Summer Vibes

Summer is quickly approaching (as in it officially begins this Friday)!
Our summer usually takes on a theme of things we have accepted. Some years, it's a lot of fairs and festivals, some years it's a lot of day trips, some years it's a lot of bbqs and visiting.


This year is shaping up to be a BBQ and visits kind of summer! My favourite kind - So laid back and relaxed!


I really want to get a handle on the back deck situation- We ordered our dining set and a double lounger daybed kind of thing. They cancelled our order because they were out of stock, but still haven't updated the website to say out of stock. So we ordered it again and are now in a war with them. Even if they just let me pick a similar set and price match would be good! I just want to get it done so we can set up back there- I want to eat dinner out there ALL OF THE TIME.


*side note: our mosquito trap has shipped and it should arrive soon. I have high hopes that this propane powered beast will solve a lot of bug issues.


We have at least three weekends booked to bring the kids for pool parties/bbq's etc, and not including the ones we will host.


I have Woodstock to plan for and Keira's birthday party (both in August, one weekend apart).


We failed miserably at booking the cottage this year, but may look into it for two nights for just the 4 of us somewhere in the area, since the cottage is always a highlight of the kids summer. But are working to try and figure out a trip to Parc Safari and potentially Vaughn (but I don't know if I want to have the kids in the car for THAT long). It's funny how some years things just seem to not fall into place, no matter how much you try lol.


I got the calendar for Garett's summer camp this morning, and I must say that I am VERY jealous, and feel guilty for totally taking summer vacation for granted as a child lol.
Programming:
Mondays: new activity days (introduction to cross fit, martial arts, Zumba, yoga, etc- a new one each week)
Tuesdays: Guest speakers (fire fighters, singers, dancers, etc)
Wednesdays: Field trips (pizza pizza, parc omega, a local high school etc)
Thursdays: Water play days (outside or at a local splash pad)
Fridays: Theme days (western, super heroes, etc)


We also have a family picture session/watermelon mini session for the kids booked in July- we are about 3 years overdue for some new professional family pictures lol oops!


What are your big plans this summer?

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...
