july four :: 79 weeks

Sean is 79 weeks old today. I think we'll do something for his 100th week birthday! My father-in-law was joking about have a "party" for his 80 week birthday next week, but I think something is due for his 100th week! Just something with immediate family, nothing serious, but I like celebrating. Celebrating is fun!

We went out today with my mom to do a little shopping and get out of the house. Sean wanted Chicken Nuggets for lunch, so we stopped to have some. He wanted to show you that he's a big boy now, and knows how to drink out of a cup. (Though I don't put much in at a time, because he spills still if there is too much).

My big boy! I can't believe how big he's getting. Every day he amazes me with new things!

On most days he fights his naps. Today, we managed to get him to sleep in the car, and he stayed asleep once we transferred him into his stroller while my mom & I did some shopping. I had a gift certificate to HBC so I went to The Baie and picked out a pj 4 piece set, a new purse, and 2 shirts. Thank you to my in-laws for the very generous birthday gift certificate! I also got a great deal (at another store) on a pair of gorgeous black heels for 5$. (More about those tomorrow).

It was a nice afternoon out, and on my way home we did some groceries, and I picked up a 12-pack of Heineken. Dying for a beer. Though, I need to put them in the fridge and let them cool! MMmm, ice cold beer, hot summer day.

This evening my in-laws came over for dinner while Jamie played ball. My father-in-law BBQ'ed, which I'll never allow again. He didn't cook the hamburgers properly, and I think now I'm traumatized. Never again will I let him BBQ at my house! It's my MIL who is the cook!

After ball, Jamie's best friend & his girlfriend came over, and we watched a bit of Last Comic Standing from Thursday night and just chilled.

I need to clean my office tomorrow. It's a mess again. Yep. Life with a newborn & toddler. I need to find more time to read (want to finish my book already) and also more time to knit! Need more knitting time, it's a fact! I'm jonesing to knit. Will make the time. I also need Jamie to hang up stuff around the house, he's better at hanging stuff, than I am. (Picture frames that need to go up!) and also, I need to do laundry. It's piling up again. I think though, that I need Sean to be babysat for an entire day (like 10- 5pm or so), so that I could organize my office, and get it cleaned. But who knows when that'll happen. Maybe one day I'll see the floor in there again! LOL

To my American friends just south of us, Happy July the 4th. Hope you had a good one. Crack a beer open for me, okay? Mine aren't cold yet.

ps - this evening I spotted the first zucchini in my garden. Hopefully I'll be able to photograph it tomorrow! xoxo YEY!

pps- I'm nearing my 5000th commenter. Will it be you? There will be a prize for the person who is!
