It's 10:30 on Wednesday evening and I'm snuggled up with Nory on the couch. She's watching Baby Alive videos on YouTube (don't ask) and I'm eating some After Eights (hi Nan!) to keep me awake as I write this post. This post, by the way, could alternatively be titled "December 28/29/30" because I'm going to be lazy and combine three trip days into one. Truth being, I have little energy to spare tonight after dealing with diarrhea in not one, BUT BOTH, Parkinson children. Did I mention it was our first night as JUST US FOUR at the apartment? #bestfamilynightever #ha
(Last night was equally as hilarious as Nory remarked, "Mom! I love your hair. It is SO BEAUTIFUL!" And just as my heart began to melt, she leaned in closer, took a big whiff, and exclaimed, "but it smells like poo, though.")
Motherhood. SO FUN, you guys!
Anyways, we cheered on Canada in back-to-back games on Monday and Tuesday night. Our dedication to making signs remains strong and we've had to return to the stationary store to pick up more black and red markers for the cause. Cardboard remains easily available in the recycling bin out back and we've lucked out with all of the boxes remaining from Christmas.
Team Canada won both games, although we didn't see the finish of the game versus Switzerland last night. The girls had pretty much had it with only 3 minutes to go in the third period and, although it was tied 2-2, it was one of those situations where we knew we better not push it any longer. Sometimes you gotta suck it up and miss the exciting shoot-out. Sometimes you have to be a 100% parent. GASP!
Before I sign off here, it must be said that CANADA FANS are the BEST. Likely, the best in the world :) There's nothing like a sea of red and white in a country that's not your own. TRUE PATRIOT LOVE, my friends.
And now, PICTURES (because you know darn well I have a ridiculously excessive amount of pictures on my camera roll just waiting to be posted right here for you to love 'em like I do):
