Home Alone...

This particular post is dedicated to my wonderful and incredibly hard working husband. Pat has been extremely busy at work and hasn't been getting home until around 9pm... hence the title of this post. I have been alone, at home, with the boys... and an additional yet adorable dog, Morrie. Needless to say, it's been crazy for all involved. I promised Pat I would update the blog for him to read while at work, so he can remember what his children looked like :) He's in the home stretch now, this will help him through the last two days until his vacation. Enjoy, my love!



So, what's been going on around here? Well, Avery has had a ton of fun at school. Over the last few weeks, they have been doing some interesting things such as a field trip to the grocery store to get stuff to make fruit salad, a train ride through high park and making Popsicles. One day this week was pajama day and it was so much fun seeing all the little kids in their pj's. They also had their faces painted; Avery was a kitten and loved to "meow." Just when you think your child can't be any more adorable...





Elliott has been a giggling monster lately. Usually his giggles are accompanied by hiccups, a bit of spit up and drool, but it's heart warming nonetheless. He enjoys watching Morrie run around on our walks...well, until he falls asleep that is. As you can see from the photo below, E's days are filled with only the most exclusive play dates. Please don't let Avery know his toys are two-timing him. He'll be crushed.



Morrie has been the perfect gentleman while staying here. He's been so good with Avery, who loves chasing him around the house any chance he gets. Avery has been persistently asking us if he can bring Morrie to school. He's going to be quite sad when Morrie heads back to Ajax with my parents tomorrow. No, not sad enough for us to get a dog of our own though. Forget it!

Anyways, Elliott and I are really looking forward to Pat's vacation next week. There will be a trip to the zoo, some eating out and a lot of relaxation! We can't wait.
