Wow, Carla!

That`s great for you getting a free BBQ grill and patio! You have very generous neighbours!

Here was my day:

I did lots of laundry!
The kids had a day off.
Watched the kids in the swimming pool.
Dh finished early from work.
It was report card day at school for 2 of my sons.

We had lunch at a hotdog restaurant with the kids.
Tonight for supper, I need inspiration...help!

Tonight there`s a social party for the teachers and parents at school. Don`t know if we`ll go...

Have a nice week-end everyone!

I took the kids to a friend's house (forty minutes away!) to play for the day. We came home and the boys spent thirty intues doing their daily reading while I started dinner-- BBQ chicken thighs, mashed potaotes and salad. Hey, it's not inspired, but it's good for you and cheap!
