No more infection but I do have inflammation so got drops for that to use when necessary, he says could be allergies. For now better but left eye is hurting especially when I wake up in the morning.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Grandchildren: Had supper and sleptover on Monday.. Xavier had fever for the first part of the night, so was not the best night - he slept ok after 1:00 am. Tuesday grandpa took them to daycare but ds had to pick up Xavier around noon, had a slight fever and threw up. He also stayed home on Wednesday but was feeling much better. Thursday dh picked them up at daycare and they sleptover. They coughed during the night and so did dh... so another fitful night. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Weekend was quite eventful. We left Saturday morning to go to dd's (arrived around 10:00) and to see her stepdaughter's gymnastic class (she is 4), was fun - . Class ended at noon so we went for burgers nearby and then to my uncle's house (got there at 2:00 pm) to go to his sugar shack. Spent the afternoon there, will post pics below. We got to see 2 of my uncles and my aunt.The kids got some maple water from the trees, tried the 4-wheeler and did some horseback riding. Left at 5:30 to go back to dd's. Excellent supper by dd and dsil. We slept there.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Sunday we left dd's after breakfast (around10:00) and went to my dad's cousin sugar shack where we stayed for lunch. His son and stepdaughter were there too and some friends of theirs. we had a nice time. was gray and humid out be we were fine in the shack. Left around 2:15 to get back home. Got home at 4:15, unpacked and kids and grankids arrived right afterwards. Ordered pizza for supper. they left at 6:30. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Nice weekend with lots of family and laughter.</span></p><p><span style="color: #223654; font-family: Roboto;">Let's join Sandra at </span><a href="https://familycorner.blogspot.com/search/label/happy%20homemaker%20monday" style="font-family: Roboto;" target="_blank">Diary of a Stay at Home Mom</a><span style="color: #223654; font-family: Roboto;"> . </span></p><div><div><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTuW8Ut_c1X7f98d3YrJa9pJmOki9atfG2OUGljNTWgibN5_XUSg6ufEcfAaOplK4ux35zgi3V36ybOmRxv2efV2htwVbXJ4ro5-iOSEjLnYf0nsqh1q561mnaQykLix2H8ogOaiTsm0s/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-2Beq8CHGFMlIYVDE6OuwIhNN4fso_sfTOZ8dFgbSwaHE5-hkldQTHZFwk2xVHeM5FwKRAyOt3tMbA12s4mjp0gHW5s9UOhDUFbCEUq5xrAN5uqPKT4bpGtRkSikLZRjivmmj5Js-2Ka8tcrIYbXrB9MQ0K1SPhDUt9D0F2hKyfsWPlqnEKi6vsXCPl8/s500/HHMSPRING2024.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="334" data-original-width="500" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-2Beq8CHGFMlIYVDE6OuwIhNN4fso_sfTOZ8dFgbSwaHE5-hkldQTHZFwk2xVHeM5FwKRAyOt3tMbA12s4mjp0gHW5s9UOhDUFbCEUq5xrAN5uqPKT4bpGtRkSikLZRjivmmj5Js-2Ka8tcrIYbXrB9MQ0K1SPhDUt9D0F2hKyfsWPlqnEKi6vsXCPl8/s320/HHMSPRING2024.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; text-align: left;"><i style="color: #202124; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; text-wrap: nowrap;"><span style="font-family: Roboto;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #302a2a; font-size: 15.4px;">The Weather</span></span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; text-align: left;"><i style="color: #202124; font-weight: bold; text-wrap: nowrap;"><span style="font-family: Roboto;"><br /></span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #202124; font-family: Roboto;"><span style="text-wrap: nowrap;">Not much sun this week either..

Friday dh picked them up at daycare and they had supper here. DS came to help get them ready for ice-rink party from 6 to 8:00. DDIL met us there with her stepmom. It was a nice evening, not too cold. Xavier finally caught on how to skate when he saw a small friend do it and he skated for some time (usually it lasted about 2 minutes). He is doing good :) There were free marshmellows, cookies, grilled cheese sandwiches, hot-dogs, hot chocolate and chicken bouillon. There was also play-doh and coloring books and crayons in the sports center if they did not want to go outside. They did both and some sliding on tubes (small slide).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Saturday grandikds got here for lunch (with the dog who is losing ALOT of fur), then a 3 hour-nap! (wow they were tired) and spent evening here with us and sleptover as parents had an outing. We took them to McD's for supper. Xavier coughed most of the night and grinded his teeth alot. Anne-E had a slight fever on Saturday and also woke up to fever on Sunday. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Sudnay, DH went with Xavier to his swimming lessons (parents do not go into the pool anymore with his age group). DDIL came back to pick up anne-E for her swimming lesson (she goes in the pool with her) and they all had lunch here, spent the afternoon and supper. They left around 6:30.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">So you can guess that NOTHING got done here. Today is picking up. DH just left to pick up Anne-E as she still has a fever this morning. She will spend the day here.... deep-spring-cleaning will have to wait another week - a good thing I had started early.</span></p><p><span style="color: #223654; font-family: Roboto;">Let's join Sandra at </span><a href="https://familycorner.blogspot.com/search/label/happy%20homemaker%20monday" style="font-family: Roboto;" target="_blank">Diary of a Stay at Home Mom</a><span style="color: #223654;

font-family: Roboto;">Good morning </b></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Health: Eyes are still watering and a little itchy but antibiotics drops for 7 days are over so we'll see how it goes in the next few days. Gut is so-so depends on the days.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Grandchildren: Had supper & stayed to sleepover on Thursday night as parents worked in town and both had happy hours to go to. Friday they came over with parents for supper.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">We went to see my parents last weekend - was not in the plans as they had ice-fishing with sis and brothers but all was cancelled with warm temperatures and rain. I wanted to go soon so why not right away (and ddil asked us to babysit next Saturday which was the weekend I had in mind for going). Mom forgot who I was for a few minutes... asked me what I did for work and if I had children. When I named them she remembered and came back to the present. I had brought lunch. Sis and brothers all had supper with us and parents on Saturday so that was really nice. We got 4 bags of stuff out of the house over the weekend and all has been thrown away, given to thrift store or given away to those who wanted it). I did keep one small Christmas ornament and a Christmas vase.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">This morning is picking up and doing SOME stuff from the long to-do list I had over the weekend which did not get done and LOTS of laundry.</span></p><p><span style="color: #223654;

I had a mamo at 8:30, then costco errands and back home (stomache ache), we picked him up from his parents' house before noon as both were teleworking. DS picked him up here before supper.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Tuesday was in-town work for me, was awake at 4:00.. uggg.. my eye started to be red (caught Xavier's pinkeye from last week). Xavier spent the day with grandpa as he still had fever. DS picked up Anne-E and then came for Xavier, all 3 stayed for supper. DS also has pinkeye in one eye.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Wednesday, ddil went to hospital with Xavier (still had fever), so he has pneumonia and 2 ear infections - he is now on antibiotics. By then I had pinkeye in both eyes so dh went to pharmacy to pick up some antibiotic-cream for me. Had a meeting with financial advisor a few minutes at 10:00 - waiting for her to confirm the transactions... getting ready for income tax season. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Thursday Xavier spent day here as he still had fever (antibiotics should kick in soon). DH did some errands at grocery store with him. He picked up anne-E at daycare and both spent the night here.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Friday dh dropped them off Anne-E at daycare but Xavier still has a slight fever and wouldn't eat for breakfast so we kept him here. DH picked up Anne-E after daycare and both had supper here. Parents picked them up after supper to go to a friend's house.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Saturday was regular housechores and supper at restaurant with neighbors (Brasserie Italienne), not Cheap! but I had leftovers for the next day. I had the fondue parmesan, marsala veal cutelet and for desert lemon halves with lemon pudding in it and chantilly sauce with a sprinkling of maple nuggets and lemon marmelade.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Sunday was a lazy day...FB with dad, a little laundry, soup in the crockpot, made a few overnight oats, ... stomache is still off and my eyes are still bothering me with the pinkeye.</span></p><p><span style="color: #223654;

font-family: Roboto;">Good morning (posted on Sunday night)</b></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Last Monday we had grandkids for supper and stay over as parents were working in town early on Tuesday. Xavier's pinkeye is gone but he is coughing now. DS's old bedroom in the basement is all painted and got put back together (now I need to buy a bed and a bedcover).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Tuesday dh picked up grandkids for supper and they ended up staying over as ddil left work late (computer problems) and children were already asleep.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Wednesday at noon was doctor's appointment with results from tests last week</span></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Bloodwork is good BUT seems I have a predisposition for diabetes.. will have to monitor that.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Cholesterol is good with the pills I am taking since last time.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Urine test, had to stop by hospital and redo this afternoon as there was some blood (will get new results next week)</span></li><li><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Gained 3 lbs</span></li><li><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Had not yet received results from my ECG</span></li><li><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Gave me 2 more tests to do... (yucky stool and mammo). Got mammo scheduled for next Monday at 8:30 and other test is done - results next week</span></li></ul><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Thursday was my in-town work day as we had a meeting we HAD to attend. Too many people so had to be held at congress center (small walk but so cold we ended up taking a taxi to go, but I did come back on foot - it was downhill so easier). From 1:00 to 4:30 in straight-backed chairs yikes! DH had picked up grandkids and took care of their supper. got home at 5:15 almost at same time as parents coming to pick them up.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Friday was telework. DH has started painting second basement bedroom (dd's old room), yay! He also picked up groceries this morning, prescriptions and dropped off my test at hospital.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Saturday was some deep-cleaning of 'holes' around the house and dh did some painting in the basement. Bil's father died during the night - my sympathies to him & sis (he has no brothers or sisters). Kids went ice-skating in the afternoon and they all came over for supper. Pasta for the young ones and fondue for the rest of us.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Sunday was LOTS of regular housechores.

font-family: Roboto;">Good morning</b></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">So last Monday I ended up at the doctor's office who sent me to ophtalmic emergency at the hospital. They checked out my eye.. no retinal detachment and eye is ok, but I still have the floating bits and it will stay like that (vitreous detachment). Seems my eye and my brain will get used to it (may take up to a few months). :( Happens to 50% of people over 50. I will learn to live with it but it is a hard blow.. eyes are so precious.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Tuesday was in-town work, had a headache and a hardtime with computer screen. switched all backgrounds to dark grays, which is easier on my eye.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Wednesday was a snowstorm - so glad to be able to telework.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Thursday I had bloodwork and ECG (routine), then we had no electricity from 1:30 to 4:45 (someone had hit the electric pole so the whole town was out), so I couldn't telework - I puttered around. DH picked up grandkids from daycare. Xavier had pink eye but when they came back on Sunday his eye was clear. He had sniffles and earache on Sunday. Parents picked them up at 7:00. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Friday was telework and chatting Facetime with sis & bil in the evening. Seems both me and sis have cholesterol pills and she has pressure pills... me not yet but have to monitor it. Guess it's in the family.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Saturday was more snow but mostly winds..so another snowstorm. We have a few feet of snow now.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Sunday was mass for fil (payed by sil), then a whole lot of not much... 2 Christmas movies and I took out a puzzle to do. Grandkids & kids came by for supper. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Grandkids will be picked up from daycare by grandpa today for supper and to sleepover as parents need to be in town early tomorrow. DH will pick them up on Tuesday after daycare for supper here until parents get back.</span></p><p><span style="color: #223654; font-family: Roboto;">Let's join Sandra at </span><a href="https://familycorner.blogspot.com/search/label/happy%20homemaker%20monday" style="font-family: Roboto;" target="_blank">Diary of a Stay at Home Mom</a><span style="color: #223654;

I had made a batch of spaghetti sauce to take (mom doesn't cook anymore) and brought desserts from the freezer (so much was left from Christmas!) NY's Eve was at my sister's, low-key just us, them and my parents. My brothers had parties with friends but we got to see most everyone. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Dad took mom out of the house for a few hours on the 30th so we could go over their bedroom once again (she says things are disappearing in the house (true ;) ) so she stores everything in there. We did not go over everything but did the most problematic spots. We cleared out the equivalent of 5 big garbage bags (couldn't do more as garbage & recycling were full) ... of course a few things are now here.. sigh... Mom is getting a little worse everytime... so sad to see. I did manage to clean basement bathroom while she was busy elsewhere (she doesn't want us to help or do anything).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">We came back here on the 1st around 1:30 pm. Had supper at sil's with bil's sister and cousin.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Today we are picking up grandkids to spend the day & night. If parents want to come for supper I will make a small buffet of finger foods... missing that as we usually have one but none this year.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">My phrase for 2024: </span></p><p><span face="Montserrat, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif" style="background-color: #e7e4dd;

Then we babysat Friday night as both parents had seperate Office Christmas parties. DS picked them up Saturday morning for a children's bday party and they came back here afterwards. DDIL was working at a Christmas market on Sunday so we went to see her with the kids... they had lots of games set up for the children and a puppet show.. so we ended up staying there with them all afternoon. Came back home for supper and they left shortly afterwards. we went to sil's in the evening to chat.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Sunday was picking up around the house and supper with bil & sil at the pizza place.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Monday was planned but dh wanted to go to town so we ended up being most of the day. Had to bring soundbar (we just bought) to see what was wrong... seems it is the tv or the plug the problem not the soundbar... so we will have to test that. Had to pick it up on Tuesday. We did some errands... costco, walmart (got the grandkids some clothes to stay HERE), a few indoor sweaters for me, then sport experts to get me a pair of boots (have the exact same ones but they were starting to not keep the heat), etc...</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Tuesday was in-town for work, Christmas lunch with team and going to get the soundbar. Roads were slippery on the way back home!</span></p><p><span style="color: #223654; font-family: Roboto;">Let's join Sandra at </span><a href="https://familycorner.blogspot.com/search/label/happy%20homemaker%20monday" style="font-family: Roboto;" target="_blank">Diary of a Stay at Home Mom</a><span style="color: #223654; font-family: Roboto;"> . </span></p><div><div><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTuW8Ut_c1X7f98d3YrJa9pJmOki9atfG2OUGljNTWgibN5_XUSg6ufEcfAaOplK4ux35zgi3V36ybOmRxv2efV2htwVbXJ4ro5-iOSEjLnYf0nsqh1q561mnaQykLix2H8ogOaiTsm0s/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNsDJ76mr7LNz2f9O2bD-ptefOhhhJYa2vVm-SeBuIe_e4HVZEYrA3hlBXYHLwCpUf8kzPvP2wY9h1glLEUNIJGhaxgvM4pK5tc0IcWWY6y9tbcI0qlMKEghhF-rKsmF2qbKKi_uwejnTNGBoQuVglscY72CCevBTIS8M8Y7oG0SlwcNQYtiEhSsFHWBA/s639/HHM100322.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="426" data-original-width="639" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNsDJ76mr7LNz2f9O2bD-ptefOhhhJYa2vVm-SeBuIe_e4HVZEYrA3hlBXYHLwCpUf8kzPvP2wY9h1glLEUNIJGhaxgvM4pK5tc0IcWWY6y9tbcI0qlMKEghhF-rKsmF2qbKKi_uwejnTNGBoQuVglscY72CCevBTIS8M8Y7oG0SlwcNQYtiEhSsFHWBA/s320/HHM100322.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; text-align: left;"><i style="color: #202124; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; text-wrap: nowrap;"><span style="font-family: Roboto;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #302a2a; font-size: 15.4px;">The Weather</span></span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; text-align: left;"><i style="color: #202124; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; text-wrap: nowrap;"><span style="font-family: Roboto;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #302a2a; font-size: 15.4px;"><br /></span></span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #302a2a; font-family: Roboto;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15.4px; text-wrap: nowrap;">Days are still nice -5 to -1 and nights are colder -10 to -15.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #302a2a; font-family: Roboto;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15.4px; text-wrap: nowrap;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #302a2a; font-family: Roboto;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15.4px; text-wrap: nowrap;"><b><i>Looking around the house</i></b></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><g-img class="uW5pk" style="display: block; height: 48px; margin: 1px 4px 0px; width: 48px;"><span style="color: #302a2a; font-family: Roboto;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15.4px; text-wrap: nowrap;">Lots to do ...

I took wednesday afternoon off and we went to my sis's house (the airport is half an hour from there ... with no traffic). We had supper at my parent's house and slept at sis's because we were leaving at 8:00 the next morning.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">We arrived in Chicago at 2:00 pm on Thursday. Took the train to the Congress Hotel... an old hotel with lots of history (Al Capone is rumored to have slept there.. under a false name .. so no real proof), and ghosts. Had a quick supper and took a Uber to see the Black Hawk's hockey game.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Friday we walked 16km.. we did some parts of the riverwalk to visit the Pier and took the architectural boat ride on the Chicago river (it was cold even with our winter coats, hats & mitts) but well worth it. There was also a tree lighting - a first for us as there are none here so we decided to go there... mistake... so many people we were caught in the throng and could not even move or see anything... we got out of there as soon as a big guy opened up a small breech to move out... so no did not see the tree lighting but we saw it lit next day. We visited millenum park but the 'bean' is being repaired so could not approach it :( We went to Macy's to see the big Christmas tree in the Walnut room. Had supper at Lou Molnatis (recommended by our driver) ... it was ok but it would not be our favorite, but to each his own and it is very popular. We had half left over so we took the leftovers in two boxes and gave them to homeless people on our way out.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Saturday was another 16 km of walking. We started by going to see the Bears Stadium (closed but we walked around it), and went by the aquarium and Lake Michigan waterfront. Then we went down Michigan avenue, they were prepping for the Christmas parade.. no way we were getting caught in that throng, so we kept going and seeing the big fancy stores on the magnificent mile. We stopped to see the big Christmas tree in Bloomingdales. Then we decided to come back but a few streets parallel to the parade and guess what?! that was were all the parade cars where and the bands... no people... so we got to see most everything, behind the scenes! We also went to the Christmas market.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Had supper at Exchequer restaurant (recommended by hotel concierge), it was excellent. Then we finished night off at the hotel bar with a cup of tea.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Sunday was taking the train at 7:30 to the airport and then back to sis's house to get our car. We then went to see my brother as sil had to go to hospital on Thursday and had her gallbladder removed. Afterwards we went to my parent's house and got to see my other brother and 1 cousin. Sis was also there so we all had supper together. Got home at 9:30 last night.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">It was a nice vacation. I did had some stomache problems but luckily it happened at the right time each day (when we were at hotel). Chicago is a beautiful town with lots of parks and walkways. Problem is being able to go to a restroom (as in all big cities but this was worst . ... even McD's you had to present a receipt before they unlocked the doors). The pier had no restroom problems however. Lots of newly arrived immigrant women and children on the streets begging for money. One of our waiters at the hotel was from Columbia.. had been there for a year.. paying 900$ for a single room for him, his wife and baby and working 7 days a week.. he said he was finding it hard and learning english at the same time too.</span></p><p><span style="color: #223654;

Tuesday he went to daycare but they called in the afternoon as he had a slight fever (which means 24 hours before going readmitted to daycare).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Wednesday, dh picked him up to come here and drove Anne-E to daycare. Xavier even asked to go to bed by himself in the morning and slept over 1,5 hours but his general state wasn't so bad. When he went to bed dh started vomiting - I think he had the 24-hour flu... he was quite sick. So ds came to pick up xavier after his nap at noon (he did not want the flu in his house and I quite understand... I told dh you stay in the basement). so I spent some time disenfecting the house. He slept downstairs and Thursday he was ok, not top, but ok.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Friday dh had another little bout of vomiting but was fine afterwards. Saturday was housechores.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">We are babysitting (also the dog) from Sunday noon to Tuesday morning as parents are in a chalet but ddil is also sick... it'll give her some time to rest but not fun not being able to enjoy it. Took grandkids for burgers on Sunday night and went around the streets the show them Halloween decorations (not alot but those that decorate do it nicely). </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">The both had coughing fits in the night a few times. This morning dh just drove them to daycare... they got up later and we had to rush to get them ready (not used to that!).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">I have a 3:30 dentist appointment to change a filling and dh will pick up grandkids around 4:15 - 4:30 but won't be doing much today - did not sleep well.</span></p><p><span style="color: #223654;

Was a really balmy day so I went to the opening of the Geese Festival in town at night but had to come back as I had stomache ache. DH stayed to listen to the music (I could hear it from the patio). My younger brother Éric arrived around 9:00 pm with his daughter (15) and son (13). They went to meet DH and came back around 2:00 am.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Saturday ds, ddil and grandkids arrived around 10:30. My other brother, sil, her daughter, sis, bil, mom & dad arrived for lunch. We had gone to the festival in the morning so the kids could play on the big inflatable games. Had to have a quick lunch as the guys wanted to see the mechanical excavators ability competitions. I stayed here with sis while the grandkids napped. After their naps we went and met the others. My parents came back to rest a little on the patio in the afternoon. We all came back at the end of the afternoon and chatted outside on the patio. Supper was spaghetti sauce in the crockpot (which I had started in the morning), salad, garlic bread and sis had brought 2 apple pies (and I had some Costco banana/pecan bread and croissant donuts). In the evening my 2 brothers, sil and nieces & nephew went back to the festival for awhile. I think by 10:30 everyone was asleep.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Sunday (rain, rain, rain) my brother, sil and her daughter left around 10:00 (Breakfast was crêpes). Sis, bil and parents left after lunch (hot-dogs, fries and ham) around 2:00. Éric and the kids left around 4:00. DH went for supper with his sister & bil (pizza). I stayed here and had smoked salmon :) . we went to bed around 9:30 - we were tired.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Today is our Canadian Thanksgiving. Housechores this morning. Went to see the artisans at the festival - I bought a bracelet, 2 worry dolls for grandkids, some wash clothes for sis and some honey. Grankids arrived with ds & ddil while we were there. they played in inflatable games. Stopped here on their way home to get their car and have gone home so the kids could nap. DH is taking a nap this afternoon and I think I might start a painting tutorial.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;">It's suppose to be a nice hot day today so I plan on going out this afternoon.</span></p><p><span style="color: #223654;
