Dare #38

Welcome back to the work week! If you are a Canadian you are looking forward to this week, especially Thursday which is Canada day! Woo hoo! Parade, fireworks and Canadian pride, I don't know what else is better.

Dare #38

Have a barbecue supper one day this week.

Well I sure had an action packed weekend, how about you?

Friday night I came home from work and got right down to business. I made supper and helped Ryan tape the basement before heading out to a book club meeting.

Too much taping!

We covered Twlight this time and out of the 3 past book club meetings this was the one that we had the most to talk about. We actually talked about the book for 2 hours straight! It made me look forward to Eclipse coming out this week! Ahhh Yay!

Saturday I woke up early (stupid sleep schedule) and got started on making squares for the the surprise birthday party that night. I made nanimo, white chocolate raspberry and lemon squares. At 11 I headed over to Stacy's where she was hosting a baby shower for Hollie! Hollie is expecting twin girls very shorty, how exciting is that? The bad news, this is the award I received because my gift was the seventh one opened.....

So, not going to happen soon and from the look of the 3 other pregnant ladies in that room I am definitely not the next one! ha ha!

Stacy did such a great job hosting...fabulous food, great visiting and look at the adorable favors she made for everyone!


I finally got to give Hollie her baby blankets that I had made for her but more details and picture on that later this week.

Saturday afternoon/night was Ryan's Uncle Charles surprise 40th birthday party.


Ryan's mom and Aunt's did an great job organizing the party. There was such a great turn out and a bunch of our friends were there so we got to sit and visit!


Shower food in the morning and party food that evening, so yummy but I don't want to look at the scale today!

Sunday I spent the day finishing the last coat of paint. I am so sick of painting but the room looks awesome and it was well worth all the work. I can't wait to see the cupboards on Tuesday.

I hope you all have a great week!

  1. Thanks for coming to the shower Lindsay! It was a great turnout and Hollie was very happy with the gifts...I loved your blankets...they were really nice! As for my ovens - I'm glad you liked them, I thought they were a pretty neat idea! I will say that I am glad it's over with, I have been planning and doing things for this shower for like months!
    As for your dare, well I can't bbq cuz i dont own one, the reason for that is because Ricky does not like barbequing...geez! Someday I will buy one though!
    I am glad that i did not attend book club, i wouldnt have had time anyways because I was swamped getting ready for the shower, but being it was a Twilight meeting, ya, not jumping on that band wagon - sorry ladies! It will always remain a mystery to me cuz for as long as I live, I will not pick up one of those books or even watch the movie! Hahaha!
