Thanksgiving long weekend!!

What a fun weekend! This time last year we moved out of our old house to stay at my moms place while our new house was being built! Fall in the city was so great last year. 

This fall has been beautiful so far! Many sunny colorful days! The house is always smelling like apple cinnamon goodness!

This weekend we went to make our own wine! Well not like making our own wine in our garage or anything. We have neighbors that are great at doing that, but we are doing it with a company that will do all the dirty work for us! Ha! 

We are making our own Pinot Noir.

Saturday we went to drop the yeast in our bucket of wine.

The whole process will take 4 weeks. 

Once done we will go back and bottle and label our own wine! 

That evening we ordered a lobster dinner from our favorite seafood restaurant! They delivered which was great! And they were fast too!

Lobster Bisque and garlic bread! 

We had a 2lbs and 2.5lbs lobsters! Seriously sooo good!!! 

Perfect for a Saturday night in! 

Sunday we had Thanksgiving lunch with the family. 

Baby M's first thanksgiving! 

He was the cutest Turkey hsha

Cousin Love! These kids are so much fun! 

It's not only Thanksgiving weekend. It's also blue jays weekend! Baseball!!

Our team won 2 games this weekend! Yay! 

Happy Thanksgiving!!! 

Fall. Fun. Family.

I finally completed a little fall decorating. 

I kept it simple. Just to add some fall color! 

Fall is the best. And with the cooler weather we have more time indoors in the evenings. Perfect for little k to familiarize himself with the piano! 

We had a fun weekend.

Saturday we had my cousins engagment party. 

Getting the 4 of us ready that night was a little hectic ha! Especially when we are trying to leave the house clean and in one piece haha. But we did it! 

The kids had a blast playing and dancing that evening.

Little k didn't want to leave. But with fussy little brother we had to leave a bit earlier than we normally would have.

Sunday morning we were up early so we decided to go for breakfast by the Lake. 

Beautiful fall weather so we had a morning stroll by the water.

Then As per little k's request we went to the amuesment park.

And they had a little treasure hunt and gave away treats! 

Haha a little gift from little k. 

Baby M got another gift this weekend too! A highchair! Yay! This chair reclines and turns into a swing too! 

Oh! And my Mr bought me a little gift today as well! Some teavana tea with a steeper. So cool! Peach strawberry jasmine green tea. Sooo good! 

Happy Monday!!! 

Some new things.

Little K got an early birthday gift! A piano! 

Every night before bed he plays with daddy. 

This week has been a little hectic here. 

Baby M has had some fussy nights. Very Colic :( let's hope this passes soon!

He's 7 weeks this weekend! 

Our days are pretty busy with 2 little ones. Little K loves school and makes lunch requests ha! I love hearing all about his day. Next week his daily food at school gets more interesting. With 2 hot lunches a week (pasta and pizza) chocolate milk given to him daily. And every Friday a frozen yogurt treat given at lunch. How cute! 

Speaking of treats, I made a new recipe I saw on The Chew. So easy and fast! 

Cut pie crust into squares. 

Brush with butter

Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon

Cut up apples to fill them

Sprinkle a little more sugar and cinnamon on top and fold over. Bake 10min at 400.

Yummy!!!!

Fall is here and I love fall! Getting back into sweater dresses, scarves and boots! 

I'm hoping to do a little fall decor for my porch this weekend! 

So happy the weekend is here! TGIF!! 

Apple picking fun!

A new family tradition my husband and I made for ourselves in our first years of marriage was Apple picking every fall. 

We were all so excited that this year included our new little addition to our family. 

Little k was ready for some apple picking! And eating! Haha 

We picked 2 bags full! Yummy! Honeycrisp was a new one we picked this year. 

Then we headed inside the shop and bought a lot of Apple baked goods! 

This place has the best apple pies! 

I love that my husband and I made new traditions for our little family. 

After Apple picking little k got to play in the playground for a bit. 

 

Oh and eat honey sticks haha

Little K loves honey! 

Now some apple recipes to try! I saw one on The Chew last week. Can't wait to try it out. It's like little Apple pie bites! Yum! 

Big Bro Little bro

As a little brother you get the advantage of learning so much from big brother. Big brother  is learning how to live life with a little sidekick too! 

Big bro bugs you a lot right now and thinks you are hilarious with the ️adorable baby sounds you make. 

He's also very protective and makes sure you are involved in everything we do as a family. He's always asking where you are and that we can't forget you. Ha! 

 

You are almost 6 weeks old and we are always comparing you to big bro. We do that because we are amazed to see 2 kids WE made, growing in front of us! Little miracles, little people! 

Will you grow to be just like your brother or very different? Either way you will be your own person. 

Both of you individuals with your own likes and dislikes, your own personalities making up our little family. We will always make sure you both respect eachothers differences because as your big bro already says, 'you are a people, and I am a people' haha we are all people! Different but in the end all the same, we are human! 

It's such a blessing being your parents and we will love you both just the same forever! 

And when you are older and can't stand eachother (haha) I'll be sure to show you these adorable pictures! 

Big bro little bro Love! 

Just a little this and that

What's going on this week? back to school colds, that's what! Little K came home with a cold and passed it on to babyM and mommy!

The other night was tough! I sent the Mr out at midnight to get some things to help with baby M's cold! 

The hydra sense is helping sooo much!! 

To be safe since M is only 1 month I took them both to the doctor yesterday. 

Oh yes , just me and 2 sick kiddies. 

Little K was great at first, pushing the stroller, pressing the elevator buttons, being a big boy getting weighed and temperature checked.... Then it was baby M's turn. Little K wasn't thrilled at the shift in attention. Sooo Mr 3 year old came out full force, making noise, climbing the walls, Pretending to run out of the office. Whaaa!!! I couldn't wait to get out of there. He was testing my patience that's forsure! Momlife!!! Insert tears here haha 

No doctor pics, you can imagine why, my hands were pretty full! Ha!

This past weekend we went to the amusement park, it will be closing for the season soon, so we need to make the most of our dino walks! 

Or strolls.

Fun walk and great exercise for us. Ha!

Especially after our Sunday lunch! 

Can you believe that this past weekend was my first time making lasagna! My mom makes the best lasagna! And even tho it was my first time, I followed her directions and added a little flare of my own and it was sooo delish! Yum!! 

Since I've been on maternity leave I've been cooking a lot more! But with 2 kids, it isn't easy! 

I'm trying out a lot of new slowcooker recipes as well. 2 kids need so much of my attention it's hard to take extra time in the kitchen! But I don't mind! As long as we have easy delicious meals planned we are all happy!! 

My baby boy will be 6 weeks this week. He's beginning to pay more attention, looking closely at us and beginning to coo! So adorable! 

I think little K can't wait for baby to notice him! 

Oh! And yesterday we went to try out for piano!! Little k is showing a lot of interest. 

He loved it but he's still a bit young to begin the lessons. So enrollment wot be until next summer. In the meantime, we will begin practice at home!
