horse and pony, shopping, St. Patrick's Day, The Gates

yesterday Tavin coloured a picture for me but didn’t want to give it to me… this morning he went and dug it out from where he had hidden it and gave it to me…

then he proceeded to organize all the pictures on the fridge…

we had a lovely brunch with some of Crystal’s friends and the boys were very excited to feed the horses…  the horse was very delicate, and only took one small bite of the carrot at a time…  the pony took the whole carrot and dropped it on his side of the fence to eat at his leisure…

we went shopping for Crystal’s birthday present… once I got home I had a bit of a rest and watched some TV as my tummy hasn’t been feeling fabulous…

it has been overcast, snowy and windy for most of the day and apparently it will be like that tomorrow as well…

I am off to bed, thinking how George would have enjoyed the brunch this morning… like the boys, he loved bacon…

fun-filled day…

fun-filled day, hot tub, shopping spree, sleepover, The Gates

went shopping downtown with Crystal and Tavin and I found all kinds of things to buy…  I got an long purple coat for a steal, some new slacks and a number of tops…  they will go nicely with my two new jackets from Thursday’s shopping spree…

we ran into a colleague while we were shopping and we were guessing that many others from work were out getting new duds as well, as we are getting our photos taken professionally on Wednesday, lol…

Tavin and Crystal both brought me things to try on and both of them have very good taste…

we stopped for lunch and then headed to St. James where we found a few other items…

when the kids left, Tavin stayed with me for a sleepover…  we are getting picked up at 10:30 tomorrow morning to go to The Gates for brunch to celebrate Crystal’s birthday (on Monday)…

we’ve watched TV, a movie, scarfed down popcorn, and have just come in for a lovely hot tub… the stars were bright and we could hear the hockey sticks hitting the pucks over at the community club…  Tavin particularly liked how we could see the stars and lights from the planes…

now we have picked a picture of him with Grandpa in the hot tub and he is just about ready for bed, as am I…

we talk about Grandpa a lot, and were both wishing Grandpa would have been with us in Mexico and what fun he would have had…
