The kids and I spent the afternoon downtown shopping, playing and visiting with Tita Becca.

Taking advantage of the nice weather before it gets too cold. We decided to go with Alexis and Anders to the Nature Playground at Assiniboine Park.

1. These slides are by far Milan's favourite activity at this park. 
2. A mini slide for wee ones.
3. Playing and drawing in the sand with sticks.
4. The kids chasing a squirrel into the woods. Julien was especially determined to catch it.
5. Getting soaking wet in the water. I can't get over how much my kids love playing in water.

Our walk with the kids yesterday.

New haircut.

Sarah and I took a walk with all the kids to a little salon in the area to get Julien's hair cut. The owner was amazing with him. She was so patient and loving with such a difficult and squirmy boy. And I am so grateful to her for not giving him a "bowl cut". I think we've found our regular hair dresser for the kids! And James has his own place that he likes to go to in The Exchange. I am so looking forward to never having to cut hair ever again! Now I just have to find the right place for myself.

火鍋 (Hot Pot) Sunday dinner.

An unplanned weekday family Date Night.

Dads are definitely good for a different kind of play than moms are. Here the kids are using James as a human play structure as they run around, climb, and tumble down him. This is something I don't think I would've been ok with pregnant or not. But I do admire the kids' creativity for coming up with this little game on their own. And I love James for sitting there and letting them have their fun (like any good dad would) as they did this over and over again.
