What'd up?

Its Wednesday already!

Parents came up this past weekend to celebrate all the bdays/anniversary's that are all in July/Aug.
They were rerouted on the drive up and had no idea why but we saw this on Facebook the next day and this was why.



A few went golfing on Friday and Twin 1's hubby wasn't home in time to start cooking for supper so Twin 1 and sister wi figured out how to turn the BBQ on and cook.  Good thing Twin 2's hubby showed up before she shut the BBQ off cause she would have shut it off wrong.  They have directions to turn it on but none to shut it off.  Also she lots a veggie burger down in the BBQ but it all turned out ok.



Twin 1's hubby and Dad went out to look for cars for her as to what she thought but they came home with this!  New to us Truck.  We love it.  Twin 1 drove it last night over to Twin 2's and its so smooth compared to the vechiles they had.  Twin 1 still has her old beater but needs to figure out what she is doing come Sept when the inspection is up.



Hope you all have a great weekend.  This Saturday morning is DIMETIME!

Wha'd up?

It's already Wednesday! Almost time for the weekend again :-)

We hope you all had a great Canada Day.  ours was pretty low key.

At Twin 1's work they had a contest for most patrotic on Friday before the long weekend and Twin 1 won!


And this is what she won....ICE CREAM CAKE!!!! (It roughly feeds 25 people)

 
We don't usually do too much on Canada day but Twin 1 and her peeps took advance of the FREE Canada Day breakfast that the community puts on at the legion.  They got there when it started and they made them all stand and sing O Canada.  Fitting to start off the day and weekend. Breakfast was delish!
 


Next they went to Tims to wait out the down pour and then went down to Citidel Hill to tour around as they have never been there/not been there in a long time.

This is the posse.


Then they just went home and relaxed for the rest of the day.  Some neighbours stopped by for some ice cream cake and there is still some left in the freezer.

Wha'd up

Twin 1 looked after some puppies this past weekend.  Pearls brother from the same litter plus their younger sister. 


When Pete gets tired he sucks on his blanket and falls asleep.  We think this is an anxiety thing. But better then chewing like Pearl and Penny do.


Pete and Penny


Sunday afternoon they were tuckered out after the weekend and walk at Point Pleasant.


Pete is a big sook and loves to sit on your lap.


Great Outdoors!! BEST BUG SPRAY EVER! and protects from Ticks as well.


Twin 2 took Twin 1 and the boys golfing last Thursday.  IT. WAS. FREEZING. but we had fun.



BIL Rob got some cuddles from Onyx

Wha'd up?

We've been having some sunny weather lately....not "hot" but at least the sun is shining.

The dogs have certainly been enjoying it.





Also, we've been on a "new plan" for the past month and we have been making spinach egg bakes and turkey bacon. Twin 1 was in charge of making breakfast this week and she did her math incorrectly and ended up making too much Turkey Bacon.....

That's a lot of turkey bacon


With the better weather, we've been trying to get out running at least two days a week.  We haven't been consistent but we'll get there.  We've been running with CF and we've been alternating between close to her house and out by ours.  We're still on the walk 1/run 1 but with consistency comes  moving up the runs.

Proof we went on one run at least....


Also, we finally took out our bikes and went for a ride first thing Sunday morning.  It's was misty and chilly and looked like it could rain any minute but it was nice to finally be out on them.  Last year we did the Kids Ride for Cancer and raised funds for that but this year we opted out.  Maybe we'll do it again next year.

Thursday is ladies night at Brunello so we're trying to get registered for that but registration is Monday's and Twin 2 called Monday morning and they were booked up already so we'll have to call first thing at like 6 am (or whenever the first tee off is), as soon as the club house opens to get in.  We're on a waiting list....whatever that means? lol

Wha'd Up?

This past weekend was the Labour Day long weekend.  Twin 2 had some company from PE Island and Twin 1 went down home for the weekend  We'll recap Twin 2's weekend.

Thursday
Both Twin 1 and Twin 2 took the day off as the weather forecast was calling for 30 degree temps and sunny all around.  Twin 1 went over to Twin 2’s and we laid out just for a few hours.  We didn’t want to overdue it being our first time in the sun/heat.  It certainly didn’t look like Mexico but it felt like it.  Thursday evening Twin 2 and her husband went golfing for their first round this summer.  They didn’t realize how bad the bugs were but luckily the person they were paired with gave them a bit of bug spray so they could make it through the night.  Bug spray will be bought for the next round.

Friday
Friday evening Twin 2 had her BFF from college and her two kids come over from PE Island.  They arrived around 7:30 pm so there was a lot of catching up to do as it has been around 8 months since they last seen each other.

Saturday
Twin 2 and Flo took the kids down to Oaklawn Farm Zoo.  We arrived around 12:30 pm and stayed for a few hours.  It was a beautiful day but the wind sure was chilly.  On the way down to the zoo we took Highway 101 and had no problem finding it.  On the way back however, our GPS took us through the back roads of NS and ended up in Chester and onto the 103.  That was quite the adventure.  Once we finally made our way back home we took a trip to Costco and then back home for supper and a fire.  Initially there was a fire ban on for the weekend but on Saturday it was lifted so we could burn between 7 pm and 8 am, which was great because it filled up our evening and entertained the kids.

Sunday
Sunday morning Flo and the kids took off back home and Twin 2 had a little peace and quiet.  Later on in the day Twin 2 and Sista Wi went out for groceries and Twin 2 did some meal prep for herself and Twin 1 (Twin 1 was down home in NH so Twin 2 did the groceries and meals for the week for them both). 

Monday
Monday was a lazy day and even though it was nice out Twin 2 sat and watched Life in Pieces all day on Netflix and cooked a roast. 

All in all, a great weekend.  The weather is finally starting to turn around and spring/summer is in the air!
