Canada Day

So this year Canada Day was on a thursday, and my fiance had thursday and friday off this year!!  And since he works monday-friday, and I work saturday/sundays, we really look forward to having any days off together...and this year we got 2 in a row!!!!  So my only request...we are NOT wasting the day watching tv or staying in the house!

So yesterday on the holiday it was rainy, and not that nice out.  So instead of the parade and going to the park to see the festivities we thought, let's skip it this year, our little girl won't remember it anyways, she's too young, and lets head to the next major city which is about an hour or so away to do some shopping for our little monkey girl who is almost 2!!  What a success! Sometimes shopping can be stressful when you can't find what you are looking for, but this year we lucked out with a great sale on 3 of the things we wanted. I love a good sale!!! I can't wait for her to open her gifts.  Even though she was in the cart when we got everything, we let her play with her new sand bucket and shovel for the beach and she forgot about everything else sitting in the cart with her!  And really, at this age is still about about mommy and daddy and how we get excited for her, she really wouldn't care if we got her a stick and a tin can...she'd have fun!  So after hours of shopping fun, the ride home was so peaceful with a sleeping baby in the backseat. She shopped til she dropped, literally! I had to snap a picture of it too, since she fell asleep with her sunnies on...so adorable!
So we had a later supper and then movie night for us after she went to bed and it was a great day. It's always so much fun spending someone else's money!

Today we knew was supposed to be sunny. So while she was having a morning nap, I ran out and got my groceries came home, my fiance made us yummy sammies and when we were ready we decided to go to the beach and take some family pictures.  The last time the 3 of us were in a picture together was almost a year ago. It was time for some new ones!!  It was so sunny but really breezy down by the ocean today, but we still had fun enjoying mother nature at its finest, and snapping some new summer pictures! 

Then it was off to Canadian Tire to stock up on our camping supplies for next months trip!!  I managed to grab some glow sticks! lol. I think that's my fave thing about camping, hanging a blue glowstick in the tent....don't know why or when I ever started this, but I can't camp without one, and it HAS to be blue! I'm weird I know.  Got a couple new air mattresses, and also my daughter got her first sleeping bag!!! I hope she likes camping! Now we are home, the baby and her daddy are both napping. When they wake up we are having a steak BBQ with caesar salad, new potatoes, and veggies.  I think we'll be sitting on the patio for sure this evening. We need to soak in some more sun and enjoy this beautiful summer day.

Its not like we did anything wild or exciting, but for us just to have 2 full days together was awesome. I'm getting sad they are almost over and I have to go to work this weekend, but that's life. Until I win the Lottery I just have to suck it up and put on my big girl panties. I told him today maybe we should think about having another baby....he put some beer in the fridge. Hahahaha. (guess that's a no.)

Hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend!
