Parental Leave - Take 2!!

Well... I've been on official parental leave now for 2 days and a bit! And boy has it been busy!!

Here's a quick recap:

1. Last friday we packed up the ol'front wheel drive sleigh and headed to Mom and Dad Fessenden's just narrowly beating a snow storm.
2. Saturday we headed to Brampton to the Mandarin for the Fessenden Christmas Party. It was quick but the kids were good. Kathryn slept most of the time and Patrick WANTED to sleep. He was so cute trying to curl into my arms while I was scarfing a pizza topped with ribs and chicken balls.... hehehe. Unfortunatley, we also spent 6 hours in emerg with Kathryn because we were worried she was getting RSV but it turned out to be just a head cold. Thank Goodness!
3. Sunday we had the meet'n'greet for Kathryn. I figure there was just over 20 people showed up... probably more though. Everyone got a chance to hold Kathryn since she slept the whole time. No screaming. Patrick had a blast playing with the other kids. We then headed over to my sibling-in-laws for a birthday party for both Deb and I. It was quick since both the kids were tired and we were both exhausted but it was still great. My sister-in-law can cook a mean lasagna!
4. Monday we stopped at Futureshop so I could pick up season 6 of married with children, then headed home. The van was just a tad on the full side with all the gifts we recieved! Once again, we just narrowly missed a snowstorm but when we got home, there was 2 feet of snow in our drive. In the process of blowing it out, i turned a pack of flyers into confetti! I was not amused.
5. Tuesday was a busy day. I brought Patrick to Play school for the morning then headed out to get more gas, get a new humidifier for Kathryn's room (which ended up in our room and giving her ours), cleaning out the drive again, doing some shopping, etc. Then picking up Patrick. There was probably more but I have to wrap this up. The natives are getting restless.

Talk at ya later!
