Playing Catch-up for the week

- We had tacos for dinner last night. I didn't realise that I bought only the shells and not the full dinner kit (I don't pay enough attention when I shop for groceries), so I made my own taco seasoning, and it was actually better than the box stuff--now I wish I could remember everything I threw into it so I could just continue to do that!


- I went through a few boxes of Garett's clothes last night. I didn't realise how much of it I actually kept, and how much space it was taking up in the garage (not to mention the couple of rubber maids in the basement full also). I went through and kept what I wanted and the rest we are getting rid of--I will want new stuff for the next baby as well, so just keeping what means something sentimentally to me, and the things that I know I will use again (those onesies with the zippers up the front for sure, and the ones with the fold over mitts!!).


- I also didn't realise I had an entire box of empty picture frames. I recycled most of them (good thing today is garbage day lol), and kept a few of the nicer ones that I will use. Another box down!


- I emptied a rubber maid that was filled with random junk--straight to the garbage. For someone who likes to purge so much, I seem to accumulate a bunch of stuff I never even use or look at!!


- I took a nice hot bath last night-finally :) I read a few chapters of my book and got out.


- I went through our closet on another round of cleaning. Another garbage bag to drop off!


- We have a yard waste bag that is half full in the garage, and everyday when I open the garage door when we get home, Garett will find a handful of leaves and run over to throw them into the bag haha. What a good helper!


- His tricycle is also in the garage, so we never get into the house without a " Mommy, I ride bike?", followed by a 10 minute bike "ride" up and down the road.


- I did not win the bake off yesterday--too many good bakers. Now I know how competitive it gets and will bring my A-game in December for the next one lol


- I tried to buy some bedding for our room last night. But $80 in shipping and nearly $70 in duties? uh, no. So I have one at bed, bath and beyond that I've been looking at, but I still want to look more. I'm having trouble just committing to this one, which means I'm unsure of it...I hate shopping for the one thing in the room that will make everything "pop". I ordered a few cool things though, and they should be here sometime next week :)


- People are dropping like flies here at work. Two have left for maternity leave in the last week, and one just said she is only coming back in September now (instead of June).


- I think we are going to cancel our Canada Day get together...since it's a weeknight, and Tyler and I have to leave fairly early the next day for Montreal.


- This month is so busy, we only have one weekend to be together as a family.


- Girls weekend is booked and paid for :)


- While I'm gone this weekend, Tyler and G have plans to hit up Ty's store for Star Wars weekend. The cosplay guys from Ottawa that dress up as Star Wars characters will be there. Garett loves those guys.


- Tyler and his business partner got the keys for the store next door to theirs. They are turning it into another hangout space and getting it liquor licensed. I have been recruited to help decorate the bar side, and have big plans! haha


- I want to BBQ tonight. I meant to throw a meat and marinade mixture in the fridge last night, but I was a zombie, I was so tired and forgot. The crows have been waking me up at 5AM the last two days. My own fault for wanting to sleep with the window cracked a bit!


That's all for now--I will be MIA for the next 5 days or so, as I am off Friday and Monday.


Hope everyone has a great rest of the week and manages to enjoy the weekend (hard work, I know).
