Summer Girls

Today started out on a bad foot...as Mike pulled out of the driveway this morning, I realized I had made a monumental mistake by not taking the car. We didn't particularly have anywhere to be, but just knowing that we could if the mood struck would have been enough for us. But instead we were left behind to stare at each other wondering what the heck we would do next. So, breakfast, shorts and T's, sunscreen on and we were out to fill up the pool. Today we brought out bubbles for a change, and that added a bit of pizazz to the otherwise standard yard play.

Maisie decided that it was no longer good enough to have me blow bubbles, but rather she wanted to do it! It took a few tries, but eventually she got the hang of it!

Not a cloud in the beautiful blue sky

So, when all was said and done, we survived the day with the help of sun and popsicles. And now it's the long weekend, Mike's off next week which will be fun. Right now, I'm sitting by an open window enjoying the cool summer night air and the smell of someone's outdoor fire. Smells like camping and summer. I think that this season is the only reason we all survive the winter...just for the joy of these months. Tomorrow's Canada Day, which means fireworks! We're taking Maisie to her very first firework experience, so let's hope it's a positive one.

On another note, I need an opinion on this nail polish.

I've had it for a while, and forgot about it. It's nude with a matte top coat (which is seriously cool). The jury over here is still out on whether or not it's too boring or if it makes my hands look old. It went on like a dream, and it doesn't matter the mess you make cause you can't tell, so for once my right hand actually looks decent too! Also it has some chips and you can't see them either, so that's a plus. But I'm just not sure I'm in love with it. Thoughts?

Happy almost Canada Day/Weekend!
