another week... almost time for PEI!

Has it really been 10 days? It seems like I have written pretty recently. I always plan to do it on my break, but I either forget or I end up only getting a few minutes for my break if the kids dont go to sleep very quickly.
I just looked at my last post and I think mentally I wrote another post in between. I told you about going with our friends Pat and Ashley to someone's "camp" which is really a cottage. We met a lot of new people there and they were a lot of fun. We went for a walk and looked for a bunch of waterfall's and then we played games for the rest of the night. It was so much fun!
Then I sang with praise band in church on sunday. It was a lot of fun to do that again. But I was surprised at how different it is here than it was in PEI.
The rest of the week was pretty routine. Matt was supposed to go away for the night on Wednesday and then when I got home from work he was actually sitting on the couch. I was SO surprised. But the wierd thing was is that I had a feeling he was going to be home that night, i almost went to his work to double check that he wasnt there, but i figured that he would have called me at work if he needed to get a hold of me.
Thursday night I got my eyebrows done here and I was so happy with how the girl did them. I like them even better than when I got them done at Really You. Last night Matt and I babysat some girls from my old daycare. We had a lot of fun, the girls love Matt and they think he is the sillyest person ever. Then when they were in bed we played Nintendo Wii. HAHAHAHA thats all I have to say about that. I was not given talents to exceed in sports OR Nintendo.
Tonight we are having a going away party for Renata and Brian who are leaving really soon to go on Sea to Sea. Where Brian is going to Bike across the US and Renata is going to be part of the support team. She is going to be the grocery shopper and book keeper. All the bikers had to raise $10,000 and all of the money they raise goes directly to eliminate world hunger. The organizers already had corporate sponsors to cover the costs of feeding and getting the bikers across the states. The tour Ends in New jersey... so Dianna could go and see them... haha.
Anyway. I have to make some food for tonight yet. I hope you all have a really great week and I will post again soon. Love you all!
Matt and Amanda

Sounds like you guys had a fun but busy week-end. We just got home from Sussex, Karen had a great show. I think she was surprized at how well Meg did since she has been busy with school and wasn't able to ride as much as she would normally to get ready for a show.Looking forward to seeing you guys on the week-end. Can't wait to see the new eye brows:).Hope you both have a great week. Love Dad
