Wednesday 27 November. More snow, but not as much as Tuesday. Spent most of the day waiting for Todd to show up with his snow blower, he did which was a relief as it would have taken me all day to clear nearly a foot of snow off the drive. Also packing and panicking about whether we'd be able to set off on our now obsolete but non-refundable adventure tomorrow.
Thursday 28 November. Drove up to Barrie through more snow, glad I wasn't driving, for aborted house hunting trip. Highlight of the kid's day was Eastside Mario's kids meal dessert. See below for pictorial explanation.
Friday 29 November. Shopping on Black Friday. Yes I know, very foolish with children but despite crowds and kids it was quite productive. I bought a smart and stylish jacket that I love but will only find an opportunity to wear once a year. Jacob has 2 new/old DS games, Rose got a revolting headband and Tom bought an entire new wardrobe in 1 shop at 40% off and will not have to go shopping again for 2 years. How do men do that?
Then the kids and I went swimming in the extremely well designed hotel spa. The pool was small, only 3 feet deep and entirely visible from the very nice hot tub which was too hot for the kids, perfect.
Saturday 30 November. We went out looking for a second hand book shop for Tom and Jacob bought some awful books of the Worlds most disgusting/scary things. I discovered that I hadn't packed enough tops for Rose so we also called into a thrift shop and bought a rather fabulous sweater (no photo yet) and some sunglasses.
The Kids and I swam (for the third time) and went to see Free Birds at the Cinema while Tom and Gary went for a Beer. Jacob enjoyed the film and the seats in this cinema were slightly better designed than those in Sarnia so Rose only fell down the back a couple of times, also the 3d glasses matched her new top so that was a success.
Sunday 1 December. Drove home via Burlington where we will be moving in the next couple of months. It took a long time and I would prefer to forget being squashed between the kids in the back of the Camry while Jacob regaled me with facts about leeches, tape worms, horrible skin diseases etc from his new books, but Burlington looks OK.
Monday 2 December. Went grocery shopping and panic bought expensive Lindt advent calenders as had forgotten all about them. Went to quilting pot luck lunch and finished a Christmas gift that cannot blog.
Tuesday 3 December. Was sick.
Wednesday 4 December. Felt better and spent all day volunteering at School Christmas Lunch (no respecting all religions for that one then!).
Thursday 5 December. Made final home made Gift for posting to UK (hope it gets there in time) and found this little ensemble posing the lounge.
Today I am blogging and then will be trying to catch up on the mountains of house work that remain undone after my busy few days.
