Well I guess I won’t be looking for the best grad gifts that money can buy, but rather a wonderful wedding anniversary present for my husband. On July 27 with will be married for 10 years and I really want to find him a special gift! Normally I break down and just purchase him a Canadian Tire gift card but this year since it’s our 10th I want to do something special.
Any suggestions guys?
Well now that the entire household is officially on vacation, we have decided to head out to the camp ground later on this afternoon. The kids are very excited that we finally get to go camping this season. Although the season stared in May we have been unable to go camping due to work schedules so having this bit of time off will really be appreciated. So have a great rest of your week and I’ll pop back in here when we get back and let you all know how we all made out.
Here in Canada we have started our long weekend. Well we have some major plans for this weekend. We are going camping!! We have our honda portable generators all ready to go, the coolers are packed and our pop up camper trailer is all set to go. All we need to do is pack up some clothes and we will be ready to roll. As this is our first trip out this season, the kids are really excited. So… have a great weekend and I’ll talk to you all soon.
A couple of years ago my husband and I bought a brand new pop up camper trailer. So for the past couple of years we have been given a personal invite to attend our annual RV show that is held in town. Well this weekend was the show. Yesterday we loaded up the kids and headed off to the show. Well, the amount of used travel trailers that they had for sale would have absolutely blew your mind. I really don’t think we will be purchasing anything or trading up this year, but the show was still fun to go to and see what is out for this year. Maybe next year we will upgrade to a bigger trailer, but not this year.
Although Christmas is usually a happy time for most people, this year my best friend has the Christmas blues. Last month her son checked into a drug rehab center and it looks like he won’t be able to get out any time soon. So this has gotten her a little depressed. She does plan on seeing him over the Christmas holidays, but it’s still not the same thing. I have tried to tell her that at least he’s in a drug rehab program, so eventually he will get better and be home for many, many more Christmas’s to come. But, it’s still very difficult for her.
My youngest son is just too funny. When he’s in his room and playing his PS3 games, you can sure tell. When he’s losing all you hear is him hollering at the TV accusing it of cheating and when he is winning he is screaming even louder. Sometimes it’s really difficult to tell if he’s winning or losing. For the past three days now he has been glued to his TV and video games and it’s all I can do to get him to come out for something to eat. Then the yelling starts. At this point I don’t know where to laugh, cry or holler at him to quiet things down. Oh well, boys will be boys.
Well the sun is supposed to be shining all weekend so first thing tomorrow morning we will be headed out to the camp site. We will be trying a different one this time so I think that the kids are going to have a really great time. We are going to one that has a beach instead of a pool which will be a little different for the kids. They also have tons of activities going on during the day for the kids. So I think picking a different camp site will be an adventure for the kids.
Next Monday is my daughter’s 11th birthday and next Tuesday is my son’s 9th birthday. So we have some presents to buy. My daughter has asked for an iphone and iphone accessories and my son has asked for a new DSI. As these are pretty big requests, I really don’t think we will end up making these purchases. They might get these gifts for Christmas, but not for their birthdays. But knowing these two kids, any thing we purchase them they will be happy with. Now all we have to do is decide what to buy them and then just go out and get it.
Well it looks like this is what is going to take place. Last year we bought a brand new pop up camper trailer and have been making monthly payments on it ever since. But so far this year we haven’t been able to use it at all. I’m serious, it has rained every weekend since the kids have been out of school. Well my husband has decided that we are going to take the trailer out this weekend whether it rains or not. And yes, the weatherman is calling for rain all weekend. It’s too bad that we don’t do any rv camping. This way we wouldn’t have to worry about what the weatherman says. But we really need to get some use out of it. So… we will be going camping in the rain this weekend.
