A change of weekend plans
This weekend I was originally supposed to go camping with my friend Jenny and her kids but that changed a while back to go visit my sister before she went back from maternity leave. Then... her kids got the chicken pox.
At a week away from Hadley being the flower girl in Adam and Krista's wedding, I decided not to chance it since Hadley hasn't had the booster for the chicken pox yet.
So... with Brian away I decided to fill my day to the max.
I did a mild clean out of the van to start the day. Then I took the kids to a garage sale down the street. (Found an interesting chest but it was a little broken so decided against it).
This was followed by the Home Depot craft day (which is monthly but we haven't been in a while). Normally it is for kids aged 3 and up but they decided with the low numbers that Easton could do the craft and get his own apron. He loved it! He loved holding the hammer and glue. Hadley too! They made a cork board with frame.
They each got a pin to put on their aprons after completion. As well, they each got some candy from the bin.
Then, even though it was a rainy day I decided we would check out the Ajax waterfront festival. We went to Paradise Park, Carruther's Marsh and Rotary Park. There was painting, balloon animals, noodle necklaces, face painting, food and deflated wet jumping castles.
With the low numbers Hadley and Easton both went home with sand pail prizes that were supposed to be in a draw but they were each just handed them.
From here we went to my friend Dora's house. Her sons are approximately the same age as Hadley and Easton with her oldest Nicolas being in Hadley's class this past year and her youngest Anthony just a few days older than Easton. She is an esthetician by trade. So while the kids played, with Dora's mom watching over the kids... I got my waxing done.
Then Hadley and I both got a pedicure for the upcoming wedding fun.
From here I remembered that our local Once Upon a Child store (used kids clothes) was fully stocked with fall/winter clothes. So we went to check it out.
However there is so much stuff that I will have to go back. I did find a few good things though.
We came home for pasta dinner, baths, wii game time, books and then bed.
It was a busy day but I feel like everyone had a great day!
