We’re still recovering from vacation…suitcases remain mostly packed, except for the essentials. Supper last night was frozen pizza. Tonight will probably be pasta with sauce, maybe peanut sauce, maybe tomato sauce. Depends on what I think the kids will actually eat. I should also do some laundry. And sort out the rest of the stuff we bought at IKEA. And wash our duvet cover because holy heck there’s a lot of cat hair on it!
I’m trying to get myself organized for our weekend – one of my cousins is getting hitched on Saturday, and then on Sunday we’re having a birthday celebration for my grandpa, who is going to be 85 years old. Although, I think I should say 85 years YOUNG because he’s got a repaired ticker and new eyes, so he’s good for another 20 years at least! It will be a lot of fun for the kids to hang out with that side of my family (my mom’s side) - we don’t get to see them all that often! The wedding and birthday party are back in the area where I grew up, so we’ll be driving out there, about 3 hours or so, on Saturday. I’m so glad that Monday is a holiday, so we don’t have to rush back on Sunday.
The kids both need haircuts. I need to find Ben something to wear to the wedding. I did find some shoes for Ella's dress this weekend, but I desperately wanted these instead. Gord will need to figure out what he’s going to wear. I need to call the kennel. I really hope that the finale of the Bachelorette recorded on the Tivo…uh-oh! Now I’m really wondering…
It's a good thing I got an extra shot in my coffee this morning!

Ottawa was…
A wee bit muggy.
A little bit busy.
Quite wet.
Sometimes quiet.
A lot of times loud.
And all fun!
Pics to come (though I did forget the camera a few times...)

Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Deja vu.
Why can't I ever get around to blogging???? Work has been insane - we've been a couple people down, and I've been covering for all of them! But we've filled those positions, and now I'm on vacation for a week! Wahoo!
We're off to Ottawa tomorrow morning, bright and early. We can not wait to see the K and the G and the R and the F! Gord's friends Garth and Jill had a baby boy back in March, so we get to meet him. And Liz, another of Gord's friends, who lives in Cambridge Ontario, is also visiting in Ottawa, so we get to see her too! It's going to be a fun-filled week, for sure. Lots of cousin time! Lots of friend time! Some sightseeing, probably some IKEA shopping, and definitely a beaver tail!
I won't promise to post while we're there, but I'll be taking lots of pictures! I'll post some when we get back.
