Saturday, DH the kids and I went for a car ride along the Richelieu (a river that runs near my house) and we went to my old family Cabin now owned my my uncle…. I hadn’t seen my uncle in years and he didn’t even recognize me right away and it was a little awkward at first but after a few minutes it got a lot cozier and it was really fun…
He brought us out on the boat and we sat and talked while the kids ran (and crawled) around…
On the way back home we decided to grab something to eat (St-hubert’s chicken) and stop at my MIL’s house to eat it… we stayed there for a few hours and then decided to make our way back home…
When we got home I came on the computer a bit and then made my way upstairs and I realized that I felt a bit dizzy… I watched a bit of TV with DH and then we decided to go to bed… I was still feeling a bitdizzy and then I started to have cramps and my stomach felt really hard… Then came the nausea and all of the other fun stuff… DH also had the same….
We are pretty sure it was food poisoning…
Yesterday was awful… I can’t describe it in any other way then that… AWFUL….
Today I feel weak but better… thank goodness… I couldn’t have stayed alone with the kids if I was still feeling like I did yesterday…

It’s Canada Day and nothing is happening… In this little Quebec city all of the festivities were last week for “La Fête Nationale”…. So We are going to have our own little Canada day festivities in our backyard… no fireworks though!! The neighbors would kill us!
Ah… the joys of being a proud English speaking Canadian in a small very French (99%+) Quebec town….
Hey the upside is that we get 2 long weekends in a row! Woohoo!

Isabelle came over with the 3 girls Today… 5 kids under the age of 5 can make you very dizzy!
We stayed in the house for a few minutes when they got here and then made our way to the park… the kids really had a lot of fun and We all got back to the house Starving… We made Wraps with BBQed Chicken, Zucchini, Yellow, red and orange peppers and coucous, a great spinach Salad and homemade Raisin-Bran Muffins and tons of Watermelon that turned out to be suprisingly sweet! Gabrielle (4 1/2) had about 6-7 slices of Watermelon and could have went for more!
After Lunch the kids wanted to go in the pool! Kids are Crazy!!! Today was a windy and cloudy 21 degrees (70) and the water was the the same temp at 21 (70) OMG it was freezing!!! their Lips turned blue but were full of smiles so the cold water was well worth it!!
Anyways… it is Raining now, everyone is gone and Xavier doesn’t want to nap.. I think he is getting at the age that nap time is starting to become an opitional thing… I just hope that sleep will come easily tonight…

As for the buisness stuff… I have a phone meeting with Suzanne from DT tommorrow morning and I got an E-mail this morning from the lady at Maman Kangourou asking about the region that I would like to work in to make sure they don’t have any other representatives and thankfully they don’t so I would be the first!! I really think that it is going to work out… I would be so happy if it did… I would love for babywearing to become more known around here..
Well.. Tomorrow is my meeting and then I am off to my cousins 3rd Birthday (I really am NOT in the mood) and it is St-Jean tommorow (Provincial holiday) and I am not looking forward to having drunks on the road while I make my way back tomorrow night with my family in tow…

OK… so we where completely spoiled the last few days… It has been above 30 since last week and humid and hot and swimming was the most enjoyable form of activity… Yesterday however it started to rain….
Now, It’s Cold and depressing outside and I have to keep the kids entertained indoors today…
Yesterday when Xavier was at Daycare I played with Colin and while he was napping I made Chocolate Chip Cookies and Cinnamon Buns… I love baking but I wish I had more counterspace sometimes… It would be so much more enjoyable…
