the weekend

What a completely fabulous weekend I had!! And I'm topping it all off with a vac day to begin the week. Perfect.





Friday, Halloween, sooo much fun! The boys had such a great time trick or treating and the weather was something to be remembered. Growing up, we all remember Halloween nights that were bitterly cold or snowing and if you were like me, you would just suck it up and still wear that little costume without covering it with your big coat. BBBRRRR. I mean, that was when I was a bit older and venturing out on my own with friends...that coat would be ditched the first opportunity I had (hehe...good thing Mom doesn't read my blog (yet)). But this past Halloween, it was such a perfect and warm evening. No worries about bundling up....and we were off.



Everyone just loved the boys and their costumes. I think some of those women wanted to scoop my boys up as their own! One woman even gave Shane this purple strobe light thingy that he seemed fascinated with. And did Nicholas ever impress us with how well he used his manners. And if Shane didn't make it to every door, Nicholas would let them know that his little brother, Shane, was with him....so they would give Nicholas a treat to give him. He would come right over to Shane and give it to him in the wagon or put it in his Elmo. "Here you go Shane". Such a good big brother.

Saturday was my day/night away with Bonny. We met up around noon and headed to the hotel to leave my vehicle and our bags. We jumped in a cab to the theatre district and went for a quick bite and a glass of wine before the show. To the theatre from there to see Dirty Dancing http://www.dirtydancingtoronto.ca/. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! I have been to quite a few theatre performances and let me tell you, this one is my absolute favourite. If you have not been and have the opportunity, GO. And I'm certain if you have already been, you would go again in a heartbeat.....as Bonny and I are going to do. It was a great day....and we were impressed with our hotel choice (http://www.grandhoteltoronto.com/). Dinner was good and the company awesome. Thanks Bon, looking forward to the next time.



Sunday, back home to my three boys...we took Shane and Nicholas to the clinic to have both their ears checked as Nicholas was complaining of an earache on Saturday and we just weren't sure about Shane and if he had managed to beat his. They were both clear so that is a huge relief!

On a sad note....Johnathon's Uncle Frenchie passed away this weekend. Mom (Jeanette) has been down in Louisiana to be near him through this. Our hearts are with all of you down there.

Also, what seems to be quite tragic, my Aunt Carolyns former boyfriend and still close friend, died late last week. R.I.P. Bruce.
