The washing machine

Yesterday was a nice day! Kennedy was off so she was home with me. Earlier this week, I had bought Home Alone 1 and 2 so yesterday, I had her watch the second one (she watched the first one the day before). I told her all about how much of a classic those movies were for me and how I couldn't go a holiday season without watching them at least twice. And it is true... They are definitely some of my all time favorite movies. I never get fed up of them. Gotta LOVE Macaulay Culkin (aka cousin Joey Boudreau when he was young) <3.

So I watched it with her while picking up. I knew Gail was going to come over in the afternoon with Kaleb and Kendal (Kelly's son and daughter). Kelly is Nicole's sister. She lives in Calgary but was down with the kids for a few days. I actually mentionned them in my monday blog when I said they came for dinner. So yesterday Gail was keeping them with her as Kelly was gone over to the States to do some xmas shopping with a friend. So they came over around 4 and played with Kennedy. When the boys got home from school, I headed strait to Glenn Abbey (Arena near by) with Dylan because he had a practice at 5. We were all suppose to go but Gail offered to stay home with the rest of them. Curtis had a game at 7:10 (also at Glenn Abbey) so she said she'd drop him off around 6. He could stay there and get ready on his own until the game so I went back home with Dylan following Gail and the other kids. So we had time to have dinner and get back to the rink for Curtis' game. T'was a busy but fun night. Kaleb is 3 and was pretty impressed with Curtis' playing. He was so cute to watch, clapping his hands and yelling "go Curtis" !

Nicole was stuck in traffic on her way back from work but she actually managed to get there on time for the game too! So it was great. The only thing is the boys didn't play a really good game and weren't into it that much so they lost 2-0. I shouldn't say that because they actually manage to keep it tight until the end but they just didn't do the right moves at the right moments and didn't pley their positions right. The other team just didn't let go and played a perfect game. Just too bad the parents from the other team were very bad "cheerers" ! Kinda weird but we didn't make any case of it. I guess they are always like that. Nicole said most of the teams are nice and have nice and polite cheering but this Orangeville one was just not one of them ! Anyhow... Look at me all talking about hockey as if I know a whole lot about it ! Its actually kind of cool though cause I'm starting to really enjoy it and getting addicted to it ! I caught myself screaming at Curtis and Nicole was like : "Whoa  ! Look at you getting all into it, good job, thats what he needs !!!" I just get so nervous. It was definitely an awesome game to watch though ! Very stressful ! Anyways when we got back home it was Kaleb and Kendal's last night here so they stayed a while even though it was late. They all played together and left with Gail around 9.

Yesterday afternoon, we got the washer and dryer delivered and I was alone here with Kennedy so I had to handle the stupid guy that delivered it! They were suppose to install everything but Nicole had told me "Tell them to simply install the washer and leave our dryer there. They just have to leave the new dryer in the garage and we'll handle it from there. Just get them to do the washer". And the guy who sold it to her was really nice and had said that when they deliver, they install... So I don't know what was wrong with this guy but he didn't want to install it because of..... Well that's the part I couldn't get... I couln't understand his Jamaican accent at ALL !!!! Like he explained to me how to do everything and told me it was simple so I just couldn't understand why he couldn't do it. Ok he did tell me like 3 times after I asked him "Ok, so tell me why you can't install it again ?". Nicole couldn't believe it ! She called Steeve up (guy who sold it) and he was very discouraged about that and couldn't believe it. So he said he would take care of sending someone today (friday). But when we got home from the game, we did it ourselves. The guy was so stupid he didn't even know which one was the cold and hot water.... Ok I don't know much about pipes but when there's a blue sticker on one and a red one on the other I pretty much assume that its clear the blue is cold and the red is hot... I mean common.... Anyhow ! Nicole called back and spoke to another guy which was really nice too, just like Steeve ! She explained everything to him to and said "I just wanted to let you guys know you don't have to send anyone tommorow because me and my nanny got it done on our own, which that stupid delivery guy couldn't manage to do". So I guess the guy started laughing and said "good job! On our side, we will take care of kicking that guy's but when we see him" and laughed again ! Nicole said thank you and hung up. We were pretty proud of ourselves ! And the washer looks SOOOO good ! And it makes nice music when you turn it on and off and when your load is done ! We just stood there for about 30 minutes looking at it while it did our first load ! Then we figured we just looked dumb so we got outta there ! Here the awesome machine ! It'll look so good once the dryer is there too ! Nice steam machines too so we can't wait to use that on our jackets and see what kind of a job it does :)

How lame is it that I just put up a picture of a washing machine ? Sorry ! I love appliances ! And it makes me want to shop for some for when we move in me and Jf :) Anyhow, we got the kids to bed and headed there ourselves afterwards. This morning was pretty hectic because Curtis was very active ! he was in a good mood but just wouldn't listen at all. They weren't going to school right away because Nicole had set them up with doctor appointments and she had took her day off so they left around 8:30 with all of their school stuff so whenever they are done, she will simply drop them off to school. It was pretty much what you can call a bad morning because all 3 of us (Curtis, Nicole and I) were in a not so good mood about Curtis' actions. But anyhow... We managed to stay calm and he finally got things done and went out. It's always worst when Brian or her are there because he knows it and just uses it to be more aggravating. so when she had Dylan and Kennedy ready, she left him alone with me so I talked to him and he was a bit better (Not completely but anyways)... He finally went out the door when I said I wasn't sure his mom was going to let him go to his tournament this weekend after the way he had been acting and not listening this morning. Think that kinda freaked him out so he hurried out the door lol ! But anyways... Good morning for the rest of us ! :) There just will be days like that, thats it ! I already have half of the laundry done and most of my house cleaning so I guess this afternoon I will take it easy and prepare something for dinner. Nicole will pick up Curtis at 2 to leave for his tournament so I'll be alone with Dylan and Kennedy. Dylan had a game around 6 so we will go there and Nicole and Curtis will come meet us there after his game.

Have a good one Y'all ! :)
