We had breakfast & ds is watching magic school bus. He's been obsessed ever since seeing it at school. Today is the last day of fall swimming lessons then we'll go to the local art museum for community day. There's a bunch of crafts & kid centered activities.
We're going to watch st. Nicolas' arrival tomorrow in Amsterdam, DD is really excited about it now, it's cute. Instead of a helpers' outfit, she picked a Nicolas costume. Girl power!

So exhausted! It was a late one last night. I slept in a bit though and SO is on shift today.
DS and I cleaned the house and took Maisie to the vet for her last set of shots. Soon we will be off to the library and more cleaning before I work this evening at my retail job. We will stay at my moms tonight. Not sure what we will do tomorrow.

I slept until 9 am, which feels really late compared to the 7 am we've been up the past few days. Probably helped that I went to bed earlier too. Need to get some cleaning done since it looks like a tornado went through here during the week. Nothing else planned uet.

I'm pooped. Swimming was good though we found out the college is redoing the rec center so no swimming until march '18. Hopefully the community pool place lets ds join a slightly higher level than the first stage because their thing is you have to 'successfully complete' each before advancing. If so, that's gonna suck because they cost more $. Dh & I were joking about heading to a hotel with a pool every month & continuing practice that way since he's just with a noodle now. I mean, how hard could it be. We'll see.

Anyway we did the art thing at the museum. It was underwhelming. Just 4 tables of stuff, someone exaggerated how good it was. Lol Ds made a flower out of clay, a puppet, two buttons, & drew some stuff. We came home to continue working on the leaves in the backyard the rest of afternoon. Now Dh is prepping dinner & I'm being useless. I should go see what ds is doing, it's too quiet.

We're having a relaxed morning so far. The plan is to finish up the backyard to be done with majority of the leaves. Definitely buying a more powerful leaf blower maybe at the end of the season when they go on sale. Dh has been mowing & mulching them up. He says it's easier than raking so I just let it be. Lol This morning ds made a Christmas list which was also my way of practicing writer's workshop that he does at school. sounding out words that don't have to be spelled right, just making them aware of what sounds they make/writing the corresponding letters, etc. First year we've ever done it. So cute ❤
AW my little st Nick girl, munching her sandwich, waiting for the 'real thing'. We waited long, it was cold, but she got a handshake from the man himself atop his horse, so that was cool. It's crazy how excited she is. Put her shoe out (equivalent to the hanging of stockings) last night and sang songs for half an hour, dancing around. She slept well, after that.
I may or may not have had a cookie for breakfast. Okay, it was two, but they were smallish. Going to my sister's in a while. Other than that, not sure what the plan is today. Might try to work on some projects again. LO also has a volcano in the making too that needs some adjustment before he can work on the next step since the tube for the lava keeps popping off, which would definitely be very bad.

We've been outside for what feels like forever. In the homestretch. The end is near with this leaf clean up. Can't wait for that super duper leaf blower next year. Wowza. So.many.leaves.

We went to church and Sunday school. DS is heading to a friends down the street and we will be tackling our leaves over here. Might still go for a hike in our local park but it depends on how ambitious SO and I are.

After leaves I decided to start to tackle the office. After many trips to the recycling bin it's now organized and ready for me to start on some scrap book projects for Christmas. Progress has been made at our house this weekend!

Does anyone have princess type castle toy recommendations? DS has expressed interest in one for Xmas & I don't even know where to start, there's so many choices.

I would maybe feel out what features he has in mind. Should it light up? Play music? Be playful type with a slide or swing or something (because I feel like I have seen ones like that - could be I am thinking of something else)? Come with accessories like furniture or a horse and carriage? Have particular rooms? Be based on any particular princess character? Etc.

cam he's so simple. He doesn't even know that some has features/differences, etc I think I'll select a few & show him online to get a feel for what interests him.
