- That the move went off without a hitch, had a great night and things are coming along with getting settled in! -The kids didn't miss a beat and are sleeping like champs in their new house -Since I got rid of A LOT....like, ALOT of stuff before we moved, I am now shopping on Wayfair.ca ALOT. I have Keira's room almost complete now. Just have to wait for it to get here and put it all together. I bought her a grey soft shaggy area rug, painting the walls a light pink, bought some white heart wall decals, new bedding, need to hang her curtains and put closet doors (and some shelves) up. I just need to figure out wall décor. - Also ordered new shower curtains and bath mats. -Also ordered the kids their new snowsuits for this year. -Garett's had a bit of a rough week at school. But I think we have found an agreeable solution, and things are looking up. Then I get a call today that he fell on the yard and scraped up his top lip on the pavement :( Poor kid. - Bake sal...

-That I left work a few minutes early last night to grab lettuce, tomatoes, shredded cheese for tacos- I had made the taco meat the night before, so all I had to do was toss in a pan and reheat and boom dinner was ready! -Casey and Shan and Rylie popped by for a bit, and Casey helped Ty bring up/deliver the futon and big table in the basement to where they needed to go. So now the basement is that much emptier :) -Val came over around 6:45, to watch the kids/put them to bed because the Lawyer had a cancellation and could take us last night instead of tonight. We got everything signed off and were home by 7:30 (which is when our appointment was originally scheduled to start!). We visited a bit with Val and then went up and got to tuck Garett in. -We caught up on a few more episodes of House before we hit the hay also. - This morning we all slept in, and Tyler ended up taking both kids, so I made it here by 7:30! -I didn't win on any of my poker lottery tickets last night (...

We had such a great long weekend, I hate to see it end, but next weekend will be fun too! On Friday, I left work around 2:00, went and did a bit of shopping, stopped for gas and headed home. Garett had a PD day from school, so he was with the Early Learning Center on their field trip to Proulx farm. They did corn mazes, tractor rides, etc and picked a pumpkin to bring home. "I picked the biggest one I could carry!" he exclaimed as he ran in the door lol. I ordered in Pizza and chicken nuggets/ fries and the twins were at our house around 4:45. TJ and Jami stopped by to get us around 5:00 and we headed downtown. Before we left, in true fall fashion, I had a little sip of this. When we got there, our dome was not yet ready, so we sat around the fire and I had two of the Scoffau drinks (which is bitters, whiskey, lime, champagne or something). It was very good! Our other couple arrived, and we visited until we were seated (we were visiting here for about 4...

Randomness today: -Fishing derby weekend. Looks like they will have nice weather! -Garett had Beavers last night , and is counting down the days until next Thursday. He is a boy obsessed. -Tomorrow the kids and I are going to our friends house/our new neighbours in 15 days for a potluck/bonfire. -I ordered a new shirt last night to keep me warm when we got to the Recolte: Fall harvest dinner next Friday! - My license plate sticker renewal is taking FOREVER to get to my house. I ordered it on September 14, and with everything going on weather wise, I assume that put a hold up on it. Hopefully it comes soon, or I have to go into the Service Ontario office and request a replacement. -Garett did his Terry Fox run yesterday and had a blast! -Next week, Garett's "Lunch Lady" program AND pizza days (every Thursday) starts. I am excited for the lunch packing days to be minimized! -We got rid of our basement sectional the other day, the futon, and the big arts an...

Time is flying on by! As per the norm, I can't seem to get caught up or stay caught up. Oh well. Such is life when you're busy! Garett started Beavers a few weeks ago and LOVES it. Last night, he earned the little tail for the back of his hat. My Frockbox came again, and I kept 2/5 items. One cashmere type pull over black sweater, and a pair of super comfy maroon jeggings that I wore out the other night. I also received my new 2018/2019 planner, and new bedsheets I ordered for the new house for us and Garett. Yesterday, I ordered all of the kids outdoor fall stuff (coats, fall shoes, mitts, hats, etc) Shannon and I went to try the drinks at FlapJacks pancake house on the weekend. They were good, there was just too much liquid in them. So we switched over to cheap gin and 7's. Had some food (which I found a bit pricey), and headed over to Pub Italia. Looked through the beer bible, but these tired mommas settled on a Caesar and an order of b...
