Ahh, what a weekend! A mix of fun and not-so-fun! On Friday night, my husband and I were psyched to head out to see the latest hot, new Bollywood flick, "Om Shanti Om", when our car broke down! The movie was playing in Oakville but luckily our car collapsed before we got on the highway. Bye bye, fun, happy Friday night humming catchy tunes and watching an over-the-top glitzy blockbuster, and hello sitting in the rain in our old but beloved car – who can’t love an 11-year old Chevy Lumina that has been with me through thick and thin, and countless bumps and scratches.
CAA towed us home, and we sent our babysitter home. On Saturday night, I took my husband out for
dinner for his birthday the past week. I had tried to make a reservation and the trendy new Italian place on Avenue, L’Unita, but waited too long. We ended up at the Studio Cafe at the Four Seasons, which, requires no reservations and always has good food and service…even if we were the only people in the restaurant under 70! We tried to go to a movie at the Varsity but EVERYTHING was sold out (we really wanted to see the new Coen brothers film, No Country for Old Men, it got phenomenal reviews) – it’s that season of good flicks – and once again we were home in bed by 10pm! I think that is our destiny.
Saturday, during the day, I hung out for a bit with the Urbanmoms booth at the Baby and Toddler Show. We shared our booth with Yummy Mummy and Wee Welcome, and if I must say so myself, it was the most happening booth of the show! The VIP parties were a TOTAL hit, and there was loads of funky girl-power in the air. Here are some pics of us from show – take particular note of my gargantuan belly stuffed into a medium size t-shirt – it wasn’t pretty, and I’m still sharing it with you!
Here’s Ali and Tova, looking blond and stunning at the booth! Tova was a trade show superstar and was fabulous at drawing people to our booth!
Her’s Ali and me!
And, finally, here’s Jen, Ali and myself. Note Jen as our bartender supreme, serving the juice!
Sunday was my daughter’s 3d birthday party, which we held at Jungle Cubs on Bayview. It’s my favourite play centre of that kind, spacious, clean, great staff and awesome toys! The kids had a blast especially my daughter. This was the first time she was really cognisant of her birthday, and she was in her element, being the belle of the ball surrounded by her pals and cousins!
Aww, the preggo belly is too cute 😉 Too bad about your two-time proof of Murphy’s Law…I sooooo hate it when I have plans with DH that involve a babysitter and they don’t come through. It feels like such a rip-off!
you looked amazing. 🙂 you have the cutest preggo belly ever!
Sounds awesome. And you look great stuffed into your t-shirt – what better advertisment for urbanmoms?! Happy birthday to your daughter. It’s so great to see them enjoying their own parties!
