Friendship
None of that Sissy Crap
Are you tired of those sissy "friendship" poems that always sound good, but never actually come close to reality? Well, here is a series of promises that actually speak of true friendship. You will see no cutesy little smiley faces on this card- Just the stone cold truth of our great friendship.
1. When you are sad -- I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against The sorry dude who made you sad.
2. When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
3. When you smile -- I will know you are plotting something that I must be involved in.
4. When you are scared -- I will rag on you about it every chance I get.
5. When you are worried -- I will tell you horrible stories about how much Worse it could be until you quit whining.
6. When you are confused -- I will use little words.
7. When you are sick -- Stay the heck away from me until you are well Again. I don't want whatever you have.
8. When you fall -- I will point and laugh at your clumsy a$$.
9. This is my oath.... I pledge it to the end. "Why?" you may ask; "because you are my friend".

Centreville
We headed over to Centreville on Tuesday. I had never been so it was quite a surprise on how big it was and also how nice. We had a wonderful time. Sydney went on almost every ride too including the roller coaster. She looked a bit scared but after said she liked it.
Here are some pics.

Green solutions
I've only got a moment but I got this emailed to me and I hope everyone at least tries to do as much of these as possible. I know we could do much better but we try. I can't wait until fall when we get our green bins.

Bob the Builder
We went to the mall yesterday to see Bob the Builder and had a great time.
Sydney also got to play with Millene and Nicholas in the playground where they all had a great time. It's too bad there were so many kids.
It was nice to catch up with Adriana about work as well.
Here are a couple of pics. The photo at the mall was free - it's just to bad it wasn't actually with Bob. Oh well.
Today, Sydney was helping Devin eat. We have to keep an eye on her because we never know what she is going to give him - including chocolate cake the other day. However, today she was actually feeding him his lunch. I think that just makes him love his sister more.

Ice cream truck stuck!
Sydney has a new obsession which is ice cream. Now who could blame her since I have always loved it too. She would eat it all the time if allowed and that truck that used to wake her now is a favorite because it brings ice cream.
However, she now announces since last week that the Ice cream truck is stuck. I'm guessing she remembers seeing this on Dora and so assumes that because the truck is not here, it is stuck. I haven't explained that it is selling ice cream to other people instead since it may be easier down the road to explain why it isn't here. I know, not a good mothering strategy to lie to your child but sometimes you've got to do what you've got to do.
So, a few days ago she added that "Ho Ho" would get it out. Now, she met Santa when she was 9 months old but I'm sure doesn't remember him and for Christmas last year, he really had no impact on her world. However, she found a photo of her and Santa and for awhile has been saying that it is the Little Man and Ho Ho. We've explained that it is actually her and Santa but she insists it's Ho Ho. Why she has decided that Ho Ho will get the ice cream truck out, I have no idea but it sure is cute to hear it. Where do they get such things sometimes?

Back from the Delawana
We had an awesome weekend at the Delawana and I can't say enough nice things about the place.
Sadly we didn't take many pictures. Probably because we were so caught up in doing stuff although we hardly did any of the activities that they had planned. With little kids who need naps and early bed times it is tough. However, to be honest early bedtimes were good for us too because we needed the sleep.
Friday: We were a little late because we had to find my Dad's new place to drop Chelsea off and as we were checking out his lot, Sydney slammed her hand in the door of the truck. Thankfully she was ok, just a nasty looking thumb for a few days. We got up and checked in and quickly headed to dinner because our sitting was at 5:15 and we arrived at 5:25. The food was a buffet and it was very good. Also, the view was amazing as you overlooked the water while eating.
After dinner we unloaded our stuff and headed back to the main building. Sydney and Devin checked out the playground which they both loved. Sydney is still talking about it.
Saturday: Got up and headed for breakfast. As I was feeding Devin, I could hear John across the room say to someone "She's over there". I turn around to see Jeff Cowan who I haven't seen in years. We were room mates while living in Collingwood and working at Blue Mountain. I thought he worked in Huntsville at one of the resorts but it turns out he has been at the Delawana the whole time. Not only that, but he's the General Manager! He had no idea we had won the trip because the reservations staff had handled it. We had a great time catching up whenever we saw him.
After breakfast, we of course did more playground stuff. Eventually, both kids needed a nap, so we headed to the room for them to rest. John toured the resort while I had a rest, doing some reading. In the afternoon, we headed out for a boat cruise which was awesome. It also knocked Devin out for another nap. When we got back, Devin was still napping in the stroller and Sydney and her Dad tried out mini golf. It was cute watching her because she had never done it before and found it really interesting.
We did dinner and then headed to the room for an early night. Everyone was asleep by 9:00.
Sunday: We had breakfast and then I asked about daycare (which was included in the weekend). We were shown where it was and Sydney immediately went for the toys. I had said that we would come back after her nap but she didn't want to leave so we left her there to play until lunch. I picked Sydney up at 12 and got her down for a nap as well as Devin. John watched them while I headed to the spa for a massage. Then after the massage, I ran Sydney to daycare and John headed for a massage. Devin and I went for a walk to see what we hadn't seen of the resort. We picked Sydney up from daycare and had dinner {after Sydney got a butterfly painted on her arm : ) } Another early night for all.
Monday: Got up and started packing before breakfast. We headed for breakfast and then Sydney had another morning of daycare. John and Devin went on a boat cruise and I went back and finished packing and loading the truck. I then went to the spa for a Spa Pedicure which was awesome. After that we packed up and headed home.
Let me just say that if you are looking for a great place to go that everyone will enjoy than this is it. What we saw of the kid's program, it was great. No wonder they are ranked No. 1 for families. I can certainly see why.
We will be saving all our pennies to hopefully go back in a couple of years. Thanks to Jeff and his crew for an awesome time.
Today, the kids are trying to get back on a schedule. Devin is pretty tired and you can tell he is happy to be home. Traveling for him right now is not something he enjoys a lot of. He's ok with a day out but beyond that it is too much for him.
Now for me to get a bunch of things done around here.
