The leaves are changing colour.
So why am I sad? There are a few reasons. This year I worked every second week and I didn’t have as much time to spend with the kids. Another reason is because we spent so much time visiting with family, which I loved, we were unable to see any of our local friends. I miss them. Speaking of friends, last week HBear’s KBesty moved to Airdrie. I know how that feels, my WpgBesty moved away in grade 4. Granted she moved across the city and this move is to another province! I have to say they handled it so well! Maybe even better than me
😂.I am also deeply saddened to be losing 1 of our family’s closest friends and her parents. We connected early on and going out with them 2 to 3 times a year was basically our entire social life
😂. I was lucky enough to go out for 1 last hurrah with the Ladies the day before they left. We had a fantastic time… like usual! We will miss their entire family so much and are already planning a visit! We wish them luck in everything they do and are grateful for the time we have had with them.
This week we over talked on our latest Episode 80: When Smoke Gets in Your Eye, of How Was Your Week, Honey? No seriously. Because we had not podcasted together in a while, our latest episode is filled with stories from the past 2 weeks. You can check it out HERE!
Remember last week when we made Mexican for my SIL? Yeah, so after months and months of trying different recipes we decided to say screw it and make something completely new 😂. We had Ninja’s famous Fresh Pico de Gallo and my favourite Corn Salad which is also my most viewed recipe on the blog! We also tried the most refreshing Tequila Lime Coleslaw and Baked Chicken Chimichangas! Ninja and I both worked that day and still had dinner on the table for 11 guests within an hour! Fresh, healthy, fast, and delicious!

This past week the Girls were in 2 amazing camps! SBean did dance camp and HBear did the most spectacular Xplore Sports camp! They tried out track and field, gymnastics, swimming, Dragonboat racing, kayaking, pickleball, basketball, soccer, and did a athletic test which told her she is best suited for gymnastics, synchronized swimming and dance 😂 that test is pretty bang on! She loved it and the instructors were phenomenal! At the end of the week SBean put on a show for us and even her big cousin, PSketches came to watch! She was so nervous and so excited! She was the main character and to wrap up their Disney Dance week they performed the trailer for the new Wreck It Ralph 2 coming out soon! SBean played Vanellope!
Summer is definitely coming to an end but rest assured, we plan on making the most out of our final 2 weeks!

End of summer celebrations! That sounds amazing. I also would be hosting the chic party at one of the Los Angeles venues for my birthday but want to go for an indoor themed party. I have to find a location with gold and black themed décor. Do you know about any locations?
