Friday Five List

This is a long weekend in Ontario due to Family Day, and it's also the weekend of my son's 3rd birthday.  Today was a crazy day at work, and so my plans to post my cookbook review tonight went out the window.  I was so wiped out that I fell asleep with my son while putting him to bed, and slept for a good hour before waking up!  Here are some of my thoughts for today:

1- It's my son's birthday, so of course he's sick and I'm not sure that he'll feel well enough to celebrate his birthday the way I'd hoped.

2- My mother in law had never seen snow before, so although I hate the cold and snow, I'm happy we've had some flurries over the past couple of days.

3- For some reason, without fail, the Friday before a long weekend is always crazy at work.  Anything that can go wrong, does.

4- My mother in law makes great black beans.  YUM!

5- Can't wait to see my son's face when he opens his gifts tomorrow!!!
