Happy Homemaker 2021-11-21

Good morning

Was a busy telework week but was a routine week for the house - which is good!

Saturday we decided to go to my daughter's (2 hours from here) and brought her her Christmas decorations.  We went shopping and picked up a few more things for the grandkids and bought dd some jeans and a coat (part of her Christmas gift).  Had lunch with her and then went to my uncle's house (2 uncles live near each other so we got to see both and my aunt and 1 cousin).  My sis and bil met us there too.  One uncle had not see for 3 years and the other 2.  Was very nice to have some family time to catch up and chat.  We had supper there and left at 8:00 pm.  Got home at 10 pm.

Sunday picked up both grandkids around 7:15 (we missed them!).  They spent the day with us.  My son & daughter-in law came for supper and left with the kids afterwards.

Monday is my catch-up day as nothing was done this weekend.  Tuesday have a physio appointment after work and Friday meet my boss in town for lunch.  will take the afternoon off afterwards to do more Christmas errands.

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