Sunday

Sunday
We had such a great family day today, woke up and jumped in the car to go garage saleing... we LOVE yard saleing, If we have something specific we are looking for than we will go Saturday morning bright and early.... If we are just looking at whats out there then we go Sundays, people are just trying to get rid of stuff at that point so you get better deals.
We did not find anything today but had fun looking.
Then Steve remembered that there was an A division baseball tournament playing so we went and watched a game while Emma ran around and Hailey chilled in the grass, If you know us at all, you know how much we love baseball... we will stop and watch anyone play... Its a great thing to do as a family and most of the time FREE.
After the game we were planning on going grocery shopping, but because I still have a bad case of mommy brain that plan was derailed because I forgot my wallet on the computer desk at home. So we went and tinkered around Canadian Tire. Where, I am excited to announce I finally got my new CAN OPENER!!! hahaha, I have been needing one for months, but for whatever reason never thought of it while I was out so I would struggle with the 3 broken ones I have untill it was open enough to pry open with a butter knife. If nothing else it was a good workout :)
After that we came home with not much planned except the girls having naps, and haning out.
We started talking about our very very overgrown garden. the flowers in it were pretty but there was old bulbs rotting and it was starting to smell, the whole things was a crazy mess. Next thing I knew Steve was ripping things out... we left a shrub and the rose bushes, everything else was destroyed. Back to town we went, this time to home depot (closest to our house) ... Emma, Hailey and I walked around and checked out the flowers while Steve picked out what he wanted. I cant remember the name of the flowers he chose, but I picked some Gerbera Daisies which are my fav so he planted a few of those in the corner for me.
We came home, Emma and I made dinner while Steve planted the flowers and then we all ate dinner on the porch.
I know nothing at all exciting happend (except my can opener), But I love days when you wake up and just go with the flow. Have an idea and go with it. It makes me appreciate my little family. It makes me appreciate Steve who is my best friend and my favourite person to have these random days with. It makes me appreciate having somewhere to teach Emma how to plant flowers and laugh at how scared she is of worms. It makes me appreciate listening to Hailey make rasberries and talk to herself on the porch while we are yanking weeds. And new neighbours just comming over to introduce them selves and say hello.
We are so very blessed to have what we have.
