Happy Homemaker 2023-09-04

Goodmorning! Today is Labor day here in Canada so a holiday for most people (of course I already don't work Mondays so no change to me)

We had grandkids over for the weekend as parent's had a golf tournament on Saturday.  They slept over and left after their afternoon nap on Sunday. Next door neighbors also had their granddaughter so they played together and we all went out for hamburgers Saturday night.

Went to get some pizza for supper Sunday with sil and bil.

Front of the house is full of those ugly bugs (picture below) .. they don't bite but those suckers are dirtying all my windows and window sills... funny we are the only ones who have them.  Looked them up and it says larvae was in the grass... we did get front of the house new grass last year :(

Then last night took a walk... yuck, we saw at least 7 or 8 frogs... we never see frogs here... what is going on with those temperatures?

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

  2. Looks like a fun weekend with the grands! What is that Mickey card? Is it from a game? I'm so intrigued. I looove Christmas and I think it's great that you're already listening to Christmas Music. Have a good Labor Day!

    1. The mickey card is Christmas night at the movies. You watch the movie and there are ideas for food & fun to accompany it.

  3. Here the same issue with my phone and videos. I didn't have it before, but now it's happening consistently. I even deleted some apps. I thought, maybe it would make a difference.

    Nice photos.

  4. Your grandkids are adorable!!! I also love Mickey's once (and twice!) upon a Christmas we always watch it with the kiddos! We don't observe Halloween so our start-date to allow Christmas movies and music is October 31st lol. If we start any sooner I'm so tired of it! When we lived closer to the coast we had some bugs we called 'fuzzy bills' and they covered everything! I miss being closer to the ocean but the fuzzy bills, not so much! I hope you have a great week!
