We just finished our Family Day weekend here in Alberta. It kicked off with some fantastic weather, which we certainly took some advantage of.

The rest of the weekend was a bit colder, so we spend most of it indoors: play, shop, eat, sleep, play, shop, eat, sleep. Repeat. Pretty relaxing! We also went and seen ‘Life of Pi’ in theatres yesterday. It was a great movie, very beautifully captured.

How was your weekend?

    Looks like you guys had a great Family Day! We headed in to Red Deer to specifically go to Costco – it was closed. I died a little inside.

    It looks pretty! It’s been back and forth weather here. It was 45 degrees on Sunday. It’s supposed to blizzard tomorrow.

    Does Belle always wear glasses? She looks so nice in them. My 7 year old would be jealous. He wants glasses, so he can look like Clark Kent.

      Yes, she’s had glasses since November, for near sightedness. Yet, now that she’s dependant on them, her eyesight is worse. Boo! When she takes them off now, she looks so young!
      Your son could get fashion glasses, funny how kids these days think they are so great. Wait, does saying something like that age me?!

    It was bitter cold here for Family day (we’re in Ontario, sort of close to Toronto… sort of.) I worked for the morning (double time and a half is too good to pass up) and then we did some cleaning, which sounds boring but always ends up being a fun family activity with us. We put on some music and sing and dance while we’re cleaning. And then we played a board game, watched some youtube videos together, and sat down to a nice family dinner (which I cooked in the crock pot so it would’t interfere much with family day). With our crazy schedules, we tend to all eat at different times whenever we get hungry, and we usually eat in front of the tv, so it was nice to sit down together.

    I had a fantastic weekend considering why we did what we did. A few weeks ago we heard a very good friend passed away – only 45. How sad and leaving behind him, his 3 triplets – 6 year old little boys. It was a time to gather. All the group made arrangements, flew in from Oregon, drove up from Virginia, drove down from Vermont. We all met in Boston. We were the ones driving up from Virginia. 10 hours, but GrandPaul was only 2 more hours… so we continued on. This is where my boys spent all their time as we spend a day in Boston. Then we joined them for a day before heading back to Virginia. It was a whirlwind! But it was so worth it. The boys got to play and sled in the snow. Plus it snowed more while we were there! We usually only visit in the Summer. So this was a treat for all involved. I have to think that there was a message in the passing of our friend… don’t wait. Visit more often. I think there will be more Winter visits to Maine from now on.
