Saturday! Yeah!

[carolyngrace]

LOL that reminds me of yesterday when I kept missing LO's giggles on camera. He stopped every time I pulled it out. So DH says "it's not real unless you get it on camera!!" C'mon we all know that is TOTALLY TRUE.

My sister's in town for the weekend which means my family goes non-stop all weekend. Watching my nephews play soccer, outlet mall, and dinner out tonight. Apple picking tomorrow.

Currently enjoying watching Mindy Project while Oscar takes his morning nap. We'll join everyone else after this!

[erbear]

We are going to the pumpkin patch tomorrow and it's so cold that LO will not be posing by pumpkins in her cute little Halloween outfit. Oh well!

We might go to the BRU first Halloween event today and we might get some groceries and craft supplies. We're making footprint/handprint pictures for her grandparents today - her feet are ghosts and her hand is a spider. I found a ton of cute ideas using hand and footprints for Christmas gifts and I'm inspired!

[kemdupuis]

Since I am not in Boston, I am making DH and I breakfast and then we are going on a cave tour/hike in one of our local state parks. We've been wanting to do it for a long time, but never have a day to do it.

Tomorrow I am going to put something in the crockpot, and we're going to go on a family walk before football starts.

I am not cleaning the house at all this weekend because we have our cleaning lady coming for the first time on Friday! I can't wait.

Thanks for all of your support and encouragement in the FFFC thread ladies. I absolutely feel like I made the right choice. I got to have some 'me' time yesterday, and then when DH and B got home, we went out for a nice dinner and then came home to watch the first ALCS game and sleep. I don't feel like I am missing out. I am right where I need to be.

ETA: spelling. Mobile sucks.

[erbear]

I didn't respond, kemdupuis, but I've been thinking about you. I have to say, I'd probably have done the same thing. That's a long time without LO and it's stressful with the milk. H wants me to go to a murder mystery dinner an hour away next week and I'm still iffy if I want to be an hour away. I'd also have to pump in the car, and meh.

[mrsmonogrammed]

We have a birthday party today and the birthday girl (6) requested that all kids wear their Halloween costumes, so I'm excited to get DD all dressed up:)

Tomorrow outlet mall shopping I think. FX for ok weather....this morning it was 32 outside when I left for work!!

[carolyngrace]

@kej0004, I LOVE sorting my closet. I do it twice/year. And I have very orderly bins in my attic for off-season (and now maternity) clothes. I had so much fun getting DB's clothes ready, too, and now putting them in bins as he outgrows them! I'm also a big fan of giving stuff away that I don't wear. I like when everything in my closet is something of decent quality that fits me well.

[tiffbot]

We went to a friend's house to watch the Jays game last night. His place is about an hourish or so away but they are good friends and it's fun getting together!

Today we have a fundraiser supper to go to later. Otherwise, the rest of the weekend is supposed to be warm for Sask October so plan on getting some stuff done around home and maybe decorate some pumpkins!

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Sounds way better to me. I love Boston but hate bachelorette parties. And if it meant three days away from my little man I wouldn't be willing either. Also agree that it would make pumping an absolute nightmare.

Though I don't know how you can live without a New England fall football would not work for me otherwise!

New England fall was seriously the only thing that was making me excited for the trip. We'll be home for two weeks at Christmastime this year, but I haven't been home for the foliage in 5 years. I really miss it. I miss all the stuff that comes with it, too- apple picking, warm cider, the smell of damp leaves, wearing snow suits under our Halloween costumes haha. DH and I decided a long time ago that we will be moved back to the northeast by the time B is ready for school. So, 5 more missed falls, max.

[jessila]

kemdupuis I'm so glad to see that you have a cleaning lady coming!!!

We did the pumpkin patch yesterday. I'm going again tomorrow with my BFF...not sure if O will be coming with us since it's supposed to be cold.

O just went down for a nap. He didn't sleep quite as well last night. He's been extra fussy and a little warm temperatured for the past week with slight congestion and a very rosy right cheek. Wondering if the teething process is about to start.

So today I get to go to costco and I might clean my closet out after reading through everyone talking about it. I have a couple bags to take to goodwill so I should do that to get back space in my house.

We're at my parents house for the weekend since MH is in New Orleans. DD slept from 9pm-6am. I guess we'll just have to stay forever.

Can V and I come visit?

Me too!!!

[billyhorrible]

I'm in trial, so mostly working this weekend, but I told my boss I wouldn't be in till this afternoon so I could go to another Halloween theme park event with the family. And I told my secretary no more trials in October.

[txngrl31]

kemdupuis,Yall are down South, right? We are living in Boston, and I am hoping to move back to TX soon. So the direct opposite of you!! Hahahaha. If it makes you feel better about missing New England falls, just think, winter is right around the corner.

Since my parents are in town, DH and I had Mexican food and margaritas last night. Today, we are hitting up a fall farm and having lunch somewhere ....drinks included.

Tomorrow, I will put something yummy in cock pot and hang out by the warm fire and watch football.

[erbear]

We went to the BRU event!



We have some pouches for when we start food and a new MAM bottle and some wipes and other little samples! It was cute for free.

[sabrinaml]

erbear that looks like so much fun! I wonder if the BRU by me does this

[erbear]

All BRU had the event today at 11, from what I understand.

[ashbash]

Im in nap jail and my ass itches - pure torture :/

[Bluedaisy]

Took in a woman's show this morning then took lo for his first walk in the stroller. He loved it and is zonked now.

[wegrowsheep]

Kids are feeling good today, hooray!

I helped in DD's ballet class again this morning, and her teacher wants me to take over for her next year. Le sigh, if only I actually knew how to teach it. She's in her 70's, and doesn't do high energy like she used to, but she's such a lovely woman and a wonderful teacher. She was my teacher more than 20 years ago. But helping has been fun, and the "baby ballerinas" are so cute! And I need to lose 20 lbs, so says the wall of mirrors at the dance studio. Nothing like leggings to show off my baby weight/cookie habit.

Came home and started cleaning out part out the landscape. It was taken over by grass (which I killed, hello Roundup), and all the sod needs to be removed. With a shovel. In chunks. DS1 helped me and kept me entertained. I'm planting all the thyme and sage I grew and couldn't sell this spring, so it'll be functional, pretty, and fairly deerprooof.

DH and the kids are putting together his power rack in the basement while I feed T (and hold him while he naps). I need to do a water change on my fishtank tonight, after dinner.

Tomorrow is football at the inlaws, aka play with T and work on my knitting.

I'm laughing like a sixth grader at "cock pot" over here

Hahaha I don't blame you! Great error!

I've read this three times and still can't figure out what "took in a woman's show" means.

I went to the annual Woman's Show...just a big trade show with businesses women are interested in.

[erbear]

Went to our friends' housewarming party tonight. Funny how a few years ago, male friend was single and had crazy, drunken parties and now everyone had babies. Seriously, there were four babies there within two months of each other.

Any of you lovely canadians watching this Ah-mazing baseball game???

Nope, personally would rather watch paint dry.

[kemdupuis]

B and I at Cathedral Caverns State Park today before we hiked through a GORGEOUS cave complete with a waterfall and insane rock formations. We had an awesome time.

[billyhorrible]

7:30pm and I am still at work. I managed to pass on whatever I have to my boss and secretary, so they're both coughing and runny-nosed and I think mad at me. But my boss agreed he wouldn't have wanted me to stay home last week.

BH is currently passed out on the floor of my office.

[whoopsadaisy]

kemdupuis - you look gorgeous! Sounds like an awesome hike!

I love weekends! DH took care of LO and I slept until 12. Ahhhhmazing. We took a walk this afternoon and got apple cider at the market, went home and heated it up and spiked it with Apple brandy. Love today.

Joolschweets, it was actually a really intense game. Blue Jays were leading by 3 up until the 7th...then they fell apart. My H was going nuts, he yelled in excitement and poor baby M was so startled she started crying

We watched it all up until the 7th and we had to leave to get somewhere. H kept updating the score on his phone and it just kept getting worse and worse each time it updated! Boo

[musicfrk2002]

I could've sworn I posted earlier...apparently not.

J has some weird stomach thing going on. He hasn't been puking or anything, but the sounds coming from his intestines just don't sound right for the past few days. He is still mostly happy though, so it must not be bothering him too much.

We went to a friend's daughters 2nd birthday party today. J was pretty good during it and even somehow took a nap with all the noise.

I stuck him in his crib awake tonight just to see what would happen. He spun 180 degrees, then spit up but he wasn't crying or anything. Ended up rocking him for a bit until he was almost asleep, and he ended up falling asleep on his own after about half an hour. Not counting on that every night though.

H is headed to Wisconsin tomorrow for a board game event, so J and I are alone. I need to go grocery shopping for some things for monday, since I am doing a freezer meal workshop Monday night.

And boo, the cubs lost today.

[trixi282]

Today was a completely lazy day, and it was great! I left early from work Thursday and went straight to urgent care; 103° temp, and positive strep test.
So yesterday J went to G&Gs house and I kept E (since they're not quite trained on her feeding tube yet) and that was ok she's easy compared to a 3yo. So today I had both girls(HUGS was working again) and it went pretty well.

Luckily J kinda understands not feeling well, so we lounged and watched movies and Mickey most of the day.

Then we went to IL's house for dinner... and play some games with them and BIL/SIL before their vacation. Well be over there tomorrow to watch football, but I'll probably be working from home in the evening to make up hours from being sick, boo.

Maybe we'll do pumpkin patch next weekend....

Guys, it's snowing here. DNW.

Same. We just left the pumpkin patch/farm market because it was snowing. The cold was one thing, but ugh, snow.
