Happy Homemaker 2024-05-20

Good morning

Work: slower week with 1 day in-town (Tuesday) followed by supper at Le Shaker with 7 other cw's (friends actually - 2 of them are retired, 1 is semi-retired and we don't all work in the same team).  was fun! lots of laughter.  

We had grandkids after daycare on Thursday and they slept here.

Saturday dh did some errands for the pool that was getting installed at ds' and I stayed here to do some cooking.  Xavier came back with grandpa before lunch and spent the rest of the day here with us.  We did go see the garage sale in town, nothing much since it was raining. I drove him home for supper as he wanted to see his cousin and the rest of ddil's family that was there (they slept there to help on Sunday too)

Sunday dh went with ds for more errands at the hardware store (dh has a trailer). Then we did housechores, worked outside (dh helped neighbor with installing his awning), chatted with neighbors and went for supper with neighbor and his wife, bil and sil.

Today should be an easy day as we have done alot of our outside work, inside just a few things to do and ds' family is going to town for ddil's 6 year old sister's bday.  Been up since 5:00... grrrr can never sleep late even though I try.

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