Snow Flakes

Weekends ... you never really know what they're going to be about. This one was full of surprises ...

Like snow on Friday night ... lots of it ... so a snowlady was born on the front yard ... Mrs. Flake, actually. But today the rain, melted her into a small heap of slushy ice, her discarded mittens, scarf and hat frozen to the ground.

We awoke early this morning (Stefani, Kyla and I) ... Stefani had an audition in Burlington. I promised Nicole and Ali that I would solve their transportation problem and pick Ali up and bring him to Guelph today so that he could escort her to the "prom" / formal. But we had three hours to burn ...

So ... we walked through IKEA and made wish lists ... stopped for 50 cent hot dogs on the way out. Headed to PetSmart where we watched a few really smart dogs being trained.

Back into the car and we headed to Hamilton to pick Ali up ... but not before stopping at Cupcakes to pick up a red velvet cupcake for Nicole and an "N" candle to stick atop the most delicious icing I've ever tasted!

We got to Ali's house ... but he was in the shower ... so Stefani proceeded to create a tiny version of Mrs. Flake for his front stoop.

Off to Guelph. Once there we chatted and watched Nic and her roommates get all dolled up ... enjoying the break from being in the car. An hour or so later, we were back on the road home.

Time for some hamburgers ... a quick change into pj's ... and then snuggles on the couch to watch "Coraline" and "Where the Wild Things Are".
