Date day with Garett

One of the things on my "to do" list after I had Keira was to have a mommy/Son date day. I know he still gets plenty of attention , but other than errands, he doesn't get much. One in one time out in public with me. And it's different playing at home, than it is going out and finding common interests and relating to each other. He's my best bud, so I wanted to treat him to a day I knew we would both enjoy. I booked it so far in advance, that the night before I got so excited neither of us got any good sleep. 

We started early on with a breakfast of his choosing. Toast with butter cut into special shapes, and a ton of cantaloupe. Soon enough he was done and we were out the door. It was a crummy snowy day, so I brushed off the car and away we went. 

First stop was only a few blocks from the house so it worked out well. We got there in time to pick a spot, get his apron and hat on and colour a few pictures. 

He was the instructors favourite kid (there were about 10 other kids and their parents there). He marched in, she said "hi what's you're name" and he said " I'm Garett. G-A-R-E-T-T" lol


Once we got started (30 mins later because there was one sink to wash all the hands in). We first made a heart shaped cherry tart/pie thing. He cut out his dough, stretched out the top piece, filled it, closed it up, made holes in the top, brushed on the egg wash and sprinkled some sugar in top. He was in heaven! 



After those were in the oven baking, they gave each kid a chocolate and a vanilla cupcake, and since it was valentines themed, different Valentine's colours to ice with and a ton of candy and sprinkles to use. He chose simple jelly beans and sprinkles. Once they were done, they handed out our pies. He sat and ate the vanilla cupcake and we loaded up to head to Skyzone. 



When we got to sky zone we were running about thirty minutes early, so they just switched our jump times. Someone told me only to buy 30 minutes, but I bought an hour. I'm so glad I did! He jumped the whole time and would have stayed longer if I let him lol. After , we grabbed some lunch for everyone and headed home. 

It was such a fun day!! I love spending time with him, and hearing how much he is developing and changing. What a big boy :) 

I will leave you with a few pictures from sky zone.

    That looks so fun! After spending the weekend with Sam alone I want to be sure to have Mommy/son dates too! So often you hear of Daddy/Daughter dates but I think its just as important the other way around too! xo

Life Lately

-Hosting Bearbrook Ladies night two weekends ago was wonderful! I put out a full charcuterie spread, made a mint/cranberry/grapefruit drink to share, and all of us received a tarot card reading, palm read and a facial read. Pretty much the reoccurring consensus between all three reads (it was two different people doing it) was that my heart and mind live in a state of conflict, but that it works for me to live in a state of balance. I deal mostly with logic and facts, and less with emotions; they think I would be good as an analyst (weird, since this is pretty well my role at work), and with numbers (which I also do all day at work lol). I'm stubborn and loyal and do not have a mean streak. That I am the same person at home as I am in social settings...blah blah blah. It was interesting! -Last weekend, we went out to Tyler's Disco Inferno show to celebrate our friend Jami and Donna's birthdays. We danced away (one of Keira's ECE's from daycare came out too!) and i...

-Garett went on his first friend play date ever , and he had so much fun. It was his two best friends that left daycare to start school last year. -happy that while Garett was at his play date, Tyler was home with Keira and I went out for a bit alone, then came home and we finished The Belko Experiment movie before I went to get him. (He was there for two hours) -sad that this week, Garett only has four days left at daycare :( Friday is Keira's first day, while I keep g home with me. Can't believe it's already almost school time!! -as a "goodbye" gift from g, we bought his daycare provider a necklace from peoples that is a heart with some Garnet stones in it (Garett's birthstone), to remember him by, and I ordered an Aukey essential oils diffuser , a doTERRA starter kit and an essential oils mixing guide recipe book thing. Hopefully she likes it. -Keira adapted SO well to putting herself down for her nap. She's down to one a day, and I just give...

Friday fun!

Thank God it's Friday, and that this week is O-V-E-R!!! -It was a stressful week at home. Looking forward to a fun weekend! -I am being audited for child care expenses in 2018--I'm not the only one that thinks we pay too much money in child care! LOL...I submitted my receipts online (they are catching up with the times and it's great!) and turns out I actually underclaimed by a few hundred dollars haha. -Tonight is calm, just hanging at home with the kids. -Saturday I have an eyelash appointment at 2:00, and then we have a sitter coming at 6:00 so we can go to a Wine & Cheese night up the road at our friends house. -Sunday is a day of rest until the evening when Shan comes over and we head into town to go to the Trailer Park Boys Christmas at the NAC (I bought Tyler and I tickets as an early Christmas gift). We are sitting pretty close, so I hope we don't get any of their nasty sweat on us lol -Monday I am off since the TPB thing only starts at 8PM, I didn...
