First weekend in the new apartment. My dad is staying until Sunday:) He only lives about 30-40 mins away but I rarely ever see him since he lost his license. So hopefully doing something fun with him and all LO today! Then tomorrow going to a family dinner at my parents(foster parents) house.
We have a close friend who is getting engaged AND married today. I'm interested to see how this plays out.
I wanted to take T to a pumpkin patch, but Hurricane Patricia has the weather screwed up. Sad day. However, my interrupted plans pale in comparison to the destruction they are probably facing in Mexico, so I shouldn't complain.

Out to breakfast with H and DD which makes my heart happy because it's a Saturday morning tradition we intend to keep going and I know one day my kids will treasure these memories:)
Afterwards we're in for some really fun times...grocery shopping and maaaaybe a trip to target. Ha!
Tomorrow- Sunday dinner at my grandparents (also a tradition!) and then hitting kohls- I have a 30% off coupon and $15 in rewards that I obviously can't waste;)
Today we're going to a walk to support my dad's best friend since childhood who has ALS. He's deteriorated quite a bit since last year, and every year more families walk "in memory" instead of "in honor". It's a very emotional day, but looking forward to seeing family.
No idea what we're up to tomorrow.
That's tough, but I'm sure it means a lot that you guys are going! Hope you guys have some decent weather:)

Last night as I was lying in bed my laptop charger sparked and then broke in half. So DB and I are headed to the Apple Store this morning. Will probably get some coffee and walk around the area as well. DH works on Saturdays. Also, I have my fourth and final baby shower of the season today.

I'm picturing this as a parallel to the movie wedding crashers-

Please explain how a person can get engaged and married in one day?
Woohoo my mom is here! We're getting tons done and then today I FINALLY get to get my hair cut. I haven't had it done since about March. Tonight I'm going to Rocky Horrow with ten friends and we're in the participation zone!! Tomorrow is my birthday and DH is taking me to see a production of Fame and then out for dinner at the Keg. Then we will come home for cake.
This morning I'm at the Dr to get antibiotics to get rid of this stupid sty. The ointment apparently wasn't enough. Then I'll be off to my mom's with J to get J's costume fixed. Tomorrow we're going to an early dinner to celebrate my grandparents 65th wedding anniversary. Can you imagine?

+1 to explaining! Do both of them know they are getting engaged and married today, or is someone in for a really big surprise?
DH is working today, so it's just E and I. We are going to go visit my brother that nobody in my family has seen for maybe 6 years now. He decided in his teens that he didn't want anything to do with family and he left to live with friends. Since then, we've only had vague ideas at best of where he's been. He contacted one of my sisters last year and gave his phone number but still didn't want to see anyone. I texted him on his birthday and after talking for a bit told him I would like to see him. He actually said he would love to meet his nephew! So here's hoping he is ready to come back to being part of the family again. Tomorrow, if DH is feeling up to it, we'll go see his grandparents and celebrate their birthdays.
I need to know how someone can get engaged and married in one day, too!
Rough night for us last night. We're going to a Lego build event and a murder mystery dinner in Ohio (1 hour away) today. I am not looking forward to pumping in the car, but now I am suddenly excited about having time away from my tiny terror today.
+whatever to the engaged and married. If they both know they are getting married today, aren't they technically engaged to be married right now?
This morning H is reffing some jr high volleyball so we are going to go in and watch (or chase my toddler around the school) for awhile because I have cousins playing.
This afternoon we have friends coming over and they asked if we'd want them to bring sushi for supper! Absolutely yes! Football game to watch this evening but we are out of the playoffs so they don't really matter anymore.
+number for engaged and married in one day curiosity.
Bluedaisy Happy birthday tomorrow!!! Have fun at Rocky Horror. It's been probably 15 years since I saw it live.
BFF is here. O just went down for a nap. When he gets up we'll go to the pumpkin patch. She has to leave for work around 3 so after that I have no clue what I'm doing. DH has friends over too so I'll be alone with O. Tomorrow I think DH is helping his brother redo his basement after a pipe burst last weekend. I might go with him if my SIL, nephews, and niece are there. Otherwise, no clue.

Also very curious about the whirlwind engagement/wedding. We need more details gilder40!
Quiet weekend here. Might go for some groceries here in a bit but that is about it. I need to return a couple things to Target, but it is a long weekend for schools (teacher's convention) and I am scared to go anywhere near the mall!

ALS is a horrible disease. My friend lost her dad last year after he battled for 18 years with it.
This morning we're being lazy. ? In a bit, I'm going to get my act together and take ds to get new shoes. *stm tip- mom's of boys, make sure you always have more than one pair of shoes available. Boys are hard on their shoes and can go from perfectly fine to totally destroyed in one day.
Tonight our friends are having a pig roast and Bon fire and hayrides for the kids.

We're going to a birthday party this morning and doing a race as a family this afternoon.
Tomorrow we have another birthday party because October is birthday season. This one is at a pumpkin patch. We also really need to carve our pumpkins and decorate the house for Halloween.
Today = football, football, football, football. That's just what fall Saturdays are for in this house. Picking up DS1 from his dad later tonight. Probably make a Halloween cake recipe we've been wanting to do for a while after he gets home.
Tomorrow = Picking out and carving pumpkins. Winterizing the sprinkler system and swamp cooler. And pulling out the ground cover in our back garden area which is, apparently, as we just found out this week, toxic. Lovely

How come I've been telling myself for a month (if not more) that I need to go shopping for my own clothes and keep putting it off, but I could not need anything for J and go to 2 stores to buy stuff for her? Oh right, because I don't want to try stuff on to find out what size I am!

What kind of plant is it?
Mytrle Spurge but we thought it was hen and chick this whole time. It's all over the back of our yard as a ground cover.
About a month ago DS1 and two neighbor kids were handling it and woke up the next day with a rash and blisters on their arms and faces. The two days ago a mom in a local group posted a picture of her DD with the same rash along with a picture of the plant from their yard. She also thought it was hen and chick. Someone else corrected her and posted a link to an information page. It's actually very toxic if ingested and about 10 years ago the state actually started an active campaign for people to pull it up and replace it with other plants, in an attempt to erradicate it. It's just so prolific and invasive.
I'm just very glad we found out now, before next summer with P will be toddling around out in our yard.
Aw my college roommate just announced she's pregnant with #2 (her first is a first grader). Seeing little gummy bear baby makes me remember my first peek at my little gummy bear!

Taking kiddos (and dog) to hayride at a friend's farm this afternoon and birthday party at a tequila bar tonight. Needless to say my boots are on. Football tomorrow. Love the Wedding Crashers baby shower analogy @mrs Monogrammed. I'd rather poke my eye out with a pencil than attend a baby shower these days.
Last night as I was lying in bed my laptop charger sparked and then broke in half. So DB and I are headed to the Apple Store this morning. Will probably get some coffee and walk around the area as well. DH works on Saturdays. Also, I have my fourth and final baby shower of the season today.
+1 to a damn Mac charger sparking. This is seriously how they still make money off of you. Oh yes. I haven't gotten a new laptop in six years. But I've bought like 4 new chargers. Check your battery btw. When mine sparked it killed mine. I haven't had it fixed yet though.
My battery was already terrible! It lasts like 2 hours.
I spent the morning w the kids at my parents house by the beach. Right now I'm back at home and it's that magical hour when both kids are napping at the same time!
DH and I are going to a wedding this evening. I'm so excited to be out with just us and enjoying time celebrating with our friends. We have a sitter to watch both kids.
