We have been a one car family for years. It works for us. Sometimes inconvenient but we just don't double book ourselves. Or dh will drop me off when I am going to be getting my hair done, for example, which takes a couple of hours and pick me up later. Helps to be in a small town. I even ferry my brother around when he needs a ride as he is disabled and has never had a licence. He usually takes the bus or gets rides from friends, though.
But we are retired, so we rarely HAVE to be using the car both at the same time.
Better for the environment, too.
Good for you for making this decision!

Thanks everyone for the anniversary wishes.
@saundyl Great pics! Looks like beautiful country. Hope the ex gets her stuff moved out.
@Granger Aw Josie is really growing. There`s nothing cuter than a baby laughing. Happy birthday to DH
@ SassyAshley I used to work in a factory sewing draperies. They didn`t like to turn the heat on when it got cold. Sewing with gloves on doesn`t work either...we tried it.

Busy day today! Half way done my year end, feels good to be on the way to being done. I told myself as soon as year end was done and the windows were washed for winter I could start doing some Christmas crafting. Had to motivate myself somehow.
Husband is feeling really well considering he was in atrial fibrillation less than a week ago. The Americans arrived this afternoon all in good spirits and looking forward to a Canadian goose hunting experience!! They are all lawyers so I am glad my son could join them, he is considering law post secondary and he was anxious to ask some questions!! i made a quick jaunt to the cabin to drop of dessert and a few other treats for the hunters and enjoyed a coffee on the deck, a few sailboats were out and the leaves were beautiful.
Well I am going to break out a box of Kleenex and watch Still Alice on net-flicks tonight. I read the book when we were in Spain and loved it. My daughter said she cried a lot during the movie. Sometimes it does you good to see a tear jerker!!
Enjoy the day tomorrow everyone
Oh forgot to mention I found a good deal today at Superstore, Knorr had bonus boxes of their products at Superstore today,2.97 regular 9.97, inside there are two packs of sidekicks, a package of bouillon cubes (6 cubes), rose sauce mix, leek soup mix and a package of the condensed chicken stock(regular size pack of 4). Also a recipe book with 5.00 work of coupons, one of them is 2.50 for 3 Knorr items. Just thought I would mention it, I am not a user of side kicks but the teen likes them sometimes!!Last edited by thriftygranny; Sat, Sep 19th, 2015 at 10:57 PM.

I'm not sure if I posted this yet.
We took away big brother's pull-ups just over a week ago. He initially cried for his diapers, but he has quickly gotten over it. He now goes to the potty all by himself, but I still give him frequent reminders. He has about 1 accident a day, usually when he is too excited to stop what he is doing to go potty. We have been giving him 1 M&M some of the time as a reward, but not always. He's quite proud of himself. He empties his potty and enjoys washing his hands...making a mess with it. He is consistently dry after nap time and doesn't want to wear a pull-up during nap in case of an accident. He wears a diaper at night because we want him to, but he is often dry in the morning too. We are so proud of him. Such a quick improvement.
Dh has been gone pretty much since yesterday morning and won't be home until tomorrow night. These are the first nights that I have been home alone with the three children, therefore, also the first nights that dh has been away from our newborn twins. Both babies have been very fussy for about 4hrs before bed. It's rough to deal with that by myself, try to feed big brother and I supper during that time and get everyone to bed. The last child went to sleep just before 10pm tonight. I'm sitting here eating a big bowl of Rice Krispies before getting ready for bed for the night. We have never let any of our babies sleep for more than 5hrs at a time until they are at least 4months old. Studies have shown that this reduces the baby's risk of SIDS, so I set an alarm just in case they sleep that long.
I had a productive day today. The older lady was here from about 11am-2pm today to help out. I went to the farmer's market and bought 2 spaghetti squash and 2 small bags of baby carrots before she came over. Big brother ate 1.5 medium sized baby carrots as soon as we got home, which was great to see. I tidied up a little bit, washed all the dishes, did a load of laundry, cooked home made wiener and bean soup (full of veggies and something dh doesn't like), got the mail with all the children in tow and spent a little time in the back yard with them but baby girl was not impressed. I'm VERY hungry all the time because I am still exclusively nursing the twins. I've quite the sweet tooth lately. I was really hoping to make those oatmeal chocolate chip squares today (with 1/2 apple sauce to reduce the fat content and see how they taste), so I'm now hoping to make it tomorrow morning.
edit: I got 5.4hrs sleep last night and managed to get a 1hr nap this afternoon when all 3 children were down.Last edited by Angela273; Sun, Sep 20th, 2015 at 12:49 AM.
