Supersize my weekend, please
We had a lovely weekend. When Nich and I really want to feel like we're having an extra long, relaxing weekend- we do a fun little getaway on Friday night. (Side note: we call this "Supersizing our weekend" because we arrive home early Saturday afternoon, with so much fun and relaxation under our belts, that we feel like the weekend must be over aready- when in fact it has just begun. You should really try it sometime.)

So, on Friday, we booked a suite at the Wall Centre in Vancouver, I packed while the kids took their afternoon nap. Nich came home from work a 1/2 hour early (3:00), we threw our bags in the car and left for our mini-vacation.

The girls had their own room, and Eva is always thrilled to be staying in a "tall tower". She was also thrilled that her blow-up giraffe made a reappearance from it's long winter slumber- for a trip to the indoor pool.


I was thrilled with our new tradition of eating-in Sushi and Vietnemese Iced Coffee. And we also randomly met up wih Nich's cousin, so I got to go on a downtown shopping spree with her on Friday night.

Nich was thrilled that his boss (also staying at the Wall Centre that night) surprised us ith a visit and a bottle of wine.

And Kaitlyn, well, she's always happy. Especially when playing with her Daddy's shoes.



As it turns out, I have a lot to learn about my camera- and Photoshop for that matter. One day, I really do hope I have time to take a photography class, or online tutorial or something. But, time? What's that? I'm pretty sure that's something I had when there was only one child in the house.


And, that's all for now. Little Miss Kaitlyn is awake from her nap, and I have bread to bake.
