Weekend and your ideas

Well I figured I would update you all on how CanSkate went on Friday. Let's just say it couldn't have gone much worse! It was awful!!! When we register kids, we ask that they at least be able to stand by themselves on the ice. When I was getting the kids on the ice, tons of them had never been on ice before!! I was telling the kids to skate around the rink to warm up and so that we could get everyone on the ice and they just stared at me blankly. The parents were all hanging over the boards and told me that they couldn't understand or speak english and they had never been on the ice before! I was SO frustrated!!!! I can speak a tiny bit of German, but I have no idea how to explain what they are supposed to do! I'm not out there to explain everything in 2 languages. There just isn't enough time in the day for me to do that. I know that some of the parents were pretty upset while the kids were on the ice, but they need to understand that we can't spend one on one time with their child for 45 minutes! I'm just hoping and praying that it will go better today. All prayers are welcome! Sorry for yet another rant.

Now for some exciting news... MY WEDDING DRESS IS AT HOME!!!!! My mom, Wendy and I went to the city Saturday morning and picked up Carolyn. We then headed to Stella's to try on my dress and take it home! It was very busy in the store, so I'm glad we weren't there for long. I love it even more now than I did before! When I came out of the fitting rooms, all kinds of people were commenting on gorgeous my dress was! It needs a very few alterations which is awesome! When we were done at Stella's, we quickly went to Polo Park and got some jewelery and a tiara for myself for the wedding. We quickly had some lunch, went to Fabricland to pick up some more yellow material to wrap the flower stems. We then went to a little store called Butterfly Fashions. I got my grad dress there and we wanted to see if we could find a flower girl dress. We found a very cute one in the right size. It was a bit over what the parents wanted to pay, but the owner of the store gave us $10 off!! It was another successful day!

I know all of you are creative and I'm needing some ideas. We're not sure what to do behind the head table at the reception. We were thinking of having one of Matt's hockey jerseys and one of my skating dresses (his hockey jersey is black and yellow and my skating dress is yellow), but we have no idea what else to do. Do you have any ideas or suggestions?

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
