Random Thursday Post

I am getting really bad and keeping the blog going but I am getting to be at work more often now especially since we got a new boss here in Ottawa.  So I literally have been to work every day, trying to stay home at least one day.

What else has been happening...

School starts tomorrow...although both of my kids schools are doing staggered entries, so both my kids actually start Monday and they are soooo excited to see their friends!

School is going to be different but I am confident that all the guidelines will be met and everyone is going to be fine.  Also, we have a school with 80 children, not big schools like in the city, thank god!

This momma cannot and will not home school.

Aside from the school front...me work, Ricky not.  They are talking about maybe going in at the end of September and doing rotations and Ricky is okay with that.  Besides he will be off soon enough for hunting anyways.

Our spare time, we have been purging the house and cleaning rooms.

I took Maddy's old desk that was made by my Papa Earl and I am giving it a makeover to use as an island sorta thing for my kitchen.  We'll see how that works out.

I also have some projects to clean up the bathrooms which doesn't break the bank but will look less "old person-like".  I need to get some stuff that will paint over the tiles that are currently there to give it a more modern look and these cool stick and peel floor tiles that will just cover up what's there now.  Easy peasy.

I have been starting to think of Christmas and I actually have some ideas for both kids.

We are also starting hockey soon and that means $500 and of course, Tanner pretty much needs all new equipment this year.

I feel that fall is in the air - it's definetly getting cooler at nights and mornings.  I just want to get all my Fall stuff out already!

How are you fairing out?

{Weekend Rewind}

Good Morning!

Sorry for the lack of posts...I feel like its always the same thing.

What's new with us?

Last week we have my father in law move in with us because he kept falling at home, so he finally decided it was time to leave the house.  Too scared to be alone.  He agreed to put his name in the local residence near his place and until his name was "called", he was going to stay with us.  Well that only lasted a week and last week they called that they had a spot and we moved him in last Thursday.  He has been settling in well and seems to like it.

This weekend?

I watched Everlea all weekend for my sister.


Ricky went boating with his family in Campbell's Bay.

My brother, wife and Owen came for a visit which meant that all the grand kids and cousins were all together!


We hung out at the Lapierre's for some swimming, some eating and some even played texas horseshoes.

I slept with a one year old and decided that I love my life without babies.  Everlea apparently wants the room completely black and no light...so no watching TV before bed for me!

Caught up on the first episode of Big Brother All Stars.

Watched the first two episodes of the new season of Wentworth.

Maddy and I started Gilmore Girls.

We talked about going on a mini vacation with friends this week, but I decided that we need to save money for winter tires and some work around the house, so no vacay!

How was your weekend?
