Do you have a park district you can call and see if they have a room available inside? I’d even try a YMCA or gym. We thought about our gym, but I know a couple of the kids could only come by for a short time anyway, so it would be a big shift to a more formal setup. Also, very last minute which I hate

That's so disappointing, rugger. Could you postpone one week? Or maybe change the plan to going to a movie theatre or something else indoors? We all talked this morning and decided to postpone a month. We leave for a long vacation next week, so shifting by a week isn't possible. I'm sure a few kids won't be able to make the new date, but it is what it is, I guess.

Our city is selling trees for a really good price to encourage more planting. They are selling in groups of two, two different types of tree. I was debating between two packages and then when I finally decided, the one I wanted was sold out! So I ended up getting a package of Prairie sky Poplar plus Swedish aspen. I'm going to plant them along our fence in the backyard to get some privacy from our neighbours on one side.
I also got a pin Cherry tree for the front yard. We have quite a few trees already but I'm excited for more.

This is, quite possibly, the longest week ever.

Scored a punching bag for $20 yesterday at a garage sale.
I love finding odd buys at garage sales.

Our outside tap was leaking so we got a quote from a plumber to replace it with a hot/cold tap (MH has this idea that it would be nice to have access to warm water outside). The quote was $935!!! One of our neighbours is a plumber so we asked him what he thought, and he said that was outrageous and that he could do it for $150. So he's supposed to be coming by today sometime to do that.

I just made my first post in the Politics board supporting the free school meals for all kids. It was nerve-wracking to post somewhere besides here and the slow as molasses Homeschool board!

I'm back!!
Vacation was great, and we got back late Tuesday night, then picked up Loren from training on Wednesday. It's been a bit hectic lol
Best part of coming back night have been the two Misfits Market boxes waiting on our porch. Fresh produce and meat and dairy products ready to be unpacked the mirror we got home was pretty amazing. No stress on Wed morning over rushing to the store. Highly recommend if you're coming home to an empty fridge/pantry

Imperfect had me so annoyed at their lack of accountability for damaged and missing items. Plus the day a Jeep backed into my drive way to drop off my 3 day late box. 😒
I really wish misfits would start delivery on other days then Monday.

We used to have Thurs or Monday options, and switched it to Tuesday once they offered it

I’ve wondered about her a few times (especially when there was a mass shooting in her area a while back). I’ve figured that she was taking a break, since there are posters on this board who know her personally and likely would have checked in via other means. But I don’t know for sure.

I like to assume tj is living her absolute best life and is just far too glamorous for us

PO.TUS is in town this weekend and my friend and her boys just got a picture with him this morning... my jealousy is so strong right now- we were going to go to the beach this morning and decided to have a quiet day home with the dogs instead. We could have finally met him! Arghhh!

I've been absent but I LOVE TAJIN. There I said it. It's fantastic on margarita rims or just licking it off your hand. Try it. You're welcome.

I found a sweater at Old Navy that will be perfect for R's Halloween costume. It was on sale (the whole site was having a big sale) but I was nowhere near free shipping with the one item, so naturally, I had to spend another $75 in clothes for the kids JUST so I could snag that free shipping 🤣😬. But also, they were really good deals!

Along with biker shorts, tank tops, a dress, 2 swim suits and a top. 🤷🏻♀️

Guys I made a pair of pants for my costume! It’s my first pair of pants! And I drafted the pattern from a pair of joggers I like. And they fit really well! That is all. I am just really excited that I created something that actually fits and looks like I wanted.

We have officially sold our house and moved into a rv on my grandma’s property full time. We our helping maintain her house and property and watch after her. She is 91 and no longer wanted to live by herself. She loves having the kids around and we like being in the country with some space to breathe. Now, with the money from the house we can finally pay off some debt and be able to put money back into savings. It was bittersweet selling our house but, I’m looking forward to the next chapter in our lives. Eventually, her property will pass to us when she passes so, we won’t be moving again in the future.

Well, we had an exhausting weekend, but yesterday, we officially signed a contract for a new build house! It's right across from their school, and though it doesn't have the land we were originally looking for, I think it'll be a great fit. Now to spend the next year prepping, budgeting, and getting out current house ready to rent!
