Today was Brads Dads Birthday. We went over to his parents house yesterday where we celebrated a day early with all the kids. By kids I mean Brad, his sister Bri, Tim (Bri's boyfriend), myself, Zander, and of course their mom. It was a great get together. We laughed, shared some stories and had cake and ice cream. But today was his actual birthday and since we planned on making another visit, I wanted Zander to give his Grandpa something special. So we sat down at the table and made Grandpa a homemade birthday card. Zander was sooo proud. I had explained to him that it was for Grandpa and he was walking around with it afterwards saying "Ampa! Ampa! Ampa!". The cutest thing of life.
After making his card we took a quick snack break where he had some apple chunks and water. It's been so hot here than anything else sounded unappetizing. We finished snack and then got to work on his gift. A plack with a dragonfly that you could paint. Grandparents go crazy over homemade stuff since it comes straight from the heart, so I knew he would love it.
Once Brad got home from work we left for his parents house. Thankfully their place is air conditioned so it's always so nice to be there in the summer. Zander held Grandpas gift from the car all the way till we found him. They both were so proud and of course Grandpa loved it!
The rest of the evening pretty much consisted of chinese food, toddler talk, and watching an episode of Barney over, and over, and over again.
Around 7pm we headed out to my moms place to ask her if she could cat sit this weekend. We are going to Quebec to visit Brads Grandparents, so my mom agreed if we brought the cat to her place that she would watch her :).
We headed home about 8pm and Zander and Brad were in bed by 8:30pm. Brad has to get up at 4:30am for work on the weekdays so I always have the evenings to myself. It's kid of nice but some nights it would be nice to have him up for some company. It also doesnt help that I'm a night time cleaner and that when I want to clean our room I can't because Brad is sleeping. So tonight I settled on feeding my sweet kitty (shes actually 11yrs old), doing the dishes and mopping the kitchen floor. I have the H2O mop by Rubbermaid but I'm not totally happy with it. We have half tile floors and half hardwood and I feel like it just doesn't get our tiles clean. What mop do you use?
