Save the bee!

This morning, Calum saved a bee. It was buzzing around the Old DC and was about to meet an unfortunate end (I was ready to whack it) when Calum told me to put it outside. That's one lucky bee. Not, however, as lucky as the dozen or so ants that he rescued in the kitchen just a little earlier. Now those, I really would have dealt with but he was having fun saving them. Calum is a really into insects these days. We regularly have to read his bug book to learn about ants, spiders, beetles and butterflies. Oh, and ladybugs. Everyday after I pick him up we have to look for ladybugs (sadly, I think we accidentally killed them all - not easy for small hands to pick up).

No big news this week. Don and I went to see The Police in concert last night with some friends. It was a nice night out. We've only ever seen one other concert together and we both didn't like that one. Grandma, Grandpa and Buddy helped look after Calum for the night. He was pretty excited and was still talking about Buddy this morning. Baby (the cat) wasn't as impressed and didn't come home till this morning.

I'm planning on helping Larry and Tabitha with their big move tomorrow. Mom and Dad may be down too so I'll finally be able to give Mom her Mother's Day gifts from Calum. We've been planning to take a trip to Merritt (combined work/visit) but it hasn't happened yet. Ah well, by the time we do get up there it should be nice and warm.

Oh, some good news for us. The daycare is going to be open in July this year. Fees are going up a bit, but that wasn't unexpected. That means July is covered and Don and I just have to either take vacations or re-arrange or schedules a bit for August. Desiree is planning on working full time and I expect Dakota will want to also. We don't know how it will all work out yet but I must say I'm looking forward to the summer. The outdoor pool across the street opened this week and Calum and I are giving it a few days for the water to warm up before we go over.
