Happy Homemaker 2021-07-06

 Hello,

Last week we went to my parent's house for our vacations - stayed 4 days.  Nice to reconnect with family.  My son and family came too - they went to some indoor games with Xavier.  I went to the store with dniece (13) and bought her a book and 2 purses (2nd one was $1 with 1st buy) and gave the equivalent to dnephew (11). Me & Sis did some purging while mom was out too. A very hot week.

Got back home, unpacked, did laundry, vac'd main floor, cleaned main bathroom (did not have time before we left).  Dh's cousin and girlfriend came to chat one evening.  we also visited one evening with some friends of dh.  We had the grandkids while ds and ddil played golf on Friday.

Sunday afternoon did errands (rainy day) costco and IKEA, followed by supper at the local pizza place with sil & bil.

This week we will be staying at home - Monday afternoon my brother and girlfriend will be here and staying for supper (maybe overnight too?) - tuesday we will have Anne-E while the kids go to the waterpark with Xavier. Wednesday they want to go play golf so we will have the grandkids.

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