Morning!
DH went and got donuts and now we're going to tackle the garage; it's a 3-car so one bay has become a catch-all since the move. DH bought a new work/tool bench and a bunch of hooks, shelving, etc. to get stuff off the floor.
My sister and nephew are coming over tonight for dinner (BIL is on call).

Morning!
Our city rec crew was supposed to do a 'Water Wars' today where they visited different neighborhoods and had water fights with families/kids. They were supposed to be in our neighborhood at 2. But its raining, for the first time in forever, so i don't know if they'll still do it.
Only plans this weekend is the dish guy coming tomorrow to see why our service is shifty and install the Hopper. Ive been using a discontinued box for years so we are finally uograding.

Seriously the best pasta ever... my h made it for me when we just started dating. It is not his favourite, but it is mine, so he makes it when he knows i need a little pick me up . www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/pasta-recipes/taglierini-with-a-simple-sweet-tomato-sauce-and-shrimps/We cheat a little by getting plum tomatoes from a can, adding wine in stead of cognac (because way back when we had student budget) and I like bigger prawns better. ETA seriously it is the best fresh feeling luxurious summer dish, sprinkle some freshly grated Parmesan on top and bob’s your uncle;).

Not sure what's on the agenda today. Maybe go to a park we haven't been to in a while and have a picnic.

We had planned a block party with our beach neighbors but it’s raining so moving it to tomorrow. We will go shopping. I just received T’s supply list for school and I found a travel soccer team that needed a player for DD since ours canceled so I have to go get her new cleats. Nothing for T yet though but he doesn’t want to play without his friends anyway. I may look at some of the karate schools so he has something to do, there are a bunch really close to us.

Good morning! It is super dreary and rainy here. I’m baking that canned pumpkin/spice cake mix recipe in a Bundt pan and the kids are going to watch the Dora live action movie.

Okay I’m eating alone tonight. What should I eat...? Sushi or Greek food, and a pint of ice cream I’m counting down the days to sushi and Greek is one of my favourites! I settled on a true croque monsieur (fancier grilled cheese on nice bread with bechamel on top) and a caramel sundae for desert.

My sister and BIL live walking distance to an amazing downtown area so I took the big two over there this morning and we walked and got crepes and coffee and then went to the farmers market. I stayed at their house for screwdrivers after. It was so nice, especially since I've needed time away from MH because we are having major issues. I may post on the private board but keep hesitating because I know a lot of old posters still have access.

I’m the car on the way to vacation. S lost his first tooth this morning so we packed it up to being lol.
B has been doing great with peeing but we decided to put a pull up in for the drive. A little while ago we were stuck in traffic and he started crying saying he had to go. We pulled over and he went on the side of the road! Very excited!

Sorry wineallthetime. Should we create a new board password so that anyone who’s not here currently can’t get in or has to get the password to get in if/when they come back?

Hello. jewels Yay for progress with B! wineallthetime I’m sorry. Whenever you are ready we are here for you. nam2013 Yum! We’ve been lazing around the house. I need to clean the floors and do some laundry. M spent yesterday afternoon at his BFFs house and when I picked him up, his mom mentioned maybe meeting us at the park today. I’m just waiting to hear from her if we will actually go. If she texts me, cool, if not, No problem. We don’t really have plans and M will see him next week for his birthday.

I went to a social distancing bridal shower today with my SIL & MIL. They did a great job. Now I’m continuing my wine drinking at my in laws’ house waiting for MH to bring the kids over to swim.
I finished the piano last night. Just waiting on the last piece to dry to put it back together. I need to find a rug to put underneath it because MH is concerned about the wheels damaging the wood.

Idk if i checked in today?? A got started on the deck at 7am. He just came in to shower. He's made a ton of progress. We've just been riding the golf cart and hanging out. The boys swam for 3 hours. That pool is the best money we've spent. They're resting now because we have a teeball game at 6. I think both fell asleep. I'll wake them 15 minutes before we leave and throw them in their uniforms and go.

Just got home from dropping my kid off at my mom's. She had to put her dog down this week and was really excited to have Cadence over for a distraction.
Now I'm.sprawled out in the couch which is probably where I'll be for the rest of this weekend.

klong11 sorry about your moms dog. It's so hard to lose a pet. Yes, she knew it was coming, but it was still so hard for her. She had just turned 13 and my mom has owned her since she was a tiny puppy.
