* Remember how I told you I had cabin fever? And that I needed to get out? WELL WE DID! Last Thursday night we went to an outdoor festival with food, shopping, and entertainment. Nory loved it and stole the spotlight by dancing up a storm with her Daddy. It became one of those interesting moments where random people stood by and whipped out their mobiles to take pictures of our child. And because Nory was so darn cute, I really couldn't blame them for becoming the paparazzi.
* Friday was a BIG DEAL for the Parkinson family because it was the first day that we went out JUST US FOUR and also the first day that Jet went to a semi-crowded place (the Avenues!). We started where we always do at Magic Planet (so Nory could hop on a few rides and run about) and then made our way to Tim Horton's for a coffee and a snack. Of course we had to be criticized for bringing "such a tiny baby" out in public while we were there, but rather than saying what was REALLY on my mind, I maintained some self control and thanked them for their concern. P.S. She is almost 12 pounds and two months old. P.P.S. Thank goodness they spoke to the caffeinated version of me.
* Friday night I returned to the Avenues (GOLD STAR!) for a friend's birthday celebration. We went for pedicures (the birthday girl READ MY MIND!) and then we ate dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. And THEN we battled our way through an INSANE NUMBER OF PEOPLE to get a few errands done. It was so much fun! No really, it was! Happy Birthday "Coco"!!!!!
* Saturday morning Phil had practice and so I took Nory into school to play on the slides with a friend. She also took it upon herself to sit, splash, and drink every puddle in sight, which might be why she has a runny nose this week. (Or was it because she licked the elevator wall the other day? I can't keep up.)
* Sunday afternoon, Jet attended her VERY FIRST BASKETBALL GAME!!!!!! She got all dressed up in team colours and showed her support by sleeping her way through EVERY. SINGLE. QUARTER. Nory also wore some Falcon Blue and looked pretty in a new sparkly dress. She was a little more busy than Jet was (HA!!!!) and I was super thankful we brought Kumari along so we could trade off and each catch a bit of the game :) A big thank you to Roxanne who also helped manage the Parkinson Glam Squad! I wouldn't have caught a minute of the game without these two! xo
* The blog's been quiet this week for one MAJOR reason: Jet has pulled THREE all-nighters in a row. Saturday night - no sleep! Sunday night - no sleep! Monday night - no sleep! AHHHH! And you have to believe me when I tell you that Nory is the loudest sister around and we do not run a quiet household during the day. The lights are on, music is playing, Nory is running and jumping and laughing and screaming. You'd think that Jet would have her days and nights figured out already. Alas, when it's quiet and dark in the wee hours of the night, Jet feels the need to perk up and party on. Sigh. The good news - the REALLY, REALLY GOOD NEWS - is that she slept from about 7:30 to 7:30 last night (waking only to eat quickly) and I'm hoping this AMAZING trend continues. Oh please let it continue......
* Parenthood is OVER, you guys. I can't even believe it. How can a program draw you in for years, make you part of the family, and then say FAREWELL in a mere 42 minutes?! Luckily other shows have returned and Scandal freaked me the heck out so badly that I might forget about the Braverman's altogether. #yaright #butscandalwasstillsuperscary
* Nory and I haven't been outside to play in DAYS. DAYS! Normally she says "BIKE!" and "FRIENDS!" first thing in the morning, but we've been so wrapped up in endless hours of tubby time, along with endless hours of painting/drawing/stickering that the courtyard has temporarily lost its appeal. Perhaps a certain birthday present will draw her back to the sunshine.......

So glad you are getting out and now that Miss Jet is over 11 lbs. she will begin sleeping longer. Sending love. Miss you. xo Mama
