Spring

The official first day of Spring started with a bunch of snow overnight and continued with pissing rain all day.

We took a trip into Toronto today to do some baby shopping. First off to a rather nice Maternity boutique where I spent an obscene amount of money on a pretty top. Then down to Bloor Street to Pottery Barn Kids where we started to shop for this little fellow. I bought the bassinet I had been after, some bedding for it (blue and white gingham check), some bedding to match for the big crib, and a couple of cute teddies. Oh and a white wicker basket to match the bassinet with the same fabric lining it. So nice!.

G and I agree that we miss City living to a certain extent. Not the actual living, in the city, bit.... but the smart stores, the life, the sophistication. Suburbia just don't got it. You can't walk to a Starbucks on a Sunday morning here, most peoples idea of a gourmet meal out is Chicken Wings, and it's all very samey and bland in every other respect. I wouldn't like to live downtown in a big city again but our next place of living is definitely going to have to be somewhere a bit 'smarter' than here.

After our expedition downtown we popped up to one of D and G's favourite places 'Race World' so that D could have a play on their track and so that they could get some new gadgets for D's Scalextric. Came home with some complicated computer race management system which hooks up to the track, and my personal favourite...a big truck.

Once we got home we braved the basement storage room and went through all the boxes which have been sitting there basically since we moved here. Goal - to find and retrieve baby clothes and accessories. Success, although it took several hours. Now I have to sift through all the clothes and sort them into age group, then wash them all! So cute though, you forget how small they are at that age :-)
