Happy Homemaker 2023-12-13

Hello, Hello! so late in posting this week

This week is a back to normal, after covid, week.  

Last week grandkids came for supper on Thursday for Xavier's bday.  Then we babysat Friday night as both parents had seperate Office Christmas parties.  DS picked them up Saturday morning for a children's bday party and they came back here afterwards.  DDIL was working at a Christmas market on Sunday so we went to see her with the kids... they had lots of games set up for the children and a puppet show.. so we ended up staying there with them all afternoon.  Came back home for supper and they left shortly afterwards.  we went to sil's in the evening to chat.

Sunday was picking up around the house and supper with bil & sil at the pizza place.

Monday was planned but dh wanted to go to town so we ended up being most of the day.  Had to bring soundbar (we just bought) to see what was wrong... seems it is the tv or the plug the problem not the soundbar... so we will have to test that.  Had to pick it up on Tuesday.  We did some errands... costco, walmart (got the grandkids some clothes to stay HERE), a few indoor sweaters for me, then sport experts to get me a pair of boots (have the exact same ones but they were starting to not keep the heat), etc...

Tuesday was in-town for work, Christmas lunch with team and going to get the soundbar.  Roads were slippery on the way back home!

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