On Wednesdys night Jonathan went to watch a movie with his friend and o I spent the night just enjoying the girls! One of my friends Shashank stopped by to visit and it was nice to catch up! I love how children are so loving and accepting because Jessa constantly would say to Shashnak you are my friend!! I like you. I loved how her example taught me that children are so welcoming and so accepting! They don't care if a person is rich or poor or what they look like they are just happy to talk and be accepted and accept others.
On Thursday we had another action packed day of going to first visit Brina in the morning! The kidlets played for about an hour and then we went to Molly's school for colour fest where the kids painted with their feet, jumped on packing bubbles, and chased after hula hoops! It was a great morning ton catch up with Brina and see her after so long! I was sad when we had to leave and she said bye! It was then we were off to the dentist for happy visits for the girls and a cleaning and check up for me as it had been over 2.4 years. The girls did really well even though Jessa said the cleaner was yucky and that Adaya was over the visit in 3.5 seconds.. I ended up having a pretty see cavity and so on Saturday afternoon I had to head back and get some work done on it.. It was pretty awful and I vowed I would never eat cookies or candy again!
Now Friday seems to need a post all on its own because of how fun that everyone had and that Jessa is sill praying about how thankful she is for the dinosaurs should say a lot!! The Royal Tyrell Mueseum is a place I will never regret spending money or my time! When I had originally planned our Drumheller day I had thought we would only spend an hour there but the Mueseum is so well planned out that we spent over three hours there! The girls loved looking at all the dinosaur fossils and just the amazing fossils and things there. I can't even explain how cool it is but I know that Jessa loved it because she asks me every day if we can go back and prays over the dinosaurs every day! I wonder if jessa's love and interest of dinosaurs will lead her to become a paleontologist! Only time will tel.
Saturday we ended up staying over at my parents house and then I had a dentist's appointment to fix some cavities I had gotten. I had been pretty stressed because I was going out with a new dentist who turned out to be so kind, loving, and gentle! His demeanour reminded me a lot of how Heavenly Father would be because he continually checked up on me to see how I was doing and just spoke with so much kindness. We ended up packing up our stuff at Jonathan's parents house and then returning to my mom's house where we set the night and left the next morning to be able to get back and have a day to just unwind before Jonathan went back to work!
Originally we had discussed going to Mexico as our family trip but decided to not brave it and be on a plane with three under the age of four on a six hour flight. It seemed to be a very disappointing decision at the beginning because it wasn't as relaxing as doing the mini day trips but I truly came to learn that a family vacation should be memories that everyone will hold in their hearts and cherish. How much fun and the memories the girls have and talk about still made all those mini day trips worth it!
