All She Wants for Christmas

Tuesday Tunes 50: While you were sleeping

I heard this song on the radio yesterday. It has such a powerful message, I cannot help but play it for you!! Will be back soon with pictures and stories of our trip!!

Goin' to see a Man about a Squid

Well, it has been such a crazy week around here. I mean, we have been walloped with snow, it seems like constantly. Everyone has been late to get anywhere and it has been so cold. Trying to coordinate Aidan getting to school and Jonathan getting to work has been a challenge. Add to that the whole Christmas presents needing to be sent to Ontario...Needless to say, I am glad it is Friday and we are leaving town for the weekend.

One of the many blessings of having a sister working for WestJet is the deals that she is able to get. We are taking advantage of one of these today. My parents and sister, the kids and hubby and I are all going to Vancouver for the weekend. We fly out today at 6:15 and come back on Sunday around the same time. It is a 'flying' trip, but I think the kids will really have a good time. Emma has never been on a plane and I don't think Aidan remembers.

Tomorrow we are going to spend the day at the Vancouver Aquarium. Since the kids have not seen much sea life, I think this will be great. I haven't been to the Aquarium in years. It should be good.

Anyway, I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend. I will come back with pictures and stories for your reading pleasure next week!!

In honor of the sea life, here's one of my favorite clips!!

What's on the Christmas list?

Emma wants a Hippopotamus for Christmas. (perhaps too much of that song!! Tried posting a bit of a video of her singing it, but I think the file is too big.)

Aidan wants Mommy to have another baby! (Impossible, but I laughed so hard!!)

On a side note: Aidan had a really hard time telling me what he wanted. He kept telling me things he wanted other people to have!! He has such a good heart!!
