We got a lot packed this weekend. About 20 pieces. Here the boys are playing amongst the overflow - most is stored in our pantry and in Grammie Gail's room.

Ivo is stressed out by the packing - poor guy. He's said "I just WANT my TOYS at my HOME!" in a kinda hopeless way. His mood and behavior are UP and DOWN. Plus his schedule has changed cuz he's not going to school his usual 3 days/week... He's holding up well but definitely cracking.

We're trying to spend time with him NOT packing, prepping or talking about it. Tomorrow's his half bday and we're gonna make a cake and go to the toy store. I'd promised myself/him we'd do something real this year because his half-birthday got pushed aside last year when we lost Patty - and instead, he's getting more gipped- cuz what he'd like is a party - but that's not possible with enterovirus and packing. Next year in Jerusalem! -I mean Fredericton!

On Sunday, we went to the baseball place - Ryan got a jersey and the kids got to play, play, play!

Drums.

Whack-a-mole.

Basketball.

And Burl's favorite by a long way, ten-pins.

We went to Spoon for dinner - Ivo got an oreo milkshake (which I found in the fridge today and mistook for do jiang... messy). Ivo got to water Karin's plants on the way.

Karin babysat today and will on Wednesday - such a wonderful help so we don't have to take the boys to school. Yay! Thank you thank you!

Bananas!
