The Weekend (and Canada Day!)

[mishka29]

I'm still trying to figure out why I am at work today. Should have gone for the super long weekend like 3/4 of the office did!

Happy weekend. It's a long weekend in this house. With the 4th on Tuesday H has a 4 day weekend will work 2 days and then a 3 day weekend.

We might have some friends over tomorrow, I'm seeing if they are available. Otherwise it's just get this house in order.

We are flying out today. Packed this morning and H took the day as a comp day to finish getting us ready to go. So many fits over not flying this morning and having to go to school.

I actually got a night out yesterday. I went out to dinner with my sil and bil then saw a Blue Jays games. So nice to have a night of fun!

Long but good day. DH gets a four day weekend, wahoo! But it's already packed with varying family obligations.

seamonster got your PM and will get back to you. Safe travels!

DS got a short nap hour nap at daycare and finally fell asleep almost 90 minutes after we landed. So much screaming. But with the time change it'll feel like sleeping in in the morning.

One of my best friends is due July 4th. She's trying to convince her H to name their daughter Soirse for freedom. He's not going with it.

A busy Saturday day here.

Yesterday was family game nite! It was fun. Today we did some grocery shopping for the 4th. Tonight we are going to summer nights at the zoo: listen to live music, bring a picnic, and enjoy a laser light show at night! Oh and maybe see some animals too 🦁

Yesterday we were lazy. We have 3 days of July 4th festivities starting this afternoon. I woke up early to work on homework then I'm hoping to get a nap so I can make it through fireworks tonight.

seamonster hope your trip is going well & everyone adjusted to the time difference.

Extra early visit to the farmers market yesterday so we could eat breakfast there. Hung out with SIL. Ate dinner at my parents' cause my aunt came to visit. Two family functions today.

I've been spending way too much time staring at my phone so I'm trying to cut back, which generally means leaving it in another room so I'm not thoughtlessly picking it up.

Tonight DH, my sister, and I are going to Ribfest (Naperville) to see Lacey Sturm (former singer of Flyleaf), Collective Soul, and Shinedown! I have seen Collective Soul in concert twice before and they are amazing live. Can't wait. Also: ribsssss!!!! I'm not eating lunch so I can indulge, but ribs are carb friendly!

That sounds like so much fun dreemkin!

I started my painting project last night. I'm using chalk paint to re-do an old hutch. The outside is going to be yellow and the inside (behind the glass) is teal. I did the teal last night and a second coat this am and it looks amazing!!!

It's been such a long weekend and it's only half over! Long weekends are rough with two small kids.

Ordered the washing machine. Thankfully there are Canada day deals on so we got a deal and we ended up getting the matching dryer.

Busy weekend at work and very sick toddler. V has a nasty cold that keeps him up at night. I'm beat.

But I'm off till Thursday and excited for the holiday on Tuesday. It's one of my favorite nights of the year. Not sure what all we are going to do since has to work and with V sick, but i can watch fireworks from my house so it doesn't really matter.

[kartish]

dreemkin sounds like a great time! Enjoy yourself!

mishka29 I download Tapatalk for picture posting, it's really easy with the app. And I want to see pictures too!

Happy Canada Day!

The trip is going well. We've gotten to hang out with BIL and SIL the last couple days, plus MIL. Go to see FIL and SMIL, and BIL and SIL, tomorrow.

I think we're going to skip the fireworks as DS has been really upset by hearing them in the distance. I'd love to share them with him, but the noise is a bit much right now.
