Highlights of the Weekend!

Our weekend was off to a good start on Friday.  The weather was fabulous and we just had to get out and enjoy the sunshine and warm temperature.  We headed to the park for the girls to play and take Makena for a walk around the block.  It felt like the month of February was so cold and now that we have this weather it is such a nice change.

Friday night we made plans with my parents and Erica and Derrick or (Derricka) as we call them to come over to play cards.  We finished up dinner and put the girls down for the night.  My parents brought their Sequence game to play along with some munchies.  Erica and Derrick brought yummy taco chips with salsa and cheese dip.  My mom and I whopped Derrick and Erica's butts good then Erica and I kicked my mom and Derrick's butt too.  It was fun to hang out and play cards and indulge in some junk food.

Saturday morning we adventured outside to enjoy the weather yet again.  Kyle had shoveled the pond in the back behind our house to make a skating rink for us to use.  We took the sled down to the pond with our skates.  The girls were so happy to be outside, Abby hung out in the small sled and Claire helped Kyle shovel off the ice again before we started skating.  She was reluctant to put on her bob skates and helmet but we got them on her eventually.  She pushed the bar around for  a little bit then went with Kyle around the ice skating.  Kyle and I took turns taking Abby for rides around the ice in her sled, she couldn't stop smiling and laughing.

Saturday afternoon I went to my friend Crystal's baby shower for her little girl Alex.  She was born on February 13th.  I picked up my other friend Janeen on the way to the shower since she lived on the way to the party.  They had delicious food and cute little cupcakes from Sweet Impressions.  They had little sugar cookies with Alex written on them, so adorable and yummy!  It was great to see Crystal's new house and the nursery all decorated.  She did a turquoise with grey and pink.  I was happy to hold and cuddle with little Alex, she was sleepy and so little.

After the shower I stopped at Home Outfitters to look for sheet sets for Claire's big girl bed.  I just wanted a light solid lilac colour and a neutral colour as well.  I had wanted to order sheets from Pottery Barn but with shipping and US exchange rate it would have been really expensive.  I wanted to buy the duvet cover on Restoration Hardware's website instead.  I was able to find amazing sheets at Home Outfitters, a sheet set that was marked down to $65 regular $139.99 and then a light grey set for $49.

These are her new sheets! So soft!

Sunday morning we had our friends Matt, Janeen, their daughter Ava and our other friend Jarrett over for breakfast.  We made a colourful fruit plate, maple bacon and Janeen and Matt brought waffle batter. It was nice to see them and watch Ava and Claire play together.

In the afternoon Kyle and Claire went out to the pond to go skating again.  Abby was still napping so I tidied up around the house.  After we headed out to Kyle's grandmas house for dinner.  It was a great way to end the weekend.
