One long fun day....

The ROM

Wow. Is the weekend over already? I don’t even remember what we did on Saturday – it just kinda came and went (oh – I do remember getting some more fish though, including 2 new really neat white angel fish). I LOVE our tank. It has provided so much enjoyment since we got it. FUN.

So yesterday my mum suggested that we take the kids to the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum). I really wasn’t expecting much. I thought it would be a bunch of boring exhibits and that the kids would be loud and wild and I would get stressed. I was so wrong. The ROM has an amazing floor that basically dedicated to kids and hands-on exploration. Sebastian was so darn excited. He LOVED everything. I was actually really impressed by his attention span. He would spend a really long time at each of the exhibits that caught his interest. Like the microscope…




Or the archeology dig site.


They also had all kinds of costumes for the kids to try on…
Check out Omi’s face… ha ha ha




Okay the adults got into the action too.




They also had a bunch of hands-on things activities like making these fossil prints.


CJ’s favorite part was looking at all the animal body bits that had been preserved in bottles…


Hello bunny.


Oh yeah, they also had giant dinosaur bones :)


SUPERBOWL

So when we were at the ROM I got a call from my friend Kat. She suggested getting together to watch the game! How perfect. That would be fun for the kids and for CJ and I too. So shortly before the game she and her darling boys came over. It was so fun. The kids occupied each other (Mackenzie is quite taken with Mitchell… she even mentioned him in her thankfuls last night - “and I am thankful for my boyfriend Mitchell…”) and the adults got to enjoy some conversation and some football watching. Unfortunately our oven decided to die about 10 minutes before game time. Luckily our old friend Wild Wings came through for us again!



Sebby and Evan had a really good time (once Sebastian got over his fear of sharing). At one point they were upstairs and things got a bit quiet. I knew they’d be up to something. I think I need to put a lock on my scrapbooking room door. Don’t they look guilty?



okay, either Seb has a crush on Evan or he’s checking out Kat’s butt.


So handsome.




It was a great day. Only 5 more days till next weekend :)
