Another week (or two) in review.

Okay… so let’s see. It’s been a couple weeks since I last blogged. Last weekend (i.e. 9 days ago) we had a long weekend. Omi was a star and picked up the kids from daycare on Friday and took them home with her. CJ and I met up for a wonderful sushi dinner with lots of sake… We then came home and spent about 5 hours watching Lost Season 3 episodes. What a great day. On Saturday, we hung out, watched some more lost and I went to the spa and got pampered – pedicure, manicure and brow waxing. After that I came home and CJ and I watched the last 2 episodes of Season 3… this just left us hungry for more. That is such an amazing show. I wish we had Season 4 on DVD too. Having to wait now for a new show every week is killing me.

In any case we picked up the kids from my mums and had dinner with her on Saturday night. On Sunday we were all invited over to the Woocks for dinner. It was lots of fun. Both kids had taken naps in the afternoon so we were able to stay until almost 10 without any over-tired induced melt-downs. It was a super fun evening. On Monday (Family Day), we had a bunch of friends over… the Woocks, Woods and Bev and Sophia came over. The kids had a blast playing together and I had a really nice time catching up with the ladies and doing some gossiping. CJ and Brian played guitars and watched some football so all in all everyone had fun.

So.. that was one weekend down… this past week at work was hell though. I just couldn’t get into it and I felt tired a lot. But we got through it. Kenzie was sick on Thursday. At first CJ and I thought she was faking to get out of going to school. But it turns out that she was really sick (we came to that conclusion after she threw up 3 times in about 20 minutes). Luckily Omi came to the rescue again and offered to watch both kids again during the day. This turned out to be awesome for everyone. #1) great for Kenzie cause Omi is an awesome nurse and loves to pamper sick people, #2) awesome for Sebby because he loves being with Omi nand he got to skip daycare, and #3) awesome for CJ and I cause mum kept the kids over night so CJ and I went out for a nice dinner again on Thursday night and then we came home and watched Lost again. This may sound boring to some, but I think CJ and I both LOVE evenings like this.

One Friday WE met Omi and the kids at Ikea after work. We had dinner at the cafeteria there. I also got to stock up on some European black licorice which I LOVE!!! YUM. Then CJ and Seb headed home and Omi, Kenzie and I (three generations of the ladies) headed downtown to watch a show. We went to see the Trinity Irish Dancers.



The show was amazing! I mean it rocked. We had great seats and all three of us LOVED it.

Here we are before hand at the hotel where we parked and had a drink before the show.


My princess. She looked so darn cute. I'm glad she wore this dress. She only likes wearing pink, but on Friday she humored me...


Aren't they super cute.

Let’s see… yesterday. CJ and I did a ton of cooking. We are having a lot of fun cooking all these healthy and tasty recipes. We now have a freezer full of lunches for CJ and I (spinach, bean,& turkey soup, and dahl and rice). Other than that we just hung out and .. well just hung out. CJ and I both did some running (CJ) / walking (me) on the treadmill.

Today I took the kiddos swimming. It’s the first time we’ve been in a long time. I think we all had a good time. But I was exhausted afterwards. CJ was a star and took over the kid-duties as soon as we got home. I went upstairs for a nap. Kenzie came and snuck into bed with me and took a nap with me. She is so cuddly :) I am going to miss it when she decides she’s too old to snuggle with me. After naps I got on the treadmill again. Now I am enjoying a well deserved “beverage” (yeah, a K-Pow… it’s the only reason I got on the treadmill in the first place). Soon we are going to start watching the Oscars – at least the red carpet stuff (which I enjoy more than the awards anyhow).

Tomorrow is back to work… and my boss is back. Yuck. Oh well. Here is something super cool… CJ and I have booked our vacation. We are going to the Dominican Republic in April. I am so darn excited. So knowing that this trip is booked is going to make the next 6 weeks either easier (because we have something to look forward to), or hell (cause I’ll be dying to go away on our trip).
