I spent a day with Lori and then with Ruby doing some shopping at the Eatons Centre. I was amazed at the amount of people there and the amount of bags people were carrying around. If I were smart I’d start shopping too for next years presents!!!
Stores were offering entire stock at 50% off – [...]
I’m never one to refuse a party – let alone host one but our we had to pass on – simply too much to coordinate and schedule so we cancelled. I’ll be hosting more other similar starting in January!
We’re going to look at getting away tomorrow somewhere for New Years Eve together as a family!
Wierd weather, no complaints except for I’m not riding Betty! I noticed today that the perennials in our front walkway are sprouting out of the ground. There are some trees on the DVP that look like they are changing color – yes, turning spring? Good golly what are we doing wrong?
Just my thoughts!!
Elina asked who was going to take her to daycare today and who was picking her up! So, she’s not quite getting that we are now on a week break and now get to just relax!
We took a walk down to Lake Ontario (the boardwalk to toss some rocks in the water)
We did manage to sleep in till 8:45 and we all came downstairs to see the presents Santa (aka Gramma and Gramma Dawne’s and our presents under the tree, as well as full stockings). The big hit was a disposable camera from daddyo in her stocking and a fire engine toothbrush that she’s been [...]
So, its Boxing Day. Elina and Daddyo are sleeping and I’m relaxing (with computer!!), updating the site and finally uploading photos of the last few weeks (since new notebook computer). Today we did nothing, we putz’d around with Elina and some of her new toys. We went for a walk down at the boardwalk and [...]
So, I have installed our photo editing software, here’s the last months’ photos. This was her first Santa of the season (well if you count the one that paraded past her on Bloor St. at the Santa Clause Parade, enjoy the photos!
I am just finding a moment to breath (and blog) – count as one version of relaxation for me – I am sitting after all. Our Christmas Eve guests will arrive after 6:30 and we shall share a roast (and some vegetarian noodles for the girls). The stocking are hung by the door way with [...]
Officially that is, today, was the shortest day of the year and on the up and up, the days from now on will begin to get longer!! Snow, what snow (this post will surely bring it on), but we’re expected to have temps. between 3 and 8 celcius in the next 2 week period.
I have [...]
So who’s complaining about our wonderful weather, makes us think that perhaps in some freekish way we’ll pay for it in the end – snowfall so large that the mayor will call in the military (or brooms for a clean sweep?) and that my Vespa is parked and I cannot ride it without some prep [...]
