Weekend Recap

We had a nice weekend. Friday was "Girls Night" here. And by girls night I mean, Abby, Gillian and Me - no crazy partying, don't worry! Eric plays hockey on Friday nights, so it's just the girls, and we usually have a good time. This was a short girls night, because Eric came home right after his game ended at 6:30. The rest of the night was spent watching the Olympics.

Saturday we did errands in the morning, we dropped pants off for hemming, Eric got his hair cut, and various other things at the Rideau Center. We went early enough so it wasn't too busy. I took Gillian out of the stroller to walk on her own and she did a pretty good job staying on track, only veering off into a couple of stores and stopping outside of Aldo to dance to the music blaring inside! People were giggling at her and I had to keep one woman away from grabbing her. What is with people needed to grab and stroke your children. I know they are cute, but hands off buddy!! When we returned home we had some lunch, Eric went for a run, and the three of us got some much needed nap time in.

Saturday night Shawna and Paige came over at the last minute for supper. Her hubby Scott was away camping for the weekend, so she didn't want to be alone.


We whipped up a delicious meal of stir fried garlic shrimp, braised baby bok choy and steak. After supper, we gave them all a bath which was cute!




We put Gillian to bed, then lit our outdoor fire, which we had prepared the other day, and roasted marshmallows for dessert. I love when we have a fire, I really don't know why we don't do it more often, it's so relaxing and unique to be able to do that right in our backyard! Abby didn't stay up much longer, but Paige could not be separated from our little slide. She kept going back over and over again! Hopefully she slept well that night for Shawna.

On Sunday, Eric volunteered at the yacht club, and we played outside all morning. In the afternoon we went to Eric's parents place for a swim and ended up staying for supper. I think Abby will really become a water bug, because we couldn't take her out of the river, even when she was shivering and chattering her teeth!

Overall it was a nice weekend!
