Saturday evening we attended a wedding for my cousin, and the kids spent the night at their grandparents house. Mr. J was planning on staying over again Sunday night, so we decided that we would take Mr. K out and do something special with him.

Discovering Ottawa - Museum of Science and Technology
Living in the Nations Capital, we are very fortunate to have access to MANY museums. One of my favourites as a child was the Museum of Science and Technology. My grandparents lived not far from it, and we visited often together.

Impromptu Splash Pad Visit
My kids love going to splash pads, but I find them super busy and just don't really like taking them. I try and get them out at least once in a season so they can enjoy it, and it often ends up being an impromptu stop as we drive by....which means we are totally unprepared.

His "First" Lunch Box (#giveaway)
As hard as it is for me to accept that my little man, Mr. K is old enough to start school in September, it is true. He will be turning 4 in a month, and starting junior kindergarten the following week. Now that Ontario has gone to full day kindergarten, it is necessary for him to have a lunch box of his own for daily use.
When I was a kid, lunch boxes were all about My Little Pony, Cabbage Patch Dolls, He Man and Transformers. There are SO many different kinds to choose from now (and they are so very different styles too!)

#Win 4 Tickets to Walking With Dinosaurs - The Arena Spectacular in #Ottawa
Wouldn't it be neat to be able to see Dinosaurs up close? Not just the ones created for television and movies, but actually walking around?
