A bunch of events packed into a long weekend, starting with:
Girls night! On Friday night we went to forrats chocolate lounge for some bubbly, chocolate fondue and a cheese platter! We had such a great night that when they turned the lights on at 12:20am to close, we thought it was 11pm! Good conversation and food and then bam 4 and a half hours passes.
Saturday morning, we made plans to meet at Fanshawe Conservation area for a picnic, bike riding and some park play.
Logan has been awesomely riding a 2 wheeler like a crazy 3 year old for a few weeks now, but he took a little break after a big wipe out here on the gravel! He's now back at it and was riding amazing around the park last night!
Logan helping Leah back to the car after our picnic and some park play. After a rainy start to the day, we ended up meting for noon and it was really nice weather! Leah was covered but I didn't sunscreen her face and she got her first baby sunburn on her cheeks :( Its the 16 degree cloudy days that throw the sunscreen need off!
Just a few big kids proud with their 2 wheelers.
When we got home, we had some good backyard play. Logan had picked out water balloons for his prize the weekend before (Logan has a behavioural/chore chart and when he gets all his stickers for the week he picks a prize!) and didn't get to use them because it was chilly. He picked them to "throw water balloons at Daddy".
And so this is his dump truck full of water balloons and he loved throwing these at us!
Leah and my favourite spot in the backyard... ok maybe mines the fire pit but the swing's pretty great. But Leah loves her swing... an the swings at the park which we stop by lots when out for our (pretty much daily) walks.
On Sunday, we made plans for a bbq and fire with our friends. We had about an hour of outside play in the windiest non rainy time and then we had to bring the troops inside. Our place never feels as small as it does when we pack in 10 kids and their parents inside!
We missed out on spidey dogs and smores but still managed to get the bbqed burgs and dogs done before the rain came!
The kids didn't mind that we were rained out and had tons of fun playing! And story time was a hit too.
The rain cleared that night and so we got our fire after all! We had to squeeze a fire in for the long weekend. With our tiny box of wine that we really did a number on that day. Red wine and fire goes hand in hand!
And holiday Monday, we planted our planters in the front and back with the plants that we had picked out that weekend. Logan is always helper extraordinaire with outdoor chores.
This was taken a couple days later in the morning, but I just wanted to note how well these 2 play together now! Since Leah started crawling a month or so ago, Logan loves crawling around with her and she loves following him. While they crawl around getting into stuff, Logan says "we're the goofers!". The best name for these monkeys!
