weekend pics

during the day on saturday, i had brunch at the shaughnessy restaurant located at van dusen gardens with some awesome co-workers, they are such a great group of women.  afterwards, i went shopping, well i tried, but didn't purchase anything although i was tempted to buy these boots.   we also carved the pumpkins we brought home from the pumpkin patch.

i love that kai drew out his design first.

 

 

stefan and i we went to hear anthony bourdain speak at the centre in vancouver for performing arts .  he is a celebrity chef, traveler, bestselling author, and host of the travel channel's anthony bourdain: no reservations.  it was a one night only performance and it was exactly what i thought i would be getting - profanity, crazy travel adventures, and his love of food.  he was an entertaining and awesome storyteller!

on sunday, i breakfasted with my boys at granville island. back at home we played pictionary - kai impressed us with some very awesome drawings. he was focused and detailed, it was very cool to watch.  stefan has been eager to shop so i accompanied him for a quick and successful shopping spree (he bought a shirt, belt, and boots and i came home empty handed, so unfair!).  stefan also prepared another pot pie from martha stewart.  it was a delicious braised beef and potatoes take on a potpie.  kai has a second helping but i prefer the chicken pot pie from last week which was more flavourful and healthier.

jerome is stefan's favourite vendor at the market

this french bakery makes the best buns - my boys go through alot during the work/school week

it's so practical to have a wine shop at granville island, stefan picked up a bottle to braise the meat for the pot pie

  

the winner of pictionary!
