Brian's Birthday and Family Day Weekend

2013-02-18 19:58:27 • by Leanne Verkley

This weekend was well, like all of our weekends.  Busy.
Friday was Brian's birthday and a PA day for Hadley.  So I spent just over an hour Friday morning trying for Blue Jays home opener tickets but it just didn't work out.  Sigh.  Oh well.
Then it was on to cake baking and decorating.  Brian was sick so we didn't go out but that was okay since his birthday gift was the new gaming system, the Wii U.  We played lots!
Saturday was a day at home but it was a research day.  We made some decisions about the house.  Trim style and size, we decided on the wood floor widths, we got the locate information together for the grading, and looked into a few other things but no final decisions on those yet.  
Sunday we had visitors.  Brian's dad and sister Julie came to visit.  We enjoyed a roast dinner with cake.  Hadley was very happy to show them how the new Wii U worked!
Then today, actual family day, we took the kids to see Bobs and Lolo.  This is a musical duo on treehouse TV.  http://www.bobsandlolo.com/
If you are trying to imagine what they are like perhaps you could compare them to Sharon, Lois and Bram.  
Decent show for a decent price.  Hadley and Easton were right up front dancing and singing.  We even got to talk with Bobs after the show.
Lots of photos too!
Afterwards when we got home Easton really didn't want to go inside; so... we didn't.  He and I spent about an hour in the snow.  We did our best to make a snowman out of snow that didn't really stick together.  (It worked just well enough).  
Hadley and Brian had some more fun Wii time inside.  (Brian is still sick and Hadley loves gaming).  
Tonight we are expecting Brian's cousin Patrick to come for a sleepover (in about an hour or so he should arrive).  He is going on a dairy barn tour through eastern Ontario and Quebec during his winter break from school and thought staying here would be a good first stop over.  
Absolutely.
Included in this weekend was an entire house clean (minus our bedroom and the kitchen floors).  
I think I did 10 or more loads of laundry!
I feel like I did a lot this weekend!
