Weekend recap

Busy past few days...

One of my cats went missing on Thursday afternoon--Friday night around 11 she finally came home :) I was so happy and wired that I barely got to sleep.

3:30 AM on Saturday morning...the cell phone goes off....we call the number back and the number doesn't work...wtf.

Saturday was our October date day. This months date involved Garett, so we loaded up and headed all the way out to Carp Farmers Market. I love Markets! So we wandered around and bought some fudge (skor, chunky peanut butter and caramel walnut flavours), some real maple syrup, pickled beets (for Ty ) , dill pickles and our pumpkins (Ty got an orange and I to a white one). We stopped to watch a man playing some music because Garett was really curious and then we headed out :)

We drove a few minutes down the road to Alice's Village Cafe for breakfast. In this place you order your food at the counter and they bring it out when it's ready. The food was good (and the cinnamon bun we split was to die for)
We headed back into ottawa after and stopped into Michaels in Orleans for our pumpkin carving gear--a new knife, a scoop with sharp teeth (amazing) , some paint brushes, paint,and I bought some Halloween cookie cutters too lol Garett had his first ride in a shopping cart here :)

When we were done, we headed over to my mother/father in laws house and dropped Garett off for 40 minutes while we took advantage of the nice day and went o a driving range nearby
We sat at a picnic table after our buckets and drank a soft drink and headed back. My sister in law and her husband came by too and we had a big dinner with salad, baked spaghetti and garlic bread--I was so full! We headed home around 7:30 and watched the majority of the hockey game before we all passed out!

Garett and grandpa had the same idea

Sunday we woke up, I laid all the carving stuff out on the table with newspaper, then I headed out and got stuff for a big breakfast. Ty made it for us and we relaxed for a bit--we then proceeded to carve/paint away!

Once that was cleaned up, I cleaned all the seeds and made one batch normal sea salt and the other batch spicy--yum!

Garett ate his last feeding of broccoli --onto other stuff ....he was feeling festive in his Halloween outfit :)

After that, we all watched "it's the great pumpkin Charlie Brown" special I bought
When the movie was over I thought I would get artsy--Garett is it cooperative enough for artsy yet, but this will still make a cute momento. 

Tonight , we are ordering in dinner and watching World War Z with snacks :) a perfect way to end a perfect rainy day!
Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend as much as I did :)

      We really liked it--a few parts were for sure disturbing, but I guess necessary? Lol I thought it would be more scary, but kind of thankful it wasn't! I don't love brad Pitt in the role though--he just looked to hard to believe--like an ex-military guy with long hair? No . Lol

Life Lately

-Hosting Bearbrook Ladies night two weekends ago was wonderful! I put out a full charcuterie spread, made a mint/cranberry/grapefruit drink to share, and all of us received a tarot card reading, palm read and a facial read. Pretty much the reoccurring consensus between all three reads (it was two different people doing it) was that my heart and mind live in a state of conflict, but that it works for me to live in a state of balance. I deal mostly with logic and facts, and less with emotions; they think I would be good as an analyst (weird, since this is pretty well my role at work), and with numbers (which I also do all day at work lol). I'm stubborn and loyal and do not have a mean streak. That I am the same person at home as I am in social settings...blah blah blah. It was interesting! -Last weekend, we went out to Tyler's Disco Inferno show to celebrate our friend Jami and Donna's birthdays. We danced away (one of Keira's ECE's from daycare came out too!) and i...

-Garett went on his first friend play date ever , and he had so much fun. It was his two best friends that left daycare to start school last year. -happy that while Garett was at his play date, Tyler was home with Keira and I went out for a bit alone, then came home and we finished The Belko Experiment movie before I went to get him. (He was there for two hours) -sad that this week, Garett only has four days left at daycare :( Friday is Keira's first day, while I keep g home with me. Can't believe it's already almost school time!! -as a "goodbye" gift from g, we bought his daycare provider a necklace from peoples that is a heart with some Garnet stones in it (Garett's birthstone), to remember him by, and I ordered an Aukey essential oils diffuser , a doTERRA starter kit and an essential oils mixing guide recipe book thing. Hopefully she likes it. -Keira adapted SO well to putting herself down for her nap. She's down to one a day, and I just give...

Friday fun!

Thank God it's Friday, and that this week is O-V-E-R!!! -It was a stressful week at home. Looking forward to a fun weekend! -I am being audited for child care expenses in 2018--I'm not the only one that thinks we pay too much money in child care! LOL...I submitted my receipts online (they are catching up with the times and it's great!) and turns out I actually underclaimed by a few hundred dollars haha. -Tonight is calm, just hanging at home with the kids. -Saturday I have an eyelash appointment at 2:00, and then we have a sitter coming at 6:00 so we can go to a Wine & Cheese night up the road at our friends house. -Sunday is a day of rest until the evening when Shan comes over and we head into town to go to the Trailer Park Boys Christmas at the NAC (I bought Tyler and I tickets as an early Christmas gift). We are sitting pretty close, so I hope we don't get any of their nasty sweat on us lol -Monday I am off since the TPB thing only starts at 8PM, I didn...
