weekend pics

after a busy start to the summer it was nice to spend the weekend at home. i went about the house, tidying, re-arranging, and purging.  it was very much needed. 

we had friends over at our place for dinner.  and, get this, i prepared one of the dishes!  if you have been reading this blog you know that stefan prepares 99.99999% of the cooking in our home.  thankfully, the sweet potato and coconut soup turned out okay.  actually, it was quite yummy if i can say so myself.  stefan prepared a beet salad with hazelnuts and blue cheese - like rhubarb, i love beets but don't eat them nearly enough.  he also put together a lovely main of smoked salmon with pea puree - delicious.  aadishri brought dessert - biscotti (my favourite) and ice cream, both homemade.  we ate very well and then some fun  boardgame playing ensued.  a perfect evening.

kai loves home days.  lounging in pjs for as long as he can.  eating popsicles.  experimenting with baking soda and vinegar.  building a dragon village via lego with his dad (inspired by their addiction to the video game dragonvale), crashing a three year's birthday party (it was innocent, really), practicing his whistling, and a playdate at our place.  it was a good weekend.
house grooming, friends, and good food. a lovely weekend trio, if you ask me.

yes, kai is wearing fleece pyjamas in the summer!
