What I'm reminiscing about...
Various last days of school. E's last day is today. The last month of school was always so fun, lots of games outside, fun worksheets, and when we were in high school, a lot of nothing at all.
Grads of '99! This was 17 years ago!! #iamold
What I'm loving...
Our watering system for our garden. We can be pretty good at keeping things watered but when we would go away for the weekend, our plants would take a hit and a week away would just about finish them off. We used it at our old house but didn't get it set up here until this year. It's just one less thing to worry about and we are happy with it.
What we've been up to...
Getting ready for camping. I kept our list from last year of what to bring and what we made to eat. No need to try and reinvent the wheel. We will be enjoying lots of our old favourites (see here and here).
What I'm dreading...
Not too much, but I do know that the next three months are going to fly by so I need to work hard to get everything ready for the new baby - fixing up the room, cleaning clothes, organizing my clients/work while I'm on mat leave, and choosing a name!).
What I'm working on...
Dave is working on finishing up the basement. We bought a few things at Homesense the other day so now that the guest room is complete, we have put the bed in and start setting it up for guests. I am not an interior designer so it is somewhat challenging to put together things that look nice without spending a fortune.
A little sneak peak of the guest room.
What I'm excited about...
E's summer camps that he will be attending this year. There are a few a High Park that seem really neat and I think he will enjoy them.
What I'm watching/reading...
We finished up Game of Thrones on the weekend (best season ever!), and we've started on Bloodline. We want to watch Homeland too, although I'm confused about what season we are on.
I'm reading a new book that Dave got me for my birthday, The Night Stages by Jane Urquhart. I'm only a few chapters in, but it seems good so far.
What I'm listening to...
So many birds outside in our yard. I love them but they can be loud and they start chirping before 5:00 am!!
What I'm wearing...
Lots of comfy summer clothes. I have a small rotation of maternity clothes but they seem to be working out so far. I can always change things up with jewellery.
What I'm doing this weekend...
Camping in Algonquin Park. We did this same trip last year and had a blast (despite being rained out of our tent one night).
What I'm looking forward to next month...
Hosting book club, a visit from my friend Cindy, our week off to enjoy our city.
Last year's visit to Centre Island
What else is new...
New playground by the Sunnyside Pavilion and splash pad at High Park. We hit up the splash pad on the weekend and on Monday night, Dave and E went swimming at Sunnyside after supper and then checked out the new play structures.
What is your favourite July 4th Canada Day tradition and/or recipe...
We put out some flags in our planters this week and I picked up some sparklers to enjoy on Friday night at our campsite. We don't do too much for Canada Day, just drink a few beers (I'll have to forgot about that this year) and enjoy ourselves.
Thanks for checking in with me today!
