pole dancing, babies and more!

This past weekend was a busy one! Saturday morning started off with our weekly ritual of heading with Little Miss L. to dance class. This momma skipped out this week to get ready to spend the day with some awesome ladies as we were celebrating the upcoming marriage of one beautiful couple. I can't wait for their wedding at the end of this month!!!

The day started out with a pre-cocktail munchies send off, then headed to pole dancing. I opted out of this event but I sure did enjoy chuckling to myself as I watched the ladies whip around those poles. I must say there were a few that looked like they may have done this before... I won't name names. After pole dancing, it was time for a quick change into our night attire and then off to dinner. We headed to Fat Tuesday's in the market - the market was full of life as it was the first really nice weekend when everyone was able to enjoy the outdoors. I had never been to Fat Tuesday's, but the food was scrumptious and the ambiance was just how I like it. We ended our dinner as we watched two very talented men duel it out on the pianos as they played some of our favourite songs. After our bellies were stuffed, we headed out for a little fun at the club. Everyone danced, chatted and maybe drank a little too much (excluding me) but all and all, it was a great night of celebration with some beautiful girls.
Time to get the champagne flowing!
The poles didn`t know what was going to hit them.
The beautiful bride-to-be.
I love these girls!
Now the party has arrived.
After only a few hours of sleep it was time to get our Sunday going. I whipped out the hairspray, lipstick and blush and started preparing Little Miss L. for her picture day at dance school. Little Miss L.'s dance recital is only a couple weeks away and she will be preforming Crocodile Rock. This is the very first time I had allowed or put makeup on my little girl. I couldn't believe how grown up she looked and I had the moment of "please, don't grow up!" After pictures were over, we were off to celebrate the baptism of one very special little man. It was a beautiful day and I can not emphasize enough how well this little guy behaved the whole day!!!

It was one busy weekend but it was great to spend so much time with all of the awesome people who surrounded us!

My sister-in-law is expecting another wee one about a month and half before me. It will be nice to have our children grow up together.

bachelorette girls night are back!

My guilty pleasure is back! That means Monday nights consist of a quick dinner, throwing the kids in the bath, and then a early bedtime is in order so this momma can get into her comfys and settle down to watch the Bachelorette. I am not sure what draws me - the cute looking guys, watching the men's true personalities finally break free, or the fact that I am still a hopeless romantic at the end of the day.

Yesterday, the girls came over and we made our predictions for this season. We had a few goodies to munch on to get us through the show. I think this will be a good season and look forward to the drama it shall bring.
Little Miss L. didn't want to miss out on the girls night.
What is the Bachelorette without some goodies to munch on?
Our good friend Chris - we missed you!

weekend catch-up

This past weekend, we were all in need of a little down time. For the last month, we have been on the go, and we all definitely needed to slow down and have some quiet time at home. I love love love weekends that consist of waking up late (yes, 8:00am is now considered sleeping in), staying in pajama's until noon, enjoying homemade crepes, taking long family walks and spending time with friends and family - we were lucky because this past weekend we were able to do all of those...
I snuggled all weekend with this little guy.
I love love love these chubby little hands.
Did a little baking. I love peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies.
These are yummy and taste like Reese Peanut Buttercups.
I love love love these sweet little feet.
It was time to work on our Halloween crafts.
Little Miss L. was excited to paint her brother's foot, but when the tables were turned, she was not as enthusiastic.
I finally had a girls night out. I love nights that involve a nice glass of wine,  yummy food, and lots of laughs.  Time with friends is truly good for the soul.
The leaves have finished changing colour and at this point, most have fallen off their branches. It makes me sad to see all the red, orange, and yellow disappear.
Time for a family walk.
The berries are still hanging on...
Little Miss L. thought she would clean up with a cattail.
