or-treaters and then we had to eat all the treats ourselves which was very rough, ugh. Cory just called and has suggested we make a trip down to Canora when he gets off work. It seems Cory and Tyler came up with an idea, amazing as that sounds, and they will take Cameron trick-or-treating and I can visit with Sarah while she passes out treats. I guess we'll see what the afternoon brings and I'll decide what we will do for the evening.
I suppose that pretty much covers the happenings in our lives lately.
Until next time...
