Beaches and Batman

On Saturday Neil arrived. It happened to be the coldest day of the year so far, with temperatures below freezing and a biting wind. Needless to say, we were very excited to finally see him!

I have been anticipating with great excitement Neil's first taste of pumpkin pie, and he has decided that he quite likes it. He was also very happy with my banana bread, which is a great thing because I like making it a lot.

On Sunday we took a walk in the morning. We walked down Bay Avenue and stopped at Veterans Park for Michael to play while we sat and had coffee/hot chocolate. It is a nice little park, and the weather was much milder on Sunday. Afterwards we did a bit of shopping, on the neverending quest to find Lego Batman sets. No luck. We stopped at Amy's Restaurant for lunch, had burgers, (Mike had chicken) and headed home before going to Al and Karen's, house for a dinner of chinese dumplings and a night of Faces and Rock Band. We had a great time singing and playing and rushed home to get Mike's bath in before bedtime.

Monday Mike was back at school, so Neil and I spent the day together before collecting him at 1pm. We went to Target and got a great deal on some shoes and a pair of Batman pajama's for Neil. At 2:15 we had a parent teacher conference, and Michael is doing quite well in school. Afterwards we picked up Daniel and went down to the beach for some outdoor playtime (Brrrr!!!!!) They had fun writing in the sand with sticks, running, jumping and skipping rocks.

Today we dropped Mike at school, went shopping again! FOUND Lego Batman sets!!! Checked out the comic store, had a diner breakfast, did our shopping and collected Mike.
