Great Weekend with Auntie Karen

What a busy week we just had. Jonmarie had production week at her school. The whole school is involved in the play and mom was working late every night, helping behind the scenes, making sure the kids were where they were supposed to be, helping with the props, etc. Auntie Karen flew into to Calgary and stayed the night with Jacki. Jacki wasn't sure how to get Auntie Karen from the airport to her house because the flight was late in the evening and Gary was in Newfoundland for his Auntie's funeral (sorry to hear of her passing Gary). So Jacki asked Nolan to watch the kids. When he found out the time, he just laughed. Apparently his new girlfriend from Melfort was flying in on the same flight! So he just picked up both of them at the airport. Auntie Karen knew that Nolan's girlfriend was going to be on the flight, so prior to boarding, she was asking people if their name was Erin! When she went to sit down, she overheard a young lady talking on her cell phone and was almost certain she heard Nolan's voice on the other end and this girl's reply "Wouldn't it be funny if we sat together?" Once she was off the phone, Auntie leaned over and asked "Erin?" and the girl replied "Karen?" Very funny story.
Jacki drove Auntie as far as Olds and then I picked her up to bring her the rest of the way to Red Deer. Poor Auntie, she has some great stories to tell about her time with us, losing Bobby at the zoo, trying to keep up with our busy schedule, forgetting the tickets to the production, the list goes on and on. You must ask her about it at the reunion. She said when they had visited Patti and Dean's, the chaos wasn't much different. Mom's with their kids is multi tasking to the extreme. They should actually make it an Olympic sport!
On Sunday, mom and Auntie went to see Aunt Eveyln and Uncle Hughie in Edmonton and Jonmarie, Shaunie and I babysat Matt. It was great to get to watch the Olympics together. However Matt has this new app on his cell phone. It converts English into Afrikaans. He is driving me crazy with it. He enters "Shelley has a big...." and then it replies in Afrikaans. It sounds like a cyborg version though and some of the words are way off.
Matt still has some off days, but thank goodness no more episodes like 2 weeks ago. I took for wings last week and they were the best we had ever had! Maybe it was because we hadn't been there for so long, but they were goooood! I think tonight we may partake in wing night again. Tony Roma's here we come!
