Last nights run...

Last nights run was a good one despite the heat....Susannah and Laurence came with me and we ran in the opposite direction tothe way we normally go.....we then came home and got our bikes and headed off for a cycle ride.....we weren't gone long when Susie got a flat tyre...so Laurie rode back with her and saw her to the driveway and then headed back to me.....we cycled all along our road....straight across at the crossroads and round all the twisty lanes to the Hwy.......there are Mountain bluebirds down there that fly back and forth in front of you...just beautiful!

After a week of injury and recovery it is so nice to have something to write in my runners journal each evening again! Its frustrating to be back to square one, but feels so good to be back out there!

Mid day...

I voted last night on the finals of the Iron Chef contest at Scrappershaven.ca Two contestants were up against each other (the original winner against a design team member) and we had to give them marks for each of their pieces (layout, card, altered item)

Lloyd sat with me and helped me judge them.....the winner will be announced shortly :)

Its almost mid day.....all votes had to be in by mid day today....

I have now washed the floors, done all the laundry, vacuumed out the mudroom and put all the shoes away properly......next is the washing up which I can do while watching the Hummingbird on the feeder (hopefully)

We do have a dishwasher but I would rather wash the dishes and put them away than load and unload the dishwasher...I actually quite enjoy washing dishes - it's thinking time!

Abigail and Sam are playing 'dogs'...basically running about barking and finding 'bones'.....they seem to be enjoying it lol! They want to go outside and play but I told them after lunch - i really need to get the indoors tidy before we go out and play!

My chicken is defrosted....we are having chicken casserole tonight....I love that with air conditioning the house is cool so I can cook inside :)

Oh the 'dogs' have gone downstairs to play :) PEACE :)

Monday morning ramblings.....

Its just gone 10am on a sunny and warm Monday morning...I think its going to be 26c today...which is nice.....by 8am it was 19c........I must admit though I am quite looking forward to the next few days which are supposed to be cooler...I wnat to ccatch up on some housework and bake some cupcakes.....I have so many eggs to use up....I think I will do a lot of baking while the weather is cool and wet and we can freeze some of it for when its hot again...

So far today I have sorted 3 loads of clean laundry and put it away...I ahve cleaned my bathroom, vacuumed the main floor and tidied it.....sorted the dirty laundry ready to put the machines on.....

I need to wash the floors although part of me thinks 'why bother'.....during the summer my floors seem to be CONSTANTLY covered in sand and sticky drips of juice......and those sticky spots then seem to collect fluff and bits from everyones socks and then my floors are covered in grey spots! I can wash them and then an hour later those sticky juice spots and the sand everywhere is BACK!!!!

To be honest the floors needed washing on Friday but I figured with the weekend here there was no point as the floors would be covered from the kids going in and out...and Lloyd ahs a habit of walking in and taking his shoes off in the family room! So he gets sand everywhere too and then Sam of course is typically two and it wouldn't enter his head to take off his shoes before running inside.....

And the shoe pile by the front door has started again .......I remmeber posting about it last year! The kids all know they are supposed to use the mud room door to go in and out but it is the front door that gets used......so by the front door there is always a pile of shoes and an equally large pile of sand

Sigh...............

I was going to go to the splash park today to make the most of the last hot day for a few days but the kids are tired from being outside for days on end and I think they just want a day off - so they are flopped in front of the tv easting goldfish. Yes, at 10am! But they've had weetabix and they've each had a bowl of raspberries and so I figure some goldfish is fine :)

Mmmm the rapsberries are soooo good - Lloyd brought two punnets home yesterday because they are on special at sobeys....the children eat them like candies :) I had a lot in my yoghurt last night :) Yummy :) I can't wait for our raspberries to be ready in the garden...and the strawberries :)

Well, I need to put the laundry in the machines and wash the floors, collect the eggs and top up the animals water.....I can't let the chickens out until Lloyd gets home because we need to add more netting to the corn patch in the garden....yesterday I caught a chicken in there and she had eaten 3 of my corn plants :(

The Hummingbird is loving the feeder outside of the kitchen window, but we have not seen one hummer on the feeder at the front......thats strange.....hopefully all the plants I potted up yesterday will attract more to them.......
