Party Day

Seems like DS’s b-day has run 4 days long! Gotta love being a kid, eh?! Today was the last day of DS-fest with his birthday party with 7 of his friends. He had decided last month that he wanted his party to be at the local glow in the dark mini golf place. I was a little nervous because we’ve been there as guests for parties before and they always seemed like a gong show to me. But the bash went off without a hitch and the kids had a blast. But first I fuelled with a wonderful bowl of oats.

• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup flax seed porridge
• cinnamon
• Enjoy Life Foods trail mix
• splash of vanilla toffee coffee “creamer”

Nom, nom, nom! And before I forget, I enjoyed a mug of Bellagio hot chocolate last night while watching “the Reader”.

Anybody seen this movie? What did you think of it? My hubby went to watch a hockey game so I took the opportunity to watch it. It wasn’t terrible or anything like that….I just have a gut feeling that the book is MUCH better. Actually, I think I’m going to see if I can borrow it from the library.

Party time was from 12-2. The kids golfed and played some arcade games before diving into 3 boxes of pizza. I planned ahead with my lunch a packed a WW bagel stuffed with a LC cheese wedge, ham, lettuce and mango wasabi sauce:

I packed it up in this way cute Valentine’s Ziploc baggie:

I couldn’t resist these bags when I saw them at the dollar store. I’m such a dweeb! :) HA! I also snacked a some dried apricots and nuts as we were walking out the door.

Here are some shots of the golf course. It’s actually a pretty neat place and my new camera did a good job of taking pictures with the lighting…

Here’s DS at the air hockey table and doing the birthday cake thang;

And a close up of the cake. I’m sure you’ll all be shocked at the theme! :D

We were home and settled in by 3pm for some serious down time. I didn’t have to worry about cooking dinner because we had lots of leftovers to use up. I spent my time reading some magazine’s, reading some blogs, watching a few cooking shows and enjoying a pineapple flax muffin with a little chocolate honey spread on.

When we finally got around to supper I made the exact same as last night. Half a kabocha with some tomato sauce and Allegro cheese.

Who even needs lasagna? To me this tasted like the real deal! We went to my parents for a visit tonight where I munched on 2 chocolate chip cookies and sipped a tea. We were discussing how it’s just not fair that the weekend is only 2 days. We’re of the same opinion that it should be at least 3 days long. Yes? LOL! I wish.

This week is pretty booked up again. Here’s sneak peek.

• Monday: Dance and hockey practice
• Tuesday: Pilate’s
• Wednesday: swimming
• Thursday: skating lessons (DD) and a hockey game (DS)
• Friday: free so far

How’s your week shaping up?

Bye for now!!
