Summer...you've left me again...

It sure felt like Fall this morning as we headed out the door...chilly and windy...no say it ain't so...Summer was pretty non-existent and you expect me to go right into Fall???

I didn't get to the beach over the weekend like I hoped I would...it rained and rained and rained...but alas I spent the wet weekend outdoors regardless.

Saturday the boyfriend and I sat in the yard and watched the rain...he barbequed pork tenderloin and I just sat and watched him get wet...offering up my umbrella which he kept refusing lol.

Yesterday we all went fishing...when we first got there it was pouring down rain and although we each had an umbrella (the boy sported a nifty little umbrella hat...lol) we got soaked...I sulked in the car for a bit because the boyfriend got a little irritated that I had no idea how to use a fishing rod...HELLO...CITY girl here...the last time I touched a fishing rod was when I was about 14...alot of years ago...Anyways, by the time I was done sulking the rain had died down quite a bit and I was glad I stuck it out and got to see my boy catch his very first fish ever.

He absolutely loved it and would have sat out there all day...as it was we had sat out for a good 4 hours...and as it was time to go he begged to stay and try and catch just one more fishie. Nope I had to say no because this mama had to pee and was not going "lumberjack style" as my boy calls it (I have no clue where the heck he even came up with that term)!!

Wacky Weather

So the start of the week it was unbearably hot...we were camping and it was hard to find shade...even then I was sitting in the shade melting...lol.

Yesterday when my friend P and I planned to take the kids to the pool...well the forecast was crummy. Overcast and COLD....but we figured we'd brave it anyway...what's that??? Oh yeah...that's right...we got there and the pool was closed...due to the weather. So we stayed and played at P's. Not a totally wasted day..we all had fun. But today I promised the boy that if the weather improved we'd go to the pool. Again we wake up to sunny skies and what feels like possibly a warmish day...only to find out that the pool is closed yet again...this afternoon it's breezy and although I'm out in the backyard (supervising the boyfriend's tree trimming) wearing a tank top...I have to admit I'm chilly!

The boy is down the street at his friend's house...they've been to the park...he's begging me to set up his slip and slide when he get's home from said friend's house...and I may just do it...if he's brave enough to get wet in this chillyish weather...why not let him. It'll keep them entertained for hours! lol.

Hope you are all having great weekends...and you have warm weather!

Weekends are too short!

We had a fantastic weekend this past weekend...the weather was gorgeous and we pulled out our fire pit...which immediately turned into "what food can we roast to perfection over the fire pit?". Of course the boy's first choice was marshmallows...even though he won't eat them after he roasts them....yep he's weird like that! Then we had a weenie roast (that's hot dogs for all you sick minded ppl out there...you know who you are!) and then we just sat and back and enjoyed the fire...I love fire. I could sit and stare at it for hours...I love the smell on my clothes that seems to last all night long...I just love it all.

The boy and all his neighbourhood friends have reconnected...life is good. We are one week away from the boy's big birthday...he's super excited...the party is on Saturday and I think I'm mostly prepared.

The next weekend after the boyfriend is taking off with some guys and going on a camping/fishing trip...so the girls and I decided we'd plan a camping trip of our own...no fishing will be going on...just a whole lot of drinking and hot tubbing lol. I've decided to pawn the boy off on my friend P's husband...he has to stay home with their 2 small children anway...so why not???

Randomness - you know you are getting old when the new summer students start at the law firm you work for...and you totally expect some good eye candy...BUT they look like little boys...not grown men...I swear these dudes likely don't even have to shave...baby faced men that they are...my guess is they are no older than 15...but I've been assured that they are in fact in their mid-20s...wow. It is not me that is getting too old...it's my friend...yep uh huh...I'm still just a young'un myself...don't believe me...well it's up to you to prove that I'm not!!!
