Nice weekend

It's been another nice weekend, though Suzanne worked most of the day on Saturday and it rained all day Sunday.

Saturday was low key, we were outside a bit, finalize a hotel on St-Augustine beach with balcony on the water (I just can't wait to sip wine on the balcony with Suzanne while the kids are sleeping in the room). At night, Sue and I had a good meat/spinach/swiss cheese roule and the kids had tacos. We spent the evening on relaxing and reserving the dinners at Disney.

Sunday was low key again, with the rain and all. Sue and I worked on Sab's bike, and did some laundry and cleaning. Sabrina and Mathieu spent some time looking at Disney videos on the Net. Supper was steak for us and the rest of the tacos for the kids. I did some Nuance work at night and watch some BG while Sue read downstairs.

The wine of the weekend was the Chateau Berliquet St-Emilion Grand Cru 2004 -- Excellent, but a bit pricey ($45). The 2005 is $61. Suzanne's description: "It's good, it taste expensive".

Walt Disney

While sipping a glass of Chateau Berliquet St-Emilion Grand Cru Classe 2004, we booked a vacation for July to Walt Disney resort. Planes and hotel are reserved, now we just have to prepare a few days at St-Augustine. We're quite excited.

Here is what we're expecting to see from our hotel room balcony. Please don't tell the kids, it's a secret!

Oh and the wine is excellent.

Wednesday

A normal day. Sabrina goes to school, Mathieu stays with me, the cleaners come to take care of the house and I go through two meetings. Normal supper, normal everything. The homework is good, Sabrina does D-F, Mathieu recites his letters. Everyone has what they like for dinner.

I'm instituting leader day at our home. Sabrina, born on an odd date, will be leader on odd days. Mathieu will be leader on even days. So next time I hear: "me first" I'll know who to take care of first.

Quiet Friday, beautiful Saturday

Mathieu is not feeling well, he has a deep cough, so I've decided to stay home on Friday. Today is beautiful, Mathieu is also feeling better, so once I'm done cleaning I think it's going to be time for some sun. We went to eat at the Egg this morning, while Suzanne went to her office in St-Lambert. Talked to mom, she just bought herself a new Ford Fiesta (available June).

Montreal Dow Planetarium

The kids and I went to the Planetarium today. We were able to get in for free using our Boston Museum of Science Member Card, like we did at the Cosmodome. The first 10 minutes of the show were precious, seeing the looks of awe on both Sabrina and Mathieu's faces. A real great thing. Otherwise this was a great day, beautiful, the kids played well together. Tonight a treat, Sue is putting them to bed.

Spring break

We're enjoying the beautiful weather, but ski season looks like it's winding down. On Tuesday we went to the Cosmodome in Laval. Real fun.
