Saturday Snap – Staycation

Maybe not quite as nice as the all-inclusive Mexican resort I posted yesterday. But our “staycation” at the recently re-branded Atlas Hotel & Waterpark in Regina with both sets of grandparents was quite a fun way to spend Saturday night!

Saturday Snap – Panda, Panda, Panda!

After our trip to the Calgary Zoo this summer, we had a bit of a panda-theme for some of the kids’ gifts including both a stuffed panda and a panda hat for Sasha. Pretty cute until Pace pointed out that this is actually looks like a living panda has put the skull of another dead […]

Saturday Snap – Daddy-Daughter Night

Shea had a very long day and Pace is both pretty introverted and a stereotypical teenager so it’s hard to get him out of the house at the best of times. That meant Sasha and I had a daddy-daughter date to The Artesian’s “Holiday Sing-a-long” Thursday night which was great fun.

Good-bye House!

Possession day for our old house is Friday so Shea and I spent a few hours tonight making sure we had completely cleared it out of all our stuff, did a final bit of cleaning, and having a few tears as we locked the door for the final time. I’m usually pretty sentimental about stuff […]
