K and Mom back at Camp

Posted on by

Here we are at Kinark outdoor Center, again!  This is the second time for me and the third time go K this season already!!  Last month we were here with our friends from our Northumberland Family Autism network group and our ABA group. KOC is a great facility with nice staff and lots of fun activities 

K was excited to see we are in the cabin next door to the one we were in last visit and we were both surprised to see our name nest to the door!

This is the inside set up with the beds made 😉

Busker Fest = Busy Day

Posted on by

Busy, Busy, Busy….

Starting off with helping Daynen set up for Busker Fest this morning, today was just one of those crazy Mom days!  If you are a Mom, you KNOW what I mean!!

B and K stayed over at their dad’s house last night so they could spend a bit of time with him for Fathers Day weekend before he went to his trailer.

I had “the girls” (Bel and our little flower, my granddaughters) this Friday/Saturday so they could be home for Father’s Day. So with the 2 little girls in tow we headed to Beautiful Downtown Cobourg for Busker Fest !

At 10:30 B met us at the Novelty Trades Booth to help out her brother and bring me K.

Then K, Bel and Flower rushed home to grab a gift to take to a friends Birthday party.  It was super fun and the kids had a great time!

Except maybe the part when they opened their goody bags after treats, cupcakes and Sponge Bob cake (which was really well done by the Birthday Boy’s mom by the way) and showed me they each got a bag of candy… Thanks Val.

At this point K was cooked… he was complaining he had a headache so he laid down for a nap for an hour.

Then back to Busker Fest for the last couple hours.

We saw a couple of really great shows!

That’s all for tonight.             Tomorrow will be another busy day getting ready for Camp!

Homeschool Track and Field day

Posted on by

Monday this week K competed in his very first track and field Meet!

Hosted and organized by OCHEC, there were homeschooled kids from all over Ontario.

I had pretty much never been to an event like this before and really had no idea what he was doing.   Not surprising seeing as he only attended under duress.  He didn’t want to because new things are hard for him.   So I basically bribed him.  I admit it.

Playmobil is his currency right now…. so a couple months ago when registration for the track meet was offered K and I picked up some second hand playmobil sets and put them in the shed.  We agreed he could have them if he attended and participated in the events at the meet.

                                 
Not only did he participate… he earned a couple ribbons!!

I’m so proud of him!
