Another Weekend gone

Why do the weekends go by so quick that is the thing I can't figure out
We spend our lives working so we can have all the luxuries not that I am against it.
We work 5 days get 2 days off.  Spend more time at work then with our families.

At least I get to see the things Mattis does he is crawling all over now and yesterday drove the shopping cart.
Yes at Sobeys they have carts with steering wheels so the kids can think  they are in control.

I will try to psot a pic later of this just don't have the time this morning.

The end of Summer 2010

According the calendar it is not over but according to the measurements in my life it is.
The Paris Fair is over and so is the annual Burford Flea Market which is the weekend after labour day.

It has been a busy summer that is for sure many things happened.  We sold our House and in the process of building a new house which we will take possesion of in Mid November.  The excitement begins I have already been dealing with them on many issues and opportunities that are arising.

Anyway back to the end of the summer.  The flea market was a relative success for us we found a few bargains.  We found an old Antique Mirror no idea of the age.  The mirror will be going in to the Foyer of our new home.  We found a desk, a basketball net, and a slide for Mattis for the new house as well.  It is in storage at Mums until we move as we don't have the space in our current house.

Other things from the summer endless cleaning of the house so it would look spotless and the stripping out of items so the house looks bigger to help it sell.  We were not sure  if all our work would pay off but it did and the steps to the next Chapter in our life has begun.  The packing begins to pack up the contents of our old house and to move to the new house is just beginning.

Quebec City in a flying trip well for me anyway Mel and Mattis were there for 10 days me just a weekend.

Ah the summer of 2010 is over and it just a part of our memories but the memories are here to stay thank goodness for that.

Mattis Man and the new House

On the weekend we take Mattis up to the new house so that he could see his new digs.  even though we don't get possesion till November it was something we wanted to do so here are a few pics of the little guy outside the new house.
We can only get in with the site spervisor, since it is under construction.

We were at the building office on Monday signing the final ammendmant papers and Mattis was pounding on the map where his bedroom was.  I asked if he wanted the other room and he looked at me and pounded on the same room.  It is almost like he knows which room is going to be his
