Entry FeedGarbage Day! As the city is on strike, we decided to make our own garbage day. Thanks to the hateful raccoons, I had quite the mess from the green bin to clean up this morning, so I decided it was time to visit a temporary dump.
First, I took the kids to Walmart where I needed one item: Flushables. OK, so I was running low on toilet paper and paper towels as well. And I guess I could use some Spray 'N' Wash since Son One's T-ball team has WHITE PANTS and the grass stains just don't want to come out.

I drove by a temporary dump site on the way home and noticed neither pickets nor a line up. BONUS!
At home we sorted and double bagged our garbage, recycling and green bin. Back to the temporary dump, the boys and I got to play garbage man by flinging our bags onto the big piles. The nice man at the entrance asked how many bags we had, and if I could handle them myself. It started pouring just as we were done our trash toss.
NOTE: They are not taking recycling at the drop-off centres. They want all garbage double bagged, preferably in black bags. And they are not separating green bin from regular garbage...
The kids really enjoyed the garbage adventure. And as good neighbours, they remembered the old lady next door and also took her green bin to the dump. Some days I really like my kids. Today is one of them.
Tonight Son One has a soccer game, assuming that the weather cooperates. Right now my three little angles are helping with laundry, and are all colouring together. I may just make it through the summer vacation after all.
