The girls went to Monika's bridal shower and the men stayed home :(

Our weekend was busy. Saturday Sarah and Ella went to Monika's bridal shower and according to Sarah was "the best bridal shower she has ever been too." Now I haven't went to any bridal showers before and honestly I would prefer doing anything other than the such. What man could sit around, eat and ohh and ahh for hours over bridal gifts like housewares and lingerie, ughhh!?

So Sarah and Ella spent about an hour getting ready beforehand, to say my wife Sarah is in heaven because her and her daughter can spend time getting dressed, primping their hair and putting on makeup is an understatement. So Ethan and I escaped before all this started to Yorkdale where I walked and he rode (in his stroller), we had a very enjoyable time going at our own pace and not having to keep up with my wife who always has a agenda when she goes to the mall.

Sarah looked beautiful, Ella looked ADORABLE! After 4 hours they arrived home with full stomachs, gifts from winning the bridal shower games and Ella asleep in her carseat. It must have been a busy afternoon talking weddings. Next up, Monika's wedding!

I am sure many of you heard that last night there was an explosion at Keele and Wilson, which is very close to both our office and our house. Sarah awoke me at 3:30 saying the bed had just been shaken quite violently and she thought we were having an earthquake (Myself and the kids slept through it). Well once awoken I could see what she was talking about because it kept going, small shakings then large shakings. I had absolute no clue and I chalked it up to bad thunderstorms. This morning I was surprised to find out when I turned on the TV that all this had occurred. All I can say is thank god no one was seriously hurt and really this was too close to home.

We stayed home today and I am amazed, other than the corner where our office was closed going westward and CP 24 constantly running footage about the explosion you wouldn't have known anything happened. Life just goes on as usual, even though less than 5km from here a serious and very scary thing happened. People could've been really hurt if this happened during the day and people were outside, cars going by, businesses running, etc. We really need to look into why this happened and put in more safety measures to protect our communities.

Well it's been a long weekend and we start at 7am tomorrow. Good night!
