Saturday

What's everyone got going on this weekend?

[hikingmama222]

No solid plans all weekend which is amazing! Weather is supposed to be great as well!

Heading to the bank shortly! My mom mentioned coming over this afternoon so hoping she'll watch the kids and DH and I can go for a motorcycle ride! Need to get a run in at some point as well.

My parents are visiting for the weekend, so I hope to be offline until Sunday night. DS1 has a tball game that I'm looking forward to today. And cooler weather!

I don't check in for a few days and come back to find us on Scary Mommy. If we are going to hop from forum to forum could it maybe be time to make a private group on Facebook? We know Facebook isn't going anywhere anytime soon. I'm already friends with sanibel21 on Facebook.

I was best friends with the toilet last night, so I'm laying low today. DH got up with the girls and is now getting the baby to nap.

We have family pictures tomorrow so I hope nobody else gets sick.

Grocery shopping is the only thing I'm doing this weekend. I may attempt to clean my house a bit but that's it! Looking forward to some downtime.

[macaronmama]

fem Oh no! Hope you feel better soon.

Having a girls night in at my place tonight after DS goes to bed. Just some snacks and a movie but should be nice.

DH and I are on our way to Wegmans with DS for groceries then home in time to Skype with my dad. No other big plans. We may decide to go hiking tomorrow but depends on weather and how DS is doing mood wise.

[fem]

macaronmama we always Skype with the grandparents on weekends too.

fem I'm sorry you're not feeling any better.
penguin129 we didn't really talk about FB but on the private board we've exchanged some other social media info.
My brother has been here, so we've been visiting. Had lunch down by the water. Girls are napping now. I'm going to the postponed psychic medium tonight.

Ohh you have to report back after you go to the medium!

Hey ladies. My ILs' 50th anniversary party was today and they were so surprised. My sweet MIL burst into tears and was basically sobbing for the first 5 minutes. It was nice.
I made the chocolate oreo cake and it was SO FREAKING GOOD. I got a lot of compliments on it. I will most definitely make that cake again. It was so easy and just delicious. I think next time I'll change up the butter to shortening ratio in the frosting a bit (more butter/less shortening), but it was yummy as is.

DS just went to bed a few minutes ago - he was so tuckered out after such a long day. I'm bringing the girls up to bed in a bit and then DH and I are popping open a bottle of wine. We stopped at a huge liquor/wine store on the way home that's not too far from our house, and bought a bunch of new wines to try. It's going to be hard deciding which one to open.

Here's the cake I made.

It seriously tasted like an Oreo in cake form. The cake was dark chocolate and so moist, and the frosting tasted so much like Oreo creme filling. It was very rich, but sooo good. 

fem- I hope you're feeling better now! 

macaronmama - I hope you're enjoying your girls' night. That sounds so nice! 

DH and I are started watching season 3 of Catastrophe and just cracked open bottle of wine #2. After today's busy day, it is wonderful.

We are having a great trip!

[fem]

Ugh on all the cake talk.

Just kidding, it does look delicious even if it would cause me some serious hurt right now.

sanibel21 - How was the medium??

[macaronmama]

jwinct, that cake looks amazing. I love all things oreo.
becole Looks fun, where are you?

Girls went well. We watched Bridget Jones' Diary, which I had never seen before and my oh my, the awkwardness just about rendered me speechless.

We are working on DS getting up on knees today. He's almost figured it out, he can lift his stomach off the ground. He's super fussy about it. He's already rocking back and forth like his knees are under him and not understanding why he can't move forward. Supah cute.

It was very interesting and very intense. If there is a such thing as mediums, I believe this girl was legit. Confident but not cocky. Not coercing to believe or anything. Hit on a looooot of specific things. Missed some things too. Didn't push but didn't back down or change what she said to fit what was right. Hard to explain. I think she does this with the best intentions. She seemed to be able to reassure a lot of us about particular struggles we're dealing with. And was very all about this is your life your journey you're doing it right it will all make sense someday. If I get a minute I'll post specific stuff on the private board.

We're in Gatlingburg macaronmama
