Monday Mentions

Hope everyone in the US in enjoying the longer weekend. Anyone got big plans happening today? How was the weekend?

I think I've mentioned it already, but today is sort of a "Catch my breath day". We had a really busy week and weekend. The garage sale was slow, but I made $50 so not a total failure. I'll try again in the fall.

Our small town had a local festival to celebrate it's founding. We went up a couple times and rode rides and ate carnival food. DD1 loved it and had a blast. DD2 just went along for the ride.

Yesterday was the family reunion which wasn't bad, but I'm glad it's over.

Well I had a baby, then I came home and today h is smoking a pork shoulder to make pulled pork sandwiches later with friends. So many people have been coming and going so hopefully after tonight the crowd will slow a bit and we can get into a new routine

Just hanging out at the community pool. It's a nice day and the pool isn't packed. Will head over to a friends later for a cook out.

Our pool just opened and I was thinking of going soon, but today is a day it will be packed. Lol

Dh is working for part of the day so I packed up the kids and we're at the park. It's 70ish and sunny, perfect. I haven't had any luck getting the baby to nap in the stroller, though, so she's Miss Crankypants.

Mini rant: parents need to parent more. There is some massive bullies here and parents who do nothing when it happens.

We had a pretty successful weekend of getting caught up on our to do list. We had a garage sale and got rid of a ton of clutter. Then we put most of the garden together, mowed the lawn, and painted DS2's new room. I really need to find a local babysitter because doing all of that with kids around is hard.

We've had a quiet weekend. Just the usual errands and chores. Yesterday we went to a BBQ at my mom's. DS was a pill and just wanted to hang out inside and watch TV. He wouldn't speak to anyone but us. I have a cold again and the weather's been pretty crappy all weekend so we're just hanging out today.

It's been a very relaxing weekend here. We picked up some flowers and planted them on Saturday. Yesterday we grilled steak tips for dinner, this morning h was all excited to make crepes, and then bacon cheddar burgers for lunch. The most cooking I've done was chopping strawberries and making salad. Ds has woken up pretty early the last 2 days, and too close to a motn feeding to be hungry so h got up with him both days.

It's raining today so we've mostly just been playing inside and keeping ds from harming himself.

Maybe drive by and check it out first? I think a lot of people are at family / friend pools and cook outs, because I would have expected a lot more people at ours as well. Ours opened last Wednesday I think and today was the first time I saw people using it.

We had a good long weekend. I made it to the gym twice so that's a personal win for me. Sarurday we hung out in the morning then met my parents and my brother and his family at Citizens Bank park for a Phillies game. DD loved it and we all really had a great time. Sunday we went over my parents for lunch bbq then DH dropped me at a bar to meet up with some girlfriends while he and DD napped. Today the weather is grey and rainy so we just cooked a big breakfast, hung around the house playing and coloring. I took DD out to do some food and house shopping and I'm making fancy steaks for dinner.

We had a quiet weekend. Took DS to the splash park on Saturday and it was packed, he was having fun then flipped a switch and threw a massive fit when I stopped him from walking in front of a swing. Yesterday we hung around at home and played with the neighborhood kids and went to the park

I had at least 3 people wish me a "Happy Memorial Day" today. Clearly they don't understand the meaning of the holiday, idiots.

We spent the weekend at MIL. BIL was here, which is always fun for the kids, they don't see him much but they do love him. He's really
Good with them. Took the kids to the petting zoo yesterday. Today it's raining so we just hung around the house, went to pick out paint colors at the hardware store, had lunch at TGIF and now we're on our way to the Restoration Warehouse Sale. Hoping to score a cal king bed for 90% off, probably wishful thinking especially since we're gonna get there for the last 30min of a 3 day sale.

Saturday I did a 10k in the morning (PRed!) then we went up to the cabin where DD already was with my mom. There were 8 dogs there, normally only two, ours got into a fight with another dog and spent most of the time in a camper locked up. I felt bad for her and nobody else made an effort to help us get her out more. We made the most of our 24 hours up there. DH took DD fishing and she caught her first fish. Sunday we came home at lunch time. Brought our new boat home with us so we spent the rest of Sunday cleaning it up. Today it was rainy so we bummed in the house and I did laundry and cleaning. We did make it to the park for 20 mins before it poured again.

Saturday morning, we went with my brother and SIL to do 3D/4D pictures of my nephew. It was pretty neat. Normally I find those pictures a little creepy, but I guess it's different when it's your family. We then went to a cookout in the afternoon. Sunday we hung in the house most of the day because it was way too hot outside, but the pool is still too cold to get in. On Monday we went to another cookout. I got to hold a 3 week old baby. I forgot how little they are. G loved him. She kept rubbing his head and saying he was so cute and tiny
