This weekend was packed with adventures! On Saturday, we arranged for babysitting for Logan way in advance because we had plans to go to an escape room downtown. It was a Christmas gift from Chelsea and Warren so it was a group date with the Browns and Chels and Warren. It was Logan's Grandma's first time babysitting! Because of the crazy blizzard, Aleksy picked up my Mom and drove her to our place and then we headed downtown. Because we don't always have baby-free time, we took advantage of every minute and since we were half hour early, we trekked through the blizzard to the pub, the Morrisey House down the street for a beer before the escape room! It was cold... and snowy...
When Chelsea was booking the escape room she asked if we wanted to do the room with a 40% or 60% success rate and because we are friends with a lot of confident people, we chose the 40%. And because we are awesome, we were able to escape the room with 9 minutes to spare!
This is the champion picture after we escaped. Aleksy and Paul found the room very cozy.
I was surprised that I was really good at problem solving the clues in the room and figured out lots of the clues to get us out of the room! We had to unlock several clues so we could get the treasures in the room then escape within a 45 minute period.
After we escaped, we had some supper afterward back at the Morrisey house... again! It was the perfect supper spot for the blizzard day: I sat next to the fireplace.
And Logan did well with Grandma that night too... minimal crying reported.
<---- this cuteness happened on the Thursday before Valentines day. At Mom group, we dressed our little people in their finest (checkered shirts, sweaters..) and did a baby photoshoot. Logan was prepared and had valentines cards for all his friends!
This was my amazing Valentines morning!! Aleksy brought this little guy downstairs holding my Valentine gift just like this! That face is edible!!
I couldn't make those chocolates last and downed them all by Monday morning...
After Logan's morning nap, we headed to the Covent Garden Market to pick out our Valentines day supper! After we picked out our appetizers, pasta and meat and dessert, we stopped and had some lunch. Logan had one of us hold him while we had our chicken/beef and tabbouleh.. we took turns so we could eat. That high maintenance Logan...
Adult Valentines appetizers... with a hint of Logan.
The puppy's placement is all Aleksy...
Logan had a special day on Valentines day: His first time having pablum! He was all over it... knew what to do after one bite and whined between spoonfuls wanting more!
I had this brilliant idea since snowmaggedon hit: that I would buy a sled off kijiji and on family day we could take him out. So I had kijiji success and got the baby sled and on family day we got him all bundled up to go.
<---- then this happened. Sledding is actually a terrible time and a tad bit traumatic (according to Logan). It lasted a total of 2 minutes. So we went inside and made pina colodas instead. Family daying.
The soother stopped the crying briefly and we got a couple loops around our backyard....
That soother.. don't know whether to hate it or love it...
