Parades, Museums, and a week without Mom

Clark here this week. Tara has skipped off to NB for a week for a wedding and to hunker down to get a thesis draft completed. We had a pretty jam packed weekend though -- including the Santa Claus parade, an extended Saturday afternoon Museum visit, and a great visit with Simon and Judith. I'll let the photos tell the story. See you next week!

The Help Santa parade -- Lots of old firetrucks because it was organized by the Ottawa Firefighters.

Also, the Garlic King. Because: REALLY Lebanese food.

Post-parade snuggles for warmth.

Reading about insects at the Nature Museum.

Drawing moths and butterflies

Linden's butterfly!

Juniper's butterfly!

Just chillin', talkin' 'bout home renos and other such things.

Sunlit story time.

And checkers!

Linden was pretty proud of this drawing of me. He even came over to me once to see what my teeth looked like. "They're square, ok!". The reason he has no pants on is because he got filthy outside, and S&J have lots of nice light-coloured furniture.
