scenes from the weekend
The weekend was good. The popsicle party on Saturday went off without a hitch. It was well attended and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Ken placed a sprinkler under the trampoline and the kids jumped in the spray. They loved it! (Instagram video of it here).
My parents very kindly offered to watch the kids post-party, and Ken and I had our first date night in a month or so. It was so nice to have time together, just the two of us. Yay for date nights! We grabbed burgers here and saw a movie (yay for entertainment!). We saw Thanks for Sharing which I much enjoyed. I don't need a fancy date night to feel re-connected. A burger and a movie is fantastic, as far as I'm concerned.
Sunday we celebrated the equinox with a little tea party. I attempted to make aebelskivers for the first time ever. I bought a little pan at the Scandinavian festival last spring. You guys--it's hard! They were tasty, but none too pretty. I will say they make a delightful tea dish. We even got a touch of fall-ish weather, so the timing was perfect.
Otherwise, it was a fairly normal weekend with chores and hanging out. I'm ready for another week!

What a nice way to start the new fall season! Though I am extremely sad to see summer go away, I cannot wait for those nice and cool summer days. And I love the fruit pop picture :) very refreshing to look at.
I too love the fruit pop - it is almost too beautiful to eat (: From the smiles it is easy to tell it was a fun event. I really like that little tea cup/mug. I love your tradition of the equinox teas. Simple easy traditions are often the best ones. Enjoy the week ahead!
What a colourful fruit-popsicle!
I agree with the above comment: Your equinox teas are such a lovely tradition, it gets you more connected with the change of seasons, love that!
Ooh, that popsicle looks yum! And your abelskivers look delicious too. I bought a set of four ramekins at a tag sale this summer ($1 for the set!) that I think match your teacup and saucer. So fun!
Yeah for popsicle parties! You guys have great neighborhood activities :)
I recently checked out a Scandinavian cookbook and have a long list of foods I want to try, so many look delicious, bravo to you for trying a new recipe!
