Busy Fun Weekend

I need a nap. I seriously could put my head down on my desk right now and go to sleep.

We did so much this weekend but we had a lot of fun too. Friday night we stayed in and watched a movie. Saturday we did a couple of errands, let Max have a nap and went to the Jays game. Steve got tickets from work for the 200 club level (nicer, comfier seats) so we decided to take Max to his first ball game. It was a killer hot day out (38 degrees) and our seats were in the direct sun. Max was loving it though. He sang "Oh Canada", cheered home runs, ate pizza, licorice and lots of drinks, learned to say "swing batter-batter-batter-batter", and Daddy bought him a Jays baseball. It was a crazy long game (we left at the end of the 13th inning and they won it in the bottom of the 14th) and I can honestly say I have never sweat so much in my entire life, but it was a lot of fun.

Yesterday we had the Tirecraft picnic at Cedar Park. Steve and Bernie ran the entire thing and did a great job. Max had a blast playing with the kids, swimming (well splashing in the kids area), drinking lots of juice boxes and running in the running race (he's still talking about this). It was a fun, long day. It was kind of strange thinking that this will likely be the last picnic we'll be going to. Not sure who will run it from now on since Steve's been doing it the past couple of years but that's not for us to worry about.

Funny story - when we got home Steve was reading the "This Week" paper, of course the sports section. I flipped the page to the classifieds and there was a big ad for Manager of Accounting for the new Oshawa Civic owned by Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment. We both laughed. He said "why is this in here right now?" Meaning, why when we have made the decision to move to SP, told everyone we know and yet have no absolute commitment to going (nothing signed, no money down on the house yet). After some consideration I think he will put his resume in but not having any expectations (we don't think the position will pay what we would want). Life is interesting, sometimes timing is everything.
