Friday Fill-ins, Happy Father's Day Weekend Dads!!

2. __I went to the store didn't get my strawberries, because the man was putting them away at 9pm. If I can't see them? I can't buy them___, it was as simple as that.

Random Tuesday Thoughts, Wednesday?
I woke up this morning and thought for sure it was Wednesday, I then saw the garbage in the driveway and the Random Tuesday Blog posts! so it MUST be Tuesday. If you're ever puzzled on a Tuesday, just head over to Keely's and you'll know exactly what day it is, well if it's Tuesday.Yep just clicked it myself, there she is Tuesday!
So of course I'm back from Vacation and you can tell vacation is over for sure... Laundry, yep! dishes, yep, garbage day, Cat is clingy, yep! We're home.
Critter count this Critter Count comes from the Island. The boys were at the cottage and running after bunnies with carrots because Grandpa-da said "if you catch one you can keep it" Well you never saw 5 boys and 1 girl run so fast holding carrots. Then I hear "well the bunny didn't want the carrots so I ate it" AWESOME!!! we have vegetable eating... Go Bunnies.
BBQ's are great, and you know the food taste even better when your brother is doing all the cooking. He did a wonderful job. Yummy! Chicken Burgers, hotdogs, Sausages, steak and I think I even saw some cheese on Sausages? nothing says getting fat like BBQing Every piece of Meat you can find... Bunny was smart enough to run away from the BBQ.
Cowboy hats! are an awesome investment. I bought one for AJ for a birthday party that was a Cowboy theme, and he's been wearing it ever since. NO sunburns on his face! it's the perfect size.
Chocolate did not make an appearance in my vacation. I know right? what's a vacation without chocolate but well I made up for it in Thick Molasses cookies with cream cheese frosting, Carmel cream cheese dip and granny smith apples, Burgers, island Pizza, and there may have been a huge tray of nachos... I totally should have asked them to box half of that up. oops! TJ did give me a hand with the nachos that were not covered in Jalapenos. hehe
Tea. I did Miss my daily tea, there was tea, but I had a tendency to raid the molasses cookies instead of the tea pot, or the tea needed a partner? oops! I'm expecting a 3lb gane this week for the altar of truth.
Brothers trapped in a car for 7+hours? Can make a lot of noise and annoy the poop out of each other easily! "MOM! he's making a noise." =" Put on your mp3 and headphones and the noise will go away" "MOM! he's kicking my seat" ="so pretend it's a Rollercoaster cause here comes a HILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL" yes the island roads are a bit roller coasterish at times, complete with missing rails also known as pot holes and missing areas of pavement.
Did I mention the Island pizza? yummy!
Did I mention beaches? oh wait you need pics... hang on...oh only 110 on this card. there were 116 on the new card.
Boys on the shore one of the wonders of the world Salt Lakes.

| Big Pond...isn't it! |
And The Largest Fiddle in the World? Or so I'm told. There is another large Fiddle not far from my home here but this one is about 3 times bigger I think.
The Fiddle plays a large part in the Musical Culture of the island, as well as the Bagpipes, Guitars, Drums, and I think one night I heard the Harmonica coming from a neighbours Garage.
I'll keep hunting up more pictures for another post. There was another Beach in there but we left the camera in the car, but you saw the River last summer right? Yeah you saw that? August I think last year...
Happy Random Tuesday... oh AJ survived the other Atlantic Ocean beach... like this...

I'm Back!
I've returned from my island. I'm not burned to a crisp, I'm relaxed, and I'm not melted. I may though melt today. Here it's now 24C with a forcast of 26C, ahhhhhh heat!
While on the island we visited 4 beaches, 4 playgrounds and many relatives. The boys had a great time sleeping at the inlaws overnight. We should have headed for the cottage for some alone time but all the sights and sounds were in the City. We did what real grown ups without kids do, we went shopping at the liquor store. No "mom are we done yet" "mom why is that bottle shaped different", mom What does V-o-d-k-a spell, or "Mom why are we hear, can I have some too?" it was great!!! Talked to the staff who were nice and engaging but I'm pretty sure they were surveying the customers for traces of previous liquoring up before of course liquoring up more.
Another Night we went for a walk along the Harbour Board walk and took pictures. I think there may even be a picture of me in there.
The inlaws took us out for supper one evening, it was a great deal too, the kids meals were 4.95 then 99cent desserts. I shared some of my meal with my oldest as he's technically not 10 anymore shhhhhhhhh! If he keeps growing tall I'm going to be caught soon. 11yrold do eat more then 10yrolds. ha!
Hubbie had 3 allergic reactions while on our vacation. Nothing says "excitment" and adventure like watching your hubbie start to scratch his head, his nose, his leg then his arm while driving... ugh! I noticed his reaction before he did this time. Another time someone orded a Sizzling Skillet meal and well he's allergic to mushrooms so the smell of just walking by our table. I sent him to the car for his meds. Another day it seemed to be that someone had mowed their lawn which was flourishing in Mushrooms, yummy! deadly to some whether poisonous or not.
I'm going to have to dig out the photo cards and get some pictures load up for you all.
