January Weekending

We've been busy this month for weekends. The weekend after New Years, I got a message during the week from my sister asking if we could go to a Knights game with her and Jon. I think it may have even been the Thursday before the Friday game. Somehow, we were able to magically get my Mom to come over to babysit and put the goober to bed while we went out to the game!

Friday Knights game complete with beer with a straw and popcorn.

Jon's family has seasons tickets and couldn't make the game so we scored the night out!

It was a pretty good game to watch too. It was tied and went into overtime and the Knights won almost immediately in overtime.

So we celebrated after with another drink. Milos was packed, Marienbads was closed so the next best thing... Poachers! We haven't been there in years. It was weird to be in a bar-like scene. But we had another drink and being the cool kids we are, we were back home by 11 (also to let my Mom go home to sleep!).

Logan and me made cookies the next day - with the cookie mix that was in the mason jar from the Osbornes. Cookie makign happens ont eh floor.

Logans getting so good at helping with baking!

 And our chooclate chip cookies:

Since we finished up the cookies, the jar was empty to start filling with all our memories from 2017... Including the knights game!

It's going to be so fun reading through the memories on New Years next year.

The following weekend, on Friday Jan 13th, we went to Aleksy's work New Years party,. which was 80s theme. It was at the Hilton again and this year it was buffet style. Lots of healthy options too... and a dessert table!

Aleksy was on th planning committee, so we had to get there early. About 5:30... and I swear only 2 people showed up between then and 7:30pm!

This costume won Aleksy 1st prize!

The 80s theme went over better than I would have thought for a work party! Lots of people participated and lots of decorations: rubics cubes, records, gum ball machines, trivial pursuit... and a photobooth! The photobooth had an awesome 80s backdrop of the pictures records, rollerskates, coke bottles and even a guetto blaster.

Aleksy didn't feel the need for company at the photobooth. As you can see, this was later in the evening and there was no shortage of drink tickets!

And we made all the way to the end of the night. It was a late one. We got home just before 1am! The lights went on and we swore it was just 11pm.

The next day we were very tired people. We had a lot of coffee, a nap (when Logan napped) and also tried out the new play away indoor playground in the east end. Logan had the time of his life.

He's playing here with his friend Cadence!

On the orange slide, you can see the goober going down!He can do so many things that big kids do now! This happened so fast... he just learned to walk 3 months ago!

And we had a supper play date after the play away park and Logan showed Cadence around his kitchen set. He loves his kitchen and especially the plastic food!
