Long Weekend update!

Somehow, more than a week has gone by without any posting, or even reading any blogs. Man - do I ever have some catching up to do. Let's get to it.


1. Girls night out: Not being able to stand having family day go by without having some out of the house fun, the girls and I went swimming at the Y and then had dinner at East Side Marios. We ended getting to the restaurant later than we had planned because we had SO much fun swimming and because Eve's nap was super long. But I was amazed at how great the girls were, even Evie. They are so much fun. Jackie, especially was very excited to take her leftover pizza home to her Dad, who was thankful for it, but not thankful enough to eat it. I was worried Jackie would be offended,but she was happy to eat it for breakfast, and then day dreamed about it at lunch time.

Valentines day at our house was low key but great. Andrew took Alice and Jackie out for breakfast at McDonald's and Eve had the good sense to sleep in so I could go back to bed after getting the big girls ready.
The girls and I made a big chocolate cake for our number 1 guy. Looking at the picture I wish I had made Jackie wear some cuter PJ's. Don't know why these Snow White PJ's continue to be a favourite - they really are ragged.




Valentine's brings with it Audrey's birthday. She turned two, and we had quite a fun party at Grandma's on Sunday. It is always great to play with cousins in Grandma's dress up clothes - and sample Grandma's perfume. If only this picture was scratch and sniff. Oh yeah, and the curly hair is thanks to our 1:00 p.m. church time block.




It is a special treat when Andrew comes with us. Here he is with Eve who he has just woken up. Who looks more tired?
