I’m all alone and was still up at 6:30. I walked down to Starbucks for coffee and wi-fi, and I saw a beautiful sunrise, so it’s not all bad. I’m going to explore around a bit before heading back home. If you're coming back through the peace Arch, I highly recommend stopping at the duty free store just before the border, it's super nice and good liquor prices.

I just finished booking Maui for February and now the countdown is on! Can't wait. Ooh that sounds so fun! Hawaii is at least a 22 hr flight for us, so I'm not going to be experiencing it for a long time.

My kid has become such a rockstar sleeper lately. He slept well while camping, napped when he could while being carried around out and about and hiking, slept in the car on the way home and transferred to the crib, then slept until 7:45 this morning. After 15 months of struggling with his sleep, he has become everything I’ve dreamed of. That must be such a good feeling! Enjoy it- it could stay this way for a long time

I keep thinking it is just a phase and keep expecting him to go back to his old ways. He’s been so fun and pleasant too, or maybe it just feels that way now that we are all sleeping better.

Lol I just took a nap and I’m going to take the kids in a bit to head to my mom’s for her birthday. I’m not getting much of anything done today. Calling it now. 😂

Both DS and I took a nap! I think we both needed it. It’s so fall like here that a nap was the way to go. I think I’ll make some cookies this afternoon.

DS and I went and got our nails done this morning. It's chilly today so we're just hanging in the house. DS is playing Mine Craft and I'm watching the Pats game. I have no idea what DH is doing.

truckerhat I’m surprised you’re house hunting! It doesn’t seem like it’s been that long since you did all those renos. I think with the boys getting bigger and having friends over, we've realized we feel kind of cramped. We don't have much yard space to make up for it either. My H was like "we can kiss that $XXXk we spent on upgrades goodbye". Yeah, that kind of burns. I'll be sad to leave this neighborhood though. At least with the upgrades your house should sell pretty quickly! It’s worth it to move for more space though. I love living in a large house. I’ve never understood people that are like “oh x-amount of sq ft would just be too much!” Nope, I can hide from people when I want to, at least temporarily. And when we have other kids over it’s not super intrusive.

The baby was almost asleep then some lady knocked on the door and the dog barked. MH took DS to town so I was looking forward to relaxing.😒

We’re having a chill rainy day at home. I switched out my closet and packed away summer clothes and put out sweaters. I was also ruthless and have 2 sacs for donation

Hawaii is at least a 22 hr flight for us, so I'm not going to be experiencing it for a long time. Fair enough. But you do have about a million awesome places closer to you than here in your favour. Weekend in the Azores? Sure! Skiing in the alps? Ok!

I made broccoli, potato & cheese tater tots. It’s my first time, so we shall see if they turn out. I have taquitos and samosas if not.
Football eating is the best.

Trying to get kids to pick up legos so we can go to my mom’s for her birthday. She made chili and today is a perfect day for it.

I’m jealous of the chili weather some of you have. It’s still hot here! Boys were drenched with sweat after 45 minutes outside this morning.

DS is quietly playing LEGO and I’m watching 27 Dresses for the millionth time while eating all the saltine chocolate toffee amazingness that jabbers gave me. Good Sunday so far
