Happy Monday!
The boys and I are wearing orange today. Tshirts for them, blazer for me. Tomorrow is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation here in Canada, and it would be a national day off, so chools and public would be wearing orange tshirt the day before normally. I always like wearing uniformly. I think growing up at schools wearing uniform, tp this day, I still like whenever there’s uniform going on at schools or elsewhere 😁
Hope you had a great weekend! My oldest and I went to walk in the forest regardless the crazy windy weekend, while my youngest went for bowling birthday party. Then I food prepped for the freezer. No rest at all. I’m dead tired 😣
