Summer of DOOM!!!

Yay! The summer of traveling is over! It’s been a busy summer with a trip to Fredericton for the whole family, a trip to North Andover for J and I, and a trip on the train for monster and I followed by J and I going to an awesome wedding in Mississauga. J and I are on lock down for the next three weeks for the weekends. We aren’t going anywhere or doing anything with anyone. This should hopefully recharge us and get us ready for the next rush of busy.

I’m back on plan with WW again. With all the trips it was too hard to keep track of anything so I said it was a break and gained 12 lbs. I’m happy to be back on the wagon and it’s going well. Working out took a bit of a hit as I strained the tendons connecting the knee-cap to the quad muscle. It’s getting better but is still really stiff and sore.

As of this weekend we have been in our house for three years. Still love it! Lots of projects were completed this year. A new front door, new front porch, a new master bedroom window, the master bathroom was renovated with all new hardware, new toilet, painting and cleaning. It’s been expensive but lots of necessary things that come with owning a house.

The Monster goes back to school on Tuesday. It’s the big transition from Sr. Kindergarten to Grade 1. He is more then a little bit apprehensive, but that is to be expected with something this big. All his supplies are bought and his back pack is ready to go. We have also registered him for an all boys jr. hip hop class with the local dance school. We have struggled finding an activity for him that is local, reasonable hours, and something that he likes. Ever since he killed the skating idea he has been begging for “dance” lessons. I am not going to put him in ballet. I refuse. I don’t need him beaten to a bloody pulp at school.

Other then that, things are pretty great. Everyone is healthy and happy. Christmas will be here before you know it!
