Georgia's Bedroom Finally Complete

March Break is over and everyone is back to school, back to work, back to regular routines. This morning was a little bit of a challenge - trying to convince the kiddies that going back to school was going to be fun! Seeing their friends again, celebrating spring tomorrow and getting ready for Easter. They didn't quite go for it...instead they marched out the door complaining, trying to come convince us that they should be allowed to stay home one more day.

I was actually a little relieved when I realized how much our kids enjoyed the break. We had so many friends who were going out of town on vacation and that left me feeling a little worried our kids would be bored...but au contraire! We had such a great 9 days. I was actually sad to see the kids and my hubby head back to school and work today. Made me wish summer could arrive a little sooner.

Some of the things we enjoyed over the break included:

Bowling with all the grandparents
2 Birthday celebrations
Hockey Skills Camp for Hudson (1 hour each day)
Gymnastics Camp for Georgia (a few half days with one of her besties)
Dusting off the bikes
Several hot tub sessions (who needs a bath??)
Dinner with friends
Our first trip to CHUCKE CHEESE'S
A St. Patty's day celebration at home
And we finally finished Georgia's bedroom! I mean really finished it. We moved over 3 years ago but never took the time to decorate any of our bedrooms, except for the nursery. It was time and it was actually a lot of fun. Georgia was so excited to be a part of the process - I don't think she would have had it any other way. We tried to incorporate everything...her artwork, mommy's paintings, gifts from friends, pictures and all her favourite toys - and I'm pretty sure we were successful.

Here's her "new" room:

3 years in the making -ha!

The license plate was a gift from a friend after Georgia was born and here's the crazy thing: we left for the hospital at exactly 8:09pm the night Georgia was born...how weird is that?

The next bedroom we conquer will be Hudson's and Jack's! Right after our trip to Great Wolf Lodge in a few weeks! We promised the kids we would plan a little family vacay after the break...and now it's official. The countdown is on!

Have a great week!

On a side note: Our neighbour who reads all my blogs before I post them is coming home tomorrow from her 2 month vacation and I can't wait to see her...we've missed having both her and her hubby around. And I've really missed having someone proofread all my blogs. Spelling is definitely not my area of expertise -ha!

To My Grandpa on his 100th Birthday

On Sunday my grandfather turned 100 and we had a beautiful celebration. I promise to post photos from the event once they are ready...I can hardly wait to see them! Today I decided to share my speech completely unaltered. If it sounds like I'm talking, it's because I literally recorded myself talking to myself about my grandpa...then I typed out what I said - almost word for word. It truly helped me to speak from the heart and talk about the memories I'll have forever... For my grandpa on his 100 th birthday… My grandfather was born on February 18 th , 1918…fast forward about 64 years, and that’s when I came into the picture. And that’s where I’m going to start. My grandfather has been a part of my life as far back as I can remember. At a very young age my mom and I moved into a neighbourhood in North Mississauga. Not long after my grandparents moved into their home just one st...

Tasca Park

A couple weeks ago it was a beautiful Sunday morning and all I wanted to do was pack up the car with the entire family and head out to enjoy the day. I was thinking something really fun - like heading to Center Island. The reality was we were completely unprepared for any kind of outing...especially one that required planning ahead and being organized. Instead we decided to save our Island adventure for another day (maybe even another year -ha!) and got to work cleaning up some things around the house. All those really boring things I hate doing on a Sunday, but those are the same things you're grateful you did when Monday morning rolls around. By the afternoon we were feeling ready and prepped for the week ahead but I still had that desire to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. My hubby and I decided to throw the diaper bag in the car, fill up the water bottles and head out to one of the local parks in Caledon...

Last Minute Ideas for your Christmas Elf

A little mid-week blog post…Just like last year I wanted to share some quick and easy last minute Elf on the Shelf ideas. I totally stole some of these ideas from friends and family but tis the season for sharing! Enjoy!! Ball Pit! Elves only! I've been doing a lot of yoga lately so I thought it would be fun if our Elf joined in on the fun! Our little guy Jack loved this one! He wanted Timbit to wash all his cars! I've seen this one used a few times and I think it's a great idea! The kids were really excited to fill the box and once it was full, they started a second one. They kiddies played tic tac toe all day! And then they ate the marshmallows (I used edible ink). We let our oldest three kids finish the pack of bubblegum! So of course this idea was a huge hit. The count-down to Christmas is on...Enjoy the rest of the week!
