2 plans are better than 1

So it looks as though today will be a nice day, despite what they were forecasting...

I've come to the conclusion it's best to plan your summer days for Rain or Shine. Two separate plans if necessary... Not that I plan my days the night before (I wish)... if I said I did, it would be a lie. With three kids, right now it's all about flying by the seat of my pants...

All in all today looks nice, so I think we are going to hit up Kildonan Park's newly renovated outdoor pool and spray pad. With one hour until opening, I should have enough time to have a coffee, start making some lunch and pack a snack & drinks. 

Watch for photos to come!!!

HELLO SUMMER!!!! ummm, now what?

HELLO SUMMER!!!! ummm, now what?

So it's about 14 days, 6 hours 53 minutes into summer vacation (but who's counting), and my kids are fighting, arguing, nitpicking, not listening, and running WILD! WILD! WILD! ARGH!!!!!   HELP!! Where did I lose Control?

My mom says that my Grandma always said "There are no bad kids, just bored kids" Well I guess my kids are officially BORED!

Time for me to take back the control! How? PLAN, PLAN, PLAN!

With our basement reno in full force (due to heavy rain flooding), we see no big summer trips in our future...therefor 'Mama's gotta keep those kids busy!' Thank goodness for the internet! I thought since I went to the work of finding all of these ideas, I should share, so stay tuned...
