So happy belated Canada Day, how did you spend it? Did you celebrate even if you were in the USA? no? Ok well Happy Belated 4th of July? How did you spend that one? no didn't? you were in Canada? ah I see...
So on with the Random...
Come on join the Rebellion.
The unmom is still on a break. (anyone else notice just how long this Break is going on?)
Stacy of course has it covered.
Julie is also in on the rebellion, She's working and blogging. SEEEEEE Keely? hehe
I'm next. I have to find me some work. Anyone got a job they want to hand me? Or buy more AvON? hint hint. Today is order day for me.
Today the boys are playing with the camera. I have some Canada Day pics and some 4th of July pics on my Camera, but someone (not the kids or me) Drained the battery. Oh it also wasn't the cat that did it...
Friday we Celebrated, we went out to a midway, got some midway food, and I think I actually saw a girl I used to work with in Ottawa. It took me about 4hours to remember where I knew her from.
The Midway was a mix of Fun and interesting. I enjoyed the people watching. The kids enjoyed the rides. I didn't get on any. I saw how they were put together.
My flower gardens are coming up Fabulous this year. I did some selective cutting back this year. I took out the Edge Hog and Zipped and Zapped down those spots that weren't quite as nice last year. I also put some boys to work this spring removing the dead from last year. Wow the difference.
The food of the weekend? was a bit overboard. There was a Cheesecake involved. I had to mention that because Julie says she's never had Cheese cake. This one of those "easy" recipes that I have been making since I was 12.
1 1/2 cup Graham Crumbs,
1/4 cup icing sugar
1/4 cup melted Butter/margerine. SMoosh it down after it's all mixed and wet into the pan, this is your crust (9X13pan)
next step Mix up Dream Whip with the blender, 1 package,
1 8oz pack of cream cheese,
1/2cup icing sugar (you can use less if you want it less sweet)
Whip all that together.
Top layer, Can of Cherry Pie Filling spread all out. Done~ put it in the fridge with foil cover until you need it. I usually make it 8-12ish hours in advance. Oh also Don't forget to grease the pan. I forgot this, it was a bit hard to lift out.
Oh and we also did fireworks Friday night. We drove to another town to see theirs, and saw our town's 12minute version on the way home.
Sunday we hit the beach for the first time this season. Great weather and I mostly did the people watching, snack wrangling and holding down of the blanket. The kids and Hubbie got in the River. (yeah cold) My ankles were the early warning sign to stay out of the water. All boys survived. YAY!! also Locals? Stop swearing and smoking around kids. It's not healthy for anyone. And your vulgar rendition of "Oh Lord it's hard to Be Humble..." was plain stupid. Also Alcohol not allowed on the beach. It says on the sign. Why must everyone think the rules are for everyone else?
Monday... work as usual. We did light up some Sparklers last night for the older boys benefit. They are my American Made children.
