Thanksgiving weekend was fabulous this year, with blue skies and 20+ degree weather - just the way it should be.
We hosted my mom + sister's family on Saturday night. Hosted is pretty much it - my mom (in typical mom fashion) made the turkey and all the side dishes and it was delish! A great time.
Sunday, we went to Petrie Island and let the kids run! Loads of pics; playing in the leaves, in the sand on the beach, on the play structure...(SLEW of photos to follow.)
After all that activity, the kids collapsed in bed for the afternoon, then we went to Paul's parent's place for dinner. Fr Soucy was there - last time we saw him was at Nolan's baptism in December last year. Peyton greeted him by saying "you're the one who appetized me, right?" She is a riot. So she's now been corrected, and she's also had some exposure to WHAT a baptism is at school - so this past weekend she was asking about her "bath-tism." Hmmm...she may be on to something :)
Thanksgiving Monday was a quiet day spent at home with Paul and I tackling the never ending list of to-do's. We did manage to get the kids out to the "big park" in late afternoon - always a hit.
Back to work on Tuesday - then Wednesday brought bad news. My grandmother (mom's mom) had passed away. Expected, but a bolt of shock at the same time. My mom rushed up to Hearst (look north on a map of Ontario) and she just returned yesterday.
This past weekend was the second consecutive weekend of beautiful weather, and we certainly didn't take it for granted...
