Holiday weekend shenanigans

[merryrissmas]

Good morning ladies, what are your plans for the long weekend? 

I want to do a bunch of cooking, cleaning, and organizing. I also want to do a reconnaissance mission to BRU to register or at least make a plan for what we need to get before September. 

I dreamed about waking up my DH with morning sex. That counts for something, right?

[singingsea]

Good morning! My mom's 60th birthday party is tonight. I hope she likes her gift. She has traveled a lot so I made her a photo book off shutterfly of her travels. We're also hosting a cookout and painting the nursery this weekend. So pretty frickin' busy

[merryrissmas]

Sounds fun, singingsea!

DH is going to do some heavy lifting in the nursery so we can get to the closest. And at somepoint we'll go to my moms other than that not much I think. Maybe dinner and a movie that sounds like fun.

[lovetruly2015]

I can't wait to start painting in the nursery just not so find of picking a color. A uber creative wife who loves color and a color deficient husband who can't see any color clearly makes things very difficult.

Probably try to spend some more time cleaning up the nursery today. I also was to take measurements and start playing around with potential layouts since it's not the biggest room. Also need to make a Target run sometime today.

Cookout at my neighbor's tomorrow which is always fun.

My mom wants to go to a food festival Monday but we'll have to see how the weekend goes. I've never handled heat too well and I had a number of BHs last night after my walk. It's going to be a hot weekend and I don't particularly want to walk around a festival if it's still 85-90 on Monday.

We're headed to vacation at the lake for a week! We're going with my parents and brother and SIL. I'm so excited because we haven't seen my brother since Christmas, and they already told me they would parent for me all week.

I get to work all weekend!!!
I'm off Monday and it's DH's birthday. We're going to a local amusement park for kids (mother goose theme). I'm SO excited. C liked it last year, but she'll be so much more fun this year!

FML...the compressor for our central A/C just seized up. Got someone out here to look at it and it's not fixable. The whole outside compressor unit has to be replaced.

$2-3K to replace and obviously it's not getting done over a long holiday weekend. And it's supposed to be in the 90's. Ugh...

[singingsea]

Ugh I'm really sorry LadyNymeria For health reasons is there anywhere you can hang during the day till the house cools at night?

It's not too bad in here yet, but I could always head to my neighbor's house if need be. We were already planning to spend tomorrow afternoon/evening there so that's good at least.

She even has a window A/C unit we can borrow to put in our bedroom until we can get it fixed.

[serendipity731]

Sounds like everyone has fun and busy weekend ahead!

singingsea that's a great gift!

LadyNymeria oh no, that sucks!! Hopefully you guys have fans to help out a little.

[abcmommy]

Oh no LadyNymeria! So sorry about your A/C.

I'm glad everyone seems to have exciting plans for the weekend!

We're not up to much. DH is working all weekend as usual so it's just me and the kids. We played at the park this morning which they love. Now it's nap time and I think I might nap too. But all this nursery talk is starting to make me think about how I need to rearrange DD's room to fit the baby. I should probably start planning that out soon.

[cbowl]

Not much over here! I got to sleep in today. Then I was craving a hot dog so I dragged my LO along with me...she ate cheese fries while I chowed a hot dog. Healthy start to the weekend!

[cassey910]

Oh man, I'm sorry LadyNymeria.
We took DS on a little morning hike. He loved it. Tomorrow we may be going to my mom's house and Monday we are planning on going to DH's parents for a cookout.

[sodapop]

LadyNymeria, I'm sorry, that sucks! That's expensive!

Not a long weekend here :-(. We had one last weekend though...

Not much going on, soccer this morning for DS and then Costco. It is so hot here too!

[lovetruly2015]

Step one if the shed rebuild done. Current shed has been gone through and cleand out of trash. And DH I believe has started ordering materials for the new one. We might actually get the nursery clean out before the shower! Baby however seems to like making me crazy he's been relatively quiet for a few days only making movements I can feel every so often. Stinker.

[LadyNymeria]

lovetruly2015 - Baby has been doing the same to me amd I'm not a fan either. When that happens, if I focus on where the movements that I am feeling are located I've figured out that he has probably just moved positions and is kicking somewhere I can't feel very well.

I too prefer the days where it's lots of obvious movement!!

DD is having a blast at the 'ocean' (lake). She loved throwing rocks in.

Right now she's car napping at a winery. I sent H on ahead to visit with his college friend. I can't drink anyway and can hear the music from here with all the windows down.

Yeah I try not to let it mess with my mind too much. Also from what I understand they sleep more whil growing so move less so I try really hard to keep a calm mind when he goes quiet at times. Its just hard sometimes.

[merryrissmas]

AW: my older kids picked out baby's coming home outfit at BRU today

[cbowl]

so sweet merryrissmas !!!

[cbrandt1]

Thoughts on this??

[LadyNymeria]

cbrandt1 - I feel like if you like overalls they could be cute, but personally I've never really been a fan of overalls so they're not my favorite.

[merryrissmas]

cbrandt1, I'm personally not a fan. I got enough of overalls in the 90s

Thanks! I got them and figured I'd return them if they don't look great. They're doing 20% off this weekend so I figured it was worth it. They're from Asos.com
