This weekend was the first time since the summer where we didn't have a single thing on the calendar. Imagine! No hockey, no soccer, no baseball, no cheerleading, no birthday parties - nothing! Instead, we went to the zoo, we went for a hike by the sea, we made robots out of boxes, we organized the basement, we watched movies, we had lovely meals...and we didn't rush anywhere (or anyone).
Not once.
If that isn't the definition of a fabulous weekend, I don't know what is...
Benny, our shiny-eyed boy...
Sam at the zoo with the llamas and flamingoes.
Bashy in front of the weird North African giant rodents. This was the only place he agreed to pose for a picture (I tried in front of the cheetah, leopard and lions, but sadly, no. :)
Snacktime at the zoo. (We had lots of those). Oh yes- we also made rasberry muffins this weekend!
And here are Max and Jonah, who had a very different sort of weekend - in the snow in Calgary! In fact, from the sounds of it (in the few times he actually agreed to speak to me on the phone!) they had a whole wonderful Spring break week of lego-building, pie-making, sledding, hockey-playing, and Grandma-and-Grandpa-ing! Lucky boys :)
So truth be told, the very best thing we did this weekend was pick up our sweet Maxie at the airport. It's lovely to know he can be away from us and feel secure enough, at seven, to not feel homesick. But it's also lovely to have him be back home in our midst. Because truth be told, his Mama was a little Maxi-sick while he was gone...
But then again, if you've met Max (or have a Max of your own) - I know you don't blame me.
I know you understand.
