Hello All,
I hope you've had a good weekend. It was the Labour day weekend here so yesterday was a holiday and no work was done. In fact we did very little at all the whole weekend.
Saturday I had books to return to the library but none of my holds were ready so no pickups. The girls and I then went to the dollar stores near our house for a mosey around. There was nothing we really needed but it's a good place to go when you feel the urge to buy something as it might not cost you too much. We actually have two different ones right across a parking lot from each other so we hit them both up. A few things I needed, a few bits for Halloween, and some candy for the kids and we were done. We managed to not bring home anything unnecessary beyond yet one more notebook for me. I love stationery and a fresh pad of paper is only second to a glorious new pen.
Sunday I went and got groceries with Bear. It was supposed to be Bug's turn to come but she decided against it. We went to one of the two stores that are not mandating masks as I needed to get some prescriptions. I shop at 4 different stores and really don't care for one over the other. I'll happily wear a mask and while it is hot and a bit itchy after a while it's not that big of a deal. I honestly can't understand the people who don't get why they can help prevent the spread and say it's not required. For the rest of the day we didn't do much else.
Monday it was cool outside but we persevered and got the carrots harvested. It's not like we had a huge plot to work, it was two 5 foot rows. The girls helped me and we got them all in and prepped. We had a couple of odd growers so that made the kids day. We had one that twisted around another one and one that was a "boy" carrot. Giggles were barely contained from Hubs and I as they proudly showed it off to Grandma and Uncle in a video chat. Let's see if I can load the image below, I've never tried to add a picture on here yet. Ah! It worked! A boy carrot for all to see :)
The rest of Monday was spent watching Iron Man and starting Iron Man 2. Hubs and I have decided to watch the Marvel Cinematic Universe in movie chronological order, not when they were released but when they happened in the time line. We've only just begun but want to make it our Saturday night time together. Obviously we've messed that up by watching on Monday but we'll go back. Only 20-some more movies to go. I've seen most of them but he hasn't so it's crazy to watch and know what is going to happen and have things have more meaning because you know what is coming. I sobbed my way through the end of Captain America because of what is shown but mostly because I know what is coming and how wonderful/sad that is. I'm a crier anyways in movies, I can cry in all of them The girls watched the live action Beauty and the Beast yesterday and I cried when all the objects fell silent, even knowing they live in about the next ten minutes. I can't help it, I'm a sensitive soul lol.
Today is back to work and it's light on meetings, so that is good. I'm also almost caught up on emails so as long as they stay down I should have a good week.
Tomorrow is back to school for the girls so I have some time booked off for that as I think it will be a little more hectic than normal. We finally got an email from Bug's teacher. There had been some confusion from him typing my email address wrong and me not getting it and then him thinking that we were good to go because Bear's teacher had spoken (emailed) to me. I ended up emailing the secretary of the school (who is fantastic) and she sent that off to him and in the end it's all fine, just confusing as we didn't know who her teacher was going to be so didn't know where to take her in the morning. I'm sure we'd have figured it all out though either way. Bear is so excited she can't stop talking and writing about it. There must be 10 little notes laying around the house saying "I love school, school now!" I hope she keeps that enthusiasm. She really wants to learn how to read like her sister and since Bug figured it out about half way though the 1st grade she is sure she will too. I have high hopes it can be done, she has the same teacher and also is starting now to recognize words and read a bit so she's on the right path.
Well I see I've got a handful of messages to respond to so I'd best get those done! Have a good day!
