Happy Homemaker 2024-05-06

Good morning

Saturday was housechores and it is finally getting warmer outside so we have started some of the yard work.  We went to restaurant for supper and then visited dh's cousin and his wife in the evening.

Sunday we started more outside work until grandkids arrived to spend the day.  Parents joined us in the afternoon and they all had supper here.

Today is more outside work (with some inside housechores)... hoping to find a few minutes to read outside in the sun.  Picking up grankdis from daycare later this afternoon as ds has gone to Toronto for work (he will be back Wednesday around 6:00 pm) and ddil is working in town today and will be getting back too late to pick them up.

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




The Weather
Today is 18C with a little rain now and then.  Tomorrow is sunny with same temps but then it goes down to 11C and 13C for the rest of the week, one sunny day, one rainy day .. all week.


Looking around the house
Since I am writing this in the afternoon it is ok now as I have picked up.  
Thinking and pondering
Big weekend coming up... Brother's 50th bday .. we will be going to my parent's house and sleeping there Saturday after the restaurant.
DD's boyfriend should be putting up his outside summer kitchen so we have to stop there on our way to help out and Sunday again to help out.... it will be a very tiring weekend, not much time to see my parents.

  2. You are always a busy bee! I love that about the jack-in-a-box and the can of biscuits. I wasn't afraid, but my mom was! She always had me open them for her! Have a wonderful week ahead.
