we spent time with friends too. it started with a dinner out, at wild rice again, with the phillips. it was hard getting myself up from the cozy sofa to make myself presentable for a late dinner out but it was worthwhile; sharing bowls of rice noodles and chinese buns and drunken potatoes with good friends while engaged in a hilarious drawing contest (initiated by kai) is a different kind of cozy that is perfect too. such goodness.
and then ending our long weekend with alexia, darrin, and kara for an impromptu sharing of more food was lovely. think chocolates and pomegranate salad. the only time i indulge in a coffee is at their place, darrin makes the perfect double double coffee for me. thank you guys!
the absolute highlight of the entire weekend, for me, was sitting with kai in 'my' chair. i think we sat there for half a day in our pyjamas studying for his school test on wednesday, making pompoms with our new pompom maker, watching curious george and mythbusters, with some chatting mixed in. i could have stayed put in that chair for as long as he was happy nestled there by my side. there was just something really lovely about his company.
and then he tried to teach me to play mindcraft... he ended up in frustration with me and i ended up nauseous looking at the screen with all the movements happening on it. we decided a different video game might be better suited to me :-)
all in all it was a relaxing weekend.

stefan baked a most delicious banana bread loaf with pecans and chocolate chips (kai ensured there was plenty of the latter in the mix)

kai was invited to his friend's sister's 7th birthday party at the rink... he and his dad loved it!

such a lovely moment to find kai in kara's crib playing... he is awesome with the little ones
