Last week was crazy busy. This weekend was quiet. Much needed! I am still recovering from staying up til 3am on Thursday night putting a powerpoint presentation together and getting up at 7am to head out to a conference. I used to be able to bounce back from a night like that but not anymore! I have been in a haze all weekend.
When I got home Friday, I took the boys out for an ice cream treat which was just as much for me as for them! As we drove back into our neighbourhood, I just had to stop and take some photos of the mushroom city that is rapidly developing...I'm estimating about 50 of these amazing things now!
Soon after I took these photos, I was in bed, recovering from a full but rewarding week. Saturday brought soccer and hockey games. No photos...which tells you how I was feeling!
Friday was Caramel Apple Day and I had full intentions having making caramel apples with the boys Friday night but that just didn't happen so this weekend turned into caramel apple weekend and we made some Sunday afternoon. I used a bag of Kraft Premium Caramel Bits which I had picked up at Target las week...made these so easy! Everyone kind of did their own thing...Neil had his plain, I had mine with milk chocolate and toasted almonds, Colin did just chocolate webbing to start but then added some almonds and Adam covered his caramel with milk chocolate and then drizzled on white chocolate. We had an extra one which we added chocolate and sprinkles too and Colin's friend Jonah will probably have that when he is over this evening!
Sunday was a gorgeous day and it was good to get outside for a walk with a friend. I am at peace with a big decision I had to make and ready to start a new week fresh and rested!
