Frog Follies!

Soooo last weekend was Frog Follies and it's an annual event that happens in St. Pierre Jolys and a hugeeeee thing to the community. There's bands playing, tents, lots of food, stuff for kids, games and of course the frog jumping. The frog jumping is a competition and theres a huge trophy to win at the end it's so intense. So Wednesday-Friday we basically set up th stages, all the decroations and soooooo much that I cant even begin to explain. Rolly my boss is the head of the frog jumping so our work was mainly towards that event. On thursday night the frog hunt began at the golf course. Families came out with their gar and a few of us were driving golf cats kinda lik shofering them back and forth to the different ponds. They had an option to keep the frogs or put it in the hugeeee bucket we had to take care of them and collect frogs for people to rent out for the competition. That was was pretty fun especially driving the golf carts! When we got back into town the other people were helping at the bingo which was very long and didnt end until like 12ish. Afterwards we all helped set up the tables for the pancake breakfast in the morning and the chair. This is in the arena sooo there were sooo many.

Anywaysss the wweeekend was great we worked long hours but it was worth it and it made the festival even better. Frog jumping is intense and I basically  handled the frogs in the bucket and caught them and put them in buckets for whoever wanted a frog to rent. One treat was separtating the baby frog from the actual good sized frogs lolllllllllllll funnnnn then we brought the baby frogs back o the golf course because we couldnt use them. At the end of the weekend it was time to tear verything down which was a challenge but alright. We also returned the frogs to the golf course and stuff like that. Our group had to sort through garbage which staaaaaaaaaaaaankkk in the sun and sort the cans but in the end we got the money from all the cans which was good ! around like 135$$$$$$ wooooooooooooooo it was split between 8 of us since lowen and gerard was at home perparing for housemanaging.

On monday we didnt go to work because we were doing alll the clean up stuff but it was good because we finished around noon then had the rest of the day off. Yesterday at work I fuckin worked my assssss offf. Cutting and sawing dead branches off the trees, putting awa stages and signs, lots of heavy lifts and then diging for flower bed.. the sun was soooooo hot i left about 2:30ish, showered then past out at home for 3 hours until i was called for supper. last night was intensly insane but fun at the same time. ask me about it because i cannot blog about it but yeaah. gabb is on her 48 hours off so we have the house to ourselves until friday.

ouuuuuuuuu also my phone completely broke. like into two pieces lawwwwwwl, but the good thing is the day after we went to steinbach to go to canadian tire to buy fans because the hosue is fucking BOILING! and then we got a little bit of free time to roam around so I found a rogers and ordered a new phone which shouldddd be here anyyyy day now, hopefully that doesnt fuck up.

The house is a little tense after last night and a huge talk is gonna be given out but im just cool about it and and dont wana start shit, its not worth it but i do think we got a little closer after all this. hey im pretty much out to the whole house now except like one person and same with gerard so thats good :) but yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
