Family Day Plans

[Bluedaisy]

Does anyone have anything fun planned for this weekend?

We're just staying around the house and trying to get caught up on projects.  It will also be LO's first Valentine's day so we're going to take some cheesy Valentine's pics.

It's going to be so cold where I am this weekend -17 so we are not planning to be outdoors or going away for the weekend . There is a Home Show happening at the Toronto Convention Centre so we will probably spend the day there on Monday.

I love Family Day. February is so cold and depressing, it's nice to have a long weekend during a gloomy month.

Oh right I forgot that not all provinces do it and it was actually last week in BC, although I think it's called something else there.

Yesterday we went to a motor sports show and tomorrow I think we are packing up to visit my siblings in the other city! It's Family Day here tomorrow but H is also on winter break so we have most of the week free to do things!
Also, it's amazeballs weather. It's already 0 here today and the lowest high (follow me? Lol) in the 2 week forecast currently shows as -4! In February! We're going to get a good head start on the snow melt I think!

Yes, last weekend was family day for us in BC. It's kinda silly though that when our premier introduced it, she set it for the second week. The majority of people think it should have been set to match the other provinces.

It was a normal day for me since I'm on mat leave and DH has a federal job, and federal employees don't get a holiday that day.

tiffbot, I sometimes swear we have twin lives. DH is also on winter break but he has soooo many projects on the go he won't have a lot of free time. It was also gorgeous here today.

For Family Day we made pancakes and bacon for breakfast and ended up going to trivia night with friends.
I also took a bath for the first time in years. It was very relaxing but milk bath made my hair super greasy...I looked less than attractive at trivia.

@ordinaryamy, if you are a bath fan you NEED to try Lush bath bombs.

They are amazing.

Bluedaisy - I'm uncertain how I stand on baths, I feel like it's not as clean as as a shower. However, I suspect I just didn't like that particular milk bath. BUT I did buy Lush Bath Bombs as thank you gifts for my MOH and my Mom. Good to know they are just as awesome in actual use as they looked in the store.

@ordinaryamy, I am totally addicted, but there are some Ido feel the need to rinse off after. I have a big soaker tub with a pull out shower head so that helps.
