hmmm...date: March 16th, 2012
hmmm...date of last blog entry...?!
oops...guess I've been slack....or apathetic, or just plain busy.
Dalton woke at 3:30 with a coughing fit. I've been awake since then, and finally gave up tossing and turning, and got up to play on Facebook and Pinterest for awhile. Unfortunately, Dalton didn't stay in bed much longer, either. I heard him in the next room with the tv, so I went in and laid down too. I think we both finally drifted off during an episode of i-Carly, and then the phone rang at 5:45!!!!!AM!!!!!!!!!!!!! so NOT impressed.
At least Dalton is back asleep now.
Big day...We gave Dalton permission to skip out of last class today to play in the annual men's bonspiel...Spiel on the Rock. Philip needed an extra curler, and Dalton was willing. Normally I would not let him get out of school, but it is a pretty big deal...he'll get to curl with Camille Villenueve. He is from Quebec, and since Dalton is skipping French Class, I thought it might be excusable!
Camille is an 83 year old curler who has played around the world. His claim to fame is not on how many spiels he has won, but rather how many curling clubs he has played in. 700!! yes...SEVEN hundred!! wow. He is bringing with him  a collection of various curling memorabilia. I invite you drop by the rink this weekend and have a bowl of chowder, watch a game, and check out the goods!
