Yesterday O & I went to a pumpkin patch on a play date. This morning we're going to Starbucks and Target with friends. Tonight we're going out to dinner with friends. H is playing frisbee and dining with the guys. Kind of split on what to do tomorrow. Our NFL team is playing in London so the game is at 9:30am which is when we're usually at church. Maybe we'll record the game and watch later. Now to get dressed to leave. I'm waiting to have coffee and it's making morning hard.
I saw that last night when we were watching the game. Why are they playing in London?
I think there's a game almost every week in London this season. Because the NFL needs more coverage? No idea. If anyone else has a real answer, feel free to share it.
We're going to a pumpkin patch thing at a local shopping center and then my parents are taking us out to lunch. Then we'll likely play outside because it's supposed to be 74 degrees, yesss.
I woke up to my husband making me breakfast, so I think today will be a good one!

The NFL made a deal a few years ago to play there. There are rumors they're considering an expansion team there for some bizarre-o reason
V slept until 8:30 this morning! I'm enjoying coffee and our ritual Sat morning donut holes. I have a nail appt soon and then we will go run errands and hit up some local farms, probably eat dinner out. Tomorrow is football, laundry and cooking!

DD and I are running to the outlets for some Christmas shopping. I'm trying to lighten the load on my bills over the next couple months. We'll probably carve pumpkins tonight.
PSA for all fellow Zippadeezip lovers: they're having their $29 sale right now! I'm still squeezing DD in her 6-12 month one so it's time to size up.
It's our football team's last game of the season and last ever in their old stadium. I wish we were going but also looking forward to a weekend at home and watching it here!
I went out and took a couple family pictures for our Christmas cards yesterday and made my cards last night so I'm pretty excited about that.

Jealous of all of the pumpkin patches. It's too cold for that here. Haha.
We have a first birthday party today. A is so excited. The birthday boy was over a few weeks ago for his cake smash and she has been talking about his party since then. She just really likes cake. Haha.
It's also the last day with DH before he leaves again so we are trying to spend as much time as a family as possible. Just came downstairs from showering and found him, the girls, and the dog all snuggled on the floor.
We were up late last night at a "pumpkin glow" one of the oldest shopping districts puts on. The stores all carve pumpkins and light them and have samples and crafty things for the kids to do.
I cut ds's hair this morning and he's in the shower now. S is down for a nap since she was up so late last night.
We may run down to my parents house to check out their flooring and paint they just did.
Tonight I'm going to a haunted trail and our college bar with some friends. I may be crashing at one of their houses tonight if I drink too much.

We've got some of H's friends coming over this afternoon. I'm excited for him because he rarely gets to see them. Should be crazy with seven adults and six kids running around, but should be fun too! At least we have a lot of booze
Lots of errands on the schedule today. I got very few completed before lunch time, so I'm out again during naptime (thank you college football).
Tomorrow J and I are meeting up with my bff & her son for a ragamuffin parade. I'm not sure what this will entail, but yay for getting my money's worth on her costume.

Watching Snow White with breakfast, then chilling at the house. H was up late with a tour last night so he's sleeping in. I was actually able to get some good Aurora pics last night since it was out early and A slept peacefully for a few hours.

LBB's best friend is sick and was in charge of snacks for soccer today. So I went and grabbed snacks for the kids.
Read a blog post yesterday where the blogger wrote about how she judges the junky snacks the other mothers bring to soccer, while she makes homemade sweet potato muffins for the kids. Thought about that as I grabbed juice, crackers, and "fruit" snacks for the kids.
billyhorrible I'm guessing the kids like the moms who DON'T bring sweet potato muff8ns better. Those sound beyond vile.
I imagine sweet potato muffins are delicious, like pumpkin muffins. But when it comes to soccer snacks, I can't imagine being judgey about anyone who takes the time/energy/cost to supply kids with a pick-me-up after the game.
Crap. Literally. H went to put O into his sleepsack and asked what the brown stain on it. Definitely poop from this morning that I didn't notice. The other lightweight one is at my mom's so we're currently attempting sleep without any sack for the first time since newborn days. He's playing peekaboo in his crib since I gave him a blanket. Now he's sitting and playing. Pass the beer.
Everyone is so quiet this morning!! (Unless all the chatter is happening on the private board. I wasn't around Friday when they announced there was a new password, so I'm still waiting)
Quiet day at home with C while DH is at work. We are currently watching Curious George A Halloween Boofest. Hopefully DH is home early enough that we can get both fish tanks cleaned from top to bottom (it has been far too long and they are so gross!) and still have time to take C to the trunk or treat in my hometown tonight.
Sitting in the parking lot at the walk in waiting for them to open their phones because you have to call if your kid has a rash. I've was here way before everyone and now twenty people will be ahead of us because they opened ed the doors before the phones...

My dog stole a dirty diaper and brought it to his kennel to destroy overnight. Now him and the entire room smell like baby poop. So that's how my day is going so far.

Well that's not fair. I hope they get you in quick and it's nothing too bad.
It's an allergic reaction to the antibiotics. We waited over an hour to be told to stop the antibiotics and use benadryl. Glad we took him in though. He seems happy and not itchy or anything so that's good.

Poor guy!! How long was he on the medication, what was he on? C had an allergic reaction to amoxicillin- he had roughly 16 doses before the rash appeared. It took almost a full week for the rash to completely go away and actually got worse before it got better. I took him in on a Friday and it was only on his thighs, back and stomach. By Sunday morning he was head to toe covered with it. Hope it goes away quickly and doesn't bother him too much!

Both boys fell asleep on the mile drive home from the party, so I'm currently just chillin' in the car.
DH went surfing while we went to the party. I'm so thankful for my group of friends who make it so much easier to have one parent and two kids at a party!
I got to have unexpected just sister time today. We did a ate hot dogs, did a corn maze (pretty sure I'm sunburnt! It was 80 and sunny), and got ice cream at our favorite place. When I got home I figured we should do something to our pumpkins. O ate some acrylic paint which ended our decorating pretty fast. Whoops!

After the worst night of sleep EVER in C's history (including newborn days!!) she's napped a total of 5 hours today. Waiting for the laundry to be done so we can plop her in to her Halloween jammies and in bed:) I'm off tomorrow so I'm going to stay up late and catch up on my DVR!
