Happy Homemaker 2023-06-05

Good morning

Wednesday was dh's 67th birthday so he picked up grandkids for supper and they spent the night.  DH drove them to daycare next morning.

Thursday was to be a picnic with grandkids, ds & ddil but storms during the day so we went to McD's and followed it up by going to see ds play baseball.  It was a nice evening (no rain in the evening).

Friday was a day off for me (had worked on Monday which is usually my day off), did not even go to see emails, I need a break.  Did housechores and rested.

Saturday was a local race.  DH was working as volonteer.  I did housechores then cheered the runners outside when they passed - had my bluetooth speaker out with 'we are the champions' playing.  Then I went to the center of our town to see the festivities.  DDIL came with grandkids so they could play in the airblown games.  They came back here for lunch and left for their nap at home.  She was going to see her stepmom with them for supper, but her stepmom's boyfriend had a scooter? (trotinette) accident and broke his shoulder, they had to call ambulance as he passed out.  We had supper here and dh wanted to go out (I didn't but I know he needs to go out sometimes as he is retired), so we were debating what to do when ds called (he had a golf tournament in the afternoon, followed by supper & evening), he had a spare ticket for supper... so dh went to that and we were both happy ;)

Sunday was a more relaxed day, some picking up and then a nap in the afternoon.  We had sooo much North wind during the weekend.. it was fall-like temperatures.

Today I might go look at work emails (will deduct my time from tomorrow), and I'd like to craft a little.  

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