Even though I haven't really been enjoying the bitterly cold weather, my children have been keeping themselves happy and occupied.
I'm not too sure what Andrew is doing in these pictures. He took two highlighters and put them together. I think he's using them as a hockey stick! I don't know if you can see, but the tv has a hockey game on and I'm pretty sure he's pretending to play hockey. This year he's in Learn to Play Hockey and he's having a blast! I'm so proud of my baby because he just learned to stand on skates this past summer and now he's actually gliding on the ice. Next practice, I'm hoping to get some pictures of the kids at their hockey practices and games.
My mother in law has been busy going through her Christmas decorations. She's decided to give away some of her Christmas decor because she doesn't plan to put much of it up anymore. One of the things she gave me was a Mr. and Mrs. Claus that moves around and has glowing candle. The kids love it and will sit and watch Mr. and Mrs. Claus for hours.
I wish I took better pictures of the Mr. and Mrs. I didn't really give them a good spot. The kids wanted to have them out and I needed time to decide where Mr. and Mrs. should be. I was pressured to put them somewhere so I put them by the tv! Not a really good place, but I shall find them a better home sometime this week! I promise!
Well, we all know that cold weather means warm things! One of our favourite warm thing to have during the cold winter months is having hot chocolate!
Again, excuse the picture! I wanted to take a good picture of the hot chocolate with marshmallows, but Daniel attacked the cup while I was getting my camera. He couldn't wait and wanted his hot chocolate right away. You would think that a ten year old would have more patience than his little brothers, but obviously not!
Despite the cold weather, we ventured into town today to go to Costco! Saturdays, bitter cold weather, and Christmas shopping at Costco is not my most favourite thing to do! I absolutely hate shopping at Costco on Saturdays especially in the cold with Christmas right around the corner. Costco on the weekends is nuts and crazy and people are just RUDE! My brother hates it and feels that Costco treats people like a herd of cattle! lol I have to agree, but you can't ignore the many wonderful items and sample areas that Costco provides. While we were at Costco, I found my most beloved treat! Costco only sells this item during the holidays and as soon as I saw it, I immediately grabbed it!
Behold the most glorious treat ever!
SINBAD'S Baklava...."Sin" and "Bad" together makes really good baklava! I'm in heaven....I these delightful syrupy pastries! Once I have a bite of these wonderful morsals, all my worries just floats away...to heaven...
I'm just going to post the many pictures I took of the baklava and show you why I love these things!
And here's the piece that I just had to eat...
I love Baklava! I just wish it wasn't so fattening! lol Oh well, this kind of stuff happens once a year and I'm planning to enjoy every bite!
Anyways, that's all I have for now. We're taking the kids to see the 3 D movie "Megamind" or "Mastermind". I can't remember what's it called. All I know it's another Dreamworks movie, so you know it will be a good one! See you later...
