DS got up early and so we've already watched a ridiculous amount of TV.
Also, I ran out of my coconut flavored coffee creamer and I can't buy more until Monday because of my no spend week!
The suffering is real guys.

It's pouring out and we have flood warnings. DH and I spent all morning loading construction debris into his car and are now on the way to the dump to get rid of it. We are soaked. It's awful. Not sure what we'll do for the rest of the day.

I took DS to the farmers market this morning. He's so excited to make black currant jam with me! We loaded up on other farm goodies too.
We're taking Maisie to the vet for her check up and then home to make a red, white and blue dessert to take to my dad's. SO is working today which is a bummer. His shifts are tough! But, it's been a good day so far!
Happy Canada day to any of the Canadians among us!

I cannot believe its July already! Only three more weeks till we have summer holidays over here and I have no idea how I'm going to entertain DD for 6 weeks, at least we are going away for one of those. She started to make playdate friends at school so I'm hoping a few of those are also around during the holidays.

Happy weekend, welcome to July everyone! Not possible; no way is it July already! I must be in denial because I keep forgetting this is a holiday weekend, that the 4th is on Tuesday, etc. Every time I see something that reminds me of those facts, I am surprised all over again.

Hi we were at a friend BBQ today most of our friends have 2-3 kids I can't not imagine. I am so exhausted just keeping up with one. I hope everyone is having a great weekend.

We visited MIL in the hospital yesterday, and I need to finish DH's meal prep today. B and I will be going down again on Monday after I pick him up for school. It's going to be a busy week.

We're relaxing today. Yesterday we went swimming and out to eat with friends. It still feels weird to have people we connect with. This week is a break for dd's camp and all other programs. I'll have to find things for her to occupy time. On the bright side, only 6 more weeks until first grade!

All before the weekend everyone has been referencing the 'holiday' & I have just been like 'say what now?' Lol It's still not computing even though we went to see fireworks last night

Hi people. We've been busy. I'm tired. So glad Dh has a 4 day weekend. Yesterday we did the home depot kids workshop & some shopping & then got our patio set completely finished. Looks so good & really fills the deck. I no longer feel like the deck is "too big." Lmao we also picked up a new umbrella that hangs over the table that's a cool upgrade. They had the price tag wrong aka lower than it really was & so we got a sweet deal on it besides it being on sale. Just listed our old set so hopefully we can sell that & get back some $. After all that, we went to another town about 15 minutes away's fireworks show. They were having some kind of big town birthday celebration so their show was fanceh. Even better than last year. I'm glad we went even though I started the night with a mild migraine.

csho I do "can" it in mason jars. I use the really little ones. So cute and we have fresh jam for all kinds of things- cakes, toast, on ice cream, etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We hiked today! DS was able to hike the entire 5 miles with us and it was pretty tough terrain. He's getting to be so outdoorsy like us!

We're having our pretty much first ever dinner on our new deck & now new patio set soon. DH is grilling & it's such a beautiful evening. Not too hot & there's such a nice breeze. It's just what we planned when we started this crazy plan, to have it all done for 4th of July weekend. 🙌

DH is grilling fish tonight. He has to work tomorrow so it'll be a quiet evening and probably early to bed.

csho canning is actually really easy. I sterilize the jars, rings and lids and then boil on the stove in a big pot of water. I boil them until the jam is ready and then fill the hot hard. I put the hot jars back into the pot for 20 minutes to boil. Once the come out I put on a cooling rack and listen to the pops that tell you they're sealed. There's a recipe on the jar of pectin and on the mason jar case. You should try it! It's so much fun (and I'm starting to sound super old 😮 and boring). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello! Happy holiday weekend!
I ran five miles this morning. Well, partly ran. It was kind of a mess. Then we went to the mall for a little bit. I got a couple of shirts for my son on sale at Hanna Andersen. I love their clothes but am too cheap to pay full price. We had lunch at Moe's, which my son seems to think is owned by Mo Willems 😂
I think tomorrow we are going to see Despicable Me 3.

I am exhausted. My toddler has been acting very toddler-ish all weekend. We were on the go most of the day yesterday between gymnastics and visiting FIL, and today has been a mix of trying to keep DS happy while also trying to get things done around the house we haven't had time to lately. And some hanging out poolside, by which I mean we set up this monster DS got for his birthday: And yes, that's him throwing a fit in the pool. After begging forever to "blow up pool," when he finally got to go in it, I don't know what went wrong, but he flipped out. Luckily, we were able to convince him that this would be fun and all that effort turned into a happy child... until it was time to get out.
