Vacation time!

We are heading to a family vacation soon! By family I mean grandma and aunts and uncles and cousins too.  We are going for a wedding in Cuba!

 

It’ll be little K’s third plane trip in 3 years.

His first trip was to Mexico at 9 months!

 

Second trip to Jamaica at 18 months!

 

and now Cuba at 3 years old!

 

I have lots of organizing and packing to do! As I was making my list I realized how each trip was very different, based on his age.

 

Mostly good but with some challenges.

 

At 9 months he wasn’t walking yet so it was easier to plop him in one place to play or hold him or contain him in the stroller ha! Food wise was easy as well, he ate little bits from the restaurants and  he was still breastfeeding which helped a lot on the plane as well.  

 

At 18 months it wasn’t as easy as 9months but little K was soo good and loved the trip. He was walking uh hum running! so that was fun chasing him around most the time. Food wise he was great with the food at restaurants, so no issues. I just brought his usual snacks like goldfish and puffs to have when travelling.

 

Now at 3 years old. hmm. Big boy. Mind of his own! independent little boss of his world 3 year old. Packing for a 3 year old is pretty much the same as packing for myself, the only extras are his pull-ups and some snacks for the travelling.  I think little k will love it even more than the other times because he is older and understands the fun that comes with a vacation! We are all soo excited!

 I'll have tips for traveling with a 3 year old when we get back! 

Can’t wait to show you all the pics of our family vacation!

Remembrance Day Canada

Today was Remembrance Day. The husband and I had the day off.

So we decided to make it a day in the city...

It started with dropping little k off at daycare. 

Then we went to a restaurant for breakfast. Right by the lake. 

Sooo good! 

After that big breakfast we sat by the lake and enjoyed the view. 

Ahh and it was a beautiful fall day!!

Next stop Indigo book store for a latte and some books the Mr needed to get. 

We then headed to Queens park where thousands of people gathered for a ceremony to honour our veterans. 

Lest We Forget. 

After a beautiful ceremony we stayed downtown and went to the mall... Then a late lunch. 

Eeee lots of food. 

A good day in the city. 

Just a little weekend fun!

This weekend really began on Thursday night. Catching up with my sister and cousin over lattes :) 

We always have deep conversations about our past, present and future, and it always ends in giving out our support and love for one another. 

Friday was a work day for me, but little K and my husband had the day off. 

They went to the museum together. How cute are these pictures of their day!? 

Little k wouldn't stop talking about his fun day with dad! 

They started the day with a big breakfast...

So cute! 

Friday night I met up with friends I haven't seen in 12 years! Childhood friends I grew up with. We were best friends before that for 21 years! 

It was soo nice to see them and catch up. Listening to everyone's story, all that's happened and missed in 12 years. Marriages, babies, careers, health. We could have stayed out all night catching up ha! 

Saturday I went to visit my grandparents and spent the day with these cuties! 

And Saturday night was date night :) 

Dinner and live music. 

We had a Fun weekend!! 

But so sad it went by soo fast! 

Wedding fun!

This past weekend my brother in law got married! 

Little K in his suit! 

Seriously the cutest little boy in a suit! 

He matched his uncles perfectly! 

The day started at my BIL's house as he got ready for his big day.

We then went to a nearby park to take some pictures, but it was quick. Burr it was cold! 

My dress! 

Our little family. 

After the pictures we made our way to the ceremony. 

The ceremony was lovely. The bride was beautiful! 

We had a great time spending time with family and friends celebrating the bride and groom. 

We wish the newly weds all the best! 

Halloween fun!

Halloween was rainy and cold so that was super scary ha! 

This is just a quick post to capture little k's Halloween! 

This year he was an astronaut! 

We went went out with my nieces and little k loved going door to door saying trick or treat! 

This year he loved pointing out the scary things and saying "look mom! That's scary, I'm scared" haha adorable. 

His favorite candy so far, smarties and lollipops! 

I don't know about you, but I can't believe Halloween has past and Christmas is not that far away! 

The other day my husband and I went for a nice fall walk by the lake and a yummy meal. 

Love all the colors of fall!

Love this picture of the Mr by the lake and Downtown in the background. 

Yup that's a cop on a horse. Just taking a stroll by the lake. 

We need to take advantage of this not so bad weather this fall. It's not freezing cold yet. So hopefully we will have more time for these beautiful walks.
