Sorry for the late reply. I got the kids finished with their daily hw and I took a shower.
My family line comes from Norway and Sweden. My great grandparents came from Norway on my dad's side. and Sweden and some Norwegian on my mom's. I don't know much about my mom's side though. Rather not.
I picked Norwegian because, as a typical person proud of their family history, I'd like to visit Norway when my kids are older. I don't want to feel too clueless when I get there. There is a lot of English there, but I'd rather be able to read signs and whatnot.

Easy food makes me happy!
I'm going to make a vegetable stir fry tonight with rice.

We put together a trampoline until dark last night. It's not quite finished, need to tie down the spring protector.

Today will be a good day.

Morning!

Our sprinklers went off this morning [house is still new to me, i don't know the hours and times these sprinklers go off] lol, I had to rush to find where to turn them off. Sprinklers were getting the trampoline box and instructions and stuff wet. I left everything out last night. e.e" oops.
we ended up meeting our neighbors last night, it was like the trampoline summoned neighbor kids out. It was weird. Been here 2 months and haven't met the neighbors or seen the kids before.

Hey everyone. I thought I would come and chat in here for a while. How is everyone?

@sunny: Hey Sunny - nice to see you. How are you? What's been going on?

@Koah: thanks! Yours is awesome too, creepy cute!

@Wildfire: I'm good thanks. Not been up to much, I had to wait in for a package. It was rat food and bedding etc.

@Wildfire: I feel your grocery annoyance. My husband is a cow, he burns so much energy. My kids are snack hounds. I eat like a bird.
OH! Kayaking! How fun! :DD

@sunny: Thank you! :p My avi sort of surprised me. I didn't have much intention when I put it together. But I enjoy the outcome. <3
How is your day going?

@Koah: I think it looks great! My day has been fine thanks, a little boring but I can't exactly go out and do something :/ how about you?

@sunny: I'm feeling a bit stuck indoors too. I'm thinking I'll go take a walk around the block or something today. Just to get out and see my new neighborhood.

I spent last year 30 minutes away from town and any good restaurant was 45 min away. So I learned to cook healthier and to have sufficient snacks in the house at all times.
I'm struggling on that front in the new house. Talking about cooking and healthier meals makes me so motivated to get up and do it. I think I'll do beef stew today. C: <3
omg! 80?! Oof! I'm on the west coast, it's cooled down here. I wish it was 80 here. I miss our hot-hot days. Why can't you rely on the boys to help ya out? [if you don't mind me asking].
My brother talked about selling me his one-person kayak. He bought fishing attachments for it and it's rather fancy. I wouldn't mind having it, but i'd have to buy another kayak for my husband. I don't quite feel confident enough to go out on my own yet.
