March Break
This week was March break so we have been crazy busy.
The kids got new shoes for spring and we tried out laser quest with some school friends for the first time, they loved lazer quest!
We enjoyed Lynde shores and the beautiful outdoors / animals, Hadley even pet a goose.
We have been to Home Depot to do crafts, and this time the Home Depot character came out for the fun.
Groceries is always a fun activity. :)
Then we went to see Trolls at the Cineplex, and while both kids had moments where they didn't think it would work out in the end, by the end... they both said they loved it! It was so colourful and had such great music. The songs have been in our heads all week!
We have also done a swim at the community centre and had an orthodontist appointment for Hadley.
Thursday we met up with Patti, Alicia and Chelsea to play in Greenwood. We had hopes to skate at the outdoor rink but it was thawed. So we just played outside.
Then in the afternoon we headed to Disney On Ice. Both kids loved it. Originally it was going to be a Hadley and me date but after we found out that Brian had to work we were lucky enough to find a seat right beside ours still available! I really can't believe it still!
It was a really fun afternoon! And above all odds we bumped into my friend Mary from C4 and her daughter Makayla.
Friday was a clean the house, bake a cake and get ready for Hadley's birthday party kind of day.
The evening started with pizza for dinner, a little Wii Dance, then they were so hot that they went outside with their drinks and toasted to Hadley. This was followed by cupcake decorating where icing and sprinkles went everywhere. Hadley directed a band in the playroom that had Easton on drums, Laquoia on keyboard, Kennedy on guitar and Ariana and Hadley singing the hit song Sunshine in my pocket by Justin Timberlake. The conversation from the night mostly revolved around the movie Trolls so it was good that we saw it earlier in the week!!! After this there was a puppet show and then craziness in bed! I think they finally settled down just after 11pm! I heard a lot of hash tag and then whatever they were talking about... and then just a lot of giggles.
The next morning the girls slept until 8:15am, then they enjoyed a pancake and bacon breakfast with syrup, jam and whip cream... and fruit on the side.
Then we were off to Nebs Fun World for bowling, pizza lunch, rides (the tilt-a whirl type ride and the slidder (up and down type ride), then an indoor playground which they played hide and go seek in, followed by arcade fun.
We were all tired by the end but I think Hadley's tenth birthday party was a success!
Sunday Easton had an early hockey game that they won with literally about 2 seconds to spare. 4-3!
Then later in the day Shaye came to visit and she and I went to see the new Beauty and the beast movie. So fun!
We talked until about 1am!
Hadley woke up today to a closed door that had balloons all over it held in with Happy Birthday crepe paper, so when she woke up and opened the door, balloons came in on her to start her day! Then there was a hunt for 10 signs around the house that said "Look who's Ten", followed by a waffle birthday breakfast, presents - Troll playdoh from Easton, Build-a-bear clothes, lip gloss, nail polish, books and pokemon cards, as well as her iPod Touch, from us. Shaye got her Lego Elves, and a new Muskoka Bear wear hoodie.
And she took cupcakes to school.
I think... a success.
And I got the kids on the bus in time! Then Shaye and I met up with Rachel and Sarah, friends of ours from our Camp Hermosa Days, like 15-20 years ago!
Now back to the regular schedule.
Did I mention, I love March Break! I had such a great week... sleep is for the weak!
