Just a Monday

Today we lounged around and got some house work done.. not the stuff that you see however, but the real stuff that just gets put off all off the time… going through the kids drawers and taking out what doesn’t fit anymore, finding all the shoes mates, unclogging the kids bathtub drain etc… then I went out and bought a present for myself/the family that we have been wanting for a while (an outdoor fireplace) After supper and while the kids where in the bath I assembled it and it is really nice… I can’t wait to try it out and roast some marshmallows in my backyard…

Weekend up North…

Over the weekend we went up North to our Cabin and had a great time… Really our Cabin is my Uncle’s Sugar Shack that we use in the summer as a Cabin but it is a great place to hang out and be alone…
We got there Saturday afternoon and got installed, then went to a friends house, went out for supper, made a big fire, roasted marshmallows, got the kids to bed, watched the stars and talked… In the morning we got up early had coffee and toast but mad on the gas stove and then headed out to a flea market that is on the way home… We got a few things there and then headed back to the ferry to take us hoime and to our swimming pool…
Here are a few pics that I took over the weekend…
