A Full Day

We had to have Sophie back in Yorkton for 11 am, so we all went in and after dropping off KK's friend, we took the kids to WalMart to get them a gift in honour of all the hard work they put in this past year on their piano. The marks aren't in yet, but I feel optimistic. Anyway, Kaitlynn picked out a classy little table lamp for her bedside and a lava lamp to hypnotize herself with which is on her dresser. Jared got a huge, (ugly) comfy beanbag chair. I told him that he has to take it with him when he moves out. Sadly, our wee Pooh Bear chair has to find a new home. It has been with us, I think for as long as we've had children.

Here is a photo of the new pendant lights that we picked up on Wednesday and Todd installed on Thursday. The more times I see them, the more I like them, much better suited to our style.

Sooty has fallen in love with the heat lamp. He loves to go back out into the garage after his breakfast and sun himself for awhile.

I visited The Plum Tree for the first time since their reopening a few days ago. I spotted a lovely butter dish, and decided that my old scratched up glass one could move on.

Sometime ago, Jared decided to look the hobbit slippers that Todd got me for Christmas a few years back. He's been wearing them everyday since. They are huge and clumsy, and I can't believe he hasn't injured himself yet.

I'm not sure what inspired Kaitlynn to go for a walk with me, but it might have been that I had asked her to unload the dishwasher while I was gone.

For Christmas, the kids received gift cards for the Bulk Barn, and we let them spend some of it today. I was a little embarrassed by how much candy they bought.
