Lazy (relatively) weekends

Well perhaps not too lazy... but compared to running to ballet practice and then driving to camping and other activities it has felt pretty laid back.  Both this and last weekend we've spent most of our days hanging out in the backyard, watching movies or playing mariokart and reading books.
Evie received her hugglepod that she ordered with her birthday money last weekend and spent what must have been 4 hours in it reading... until Izzy wanted a turn and she was relegated to just reading outside.
Patrick and I have spent some time sorting through books still in boxes since we moved almost three years ago and as a result had a few boxes laying around.  Folllwing the idea that no good box should go to waste the girls claimed them to make "houses". All this week they have been asking to sleep in their boxes and we've been telling them to wait until the weekend. Keeping our promise, Friday night both girls "cuddled" up in their boxes and actually slept in them all night. (Of course the sleeping in boxes could very well explain the total, utter meltdown Izzy had today, but hey we are ones to keep our promises).
The highlight of the weekend was Evie's spring choir concert. She had a dress rehearsal just before the performance so we took Izzy over to the planetarium/mineral museum at the UofA while Evie rehearsed and then we all went downtown to the Temple of Music and Art for another spectacular choir experience.
