Very Busy Weekend at our House

Hello everyone! We had a crazy busy weekend at our house. Daniel had karate in Red Deer on Friday night. We have been driving down for classes with Sensei Gary and the rest of the Arashi Do gang since the end of March. It has been very good for Daniel, even though he is more tired than usual.

Friday night, I drank too much tea before heading to bed and had to get up at 5:30 am to pee pee. Well, when I came back to bed, there was this little girl in my front yard! TOTALLY COOL! I, of course, had to sit and watch for about 1/2 an hour and by the time I went back to sleep, she had been joined by her three buddies that have lived near us all winter. They look good and were definitely stoked to eat the nice new grass under our spruce trees.   They came from behind the pond and the 1st was making her way across the road when I went back to sleep.  





Saturday we headed into Edmonton for class at Arashi Do South with Sensei Ren, for extra practice. Daniel's karate friend, Noah, usually works out with him on Saturday, but wasn't there this week. We then went out for lunch and to the M&G hosted by Sue Mendoza on the east side of town. We got home around 6:00 pm.   When Curtis went to bed Saturday night, there was a HUGE porcupine eating new grass under our bedroom window.  Claire wanted the cats to see it so, she went downstairs and opened up her window.  The window makes a sort of poofing noise when you open it and she made the porcupine jump in mid air.  Scared the crap out of him.  I have no idea if the cats saw him or not.  Claire said it was too dark for them to see.  Lots of wildlife excitement!

Then on Sunday we headed back to Red Deer for the Team Alberta Practice with Sensei Gary and Sensei Cody. There were about 30 people there so, a great turn out and lots of fun for the kids. Daniel was super sweaty and said that it was "awesome" so, worth the trip! I took a dog and met some other greyhound people that transported her the rest of the way to Calgary and then quickly went to Costco and then went and took Chester for a walk at 3 mile bend. This is the off leash park in Red Deer and Chester thought that it was fabulous to meet all those other doggies, big and small. FYI, Chester WAS NOT off leash.

Curtis has gotten all the paper work for the "bumble bee" and it should be coming home this week.  I will post pics when it arrives.  He is just a little excited.
