We're supposed to get our new water softener delivered this morning. They came out yesterday to test our water and determine what size we would want. However, they forgot to call when they got back to the shop last night to schedule a time. I suppose that means I should get dressed in case they come soon. But for now, I will stay snuggled on the couch and drink my coffee in peace since C is still sleeping.
I have a luncheon today for my mom's group and instead of packing, I think I'm meeting my mom at Kohl's. I do need to finish up packing, though; we leave Sunday morning!
This is the first day all week I've been home with LO and I've missed her. She's being really cuddly, too.
Happy Friday! E slept in until 7, I just made coffee, already loaded the dishwasher and am currently enjoying Gilmore Girls. I already call this morning a win!
Were meeting my sister at the park for a picnic and we might head over the the traveling beer garden that just opened up this week. They have free beer, root beer and snacks until the first keg runs dry!
Getting through this work day and then I'm Chicago bound! Fingers crossed H and W survive without me for 2 days. And that I don't spend all weekend texting H asking for pictures haha.
I missed that you were coming to Chicago! Is it for work?

Good morning! A lady is coming by this morning to buy the mamaroo. I have a staff appreciation lunch at the school this afternoon and today's the start of a beautiful May long weekend here!

Have a fun weekend away, carrots! Sounds like lots of fun plans all around today. DD is still sick, but we're going ahead with the party anyway since she shouldn't be contagious. So I will be prepping like crazy today! And then probably having a good cry tonight once I get the chance to sit down and think about the fact that she's ONE tomorrow.
I'm already half way through Friday afternoon! L is at her grandparents' so I'm curled up under the lovely soft blanket my friend gave me when I got home on Tuesday, eating chocolate.
Chocolate report for those who care: the humbug flavour chocolate was pretty good. I'd have liked a slightly stronger mint flavour. I'm starting on the raspberry and vanilla now. It's delicious, which is useful as I have more than one of these!
The really exciting news is that someone is finally coming to view our house on Tuesday! The estate agent says she's very keen. Of course I've just been scouring all the local estate agents and none of them have anything suitable, but we only need one house! Once we sell I'll start checking them all daily to make sure I don't miss anything :-)

It's a long weekend here... is it a holiday on Monday anywhere else?
Anyways, DH is still out of town and everyone that I know has plans. I have the next 4 days to entertain myself and the girls. Any suggestions? Oh, and it's pouring rain and the forecast says it won't stop until Monday. (Which is good, we desperately need it!)
This weekend should be a nice one. I plan on taking the boys to the library tomorrow because I'm getting sick of the books we have at home. We need some new ones to freshen up our bedtime reading session.
Also tomorrow is my and H's anniversary! 6 years married, 16 years together! My mom will watch the kids so we can go out to dinner, we haven't decided where yet. Then DS1 will spend the night with her which he is very much looking forward to.
What holiday is it sugarkissed? I don't see anything on my calendar for Monday here, but the Monday after that (30th) is Memorial Day. One of E's birthday presents will be delivered today! We got him two little tents that connect with a tunnel on Amazon. His baby play gym converts to a tunnel about a foot or so wide that he loves crawling through. Having something way bigger should be amazing to him.

purple your kitty is so cute!! Currently icing my face because DD picked up and smashed the remote, as hard as she could, into it. I'll probably have a black eye.
We are driving to NJ tonight for a wedding tomorrow. I wish we would've known that we weren't moving into our house sooner so would could've stayed and made an actual trip out of it instead of going and coming back right away.

mirage86, It's Victoria Day long weekend, more commonly known as just "May Long". Haha it's the unofficial start of summer here. All of the pools open and everyone goes camping.
It seems to be terrible weather every single year, and everyone always acts surprised and disappointed when the rain (or snow) interferes with their camping plans.
Ruh roh, you gonna have room for that ST loveseat in your room still @jemomma?
lol. This was my concern. The larger bed was H's idea. He thinks we can get rid of the chest in our room and rearrange enough to keep the loveseat. If not we will sell it
For sale - attractive love seat, works well for both missionary and from behind love making. Recommend a towel to maintain upholstery. Cash only

I'm already bored and it's 8 am. Haha.
Library Childrens museum Play doh Bath with light sticks or colored shaving cream Kiddie pool filled with balls Playplace at the mall Make a fort/tent Cook muffins
Godspeed! 4 days is a long time by yourself inside with kiddos!
It's Friday, a long weekend, and H has today off too. Yay! We will definitely get the big things done in the backyard today or maybe tomorrow. Hopefully having a lake day Sunday! Happy May long Canadian friends!

@babybean9, I didn't realize that fireworks were a thing for May Long! The girls would love that. But not likely here.... there is a province wide fire ban.

about 30 mins after I gave birth to ds1 the fireworks started just outside our hospital room. It was so funny. Joked they were for me, obviously lol
The same thing happened after DH and I got engaged! Haha.

OMG H and I got engaged on Canada day, we were camping but went into Regina for the day. On our drive back to the campgrounds because the the sky is so huge here you could see a steady stream of both lighting and fireworks in different parts of the horizon, it was very celebratory!

sugarkissed, ashbash, had some good suggestions! I'll try to add some more:
-taste test chart (try different foods, have DD1 mark which foods she and LO like, didn't like) -walks in the rain, look for worms/bugs -edible finger paints (so safe for LO) Stir 4 tablespoons of sugar and 1/2 cup cornstarch together. Add 2 cups of cold water and heat over medium heat until the mixture is thick (the mixture will further thicken as it cools). Divide into four or more containers, and add food coloring as desired.
FYI not sure if you have dollar stores, but they are a great place to get glow sticks for the tub idea.
Ugh, can I complain about being a vegetarian or is that a no-no? Whatever, here goes. H got a new grill a few weeks ago and that's alllll he's wanted to do for dinner. He has grilled every meat you can possibly think of and I'm getting so sick of coming up with veggie ideas for myself. I've done veggie kabobs, pizza, tofu, asparagus, potatoes and corn. And tonight he says he wants to grill AGAIN. I'm bored with grilling!

You can complain about being a vegetarian, but grilling is awesome and we will not tolerate complaints about grilling.

What kinds of things do you normally eat? Could you make something that he can have in addition to his grilled meat?
Yeah, I've decided tonight I'm going to make soup. It's just annoying when we are both trying to cook two different things, in two separate places and nothing is ever ready at the same time. I'm just bitching over nothing, I realize this.
