March Break moves on

Normally around this time of year I would be posting pictures of us enjoying a beautiful beach getaway, but alas, it was not meant to be this March Break. The nice thing about it though is that this March we were not buried under mountains of snow like we were last year. In fact, we hit some pretty nice temperatures for March, so all in all, not too much to complain about!

March Break started with a sleep over for Erin at Aunt Elaine's. She had a great time - judging by how tired (and CRABBY) she was when she got home on Monday afternoon! The did some swimming, fed the squirrels, ate junk food, watched some videos while munching on popcorn, and went to see the movie 'Hotel for Dogs'! Sounds like a great sleepover and a good explanation for the exhaustion (and CRABBINESS!). Tuesday Erin went to daycare and enjoyed a fun day of making mud cakes outside - I swear I must wash her coat daily at this time of year! Wednesday Erin and I met our new doctor (yeah..... we got into the health centre in town - much more convenient) then picked up Emily for a day of shopping. I took the girls out for lunch at Baton Rouge in Kanata - I cannot believe how much Erin ate! We then walked around Bayshore for a bit and had a great day! Thursday was Beach day at daycare. When we went in, the Beach Boys were blaring and the kids had hot dogs and chips for lunch, so what could be better?!!! Friday Erin went to daycare again and it was pajama day. They got to watch the movie 'Beverly Hills Chihuahua' so Erin was happy!

Saturday we decided to head to the maple sugar bush nearby and have pancake breakfast.....mmmmmm....pancake breakfast! It was delicious! It was also very busy, but well worth the wait. We also had Aunt Rita, Uncle Andrew, and Emily over for dinner. We bbq'd some steaks and had some good conversation. Today is lazy day. We are doing nothing. I'm exhausted and have a mountain of laundry to do and Erin is happily playing with barbies and playing school. I think it's nice to have a down day before school starts up again.

So yes, it's back to school tomorrow. It's hard to believe we are only 1 1/2 weeks until April! Spring is here and before we know it, it will be summer!

Not much is up for the week. Monday we are selling Girl Guide cookies - yup, everyone who reads this, you will be hit up to buy a box!! We are selling the chocolate and vanilla cream filled ones this time around! I think we will try to get a swim or two in this week as well. Friday Gord will be back to Kingston and will hopefully have clearance to begin to put weight on his left heel - keep your fingers crossed everyone!!! Next weekend we will be going to the annual spaghetti dinner in town. I went last year and it was a lot of fun and the pasta was yummy, so I'm expecting it won't be any different this year!

Well, I best head off for now. I'll catch up soon!
