Relaxing and Fun Week at Home!

A few people had said to me that I would be looking forward to going back to work and sending Logan to daycare after the holidays....this is certainly not the case. Having the last week or so to be at home with him has reminded me how awesome it is to be able to be at home with him. It's been nice to lounge around in pjs for part of the day and not have to rush him out the door...me being a stay-at-home mom is a goal that we continue to work towards and hopefully will make it into our reality!

Anyways, it has been a fun week. Scott returned to work for Monday, Tuesday and a half day on Wednesday. Logan and I spent those days hanging out at home playing with all his new toys, what fun!

On Tuesday once Scott got home from work the three of us headed over to Cindy and Behrouz's place for dinner and to take a look at the lights at Waterloo Park. We'd been trying to get there together for a number of weeks now so it was nice to be able to follow through with those plans. Cindy had a couple small gifts for Logan which he loved.

He knew what to do with it right away, he lifted it up to his ear and said "HI?", he loves phones.

We had a nice dinner (which I'm sure Cindy's dog Bailey enjoyed as well, courtesy of Logan!) and then headed out to see the lights at the park.

As I've mentioned before, Logan seems to have a great love for books. Lots of time was spent this week reading books, one of his new favs is one sent to him by his Aunt Pamela for Christmas...there are A LOT of words in this books so we mostly just talk about what is in the pictures.

He loves his book Aunt Pamela!

Logan's great-grandma Tuumanen gave him a really cool rocker/push toy/trike for Christmas that we put together this week. Logan likes it and had a great time helping daddy put it together.

It goes like this dad!

The finished product.

Today there was enough snow on the ground for Scott to take Logan out on a sled ride. He seemed to have a good time, Scott said that he especially liked to go fast. He took him to a small hill and let him go down a few times.

"Go faster dad!"

This one's hard to see but if you click on it to make it bigger, you can see his smile.

Tonight we went to the pool at the Rec Centre for a swim. Tonight they had what they call "Kidsplash" and they have open the swirlpool (a nice and warm pool) and the tot pool (a shallow pool) for kids to play in. We tried Logan in the tot pool but it was too cold so we moved to the swirlpool and he had a great time, we may make swimming one of our regular activities for one evening a week especially since it's too dark and cold after supper to get outside. Logan and Scott will be starting swimming lessons this month so it was nice to get him in the pool again and make sure he still likes it.

Bubble bath!

High five!

And one of our Christmas tree since I haven't gotten one up yet...

Tomorrow we'll head to church in the morning and then spend the day at home getting ready to get back to reality on Monday with work and daycare (well grandma on Monday, daycare on Tuesday).
