Hit The Ground Running

Posted by Vulnadia on Jul 21, 2009 at 02:01 PM This week is going to be a busy one, that's for certain! Bregon has not one, but two camps simultaneously this week and is still very unhappy and feeling the effects of the loss of his best friend. Tomorrow is also cousin Sebastian's 4th birthday and we need to find him a present! So, off to our new schedule for this week. Fencing Camp is at 9 sharp, and of course I got pulled over a few blocks away by a bored policeman who wanted to tell me all about how I turned left on a red light, which I hadn't. Apparently he was extremely bored and looking for something to do, but he let me go after I explained to him that the light had just turned yellow as I was turning the corner. Thankfully he was very nice about the whole thing and was actually cute when he found out Bregon was a fencer and that was where we were headed. We weren't even all that late for the first day, which was lucky! We went home and got ready to go out to find Sebastian a birthday present. Then we headed out to pick Bregon up at noon and run home for a quick...SUPER QUICK lunch. In fact we ran out of time so we took it on the road with us and headed out to Renzi Film Camp week 2 to get Bregon there for his 1 o'clock. We managed to make it on time with a quick stop for Icees to keep the little people cool in the backseat of the van. Bregon slipped up and Kian noticed that his favourite giant pet snake, Fluffy was being carried inside and he began to cry. Luckily, Mr. Chuck wouldn't need Fluffy for another day, so Bregon ran back out to the car and saved the day by restoring Fluffy to his rightful owner. Kian was still sad about Fluffy and his adventure even after the long drive to Sam's. I got gas and explained to the kids what we were going to do. It isn't often that they are required to ride in a buggy like a normal everyday kid! Kaiden wasn't too sure about the safety of the buggy seat and wanted to clutch me for dear life. Kian cried because he had to leave Fluffy in the van while we went inside. I tried explaining the strict Sam's "No Snake's Please" policy, but he just wasn't buying it. Vivienne was very sweet and sat behind her brothers carefully in the center of the buggy. It was soo heavy and it was only loaded down with the babies at the moment! Once inside, we discovered that there was a new box of tonka trucks available, the babies favourites! So, we decided to get Sebastian a set of trucks and the boys also needed a set since it was different than what they had at home. This meant that Vivienne needed to adopt a new baby from the available orphan stack at the end of the toy aisle at Sams. Decisions, decisions! She finally settled on the cute baby with the sun hat like hers that also came with a teddy bear and a baby carrier. We managed to find a few other necessary things as well. Kian helped me find some coffee for Daddy even! They were soo very good considering the awkward mode of transportation! Next, we have a birthday party to look forward to, and day 2 of filming at the Renzi Film Camp!
