Day 48 - Shopping

Nothing exciting happened during the day.
I went shopping and bought Scarlet a couple shirts and a pair of pants. She's already 15 pounds so I bought her size 9 months even though she's only 3 1/2 months old! She's in the 90th percentile for height and weight! I just want them to fit in the summer.....lol
I also bought some crochet supplies
In the evening I went out for dinner with a couple mommy friends. One I haven't seen in awhile so it was nice to catch up over sushi and deep fried bananas....YUMMY!!

Day 47 - Stitch & Bitch #3

I got together again with the ladies (and Jaxson) on Friday night at Amanda's house. This time I was taught how to crochet. I've tried a few times to teach myself but I just couldn't figure out how to hold the hook and get enough tension on the yarn. Alicia was a pretty good teacher :) She showed me a couple different stitches and I went from there.

Day 46 - Little House on the Prairie

My mom and I have had a Mirvish subscription for many years. This means that we get to see a ton of musicals and plays in Toronto. I think on average we see about 6 a year. We've seen wonderful shows like Mama Mia, The Sound of Music, Chicago, Sweeney Todd, etc. We've also seen some crap like We Will Rock You.
Little House on the Prairie lands on the crap list. I'm not sure what they were thinking putting Melissa Gilbert in as Ma but it was REALLY wrong. She can't sing and I really think she forgot how to act. It's a shame but I'm sure they cast her thinking it would sell more tickets. I'm sure it has but I'm also sure that many other people were disappointed.
I wasn't allowed to take photos so here are a few from the website

Day 45 - Story Time & Craft

Today we went with a few friends to a local book store for story time. As usual, Declan preferred to play with the Thomas stuff while Scarlet and I listened to the Olympic themed stories and chatted with friends.
Amanda brought her niece with her who I think is a year older than Declan. He had fun playing with her and making an Olympic torch.

Day 44 - Little Tot Spot

We checked out Little Tot Spot with a few friends. We were the only ones there so it was nice to let the kids run/crawl around and for us mom's to sit around and chat. Declan had a buidling and tearing things. I really like this place and I hope it does well. We'll be going back for sure

Day 43 - Family Day

The day started by Grandma & Grandpa coming to pick up Declan to take him for breakfast at his favourite spot, Cora's. He hung out at their house for a bit and then came home for nap time. After nap, Grandpa came back over. We bundled up and he took Declan, Scarlet & I to the pond to skate. Grandpa put on his skates and Declan's bob skates while Scarlet & I watched from the sideline. Declan thinks once he gets his skates on that he can skate like the hockey players so after falling on his arse several times, his spirit was broken a bit. Grandpa tried really hard but it just wasn't working. Luckily I managed to snap a few shots while he was having fun! Later we all (including Adam) went to my parents house for a nice dinner..........anything is wonderful when you don't have to cook it yourself! My mom always has something for dessert which is a nice treat ;)

Day 42 - Snuggles with Baby

Every since Declan laid eyes on my Mon Chi Chi he was in love. It's a monkey doll I've had since I was about 5 or 6. He sleeps with it every night and at nap time. He goes where ever he's sleeping over but that's where it ends. I really didn't want him dragging this thing around everywhere with him. I also didn't want him to loose it and then be upset when it was gone. Last year I sent out an SOS to anyone and everyone who might know where to get another one. After searching the net, I found a site in the USA that sells them but the shipping was atrocious! I was all set to order it and have it sent to my friend in the States when...........I stumbled upon one at Home Sense. Gotta love that store! Here's my little monkey loving up his little monkey aka Baby!
