4. Plans for fitness classes for me – yay!
5. Tomorrow is the zoo – I can’t wait to see all the animals!

1. Second last playdate of the week is today…whew!
2. Plans to go to the zoo on Friday!
3. Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion
4. My husband’s support ~ we are definitely more consistently working as a united team in the discipline of our children ~ essential, as far as I’m concerned
5. Meeting relatives this weekend who are visiting from Europe.

1. A nice lazy morning
2. Finding a Wal-Mart that still had the 3D glasses we need for an upcoming tv special
3. Getting all the errands done with a bit of time to spare
4. Another playdate completed….why did I make this week so hectic??? Never again.
5. Bloody Caesar (an alcoholic beverage made with Motts Clamato and Vodka with a dash of Tabasco and a dash of Worschtershire sauce and a celery salt rim & salt and pepper to taste – garnished with a lime wedge and a stalk of celery). Yum!

1. SoveryAudreyH ~ for her SuperCheer & for just being her! I am so fortunate to have such a great supporter as you :)
2. A fantastic playdate today! Our children get along and we do too – I know that she’ll be a very good friend of mine.
3. Gorgeous sunny weather!!
4. Dinner last night at Kelsey’s and watching Journey to the Center of the Earth – the kids loved it!
5. A clean and tidy house.

1. Time alone with my husband
2. Husband deciding to stay home today instead of going to work ~ a great surprise
3. Watching the Tour de France – the whole family enjoys watching it!
4. Potential plans for a movie night – Journey to the Centre of the Earth
5. Blueberries ~ I love them.

1. Another fantastic soccer game – the kids were all great! Plus I had great conversations with the parents on the sidelines – great people.
2. Going to Costco on my own while hubby did his track workout and the kids stayed and rode their bikes, etc.
I found a great new frying pan & some comfy pillows for the kids to use by the tv
3. Sunny day, windows open, cool breeze, great music
4. A wonderful visit with my Godmother and her husband at my parents house. I love getting together with family.
5. Carrying each of my little ones up to bed after a late night of visiting ~ my sweet darlings.

1. Both kids completed their swimming levels today and passed! In two weeks we begin again with the next level.
2. Eldest got to go down the big slide today at the end of class (you’re supposed to be a year older to go down but it was a special occasion today)
3. Our playdate today was great – great family, lots of fun
4. Homemade macaroni and cheese – so yummy :)
5. My husband’s help cleaning up the playroom downstairs – I would’ve been there quite a while if I was doing it alone!

1. Little one jumped off the diving board without a lifejacket for the first time today! No fear – lots of laughs :) Eldest did very well also, of course!
2. New friendships
3. My husband
4. Muesli with milk, topped with blueberries and raspberries – my new favourite breakfast!
5. The kindness of strangers

Bonus: Another gorgeous day!

1. Playdates galore! We have about 5 playdates coming up in the next little while! No chance of the kiddies being bored :)
2. Little one had a nice long nap today – and boy, was it needed!
3. Greenworks cleaning products
4. A nice, quiet day at home
5. Possibilities…

Bonus: Google Maps – street view ~ thanks Renee ~ I also got to take a trip down memory lane!

1. Swimming class – the kids keep getting better each class! The progress they are making in this 2 week program is fantastic – far better than when they would only take classes once per week.
2. Costco – for its bulk packaging and ‘one-stop-shop’ convenience.
3. A great appointment for eldest at the endocrinologist – A1C is 7.2!!!
4. Shopping for summer dresses at the ‘big’ mall – as eldest would say. She scored 6 new dresses yesterday (most of which were on sale).
A blue one from Old Navy, a retro cool yellow one from the Gap, and four others from H&M. She is a great little shopper.
5. Dinner at Alice Fazooli’s restaurant last night – expensive but very good.

Bonus: The movie Flushed Away – very funny.
