ah, another hectic weekend in Edmonton. Thankfully, it's the last one for a LONG time.
went up to cousin Susie's on Saturday. i took over some homemade perogies and cabbage rolls for our thanksgiving dinner that night. good food and mostly good company. i was surprised to see Mrs. Leskiw, a teacher from smoky lake, but it was very nice to see her and chat. after the feast, we opened gifts. of course you get asked to make a registry and no one actually buys anything off it. oh well. there was nothing that we REALLY wanted off the registry anyway. so clothes, clothes, a bath toy, a precious moments figuerine, bath support thingy, a hooded towel, more clothes, etc. definitely the best part was all the cash we got from the older folks. on sunday we took back most of the stuff we received and got other things instead. i know that may sound unappreciative, but one outfit was a duplicate, we already have 3 hooded towels, a bathtub, and bath products. i received a pack of diaper shirts which i would also like to return, but never got a gift receipt. i already have a ton of diaper shirts.
so a big thank you to everyone.
so we bought ourselves cradle bedding, which was something we really needed, an ocean aquarium thing for the crib, and a waterproof cradle mattress cover. my dad gave us money for two dozen Bumgenius 3.0s, which we went and bought yesterday (and saved $100 with our discount at bo bebe!) and a wipes warmer. oh and some receiving blankets, socks, and some sleepers.
i'm happy the shower is done and over with - now we can go nuts and buy everything we need! except looking out the window, it makes me not want to go anywhere.... what crazy weather we're having....
