Day 7: Bar night, Smar night

So why is it that every time I have an evening that is kid free that I always end up changing my plans 3 or 4 times? Nothing ever works out on kidfree nights...ever. But I make the best of what I'm given.

Tonight, I was supposed to hang out with my BFF. We had made plans to go to Symposium for dessert and then I was going to come home and organize my room.....well we went for dessert and she managed to talk me into going to the bar with her for a little bit. I was DD so we were just going to say hi to a few people and had agreed to leave at midnight.

Well we got to the bar, and the line was outrageous! It was at least an hour wait and that does not = fun when you're wearing stilettos. So we decided to go to a different bar where her brother could get us in and avoid the line.....well he's had no plans to go there before 11:30 so we nixed that idea pretty quickly. So on the drive home, we decided to go to McPukes....in our bar clothes.

Two chicks in Mcdonalds at 11:00pm...one in a dress and the other in stilettos. We got a few funny looks thats for sure. But we had a good time and thats all that really matters.

On the way home we realized that it was this exact night last year that we tried to go to the same bar....well we did actually go. But we waited in line for 45 minutes and I had frozen toes...it was an awful experience so I'm glad we managed to avoid it this year.

Day 6: Whoa...its Wednesday already?

Okay, so Wedneday was supposed to be Wishlist Wednesday...but I really don't like that idea anymore...so we're going to nix it.

I really don't have any idea of what to write about today, we were stranded at home until I realized that the car was in the driveway and then we went grocery shopping with some friends. A pretty boring day.

Heres the one and only picture from today, I just snapped it (in the dark...and he's on the top bunk so I know it's an awful one) Poor kiddo is adjusting to no naps and he's been exhausted the last few days. I'm hoping he goes back to having a short one when he's back to daycare next week.

Tomorrow, I promise something of substance.

Day 5: Babywearing = Love

I miss this.

and this.

we were pretty goofy.

babywearing was really special to us....

it helped make emotionally draining trips easier on both of us.

it allowed this mama to go to family functions

what else can I say....

babywearing = love

Day 4: Brrr!

When I woke up this morning, the plan was to take Jake out for the day to do something fun. I wanted to take him to Chuck E Cheese for lunch (he loves it, I've never been) but with my moms birthday being yesterday, I need a new sticker for my car before I can go anywhere. So I had to come up with a plan B.

It's still freezing outside, but I figured we could brave it for a little while to get out of the house. We went tobogganing at the park near our house and then played in the slides for a bit.

Day 3: Happy Birthday Mama

Today is my Mommy's Birthday!

We spent the day grocery shopping and then went to my grandmas for dinner and cake. My Mom shares a birthday with my Aunt Sue, so it only seems right to celebrate them together.

It was extra special this year because my cousin Matthew, who is in the Army in Edmonton, was able to join us. They give him a month off at Christmas, so he came back to Ontario with his girlfriend Jackie to celebrate Christmas with her family. They came to Kitchener on the 29th and we were able to visit with them a few times.

No new pictures from today, however I'll leave with a few pictures of the birthday girls....

Happy "39th" Birthday Ladies!

Day 2: Baby, Its cold outside.

Brr! Jake really wanted to go tobogganing today but when I looked at the weather network and saw that it was -24 with the windchill, I decided we would stay inside.

We've spent the day watching movies, cleaning up and organizing our stuff. I went through all of Jake's old clothes and took pictures so I could put them all up on kijiji. I'm hoping to finish that tonight, I could use some extra cash right now.

Here are a few pictures of my goofy boy while we were cleaning today.

Day 1: Foto Friday

Well here we are, the first day of 2010....so far, so good.

I spent NYE with one of my best friends, Nicole. She had a black and white party and while it was a fabulous idea in theory....I think I can say we were both really disappointed with the results. I'll make a long, long story really short and just say that I spent the night with a bunch of 17 year old dimwits that thought they were hot shit. I'm suprised I didn't deck atleast one of them. I felt like a babysitter of sorts. As much as I did not enjoy the company of alot of the guests, I'm glad I got to spend the last night of 2009 with Nicole. Next year, I'm either staying home or spending it with a few friends my own age....no more house parties for me.

Here are a few pictures of New Years Eve 2009.

Welcome 2010, I can't wait to see what you have in store for me.
