Happy Birthday to Me!

June 23rd, 2007 by Cara

It’s not only my birthday today but my mothers as well. It’s really cool to share a birthday with my mom. I’m not so sure she thinks the same though! We decided today would be a down day. Andrew let me sleep in and really tried to make the day special. Told me we could go shopping and buy something nice just for me. So you know what I ended up buying? A new car seat! We decided to go into Barrie for a few hours, and went down to Lakeshore for the kids to play.


We then decided to try and find a grocery store we circled around and happened to find a huge Zehrs which also happened to be beside the Bonnie Toggs I was hoping to find to buy another Britax Marathon. I had called them on Thursday so I new they had another Cowmooflage in stock. I absolutely love these seats, so do the boys. I was always a big fight as to who was going to sit in it. Now they each have one, and are so happy! Once I got it installed, I noticed that the new one has black harness straps the older one had tan straps, as well the new one looks to have higher harness slots, I may be wrong, but it certainly looks that way.

We then went to Zehr’s and stocked up on groceries for the week. This is a great thing about getting a condo. Not only the extra space you have, but being able to cook meals as you have a fully equipped kitchen.

Once we got back to the condo I had a splitting headache, Andrew let me take a little nap then when I got back up we had a great dinner of Jasmin Rice, and Thai Coconut Curry Chicken with PC Indian Naan! Very tasty!

We finished off the evening down at the pool, this is when I realized that I had forgotten to pack Andrew’s swimsuit…another ooops! I played in the pool with the kids while Andrew entertained Finn. Once we got back to the condo, the boys wanted to take a bath so we all jumped in the huge Jacuzzi! Everyone slept so well!
