An Action Packed Saturday

First up, pancake breakfast at Kate's school.  It was a meet Santa Claus, buy Christmas presents with pancakes served by the local hockey team.  It was actually really great.  I was worried it would be too crowded and crazy, but it really was great.

After that we hung out at the house for a few hours waiting for Marisol's party.  The girls had to choose between being in the Tottenham Santa Claus parade and a party at Bizzy Bees. (Kate could have been on the float with the choir, and Alice could have been on the bus with her Pre-School.)  They went back and forth a few times, but in the end, Bizzy Bees and Marisol won out!  Ken stayed home to get some work done, and I took the girls.

Then it was back home, drop off the girls and off I went to Woodbridge.  A teacher friend was having a jewellery party in her home.  I wanted to go, I was thinking that I wanted to get Kate and Alice lockets for Christmas.  I had fun with my teacher friends, and I had a wrestle about money and age appropriate gifts on the way home - after buying lockets, that I then decided not too.  It is always weird to spend time with work friends when I'm off.  I enjoy seeing them, but it makes me feel slightly crazy.  I want to pretend I'm never going back to work. 

Today was a fun day.
