Fantastic Friday

Aside from the fact that it is freezing out... It's Friday! When I say freezing I mean like 5 degrees! 

Last night I went to Mikes ball game in the freezing cold and rain! I was keeping score so my hands were frigid!! Fan of the year! Mike bribed me with ice cream after!! It was good even though I was cold!! 

Weekend Plans: 

- baseball tonight

- 1 photo shoot! My first cake smash. 

- Nicole and Mike are coming for dinner

- planting our planters with veggies and fruit

- hopefully M's last Saturday to work until fall

It's going to busy, but I can't wait!! 

                    

Happy weekend friends!! 

Carrie's Bachlorette

We ended up celebrating Carrie's bachlorette now, instead of closer to the wedding because her sister is moving to BC tomorrow. So we were quick to come up with a plan.

What I wore:

My first high-low skirt finally made it debut!!!

And the feather necklace my sister made for me! Love it!

 

Unfortunately my plans to curl my hair went out the window.. literally! It was sooo humid my hair was not functioning. I had to gel it down to tame it!

 

We hit up The Vibe Spa in Mississauga (Toronto area for those who are not familiar with Mississauga). We were there for 4-5 hours snacking, drinking wine and indulging in spa services!

 

I enjoyed my first pedi of the year!!

 

 

I even changed up my go-to-colors and went with an orange!

 

The bride-to-be and I:

 

And our pedi-products:

 

We had a potluck dinner and each took turns decorating inappropriate cupcakes! What is a bachlorette without inappropriate cupcakes? We told her she got off easy with no male strippers!

 

It was great hanging out my bestie, since I rarely get to see her anymore with her living up north. Now I can't wait for our vacay so we can go visit her up there and hopefully get in some camping!

May 24!

Wow what a great weekend!!

Friday night was baseball... They did well, until they found out the score and fell apart right after and experienced their first loss of the season!! After the game we had a bonfire! Oh how I miss those all year round!! Soo relaxing!!

                       

Saturday M had to work, so Binx and I cuddled up and watched The Notebook! Believe it or not this is the first time I had watched t! It was great!! 

                        

When M got home we popped into town to grab some supplies for cherry cheesecake! Instead of our traditional photo I thought we would have fun with it, I was making a funny face too but was too busy laughing at M's! 

                       

We had dinner at M & J's and then had a bonfire sipping on Somersby! Might just be my favorite summer drink this year!!

                       

Sunday we were up early and off to the lake! 

                                

It was super bright out and hazy!! But a perfect day it was!! The new gazebo was put up and M installed new floors in the hut! The boat wasn't in the water yet, but hopefully soon!! 

A sweet little goose family came to visit!! The littlest one was my fav!! Soo small compared to the rest!! 

                   

And the dogs were busy! 

                   

We had dinner at the Turkey Point Hotel and headed home! The girls were pooched and snuggling in the back!

                 

 

Yesterday M had to work, so I got some housework done around the house! It was super hot out! no complaints!! We got a thunderstorm last night and Binx was going bonkers. Just screeching all evening. I heard this weird scraping noise from what I thought was the rain hitting the screen door, so I went to check on it and sure enough I saw this bat crawling out from behind the picture!! I freaked!! 

                   

Binx was trying to climb the wall and continued her vocal abilities! I yelled at Mike to get up here fast and he assumed it was nothing but heard the fear in my voice and ran upstairs (he was in the basement). I made him take the picture and pass me Binx and we went and hid in the bedroom. M said it was easy to catch it and he let it back outside!! Creepy!! I was creeped out all night!! 

I figure it got in via our laundry! We left it on the line overnight on Friday night because it wasn't dry yet and then it rained Saturday morning. M fixed my car and then took the clothes off the line for me and obviously didn't shake them out! 

I'm hoping the bat is good luck! We had one at wedding reception too!! 

Today I'm off to Costco before we run out of toilet paper! I might have to hit up Target too!! 

Shoes Shoes and more Shoes!!

The long weekend has arrived!!! 

Today I was supposed to o meet my sister in town to pick up my shoes that we ordered together, but instead I'm blogging now instead of later! My car battery is dead!! Soo annoying!!! So my awesome MIL is going to meet them instead!! 

Life just doesn't go as planned!!! 

Anyways, I will put all of my frustrations aside for the time being. Last night I took the dogs into M's ball game! It was a bit better than last weeks... A bit!! Maybe Gracie's face can explain it...

                   

    

She was a bit disappointed... And soo serious! 

After the game we stopped at the bank to deposit Mike's cheques and sure enough a new ice cream joint opened up!! Time To Chill is the name and it was amazing!! Soo many flavours to choose from including my Favorite!! High Roller!! I also tried a caramel caribou trail!

                 

I'm sure this will become our new weekly stop!! Makes watching this team more worth while!! 

I also think I need to share the shoes that I'm awaiting!! 

                                  

                             

                          

                     

My feet are soo incredibly picky and sensitive!! Blisters form at the site of new shoes... My sister highly recommended the first 3, so we will see!! 

Hope everyone has a great weekend!! Stay safe!! 

    

    

Currently...

I am reading: The Memory Keeper's Daughter.... I am only on page 52... hopefully I will get back to it now!

Listening to:

Missy Higgins - Where I Stood

 

and

Even If It Breaks Your Heart by Eli Young Band:

 

 

 

Thinking About: Editing the pictures I took on the weekend. Or suntanning!

 

Loving: That the long weekend is here!! The weather. My family and friends

 

Drinking: Somersby Ciders, M&M Peach Juice and loving water lately!

 

Watching: Chicago Fire, bummed with the series finale of 90210, Grey's Anatomy, I started watching the original 90210 on netflix, and The Voice.

 

Missing: The kids!! It was soo much fun to have them around!!

 

 

 

And the dogs miss Hannah too!!!

(Gracie managed to get on my duvet.... little bum!)

 

 

Need to: Do some sewing and figure out what to bake for heading to the lake on Sunday!! I also need to figure out outfits I can wear that will hide this bruising.... the weather is warm - not long sleeve and pant weather now! No complaints though!

 

Cooking: It's BBQ season!! So I am really just making a lot of salads, pasta salads, different ways to make potatoes and baking!

 

Yesterday the dogs loved those peanut butter banana cookies!! I'm not sure if they like them cooked more or just the dough!!

 

Very Grateful: For the little things in life. The smiles, the hand holding, the late night chats with my husband. The snuggles with my pets. Since that man went missing, it's makes you realize how short life can be and that even though you may not like where you are this life stage, you have your husband, your family, your pets and your friends! Makes you hold on to them a little tighter during times like these!

 

 

 

Looking Forward To: These bruises being gone so I can sleep on my right side again!! The long weekend and some lake time, although the boat isn't in the water yet. Just being down there is soo relaxing!! Oh and the weather is supposed to actually be nice on a May 24! That never happens!

 

Creating: some more sewing projects!!

 

Planning: on putting the pool up in the back yard... we have finally come to an agreement. Putting up the kitchen back splash!
