Winter Blahs...

We aren't even two months into winter and I feel like I can't even remember what warm weather feels like. We got a slight taste of it on Friday, when the thermometer reached a balmy 3C. But really, spring seems nowhere near in sight.

We've been trying to keep busy with mommy groups and other activities. During our swimming lesson last week, we dunked Avery's head for the first time. He was not happy about it. Apparently, that's the usual response from kids, so I wasn't too concerned. I am sure this week we will try again - and I'll keep my fingers crossed for a better response from the A-man.



I must admit, I have been lazy as of late, and haven't been attending Stroller Fit as much as we used to. It's hard to be enthusiastic about walking for an hour or so in -20C weather. I am really going to make a solid attempt to go more often again. Avery naps really well during these walks and its always fun to socialize with the other moms.



This weekend was kind of tough for us, as Pat came down with a nasty cold. He actually rivaled Avery for the amount of hours he slept! Yesterday Av and I caught a bit of cabin fever and headed out to Yorkdale for some retail therapy. Avery flirted with some workers in one of my new favourite stores - Pistachio. I behaved myself and only bought a Valentine card for my sick husband.

This is another solid packed week for us. Today, Nanny and Oopa are visiting (while I head off to the dentist). Tomorrow we have swimming and a visit from Ashley. Wednesday, we will be seeing Camille and Jay (as long as his doctor's visit leaves him in a well enough mood - here's hoping!). Thursday we are seeing Allison for coffee in the morning and then we are taking Michele out for lunch. Thursday evening we have our weekly visit from Misty. Then it's Friday, which we might use to just chill out alone. Hopefully Pat is all better by this coming weekend. We are planning on attending the Winter Carnival in the Junction and then hitting up some more furniture stores.

I'm feeling the confinement too. Looking forward to springtime walks. The picture of Avery with the spoon is so perfect!
