What I'm reminiscing about...
After the wedding we attended this weekend, I was reminiscing about the other family weddings we attended with this side of the family. We've traveled from East to West and most of us have been to them all.
What I'm loving...
We have had very hot days this week and I do love it. I know it will be cold soon, and although that has its own benefits, I do love the heat and am soaking it all in while I can.
What we've been up to...
Spending lots of time with family and friends and enjoying the last days of summer vacation.
What I'm dreading...
Carrying Q around the campground. The Pinery is great but the walk from the campsite to the beach is long and through the woods and sand dunes and I just know we will be carrying Q a lot.
What I'm working on...
Planning everything. I have several Google Docs on the go right now - camping, our back to school BBQ, and Q's birthday.
What I'm excited about...
Our trip to Disney in October. I think we have a lot figured out but we will still be collecting tips and reading about the whole experience up to then. We are also trying to introduce more Disney characters to Q so he'll know who they are when we are there.
What I'm watching/reading...
We are still working on Homeland, I want to catch up on Bachelor in Paradise and Ballers, and we are watching Amazing Race Canada. We also watch a lot of Anthony Bourdain.
I just finished The Marriage Pact, and it was very good. A thriller and not something I usually read, but I would recommend it. I have a gift card for Chapters so I may pick up Crazy Rich Asians to read next, rather than wait for it from the library.
What I'm listening to...
Currently all of the news about the trade negotiations.
What I'm wearing...
Shorts and tank tops. And for work - skirts and sleeveless tops (which is basically the same thing).
What I'm doing this weekend...
Camping at the Pinery. We have done this the past two years and it is always fun.
What I'm looking forward to next month...
School starting, our BBQ with some neighbours, E's appearance in the all-star soccer game, Bloor West Ukrainian Festival, and Q's 2nd birthday! Is it possible September is busier than the summer?
What else is new...
Instead of saying "Yes" or "Yeah" for an affirmative answer, Q responds with "nah", which can be confusing. His "no" is very clear though, so we can tell the difference, but I usually have to think about it. Example: "Do you want some ice cream?" "Nah." *takes ice cream* "Can I have it back now?" "No no no."
What is your favourite back to school tradition?
I love walking E to and from school on the first day. Since he attends the before and after school program, we are usually just dropping off and picking up on our way to work and are always in a rush. On this day we get to be there when the bell rings so we can see the other kids and parents, and meet the teacher. On the way home we get to hear about E's day during the walk.
