Last Day of Grade Three and Happy Gotcha Day

Leevi's last day of grade three was celebrated with his class at his best friend's home catching frogs. How fun does that sound. His class returned to school and he was asked to stay and play with his friends, have dinner and swim in their pool. YES!

After we arrived home to meet up with his dad to celebrate Leevi's 8th Gotcha Day. How amazing to be adopted and celebrate a birthday and a gotcha day each year. Gifts are usually dolled out for each occasion. Today was no different. Darryn had found an old rusty Christmas tin in the garage and hid a surprise. Opening the tin became a problem with all the rust and Leevi tried his very best to conceal his disdain for the gift wrap of choice. He finally conceded and asked for help. Well the look on his face when it was finally opened changed quickly to surprise and awe. A contibution to his spending money in Korea. A hole was instanly being burnt in his pocket. His first question was "is ToyR Us open on our way to Toronto tomorrow. We will have to work on that.

He toddled off to bed muttering " one more sleep and I get to see Liam" Yes!. Darryn took the opportunity to "snuggle" with him. He must have been tired because he was in dream land within 5 minutes. If you know Leevi this is unusual, he often lays awake for hours unable to shut hi smind down.

So I am now off to doing one on many tasks I have yet to complete before I leave my family home and join Leevi on his Amazing Adventure.

Good Night
