Weekend visitor!

Last weekend my mom came to visit, which was great cause I only get to see her a couple times a year since she moved out west and the last visit was back in November...

Mom arrived Friday afternoon in Kitchener by bus after taking the red eye from Calgary to Toronto, I picked her up after work and we met Rob, Sandy, Ben and Becca at The Crossroads, which is this fantastic buffet in Elmira (middle point between my place and their place)...After dinner mom and I headed back to my place and the Little's went home...Friday night was pretty quiet mom was exhausted after her trip and I was sleepy after work, so we just watched some tv and headed to bed early...

Saturday, I unfortunately had to work (surprise, surprise), but Rob, Sandy and the kids came over and had lunch with mom and kept her company while I was at work...I snuck out of work as soon as I could and rushed home to make dinner for everybody...I made Hawaiian chicken, it is mom R's (Jason's mom) recipe and Sandy loves it, so I try and make it whenever I have them over for dinner...I think mom was even impressed with my cooking abilities...I don't often cook for my mom cause she's the better "chef", so it's usually me eating her good food...After dinner Sandy asked what mom and I were going to do for the evening...We joked about going out "clubbin", well Becca being 4 and needing to know what everything is, asks "what's clubbin"...have you ever tried to explain to a 4 year old what clubbin is!?!?! It didn't go well to say the least and she obviously asked again later what "clubbin" meant...The best answer I think we came up with is "adults go out at night and act silly" haha! If anyone has a better explanation to give a 4 year old please let me know...

Sunday I took my mom to my church, which was really fun for me cause she's the first person I have brought to my church...she said she really liked it, which made me even happier with my choice...now it just needs to be approved by Jason and Sandy and then we are good to go! After church mom made me blueberry pancakes (MY FAV!) and we had a big late breakfast and then headed out to Rob and Sandy's to spend the rest of the afternoon with them...As usual I loved spending time with the kiddies and it was nice to see Ben and Becca with their grandma...After dinner I took mom back to the bus station and went through the process I hate of saying goodbye to someone I love, not knowing when I will get to see them again...

Here's hoping mom can come back to visit really soon and for a more extended time!

It is now way past my bed time, so I am signing off for now...
