holiday

Wednesday afternoon we headed to saskatoon ( 2 1/2 hours away). Several months ago M and A were really into watching the doodlebops...a kids show...they sing and dance!
I saw that they were doing a live show in saskatoon so i got tickets. They hadn't watched them for a while lately so i was wondering if they would still enjoy it. They did!
We took an extra day and did some visiting with friends and family too. Kens aunt and uncle live in saskatoon and they had not met the kids yet. We arrived wed in time for supper. We had a great meal and the kids actually behaved really well. We had a good visit and headed to the hotel for night. We had a hard time finding a hotel room as beyonce was in town for a concert.....yes we picked doodlebops over beyonce...my how our lives have changed.
Thurs am m and A woke at their usual 7am. even though it was 10 before they got to sleep.
We went to the restaurant for breakfast and then planned to swim and waterslide. Unfortunatly the waterslides didn't open until 4pm. We swam....after ken went shopping for little swimmer diapers. Mya would have been fine without but not Aiden. Ken had to go to 3 different stores to find any. So we swam for a couple of hours and headed back to our room.
Oh ya our room. We had asked for a room with 2 beds. The best they could do when i booked was a king and a sofabed. When we arrived at the hotel they said...hmmm..looking for our reservation, i had booked it on line. Apparently they didn't have the room we requested so they upgraded us to a suite...awwww!
It worked really well with the kids they had more room to play.
So after our swim we got company. A friend that i had been in contact with for some time , who also adopted from the same orphanage came to see us at the hotel. Her son come home a month before m and a and they are the same age. They were in the same building and room as he was , so i am guessing they have played together before. I will post pictures of them together if ok'd by his mom.
So after lunch and a visit they headed home and we all needed a nap. We slept for an hour and then it was time to get ready for the big concert!
We had told M and A that it might be loud so even before we got inside aiden was plugging his ears. He did not take his fingers out until the concert started.....lol.
I think they were in some kind of audio/video overload. they just sat and looked for the first half. The second half of the show they got up and danced and clapped. Aiden kept waving at them and yelling HI!!! hahaha.
Friday am we did a little shopping at Old navy and then went to another friends house for lunch.
2 of her kids had a day off of school so that worked really well. They played for an hour or so and we headed back on the road home. Aiden and i caught a sinus cold so he slept most of the way home. Mya was tired too but took her a lot longer to fall asleep.
Home sweet, home now.....
Tired and sick...i am home from work today. Hopefully will go back tomorrow.
