Re: Happy Friday! Plans for the w/e?

  • Happy Friday ladies!

    So happy it's the weekend.

    Tonight DH and I are cashing in a giftcard to our favorite restaurant, but we're just getting the meals to go to keep it easier with LO. We also have a ridiculously good bottle of wine to have with dinner, I"m salivating at the thought and have been all day.

    Tomorrow my friends from college are coming in. I should be more excited about this but I confess I'm not. We've been SO busy the past several weeks, I would much rather be home with DH and LO :/  Plus, they keep kyboshing every idea I suggest which annoys me. I should be a better host and be more accomodating but truthfully I don't get out much and I kind of want to maximize the night!

    Sunday DH is leaving for another 3 day trip. BOO. Big time.

    QOTW - LO has AMAZING big, blue eyes that have not turned yet - I"m crossing EVERYTHING that she keeps them. Neither DH or I have blue eyes - but both of our fathers did/do.

    Have a great weekend all.

    QOTW: I have chocolate brown eyes, DH has hazel and Hannah has these amazing blue eyes (just like my sister and my father)

  • Change of plans this weekend.  We'll now be laying low and hanging around the house... which is ok with me!  DH has to work tomorrow but after that I'm hoping to get some family time in with no visitors and no where to go for once!  Maybe we'll go pumpkin picking on Sunday.

    QOTW:  DH has dark brown eyes, I have green/hazel eyes and DS has the prettiest of blue eyes!!  I'm so happy that they stuck - my little blonde haired, blue eyed Italian.  Both my Mom and MIL have blue eyes, so maybe that's where he got them from??
