February 20, 2012 - Family Day

Today is a statuatory holiday in Ontario, called Family Day.  It has only been around for a few years.  I like the concept of a stat holiday in the middle of February.  However I don't like the media attention on the holiday, which makes me feel as if I am wasting the day if I don't do something exciting (and expensive) with my family today. 
We decided to go to Krispy Kreme (the Husband got a gift certificate from the church fundraiser) and get some doughnuts.  The kids had never been, and I was pleased when we saw that they were making doughnuts when we arrived.  Actually, they were making doughnut holes.  So the kids watched the process, and then we had a doughnut and went out for lunch.

Lunch was great, we went to Casey's.  One of our favourite restaurants, the Husband and I had the buffalo chicken strips, as usual.  It was nice, because the Baby slept, so the older kids had our undivided attention.

This weekend has been tough with the breastfeeding, but I am pleased that the Baby did not have a bottle yesterday at all.  Yeah!  I think my milk has finally reestablished, and it is mostly satisfying him.  I do admit that he is feeding every 30 minutes to 4 hours now.  Before he was taking a bottle every 3 to 4 hours.  But I am much more happy now.
