Parenting after a Loss

What did you do this weekend?

What fun autumn-y things is everyone up to? I love babies in pumpkin patches this time of year... I'm a little bummed that we've planned our annual visit for 27 October, so our pumpkin doesn't rot before Halloween. I'm ready for fall fun now!

Re: What did you do this weekend?

  • We had a busy weekend! Saturday late morning we hit our farmers'market for their garlic fest. Lots of yummy garlicky food! Then we took a trip to the dairy farm for milk and eggs, and took Ben to "feed" the goats, horses and sheep. He loved it! Saturday afternoon and evening, we walked in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's fundraiser walk, Light The Night. I am our team captain, and we had about 30 people walking with us. We walk in memory of my mom. Today was church, my deacon's meeting and then wrapping baskets for our big tricky tray basket raffle on the 19th. Then grocery shopping and dinner. Now we're relaxing. Next weekend we hit the pumpkin patch! Can't wait to take about a bajillion pictures!

  • I painted the nursery! I know, she's 9 months old already. DH hates to paint so the job falls to me and I hated the color in DS' nursery 4 years ago. It was a mistake and DH wasn't going to redo it so I had to put up with this peachy beige color for this long. DS was moved to a downstairs bedroom on Friday and I went to work on the nursery.  I was home alone with her all weekend as the guys went out of town and she took the longest naps ever, I painted when she napped and I am pretty much done with the room except the door needs another coat. The walls are kinda gray, cherry furniture and I got the valance and a crib sheet from the CoCaLo Daniella line. Then we ran to Target for this wall decal that is a tree with pink flowers. She'll be moved in by next weekend, partly due to letting the paint fumes dissipate plus she'll need to be sleep trained once again so I rather not be even more of a zombie at work if we moved her in there tonight.

    We were out of town for a wedding. The kids had a great time staying at a hotel.  The wedding was fun but the best part was watching our boys dancing and playing in their suits..
