Our weekend :)

Whew, that was a busy but amazing weekend!

Friday night, we packed Quinn up and sent her over to G-Ma and Grumpa's house while Simon and I headed over to my friend Heather's place to celebrate her birthday.

This was no ordinary party though.

It was a plaid party!

SO FUN :)

Saturday morning was an extra-special occassion.

Simon and I slept in until 10 am!

Lets all take a moment to be thankful for grandparents...

Saturday afternoon, we picked up our little nugget and headed to the place everyone else in Ottawa apparently goes to on Saturdays.

Ikea.

 

"Hey, look. There's an adorable child for sale at Ikea."

SOLD.

Quinn loves shopping at Ikea.

 It makes her want to dance.

Saturday night, we all headed to Kanata for our friends, Nasso and Melissa's Halloween party. Quinn actually stayed asleep in her playpen the whole night (something that doesn't always happen) and the rest of us snacked on delicious goodies and played Werewolves (yesss!)

A socket and a plug. How romantic.

Sunday morning, we went out for breakfast with the rest of the party-goers from the night before. Since Quinn went right to bed when we arrived at the party, no one saw her costume so obviously we made sure she wore it to breakfast :) 

Before we left for breakfast, Simon made sure that Quinn was good and hyper...

 I couldn't love these two more

Sunday night, something HUGE happened.

Dun, dun, DUN...

Well, actually two HUGE things happened.

Dun, dun, DUN...

First, Quinn decided to stand on her own!

Then after some practice standing,

Quinn took her first steps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It happened so fast I didn't get it on video but I don't think i'll ever forget it.

Well, that about does it for me.

I hope you all had wonderful weekends too.
