What a nice start to a Monday morning - the daughter came home around 7:00, with a nice steamed milk for me and ready to help out. Mind you, it didn't take long for her to climb into bed for a nap, when I said I had to take the son to soccer and get groceries first. To her credit she did offer to help with both, but unfortunately I needed to be at soccer to sign kids in, and the grocery bill would have been twice the amount if she had helped. I'll be home in plenty of time to find stuff for us to do!!!!!
Then came into my office this morning to another surprise. The son (that wasn't the surprise because he's always in my office sitting at my desk), but he had a needle and thread and was trying to repair a hole in his soccer stuff. I offered my help and at first he turned me down. After 10 minutes he took me up on the offer and I can see why. He really wasn't getting very far. He threaded his needle; tied the knot in the needle hole and was working with a single thread. I was done in 30 seconds. Lesson learned - do it really bad and your mom will help!
So dropped the son off at soccer; signed in the kids and headed to Superstore. I got a recipe from Auntie Iris for her dumplings so I am going to try and make those tomorrow. Bought all the ingredients.
The son got home early from soccer due to the lovely weather in Calgary. I guess there was hail the size of golf balls.
The son and I headed to Market Mall searching for a birthday gift for the girlfriend. Found the gift, but we both ended buying stuff. Then it was straight to the soccer game. Lost 5 - 0, but the boys played not to bad. They had effort, but the other team was on fire.
Now I'm home and ready for bed.
