Snakes, Lizards and Turtles Oh My!!

Friday was a rainy, cold, crappy day outside.  When it rains, I get a giant headache.  I also had my monthly friend (which has lasted for 2 weeks, but that's a whole other story).  I was a real peach on Friday.  Thankfully, Drew was at school, James was at work so it was just Hunter who had to deal with me.  He's returning the favour today.

Once Drew got on the bus, H and I got ready and headed over to "Cirque du Play" in Milton.  I had never been there before, and was pleasantly surprised by what we found.  It's an indoor gym for kids, with a bouncy castle, sports equipment, a small ball pit and various other fun things for kids to do.  We were there for a breakfast event put on by Momstown, sponsored by Kellogg's.  Hunter had a great time and getting out of the house made me feel a lot better.

Kellogg's provided us with lots of different cereals to try.  Hunter sampled the Mini-wheats.  He'd never had them before and really seemed to enjoy them!

 The afternoon was spent at home.  Hunter napped, I cleaned and napped a little myself and then we met Drew at the bus.  The first thing Drew says to me when he gets off the bus is, "Mommy, did you know that Terry Fox died because he ran too far?"  Hmmmm....kinda missed the point of that one.  It was Terry Fox day at school.  They had to run around the school, each donate a "toonie for Terry" and they obviously talked about his fundraising effort.  Once we got inside, I spent some time explaining who Terry Fox was and what he did and why.  Poor little guy, it's hard to keep everything straight.

After a quick snack (home-made cookies and milk - YUM!) we piled into the van and headed to Nana and Papa's.

Papa bought us pizza (which was free, as he had filled up a Topper's card-you should have seen how excited my dad was when I showed him that his card was full....so cute!).  It was delicious!  Mostly, the boys played with the annoying Christmas train that Drew made my mom set up.  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Christmas, but this train is like nails on a chalk-board!

This morning, we all woke up and got ready to head into town.  We were heading to another momstown event.  This time, it was a reptile party being held at Wee-Ones childcare centre.  The boys got to see snakes, lizards, spiders and various other disgusting creatures (Drew was in heaven, Hunter was a bit of a mess.....but I think he may be coming down with something).  The pictures tell it all, check out the smile on Drew's face...so cute!

We headed to Subway for lunch, where the owner greeted us at the door and asked if we wanted our "regular" lunch and then asked where James was.  Mental note, "you eat at Subway too much!"

Hunter fell asleep on the way home, so that leaves Drew and I to entertain ourselves.  We did some work in his "work-book", he's played with his playmobil toys and now he's watching some TV (if you ever see playmobil on sale anywhere, let me know!!!).  We're heading up to Nana and Papa's again this afternoon....it's nice and sunny, hopefully the boys will be able to get out and ride their toys.

Happy Saturday!
