The Weekend is Almost Over...

[penguin129]

How has your weekend been? 

We went on a 2 hr driving excursion in on the of the parks nearby yesterday. Last night DH took pictures of a family on the beach and then went and played video games at his cousin's house. DD and I are up, but DH is still sleeping. I'm making french toast for breakfast. Not sure what we'll do today.

We're getting to head out on a 14 hour road trip so I've been getting ready for that. Pulled out camping gear, SUV rental, sleeping bags cleaned.
We're heading down to the pool later with LO. Her first time ever!

@charlotte My grocery budget needs some work too. I need to be more careful about what we get. I love some oreos every now and then though.

Hey Gals. I need to overhaul my grocery budget too, but it's hard, especially shopping with the kid(s) in tow, to really shop sales and stuff. I also really like shopping at our local warehouse club because it's really clean and organized and you just can't beat the prices on things like crackers, nuts, dried fruit, cereal, toiletries, etc., but things add up REALLY fast there because they're larger quantities and I also always get in trouble with the prepared foods and stuff, because they all look so good and so easy for dinners, but they cost way too much.

Yesterday, we celebrated DD2s birthday with her Godparents, that was pretty fun. The only problem is that DD2 is having a really hard time with sharing right now, and she's pretty mean about it. She was basically following her "cousins" around and grabbing any toy they were playing with and yelling and them, and hitting So embarrassing. I don't know what to do.

It's been raining here like crazy, for like 24 hours, I'm really tired of it. Twice in the past 10 days, our sump pump has gotten stuck in the on position. DH said there isn't really a lot we can do other than keep an eye on it, and I'm just feeling frustrating and overwhelmed by all of the house crap lately.

My husband worked all weekend so I've just been trying to occupy a sick DD. She isn't too bad but her nose is constantly dripping and she's starting to get a cough. Plus it's been raining non stop since yesterday and half the time it's pouring. Last night we were under a flash flood warning and today we are still under a flood warning. I'm so over rain! Plus the water starting coming into the house and garage last night. We have a split level so the bottom level is getting it, so far it's just a puddle by the door but if it doesn't stop soon I'm sure we will have more.

I'm ready for this weekend to be over.

Ugh. Grocery budgets. I really need to get our grocery bill down, especially in the next year or so when we'll be buying food for three kids. Shopping at Aldi has helped a lot but I still buy our produce at other stores as well as toiletries and cleaning supplies. I'm hoping wherever we move next will have a good local farm produce delivery options.

We haven't done much this weekend. I'm mostly recovered from birth but still trying to take it easy. We did go to church this morning and it was really nice to see other people!

My friend and I started a Hike It Baby group and our first "hike" is Tuesday! We're meeting at a local park and walking a paved trail for about an hour before letting the kids play at a playground. I'm a little nervous about getting out with all three kids and walking that much but I'm so excited for our group to start meeting.

And AW warning: this little cutie is two weeks old today!

[ashiscute]

Omg honeylemon what a love!

We've had a low key weekend as well. I went out last night for a moms night and I had a good time but was sore and tired when I got home at 930. I have 4 weekends left between now and my due date and I hope we can get all the things done we want. But after how lazy I've been today I'm sort of getting nervous.

[honeylemon]

ashiscute, @charlotte, thank you! He's pretty amazing.

@charlotte, Hike It Baby has branches all over the country. You should see if there's one near you if you're interested!

honeylemon Thank you for the Hike it Baby link. I know it wasn't directed towards me, but it sounds so neat and I need to get out more.

It's been a crazy weekend. My oldest had her dance competition try outs yesterday morning, then we had or regular dance classes. I helped finish things up at my grandmas estate sale.

Then today we had some errands to do this morning. Then we attempted to try and reorganize a few rooms to make room for the new babies things. It's just a huge mess. Everything got like halfway done then it just stopped. I probably only have about 2-3 days where my husband will be off in the next 6 weeks until baby comes. I'm so stressed.

Anyone else watching the Harry Potter marathon on ABC Family today?

Ugh I'm sorry. Our weather sounds similar. It finally stopped here a couple hours ago.

We turned it on yesterday at 7am! DD (4) actually watched a decent amount of it this time around. She said she really liked Harry Potter. DS calls it "scary potter".

Me! I'm unashamed to be a big HP fan. Can't wait until LO is old enough to watch it with me. I am already planning for him to be a little Harry Potter this Halloween haha.

Oh my gosh. I now have 2 boys and a girl. I can dress them all up as Harry, Hermione, and Ron!


If only DH would let me. He's not a HP fan. Boo.

We watched some yesterday too. DS is 4 and still isn't super interested. His favorite part is when the chocolate frog jumps out of the train window in the Sorcerer's Stone lol.

This weekend has been hectic and completely different than planned with last minute stuff popping up left and right. I am having a small margarita (because I probably won't even finish a whole one before bed) before I jump in the shower. Hopefully LO will be ready for bed shortly after that. He fell asleep when he was running errands with my mom this afternoon, so it is anyone's guess how late he will be up (he doesn't usually nap anymore).

It finally stopped here too! Now it's not even 50 degrees out. Boo to rainy weekends!

This would make me sad.  DH is a huge Harry Potter fan too.  One of the few ways I got him interested in baby names this time was to look at a name list from Harry Potter.
