Over Already

Ugh.

How is it that this glorious long weekend is over already? I loved having everyone home at once and it passed entirely too quickly.

Yesterday we all enjoyed a slow start to our day, then headed over to the mall which is my most favourite place in the entire world!!

NOT!

My mission: Find a new winter coat for Julie. Easy peasy, right? Oh, if only.

We started at Old Navy where she found an adorable white coat that looked fabulous on her. Yes, I know. White. Not even I am dumb enough to buy a white coat for an 8 year old.

We looked in just about every kids' clothing store in the mall but couldn't find anything. Out of desperation we even checked out The Bay. I took a look at the price tag on the first coat I saw and hollered said "Holy CRAP!!!" Julie sighed and said, "I guess that means we're leaving."

Yes ma'am, you are right!

By the end of the day we had finally found a coat with snow pants at a price I could deal with. By that time we were all pretty crabby and very excited to go home.

I bought Jordan a long sleeved orange shirt for $5.99. I love me some orange. I also bought her a hat and mittens for $7.00. They're so cute. Luckily I found Julie's old snowsuit from when she was this age so that Jordan can wear it.

Sam and Julie both have their Hallowe'en costumes now, and we are on the lookout for Jordan's. Last year she was a black cat. I'm thinking that this year she should be a little princess. Whatever it is, it needs to fit over her winter coat because I have a feeling that Hallowe'en is going to be very chilly this year.

Gotta love living in Canada!

Today was pretty productive. I worked on cleaning the kitchen and washing the floor and some laundry, Ian worked on our room and the children cleaned their rooms.

I am now watching Dancing With The Stars. My childhood crush on Donny Osmond has been revived. I hope he wins.

I am thinking of making Cake Balls. They look a little time consuming but fairly easy to make. I'll let you know how it goes.

Not much on the calendar for this week. Bible study on Wednesday, Girl's Club on Thursday, my in-laws on Saturday.

Later 'gators.
