Piano Recital 2017

Little K isn't quite ready for a piano recital, but when he is, this mama will be tearing up! 

 

His piano instructor had a recital for all his more advance students. 

It was held at the University of Toronto.

This was our first of many piano recitals to come! 

The recital was beautiful. All very talented children. Some were so young and so talented they made me tear up! 

One day Little K will be up there! 

And baby M too because I couldn't keep him away from that piano! 

We had a fun afternoon. See all the pics below! After the recital we walked around the campus. 

 

And of course we went for a yummy sushi dinner afterwards! 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

Victoria Day long weekend!

We began our weekend with soccer! The start of soccer season! 

Little k's soccer club teamed up with TFC to have a soccer kick off for the kids.

Little K had a blast! 

There was music and a free TFC gift bag. A fun soccer evening for the kids. Perfect way to start the season! 

 Saturday we had a shopping date

And stopped over at one of our favorite bakeries. Yum! 

Some yummy pineapple buns and bubble tea! 

We had a visitor that evening! We babysat my niece and the kids had a blast playing in the backyard and having a movie night with lots of snacks! 

So much fun! 

 

This little cutie calls me Anna, which we all find so funny haha. 

Not even 2 yet and he's so independent and let's you know exactly what he wants. He's so funny and cuddly and talking so much more these days. 

I posted this picture on instagram the other day. A lot of moms were posting pregnant pictures and their newborns . 

Ahh these cuties! 

The rest of the weekend we relaxed, had BBQ, went for walks, watched fireworks, watched movies and had fun! 

We are excited for the nice weather and all the summer fun! 

 

 

 

 
 

 
 
 
 

 

Second round of eartubes

Baby M has suffered from so many painful ear infections and so many rounds of antibiotics since he was 5 months old. 

Last week this little cutie had his second round of ear tubes put in. 

We had to be at the hospital at 6am!

This little man was soo brave! 

The hospital was great. They had some toys to keep the kids entertained. Baby M rode right into the operating room

And big brother was right by his side for support.

The surgery was quick! They drained a lot of fluid from the middle ear and placed the tubes 

These should last about a year.

 He was saying more words the same day :) 

We were so happy to have him feeling so much better and hearing clearer! 

Big brother wanted to be by his side when he woke up.

They got a little treat too. 

Love these little guys soo much! The day went smooth and we all went home afterwards for a nap! 
 

 
 

 

 

Great Wolf Lodge Niagara

We had an amazing weekend at Great Wolf Lodge!

This was our first time there. We heard great reviews from family and friends so we now know why! It's so much fun!

We booked for 2 nights, 1 paw pass ($64) and the meal package that was an extra $125 for our family. 

Hmm where to begin! 

Check in is at 4pm but you can get there earlier at 1pm to enjoy the water park. So we did that. Although without a room we needed to get a locker in the water park for all our clothes/shoes/purse. 

That was fine tho. We then spent 4 hours splashing around. (We ate lunch before getting there so our tummies were full) 

We went on water slides and spent a lot of time in the pool and wave pool, ohh and we loved the lazy river too!

 Since we had the food package we went to our room washed up quickly and went to the buffet dinner. Which had everything! Ribs, chicken, pasta, chilli, fries, pizza, the list goes on. Yummy  dessert too. 

Although the water park is open 9am-9pm , we spent the evening going through the paw pass items, spent time in the arcade and had fun with story time and dance party in the lobby!

Story time was really cute and interactive for the kids. 

The dance party too, baby M was busting his moves haha

The paw pass was really neat. Little K loved going around crossing off the items on the pass. 

Like making a stuffy. You can pick which stuffy you like and stuff it! We got a dragon of course. Little K stepped on the peddle to stuff it! Funnier when he stepped on the peddle when she was done and all the fluff went flying in her face. Oops

They fell in love with this dragon, 

Which we brought around with us everywhere after that! 

Oh the ears is one item too, which I wore the whole weekend.

 They also got a wand for the magi quest game. 

Which they loved. Walking around the lodge opening treasure or pointing at a painting that came to life. 2 floors of interactive fun with that wand. 

They also got another gift and they chose  light up sunglasses, with the paw pass they got a fudge bar, 20 credits for the arcade, 2 bowling games and some crafts in  the cub house and a 5x7 photo. 

My boys loved the arcade, of course! We spent hours each day in there. Haha

Ok fine, I love the arcades too ha! 

 We got the kid camp room with bunk beds. 

The kids had their own tv they watched from the bunks. 

The room was nice, clean and comfy. 

We brought some snacks and water from home so we could have snacks in the evening when we were back in our room. 

The next day we used our meal plan for the breakfast buffet. It was a little busy, more than the dinner buffet so the line was a bit long for impatient kids. The lunch was good, we got chicken fingers, hotdogs and burgers and brought it back to our room after the morning swim.

 The last dinner we had there we wanted to make the most of our evening and not spend much time in the buffet. So we ordered a pizza and brought it back to our room to eat before heading out to the evening events. They pretty much have all that you need there. Prices are pretty good I think. Not overpriced. They had a good cafe too for that much needed latte us parents need. 

We saw others go out and bring back Tim hortons coffee and donuts , it's just around the corner. As are other restaurants /fast food. But it was freeezing so we loved that we could just stay in the lodge and have everything we need. 

Sunday morning after breakfast we also spent some time winding down at the cubs corner. Kids colored and played.

 We called ourselves the Wolfpack all weekend and we had a blast.
