Hangin' Out with James ...

January 21, 2017

 Craig was at a Birthday party and Ella went to a sleepover Birthday party today ...

So ... James and I had the day all to ourselves ...

The first order of business was to gather all the items to be recycled ...

paper ... bottles ... cans and cardboard ...

We took them all to the designated areas ... now at the bottle depot ... there was a long line-up ...

looks like everyone else had the same idea on this beautiful day ...

We decided to go to DQ for an ice cream break ... and then went back to the bottle depot ... 

we were next in line to have all the bottles and cans counted for a refund ...

After all our jobs were done ... we headed into Okotoks to do a little shopping ...

James was also in of a haircut ... so we ended up getting that done as well ... his barber was a unique individual ... and a lot of fun ...

Looking good big guy ...!!!

We travelled back to the house ...

enjoyed out leftover pizza ...

and numerous card games ...

We had a great day ... !!!

Loved spending this 'one on one time' with James ...

We were up early to make our way to James's hockey game in DeWinton ...

It was an extremely foggy morning for driving ...

It took us awhile to find this arena ...

but once we were there ... it was a thrilling game ... and I loved watching him ...

I was delighted that he had scored a goal ...

and had gotten one assist ...

James's team won 7-3 

Craig and Ella were still at their Birthday parties ... 

We would pick them up on our way back to the house ...

to have dinner ... get their homework done ...

and played cards ... 

Tomorrow was another school day ...

so early to bed for everyone ...

I will be taking them to school and then travel back home ...

(and just a little exhausted ... it was busy ... !!!)
