Although not part of the long weekend, Thursday at school was backwards day. So, Sydney picked out a hoodie to wear backwards. I talked her out of wearing all her clothes backwards & to focus only on the clothes that people see. A day is a long time to wear your underwear & pants backwards. She seemed to have lots of fun & it brought memories of childhood back to me...my favourite was pajama day though.
When the May long weekend is early as it was this year, you more often than not get really cold weather. This year was no exception, but we had plenty indoors to keep us busy. It was a very exciting event for Sydney & Jason. Sydney got a new-to-her bed (it was originally her great-grandparents bed), her "big, big girl bed" as she calls it.. I let her pick out her new bedding & she decided she wanted everything in yellow. Jason got his 'big boy bed' because we moved the bed from Sydney's room to its permanent location in Jason's room. When we originally bought this bed it was with the intent of eventually being in Jason's room.
His room was repainted to get rid of the baby green colour & I found bedding that I loved that allowed us to keep the blue ceiling (because painting over it will be a nightmare someday). Since Jason often does not adjust well to change, I was a little apprehensive about how all this change would be received. However, I worried for nothing. He keeps telling us that he loves his "woom", he loves his bed, he loves his paint, he loves his bedding- especially the tow trucks & dump trucks- it is a smashing success.
Luckily all this came together much quicker than I anticipated & we were able to get all the "work" done & do some fun things with the kids. The main attractions for the weekend were: (1) fireworks at Grandma & Papa's & (2) throwing stones in the water at Grindstone creek.
