Happy Homemaker 2018-04-23

Linking up to Sandra at Diary of a Stay at home mom 

Hope everyone had a good week.  Work week was so-so - had the feeling something weird was in the air!
Some good moments nonetheless... a lunch with some co-workers (friends) on Wednesday, a celebratory break for our young Chinese coworker getting married on the 22nd, another lunch with team-coworkers on Friday.   Paint class started on Tuesday and then wednesday after work class of massage with balls for the feet (felt soooo good!).  Trying to find the massage balls I THINK I bought for Christmas so I can do those massages here too. 

My daughter & her boyfriend came Friday night as well as my son & his girlfriends.  Kids were here all weekend.  Had a birthday supper for dd on Saturday night.  One of my brothers and his girlfriend came too (he is her godfather) and one sil & bil (her godmother).  She seemed pleased with her gifts too ($$, subscription to Good-Eating magazine, scented candle, healthy snacks, capers in salt).  The kids had gone to the dollar store in the afternoon and bought some balloons, trumpets, bubbles, popcorn & popcorn bowls, then they got some wine, cheese and bread too.

Sunday was brunch at other sil's for my nephew's birthday.  Got there around 10:30 and I left around 3:30.  DD had left around 1:00 and DS around 1:30.  Then I enjoyed some time on the patio because we finally had some sun and it was warm!

  1. I'm so over snow, my friend. I will be glad when it's all done and over with. Can't wait to see your paint class results.
    Also, we love bubbles here too!

  3. Yes, happiness certainly is blowing bubbles! Fun. Sounds like you had a super happy weekend and your daughter received some great gifts. I'm all for no snow as well; gonna gamble and get out the spring/summer clothes this week, I think. Hope you have a wonderful week ahead!
