And the fun continues.

The 4 of us crammed into the van and headed to the superstore in Georgetown.  Drew's friend from school, Nathan, had invited him to his birthday party.  This was a party at the cooking school located in the grocery store.  Drew had done a Loblaws cooking school class once before, with his nursery school, so I was pretty excited to take him.   While we were there, James took Hunter to McDonald's for a late breakfast and some play in the play-land.  It was pouring rain out.

The party was great.  Drew got a spot beside his buddy Christopher and the fun times just rolled from there.  The kids made pancake muffins (I am on a hunt for this recipe, as Drew loved them!) and then each got to decorate their own little cake (not so little, really....I think you could get 8 slices out of it).  It was a space theme, so the kids had space ships and martians to decorate with and were instructed to dig out craters from their cake.  They even got to mix their own colour of icing!  Drew sampled a lot of icing, so between the pancakes (laced with chocolate chips), the marshmallows they gave them as snack (wtf?!?!?)-to be fair, they did give them so melon and strawberries too and all the icing most of the boys were literally spinning in the middle of the room.

So proud of his creation!

Adding jelly beans and gummy bears

Pineview buddies...Christopher, Nathan and Drew (they all had to wear their PJ's to the party).

We bumped into Nana and Papa after the party, which I don't think was that much of a coincidence.  I had told them the previous day what time Drew's party was.  They just can't get enough of their grand-babies!  We had to take Hunter home for his nap, and James had to get to Mississauga for basketball, but we made plans with them to head back to their place for dinner after H's nap.

Dinner was alright.  My mom and I were both in pretty bad moods, both thinking the other was pissed at them.  This happens on occasion, and by the next day, we were ok.  Drew and Hunter got some time in with Uncle Jamie, as he was around for supper and then we took the boys home for an early bed time.  Drew fell asleep right away, Hunter on the other hand took forever to fall asleep.

Once they were both in bed, James and I opened some wine and watched the survivor finale.  I had DVR'd it, only at the end we realized that we had to watch the reunion show to find out who had won and I had failed to DVR that.  Thankfully, we have satellite,  so we taped the reunion show that was on at 1am.

Phew!!!
