Some thoughts...

Eureka!
I am getting the Phil and Ted's E3 stroller!! it's so great and I think will be a better fit for Ashton AND it just looks pretty...heehee

I think I am going to post some ads to provide childcare for a 1- 4 year old. I feel that I am able to do it again. If it's the right person (and they pay me properly ahem) then it should work out great! my energy is soaring and I am home more now since Ashton is not so keen on outings these days. AND (I like that word) I have a great backyard here I decided, a trampoline, swing set, slides, little push car, climbing equipment, and a deck to sit and snack. This summer will be great!

I can't WAIT for our family vacations this summer, we have camp Sasamat this July and we are planning a trip to Victoria probably Canada Day weekend. Lots of planning involved but definitely worth it (one hopes).

We have decided to start a 'special day' tradition with the kids. Each kid will get an outing of their choice and on their own with either mom or dad (or both,volunteers?)starting late summer. Allura was really excited when we mentioned the idea to her, thank you Jon and Kate.

That aside we are also looking for some respite care for Ashton, if you or anyone you know is ready wiling and able to watch him maybe twice a month (preferably without other kids around)let us know. We will pay 20/hour.

Well that's all for now...

Wow Denise this is a bunch of really fun stuff! I'll spread the word on the respite care question. And the Phil and Ted's stroller IS lovely. I seriously considered it before deciding on the BOB Revolution. Which we adore.

So, Hey! I am so into doing respite care for you for the following reasons:
1) I can go to your house with all of my kids and they can play in your backyard
2) I have a child who is old enough to babysit my kids and that leaves me free to bring either only me or a few kids so Ashton can have me all to himself.
3) I have a husband who comes home early enough for you to take your family without Ashton on a late afternoon outing
4) I adore Ashton as if he were my newphew and because I have crying in my ears most of the time, I actually can put up with him whining at me.
5) I love you and have been wanting to help you out in this area forever and you don't hahve to pay me if you don't get the funding for it.
