Camp Night

Before I get into camp night, let me share this picture that I took of her that totally made me laugh. She is trying to shoot hoops, and cannot figure out why her ball won't go in the net. Totally unaware that for now, she has shrimpy legs. She eventually turns to me and says "Mom! Lift me up there!" and wasn't impressed when she still couldnt get it in even after I lifted her haha!

Librarian came to MMO and Jen took this picture. So many good things here - Ady sitting in the corner, reading a separate book with Megan (who is the toddler whisper), the patient librarian with a kid climbing on her, and Q sitting on Ashley, who is happy for the cuddles and just so kind with the kids. Love this!

She has been so art these days - colouring and painting and stickers and anything she can make. I recently showed her glitter glue and I thought she may pee her pants with excitement haha

Friday of Camp Night Jon took Q down to Victoria with him at lunchtime, because he had to and help set up, and I had to work that afternoon. Hanna met him on the highway and took Q for the afternoon. She said they had a great time together! Hanna is always so eager to babysit and loves Quinnybear SO much, but the distance often makes it hard for us to take her up on her offers! So it was really nice for everyone that this worked out! They played at the park in the rain and ate at Subway, and had lots of fun!

Then Hanna dropped Q off at Aimee and Calea's and Aimee watched her overnight. We figured that would be easiest so that I could take in some of camp night once I got down, and we wouldn't have to wake her up to take her home. And Aimee seemed excited for a sleepover and also eager to have her. I love that we have family who are willing and excited to help us out and hang out with her once and while when we need it! Its such a good gift. They watched Beauty and the Beast, which Q loved since she loves EVERYTHING princesses! She is so crazy for princesses right now, and she came home talking all about Belle. Aimee said she was so great and went to bed awesome and was fun to have around. First sleepover a success! (thats also the first time she has slept anywhere not with us or with tim/lois)

I drove down after my shift and got there as the night was starting and right away saw this guy and as always he made us laugh and him and Jon had a great talk

Wildside represented! (on that note, Wildside registration is doing amazing! So nice to see this program really gaining traction and growing in popularity)

Bedtime Pic! Cuties!

Classic!

They had a great turnout, and the boys ran a fun night! I love watching this team work and do what they are clearly very good at.

FUN!

Sharon texted and said that she was out with her sister and that they were going to get dessert and asked if I would want to join! YES PLEASE! I love seeing these two together - they are so similar and both just so lovely! It was a quick but fun outing!

Cleanup took forever (lots of people standing around and visiting and not super eager to clean and get out...I was also starving so maybe that made it take longer?! haha). I hadn't eaten dinner because Jon and I had planned to go out after camp night, but by the time cleanup was over, I WAS STARVING! The date night we had originally planned wasn't going to work out since it was too late, so we invited two of our favorite camp "kids" and their husbands to come eat with us. We went to Bin 4 for half price burgers but the line was SO LONG and a 45 min wait! No thanks! So we headed over to Red Robins and got food and laughed a lot. Its so nice to see these girls with men who love them and to see their marriages flourishing. Such special people to us. Also, it was after midnight when we were done, and it felt so weird to be out that late, and to be kidless! It was a good night all around!
