So... my oldest "brother's" family has temporarily moved in with us, which means that the nice and quiet house that I got to escape to every weekend has now turned into a mad house. That same unemployed brother decided to take it upon himself to renovate the entire home throughout his stay, tearing away all the carpet and replacing it with hardwood. They moved all the stuff into my room which makes it impossible to close the door, and I have this delightful corner of my bed to myself. 


So we have no carpet and no hardwood yet upstairs. We have kids running around, making a mess and causing mayhem downstairs. You have my oldest "brother" working on the house with help from my dad and my youngest brother. Their respective wives are here. You have my sister-in-law's parents come over too. And you have me.

I'm hiding in my room trying to enjoy this solitary bliss as much as I can before I have to join the family circus downstairs.


Ira's bday dinner at Sushi Star and then celebration at our house with cake and presents (we got her a camera!)...

Ira's other lady friends (why is everyone in the corner wearing aqua?)

Justin's bday after and I made un gateau...

final product (it's a cheesecake underneath the fondant)...kinda ruined because my horrible writing. It's HARD! Writing took me 2x amount of time to make the spiderman

Then... father's day weekend...full of caring for babies

Saturday we went to Spring Rolls and I ate this nasty pad thai. Sunday, brother brought over shrimp and snail to eat. Yumm.. Weekend went by pretty quickly =( Back to school... two exams. I gave Ira my Sims 3 disk to hide away from me until then!


Again, Marilyn pays $25+ of long distance fees from picking up the phone when in Mississauga.


No more! TEXTING ONLY.




Friday
Me and James at his grad reception. 

No grad pics from me yet, my brother was my personal photographer and has it all. I refuse to talk about grad (best day ever) until I have my photos.


Crazy grad night with drunkerds in our house. What happened that night stayed with that night...

Saturday

I made him three sandwiches. Studying with Mike, then pulling an all nighter for my exam that didn't deserve my all nighter. It's okay, I was playing blockles most of the time anywho.


I came home to Ira's homemade Shepherd's pie

Sunday
9 am exam in the morning. I took a nap for 3 hrs then Ira woke me up for Monica's BBQ. Mike won (AGAIN) $50 in poker so me and Jacey attacked him and I reaped my Party on a Boat funds from him. 

Monday
A bad morning so I went to the gym and ran into Shannon. Then we went to hang out with Mike. They bought a softball and they were teaching me how to catch and throw (even though there's no way in heck I'm joining their MLSB team). We then went back for badminton

Tuesday
They raided my room to play poker. This is the first time Mike lost...... I think this was a very important day for all of us. Amen.
