A Busy but Fun Weekend....

We had an excellent weekend. Darryl's been really busy at work...working long hours...and not seeing much of the kids. So, we decided to spent the weekend together and do some fun stuff. And get some things done outside. Sorry that Darryl didn't make it to Karine's Birthday bash. I'm sure the dinner was yummy!!

We had Jim, Annabel, and the kids over for dinner on Friday night. The kids enjoyed playing together and we got to have a nice visit with Jim and Annabel. Shamus took a real liking to Jake so I hope that means that he'll be more interested in playing with Breagha soon! I think she's a bit too boring for him right now.

The weather has been super. (crossing my fingers that it continues) and yesterday it went up to +26. So, we took advantage of the warm weather and got to spend a lot of time outside. We went for nice walks with the kids, trips to the park, and got some work done outside. We did lots of raking, I weeded all the flower beds, and Darryl put down fertilizer/grass seed in the backyard. We're going to get some grass back there yet!!! I'm going to start buying some plants/flowers for the flower beds in the next couple of weeks. My sister is hoping to come and visit in May so I need to have nice, clean flower beds to show her! Her and Mom are the gardening experts...I suck...but I'm going to work at it!

It was nice to have sunny weather after all the snow/rain storms. And we got Shamus his first baseball glove so we tried that out too!! He's pretty cute!!

On Sunday we had Preetha, Joe, and Matteo over for a BBQ and the boys had some fun outside. They both liked the John Deer tractor that Cheryl bought Shamus and played some hockey in the basement that evening. Pretty funny to watch 2 year olds "play" hockey!

............and just wanted to end the posting with a picture of Shamus in his new undies!! He's been wearing underwear for about a month now but I wanted to show this picture to Mom and Aunt Judy. Thought you would get a kick out of his "MacNeil bum and legs"....skinny! Just like Dad and Lawrence! heheeeee... There definitely no meat of Shamus yet! But he is awfully cute in his underwear!..............
