A Wonderful Weekend in a Winter Wonderland

Wyatt in his snowsuit, still far too big but nice and warm!
Our Cute little Ethan

Family photo, we took a bunch, Ethan has his finger up his nose... and Wyatts suit makes him look like a giant!


Our Christmas lights and the wreath on the door. Kelly snagged a ladder from the house under construction next door. We didn't do the peak, too dangerous with all of the snow.



Wyatt and Ava spending some time together waiting for their brothers to finish playing. Even caught them holding hands at one point :)




Ethan and Wyatt





Ethat enjoying himself at the perc.






Wyatt all bundled up at the Perc!



Well winter (snow and cold temperatures) has hit Spruce Grove. It has been between -15 and -22 for the last five days. I don't mind it and I actaully love the snow (don't love the fact that our car slips all over the place) but I love being stuck inside because it is too darn cold to leave! It has been snowing again all day, not really accumulated but still beautiful. We had a great weekend. On Friday we took Ethan to the PERC for a run around. He is now the perfect age for the Perc, I used to have to watch him climb up everything, now he is steady and strong enough to climb and slide and play all on his own (well except for the one mishap where he stepped the wrong way off the slide). But other than that it is great because I can sit and chat and Ethan can play! On our way home we stopped at Canadian Tire to buy Christmas lights. We chose (after about an hour of deliberations--Kelly is highly indecisive) red, white and greed lights. We bought those and a nice pinecone wreath for the front door.

Home in time for lunch and Claire and I sent Kelly outside to put up th elights (please keep in mind it was -22 out). But he put them up and they look fantastic! Nice work Kel!

Saturday was Wyatt's baby shower. It was a great success, Wyatt was very spoiled and it was nice to have everyone over for a visit. This took up most of the day and then it was time to take Claire to the airport. It was so nice having her here I really didn't want her to leave, but she insisted she had to go back to work (seriously who works these days).... SO we stopped at Ikea on the way to buy some frames and away she flew. Kelly and I settled into watch what we thought was going to be a tight game between the Canucks and Blackhawks, we were somewhat dissappointent when they started losing, then losing badly. I fell asleep and Kelly wandered off... Terrible game, it is even more sad because we hardly ever get to watch the Canucks games because they are very rarely on our TV stations.

Wyatt didn't have a great night last night. Again up at least every two hours.... At four this morning he just wouldn't settle, he would eat, sleep for a few minutes, scream, eat etc.... Finally we fell asleep, thankfully Ethan slept in this morning so we all rolled out of bed around 9. It was weigh in day, I wasn't expecting much, seeing that there has been to many delicious food products surrounding me for the past week, and as I expected I had gained 0.4 pounds. Dissappointing yes, but it motivated me to go down to our 'home gym' for a 40 minute workout. I could hear Ethan and Wyatt crying from the basment and Kelly attempting to deal with everything, but I pretended I didn't hear it and continued on.

Our big outing for the day was go head to Superstore to pick up our pictures. We only brought the single stroller so Kelly was walking with Ethan. I walked up to the photo lab, and it was the doof who couldn't find my photos last time. Oh great... there was lady right in front of me who was hoping to pick up her pictures she had dropped of half an hour ago (hey newsflash lady it is a one hour service). It was at this point Wyatt started screaming.... the doof from the photocentre decided to instead of telling her the photos werent ready yet went and got them out of the machine (slowly) and figured everything out so she could take them early, even though they weren't done. So I was waiting, Wyatt was screaming and Ethan was with Kelly in the toy department. I heard a loud SMASH, everyone turned to see what was going on. Kelly and Ethan came flying around the corner. I looked at Kelly and said "was that you guys". He said Yes.... Ethan had smashed a giatn piggy bank on the floor (in his defense it was a soccer ball piggy bank). What little child wouldn't try to pick it up off the bottom shelf... dumb Superstore... Anywho, FINALLY get the pictures and we are outta there. We had a very relazing (both kids sleeping) afternoon!,
