Date night :)

I just got through cutting almost all of the gras at the front...its gorgeous weather and the children were on the trampoline etc so we were all outside enjoying the weather - I may get a paddling pool tonight.

Its date night tonight......Lloyd is on his way home...the childrens dinner is ready for them to have when they are hungry.....Sam is asleep on my big chair after being outside for much of the day (yes the mosquitoes are bad this year but they don't stop you doing anything......we still sunbathe, play outside, drink and eat outside...walk around and get on with life outside - this is for my Mum and Dad and sister who seem to think Canada is being taken over by killer bugs or something lol!)

So...farmers market, home depot and Wok Box....that seems to be our main plans for tonight - its more of an errand night than date night but its just the two of us....time together......and its still nice and fun and I'm looking forward to it :)

Oh and Val if you read this - it was great to see you this morning...thank you for completely ignoring my grouchy and difficult two year old! Thank you for ignoring my 6 year old when she announced loudly that it was time to go! I had fun as always despite the chaos my children created lol......oh and isn't Grace (our waitress) just so so wonderful - she is so great with the children which makes everything so much easier......and shockingly Sam wasn't high as a kite on sugar all day - he did just fine :) See you next week :)

Off to shower now and get ready to go out :)

Have a great evening everyone.

Susan!

I like your recent post. Couldn't agree more.....Can't comment on your blog grrrrr but I still read :)

Outhouse????? NO!!!!!!!!

Danica and my Sister Clare asked if this little white 'hut' is an outhouse......mmmmmm well it stands by the entrance to our property......it has a light inside and a window.......it can be heated when necessary........

Hmmm so what is it??????


Actually no it isn't an outhouse lol Danica you will soon be seeing a lot these little sheds by driveways...most acreages have them! They are actually little bus shelters! The yellow school buses pick the children up at the end of the driveway for school each morning.....in summer that is fine, but in Winter it can be -35c in the wind and is very dark.....so these bus shelters are for the children to wait in for the bus!!! Ours is a very nice one - I love it - I'd like to stencil plants growing up it....or maybe have a window box on it.....some acreages have nasty old scruffy things, but I think ours is really attractive :)

Wednesday plans....

I'm off to breakfast in a short while to meet Val :) I didn't think I could make Thursday so we planned for today instead....Abigail is excited because she gets to come with us this time......normally she is at preschool.

Tonight is date night but instead of 'datenight' it will be an evening just Lloyd and I......but we are going to Home Depot to get some wood for the vegetable garden (if we don't make little fences around the vegetable patches, Charlie rolls in the soil thinking it is a mudbath just for her!!) so we have to do that but we will then grab supper at the Wok Box (I still haven't tried it!!) and hopefully find time in between to go to the farmers market as I want some potatoes to grow....often the ones from the grocery store are treated with something to stop them growing roots....so I want organic ones from the farmers market - maybe finger potatoes...or otherwise just little new potatoes......my Dad grows his potatoes in buckets.....a layering technique that works well....but I am going to grow mine in half barrel tubs...those half barrels that are for flowers normally......I am hoping I will find a nice hanging basket at the farers market too......all the ones at Aspen Ridge had sold out on Sunday.....and mine has to have red in it for the Hummingirds....

The children overslept this morning.......late nights all round...Lloyd and I didn't get to sleep much before midnight either and he had to get up at 5am poor thing.....luckily the children made it to the bus stop with time to spare.....

Gorgeous weather again today 24c and they say today will be the coolest of the next 5!!!!!! Laurie is camping out on Friday night at his friends house (the twins) so he is excited about that.....Chris is invited to a sleepover birthday party Friday night too......so Susie will have a friend sleep here and we will have to delay our trip to WEM again!!! Abigail also has a birthday party to go to on Saturday.....a little girl from preschool.

Well I am sat here not dressed, and with only an hour until I have to leave.....so I have to get going!

Bye for now :)
