| waiting for the whipped cream! |
we had a wonderful road trip this weekend. we got to relax, enjoy the sunshine, visit with good friends and family and most fun - hang out in a lovely back yard. i cannot even begin to tell you how nice it is to let your kids play in a yard. living in a condo really, really makes you miss the little things like opening a door and letting the kids run wild in a backyard. ours loved it. in and out, in and out...they couldn't get enough of the freedom poor things..lol. we had a short trip but we made the most of what time we had. we're back to reality now though...laundry, unpacking and studying/work. needless to say we are already counting down till the next one :) here's a few peeks from our wee weekend getaway.

| mmmmmm! yummy! |
and best of all the hubs passed his latest exam so we are feeling more
than happy about that! one less weight lifted off of our little
shoulders. we celebrated...me more so than others.. i'm hoping to be reunited with my sewing machine this week!
i miss poppy the pfaff so much :) she doesn't know why i'm mad at
her...lol. i'm hoping that i'll be able to do a bit a day again to work
back up to sitting i my chair and sewing again. in the meantime i'm
knitting and knitting some more. what a shocker right? muahaha...
....i'm also sitting in my sweltering hot condo filled with the plants and decor off my deck so the side of our building can be painted. i'm choking on the overwhelming scent of cilantro..for'reals...i can't breathe...lol. can't open the windows either and to make things worse the painters aren't even hot...c'mon give a girl a break dude...couldn't i have just a bit of ryan gosling....or channing tatum? just a wee bit? spice up my day??? a little six pack action out my window??? please? purdy please? oh and if you are my hubby don't read this post...muhahaa.
how was your weekend? any of you loving the skinny girl coktails too? i'm a big fan of bethenny frankel's and have been enjoying her ever since the real housewives of new york (yes, i watch those shows and no i do not feel one ounce of guilt over it...lol). do you like her new show? did you get to eat some s'mores this summer yet? come chat :)
p.s. all pics via instagram. you can follow me under luvinthemommyhood :)
The job search has been pretty sucky but as always, knitting helps!
ReplyDeletethe kids have a play area on our compound but it's definitely not the same as having our own yard...
As you know by now, I cast on my first pair of socks and finding it just as addicting as everyone else! I'm using Felici yarn and when you get around to using yours you will see how great it is! loving it!
xoxoxo
Having a backyard is definitively wonderful. We used to live in an apartment in Montreal with a tiny yard but when we decided to buy something, we had no hesitation to go to the suburb on the south shore of the saint lawrence river to have a backyard for our future children to enjoy! I am not pregnant with our first. Even if we are just adults in the house right now, we enjoy it very much too! I wish a backyard in your future my dear!
ReplyDeleteSince reading your blog, I always wondered, what is your husband studying?
Have a wonderful day! I love your blog, its so incredibly inspiring!
It looks like you guys had a great weekend! We bought s'mores stuff to barbecue at a house I'm watching. I'm excited! I'm really glad I'm not the only one who watches Real Housewives. :)
ReplyDeleteOooops! I meant I am now pregnant with our firts baby!
