um, Friday

Its Friday. 7 days since I last posted. I week of some great memories, some stress, and now a peaceful night at home, just me and wee ones.

We are in the middle of this,

oh it will be worth it!

And I am not luving it. Its messing, dusty, I have lost my kitchen, and the end is nowhere  in sight. Although the man of the house thinks fishing next weekend is a great idea.....and a lengthy discussion about getting the kitchen to a point of function first was had, and priorities were reviewed. So, he will go fishing, and the kitchen will be at the point of function. And maybe even pretty for Christmas! (a fresh coat of paint goes along way!)

It will be worth it. In the end, with a peninsula, and breakfast bar, cabinets, and a dishwasher...it will be worth it. Some day in the future...off in February, or March?

So as Goran began demo last weekend we went for a sleep over where the children, played with friends, ran outside, slept with the kitty, and sewed fun animals. Me - I chatted for hours with a very dear friend, ate great food, and had a nap. Oh it was glorious. All of it.

I got kitty cuddles too!

We have raked mountains of leaves in the yard, and wait for the last leaves to fall to finish the job.

sandals in November!

 

the baby wanted to help too!

I emptied the compost bin on the garden and my dad came and tilled my garden. The littles watched and luved it! Bryan watched Paka unload the tiller and start the tiller, and would and walked behind him had we let him!

oh, i luv my Dad so much!

they luv their Paka so much. this - they will never forget!

We have fallen into a weekly routine, after a slow start this fall, which involves fun for everyone!

ballet - the girls luv it! (leg stretching exercises!)

library in PJ's for story time, its a hit!

 

And now as this week draws to a close, I look forward to big progress on the kitchen, fresh clean laundry, and a visit with another dear friend, I don't see enough, and miss so dearly!
