Slacking

When I started this blog, I had full intentions to write at least a few times a week to keep everyone updated on the happenings in our lives, etc. However, it seems that has proven to be somewhat difficult for me. I'm really not sure why...it must have something to do with my super busy schedule and life. Ha ha, yeah right! Maybe I'll just use the excuse that there hasn't really been as much happening as I had hoped for...yes, that's what I'm going to go with!

Cory had this past weekend off so it was family time for the three of us. Friday we headed into Yorkton for groceries and some other shopping of course. We did manage to get in and out of Walmart without a new toy for Cameron but no without a new movie. I'm pretty sure the movie purchase was just as much for Cory as it was for Cameron though. Although, I will say Cameron spotted the movies, grabbed in off the shelve and put it in the cart. The movie was "Up" and it's actually not a bad movie, as we watched it as a family on Friday evening. I also got the movie "The Ugly Truth" and Cory and I finally watched it last night. I must say that we quite enjoyed it. I laughed so hard I almost cried a few times...definitely a good movie. I'm still not sure about all the hype over Gerard Butler though...oh well.

Saturday consisted of organizing, cleaning and decorating. Cory changed all of the burnt out bulbs on our outdoor Christmas lights, which were hung about 2 weeks ago. We finally got a new DVD storage unit so I rearranged the office and organized all of our movies...pretty soon we'll have enough open our own movie rental store I'm sure. I'm still sticking with the excuse that movies are generally our only source of entertainment in Sturgis and that's why we have so many! We also put out our Christmas decorations throughout the house including Cameron's little Christmas tree. We'll hold off putting up our big tree for another couple of weeks though. The house looks very festive now and Cameron is loving it!

Sunday was a pretty lazy day in the Dowling household. I have to confess that I actually didn't get out of bed until almost 1pm...and I honestly can't remember the last time I stayed in bed so late. I was tired though after a whole week of very late nights and thankfully, Cory let me sleep in. Of course, I had many visits from Cameron throughout the morning for various reasons. Overall, I think we had a pretty productive and decent weekend.

This morning Cameron kept asking to go to school...he's been asking for over a week and there was no school last week due to Remembrance Day. I finally asked him why he wanted to go to school and his response was, "to see the kids" and then I started crying. He just breaks my heart sometimes. We feel so bad that he really doesn't have any friends here to play with. Although, Cory and I try to play with him and keep him occupied, we obviously just aren't the same as playing with other kids. There are kids in the town that are his age but it seems difficult to become friendly with the other mothers when you're the cop's wife. They assume I know their business and generally if there is anything to be known, they would be right. It makes things a little tricky. So today, Cameron and I were crafty and made Chistmas trees and a Santa's hat...then he was bored and went to play with his Transformers.

Until next time...
