Our weekend

This weekend Amie's Sparks group went to camp, but since Amie didn't go we had our own camp here on Saturday. She invited her friends, Reid and Skye over to play and they did crafts and then played out in the yard and roasted marshmallows to make S'mores.

 

We went out to supper tonight to Boston Pizza at Cross Iron Mills for Mike's birthday. Erica actually did quite well - usually it is a nightmare and we stopped eating out for a while. It could have something to do with us sitting down at 4 pm- the only other people at that time are seniors and other people with kids! She is also enjoying colouring now and dipping things in ketchup, so that allowed us to finish our meals.

Erica is enjoying a whole new world walking around at the mall. She stops to look at people and things and does not want to be picked up, which makes for a long trip walking through the mall. She also has the scream and back arch, with a limp body, perfected when forced to do anything.

Our Sunday started out with breakfast from McDonalds, a trip to Amie's school playground to meet friends and have a little play in the park and then home for Mike and Erica to have a little nap. Then we headed out for a quick trip to the mall. All in all a busy day for us!

Well, Amie is now 6 years old !! And Erica is 13 months! Where does the time go? I feel like the weeks just fly by and I definitely had a moment of feeling like Amie, especially, is growing up way too quick.

Amie is doing a Zoomba dance class along with Sparks now and is really enjoying both activities. We have been busy having playdates and just doing day to day stuff. Steph got Amie a Just Dance game for the Wii and she's been dancing up a storm! We've seen Jann and Syd the last couple weekends and had a crafty Sunday last weekend, which was really fun.

Erica is walking like crazy and saying some words: mom, dad, hi, bye, ya, no, and ruff (for a dog), which actually sounds like fa, which reminds me of Steph :) She loves mike and reaches her hands out to him as soon as she sees him. She also loves to tease and pretends to give something, but pulls it away at the last second or reaches out to me when Mike's holding her and then laughs and shakes her head no when I try to take her.

Steph just got engaged this weekend and has a beautiful ring. She's very happy and it looks like they'll be heading off to a destination wedding in a couple years!

The weather has been nicer this past week and I'm feeling anxious for springtime!
