Happy Homemaker 2020-01-20

Morning!
Last week was regular 4-day work week.  
The weekend was super cold - brrrr

We went back to Cap-de-la-Madeleine to help assemble more IKEA furniture for my daughter and put up her new shower rod and curtains.  Left at 7:00 and back by 3:15.  Daughter-in-law and grandbaby Xavier got here 15 minutes after us (with Zach the dog).  My son had an activity with his coworkers at his boss's cabin.  He came home around midnight and they decided to sleep here.

Sunday the kids spent the day as my son had a hockey game at 2:30 and daughter-in-law had yoga at 4:00.  They left after supper around 7:30.

So I had lots of baby hugging over the weeknd.


Let's join Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom .
