We had a wonderful father's day weekend. Once again, we were lucky enough to be able to borrow Michel's cottage for the weekend so we spent a lovely few sun-filled days in the Eastern Townships. On both Saturday and Sunday, we hit the beach again as well as some great markets. The Eastern Townships has proven to be a wonderful place to find antique furniture that has been restored. Once again, we got some wonderful deals and found some absolutely amazing pieces for our new cottage. For example, we found our new dining room table as well as an amazing wood rocking chair among other things. Right now, Michel's garage is filled with our stuff and Vincent and I will have to rent a moving van to transport all the stuff to our place. We were so happy to have found such interesting things though which such character as a fraction of what we would have paid in the city!! I can't wait to move everything into the new place.
On Sunday, we had a great father's day with the kids. The sweetest moment was when Mathieu decided to list for Vincent all the reason's he loves him. e.g. "You play ball with me, You take me to the park, You are always being funny etc.". It was quite sweet and, needless to say, Vincent had tears in his eyes. Gabriel, on his side, was a bit more oblivious to the whole thing and kept singing happy birthday to himself and saying "thank you for the presents!". I don't think he quite got that this wasn't his day.
Mathieu only has 2 days left of kindergarten before he is on vacation. We have promised him we would take him for dinner to celebrate. His choice? Boston Pizza! Well, its a step up from McDonalds. After that, he is in day camp part time for a few weeks at the community centre down our street and then we are off to Winnipeg!
