We had another great weekend!
Friday night was a big night for Anika... she FINALLY got her new bike! I had been out at lunch on Friday to see if I could find one, and did at Toys-R-Us... for $130.00... yes a little excessive for a 5 year old's bike, but we had looked EVERYWHERE for one that would fit her and they were either too big or too small. When I picked her up from daycare, I told her we would go by Sportchek to see if they had anythere.... sure enough they did. We were steering clear of "girl" colored bikes because what if this little munchkin in my belly is a boy... really can't explain to him that its too bad your a boy.. you're going to ride a pink bike, with a barbie basket and purple and pink pop-pom thingies on the handle bars. Just not cool. So there was the bike.. it was silver. I loved it and it was only $99.00. Nope... that one wouldn't do... Anika didn't like it. She wanted the blue one with the checkered flag decals on it... because what if the baby is a boy.. he will like them (yes.. she is coming around about the baby). Well.. I have to say my child is smart. The one she picked was cheaper than the silver one... only $79.00... now we can pimp it up with girlie things ;) I have never in my life see a child so proud, than when we got home and she saw her friends outside and she could show it off to them!! Her "husband" Garrett had to give it a try and really liked it.... told her that it was cool and he couldn't wait for them to go biking together! (I will have to post a picture of the 2 love birds).
Saturday was dance, and we still think she will excel at sports... rather than dance. She just doesn't have the coordination that the other kids have.... its quite amusing to watch! When she got home it was off with her friends for another afternoon packed with drawing on the driveways with sidewalk chalk, arguing about Garrett not inviting her to his birthday party, and how she wasn't going to invite him either... because boys aren't allowed to her party, playing at the play ground, and sharing snacks on the front step with the other kids.
Dave, Lisa and Zora came for dinner... the kids were great and both stayed up well past their bed times!! Thankfully Anika slept until 9:30 Sunday morning... Dave and Lisa didn't have it so lucky with Zora!!
Sunday we headed out to Steinbach for a visit with Auntie Kim and Uncle Ray. Anika was so excited to see them. We wanted to see their house before it got sold and they moved into their new one... so we invited ourselves out there. Anika had a blast playing with the kitties (really should have taken a picture of her and the cats - but forgot)... and then we went out for lunch. Anika loves to go out for lunch so this was right up her alley. We had a great time, laughing and eating... then we went for ice cream. Ohhhhhhh does Anika love ice cream!!!
Anika (not quite ready for a picture) with
her Auntie Kim and Uncle Ray....
Ok Mom... I'm ready now!!!
Anika insisted that we get the waitress
to take a family picture of all of us
.... so here it is...
Sunday night we went to the Moose Game, came home after Anika entertained everyone in the suite... and proceed to get a fever during the night. She complained that her throat was sore and that her ear was a little sore so we druged her with some tylenol, and kept her home from daycare today. She spent most of the day on the sofa watching her show's and dosing on and off.... she seems better tonight so she will be going to daycare tomorrow.
Hope you all have a great week!
Ciao.
