A Restful Weekend

After walking and eating and eating and walking on Friday night at Taste of the Danforth, and a full week at camp, combined with the excitement of having a sister for a week, Ayla managed to have a fairly mellow weekend. We went to visit George and have Starbucks on Saturday, and then she fell asleep in the car on the way home. We dragged her to the mall to get some pictures developed and a shirt exchanged for me and her own Sephora pocket brush, for her very own. I thought she was going to explode in Sephora with all the make up to look at. Saturday evening was her second James Bond movie - View to a Kill (my least favorite Bond movie because the lead woman is SO DUMB). Sunday the princess wanted to sleep, so off I went to Yoga on my own, then Ayla and I did groceries, made lunch as we had guests over visiting (Ralph's niece Crystal and her two kids, along with Ralph's sister Linda and her husband Barry). Ayla made everyone desert, a berry and vanilla ice cream parfait, with decorative umbrellas, and it was the hit of the party. We popped over to Vanessa's, then home to get ready for camp. I've ruined her PUMA leisure bag by trying to put her name on it (nylon melts rather quickly) so I'll replace it, but she seemed to be OK overall with the tragedy. Off she went this morning in her jeans and cowboy boots and her little hat to Riding Camp. I'm looking forward to hearing all about it this evening, if she can keep her eyes open long enough to tell us all about it!

OMG! I can't wait to hear about Ayla's day at riding camp! It's almost 7 here and I have an information session, but I should be able to call before 9 tonight to get in a quick "I love you, how was your day".

Yoga was abandonned so soon! I am surprised, it was on the calendar...

Mis you all and love you tons, Ayla most of all.
