Weekend Recap

 Another Friday night, another pizza night.  It really is such a treat to look forward to our pizzas each week. E had several bubbles in his crust this week.




After we ate, we watched Christmas Chronicles 2. 

On Saturday morning, I took E to get his flu shot.

Then we cleaned the entire house.  It was our goal to get the Christmas decorations out so we needed to tidy up and dust/vacuum.  Q hung up his sock by the fireplace.



After a few hours of cleaning and lunch, the boys and I joined our neighbours for a walk. Meanwhile Dave went for a run and did a few more things around the house. 
It was a beautiful day.






We were gone for 3 hours! So you could say we were a bit tired when we got back.  I made some noodles and potstickers for supper.  We got the decorations up from downstairs and the boys put up the trees in their rooms. 




 The we got Q to bed early and the rest of us watched Home Alone. 

On Sunday morning we started decorating.  Q and E put the Christmas story booklets into our advent calendar.



We took a break from decorating to watch our church service.

E lit the first candle of Advent.  We don't have an actual wreath, I just plan on adding a candle each week.

After lunch E went to play with the neighbours (outside) and I took Q to pick up my order at Staples (with a quick stop at Starbucks of course), and then we went to a playground.  It was not in our neighbourhood but I had driven by before and it looked like something fun and new. 


And what a surprise, we ran into one of Q's friends, who also does not live in this neighbourhood so it was a chance meeting for sure.  They got to play together for awhile and I chatted with her parents.



We went home, the kids watched a bit of TV, and I did our meal plan and grocery order and then we got supper ready.  We also watched one of our favourite holiday shows, Mr. Bean!

E selfie while I was upstairs with Q. 

We watched The Mandalorian and then it was a pretty early night for us.
