One Week Down

Well, the first week has gone by rather quickly, and with minimal fuss. Kevin will be home by this time next Friday. Gotta think of some things for us to do during the next week.

Busy Week

It's been busy around here this week. On Monday, our chimney was demolished and then rebuilt(it looks awesome), on Tuesday Kevin went away for 10 days for work, yesterday mil came over to get her hair cut, and it was garbage day. Not sure what we're gonna do for the rest of the week, but I think we're just going to take it easy, maybe make another trip to the grocery store when we need something, but other than that, just try to relax.

Yard Sale Score!

We were headed out to the grocery store to pick up a quick snack, then off to the park with the kids when we came across a yard sale with quite a lot of kids toys. We missed out on a really cool LittleTykes train set(an older couple bought it for when the grandkids visit, I think), but got a huge Mega Bloks dump truck with a digging arm, a bunch more Mega Bloks, and the wheelchair for the Little People School Bus(along with another Sonya Lee) for $3. The cool part is that we got the School Bus at this same house earlier in the summer on the "Give Away Days" here in Ottawa. I got the dump truck cleaned up, but still have to give the Mega Bloks a good once over, probably in the tub, since some of them are pretty dirty. I think Aidan is almost in love with the truck :)

Halfway There!!

I finished the first pedicure sock today! At a size 5/6 it seems so small in comparison to my feet. I modified the pattern a teeny bit in that I didn't sew the hole for the big toe, b/c I thought that that might actually work out better(and b/c when I held it up to my own foot for comparison, I was concerned about putting it in the wrong spot)

All Clear for September

Got a call from my ob's office to let me know that I don't need to get poked anymore since my hcg levels are down to 3 as of last night's draw. Yahoo!!! She said that the doctor is advising that we wait until after my first regular period to start ttc again. I mentioned that, oddly enough, I was just finishing up my first one now. She wasn't sure what to say to that, but advised that we wait until after the next one, which should be September, and wished us luck.

Our Weekend

We had a busy weekend, even though it seems as though not a whole lot got done. I got up early on Saturday morning to get to the grocery store before my pedicure appointment so I would have enough time to walk to my appointment, and get my groceries done(along with finding a copy of Breaking Dawn for a good price). On my way back from my pedicure, I went to Carlingwood mall to poke around for a bit, and managed to find a sculpture to memorialize Taylor and Ashley.

We got to have a simple dinner with our neighbours' family on Sunday evening, which was really nice. The kids played together in our yard where all the toys are(under the watchful eye of Kevin), while the rest of us chatted.

Yesterday was tidy-up day around the house, and Kevin found the onesie I'd bought for Canada Day next year. It was a hard thing for me to see, knowing that the one it was intended for will never wear it.

Fish Sitting

Kevin called to check and see if it was okay if we fish sat for his friend's son's betta while they're away this weekend. We just have to find the right spot where it'll be safe from both curious kids and cats.
