Well, our weather isn't looking too good. Rainy/windy, upper 50s. And, normally J has Saturday off but has to work this one along with her normal Sunday long shift.

boo.

However, tonight I invited my family and a few of our new friends,w babies to carve pumpkins! Should be fun, though I'm not sure whose,all coming. We are going to do ours ahead of time so there's lots of space. I think I'll make chili for it too. Easy!

Otherwise, we host our PEPS group on Wednesday (7 couples plus their newborns and the facilitator, one couple is out of town) and I have,to fix dinner for everyone! I'm planning on cheating: J serves BBQ pork and brisket at her shops. I think I'm going to be a mess of meat and those little Hawaiian buns to make generously sized sliders...but I need to plan that plus get some things done around here! Some piles have accumulated that I swear I don't even see anymore!!

I'm also working on a packing checklist for our trip to Boston & PA...thankfully it turns out they sell stuff there...so if we forget stuff the world won't end. I may Amazon myself things to our hotel too.

One fun thing is in the books for Saturday. My friend is obsessed with honey and he's having a honey tasting fundraiser for some bee farmers who lost everything in this summers' wildfires. There will be 165 honey's to taste, though my head feels like it'll pop off from the sugar after about 10. Still it is fascinating the range of flavors!!

So basically I am tasking on the home front, catching up on my DVR, and prepping for big stuff coming in the next two weeks!

QOTW: Our family always did stockings on St. Nick's day, Dec. 6. It was an awesome 'teaser' before Christmas. I totally plan to do them for S but J also want to have Santa do them again on Christmas...which is fine by me!! My one sister told me the other day how she'd always wished they'd magically refill on Christmas! My other sister is knitting S her stocking which is awesome.

Tomorrow we are taking Will to the Philadelphia Zoo! I am super excited! My MIL is going with us. Will is going to meet a giraffe named Gus - there will be pictures!

Sunday will be grocery store, errands and cleaning. Maybe an outdoor lunch and Will taking a long afternoon nap on me in the glider.

We still haven't painted the pumpkins we got at the pumpkin patch a couple of weeks ago... so I would love to find time to do that too, but I won't push it...

QOTW: I think I am going to be a total Christmas fanatic this year! I found a Things to Do in Philly at Christmas website yesterday, and now I am obsessed with doing ALL the things! This website tells me that there are 62 days until Christmas. Holy cow! I may have been so excited when I discovered this that I emailed our family and planned a big Christmas day in the city on December 13th. We are going to the Macy's in the city and walk through the Dickens Village on the 3rd floor, then check out the Christmas Village across from City Hall. And I am kind of obsessed with planning Will's first visit to see Santa. Yep, I might be out of control.

Tomorrow we are going to a pumpkin patch with L's besfriend and her new lady. We haven't met the new lady yet. Should be interesting. Later that night we are going to L's parents house for dinner. Her brothers and their families won't be there so it will be a nice, quiet and relaxing night!

Sunday we are having our lazy relaxing day at home watching football. After the Bears play we will be packing and cleaning our condo so we can take pictures and get it posted online!

QOTW: The day after Thanksgiving L and I go with all her family to a Christmas tree farm and cut down our Christmas tree! They have been doing this since L was little. I'm happy to be a part of it because I used to do it with all my family when I was growing up. It usually takes a few hours to pick the perfect one. Last year I was way off with measurements and had to cut a bunch off so it would fit in our house. We also decorate the house the same night. I also always go home to Oregon every year for Christmas, but this will be the first year I will fly home after Christmas so I can stay and spend it with L. Going to her family things. Since we have been together I haven't spent Christmas in Illinois. I'm excited!

We are headed up to IL for the weekend. We typically don't do much when we go there. J just hasn't seen her dad and brothers in a couple months so it was time for a weekend trip....

That means after work today I have to go home and clean up the house. I can't stand leaving for the weekend knowing the house is a mess. I don't plan on deep cleaning but I have laundry, dishes, and some vacuuming to do! Then hopefully J will get home at a reasonable time so we can hit the road at a decent hour!

I'm looking forward to all the holidays! I just like long weekends and spending time with my family.... Doesn't matter which holiday it is!

FSBC · October 2014

S starts her shots on Sat so depending on how that turns out, we may or may not be doing much at all. I am thinking a relaxing weekend in is just what we both need after the week that we just had.

Nov-Dec is my fav time of year. The holidays just make me feel light and if possible, a little nicer. Black Friday always pulls me in and I love it. We are trying to decide if we want to run away for Thanksgiving...I think we are waiting to see how the transfer goes before we nail something down. S's ER is scheduled for 11/5.

mrs&mrsk · October 2014

We are going to Foxwoods this weekend to win some $$!!

LOL

it's a belated trip for DWs bday and probably our last w/o a LO

We got tixx to a (fake but still lots of prizes) Price is Right show and Bingo !

Sooooo excited

After this, our weekends are hypnobabies classes & some light construction on the house & holidays & getting ready for baby stuff.... the next 3 1/2 months are gonna fly!!!

QOTW-- BLACK FRIDAY!!! I just hope im not to big/ tired to do it this year. Especially since it falls on my birthday

ATXmommas · October 2014

So, this may be the weekend we end up at the pumpkin patch, but maybe not because there is a Halloween Festival that we want to go to tomorrow afternoon. The downside is that the high is 89 and will be too hot to keep Ash in his costume.

We have other friends who are going and it will be fun nonetheless. Z wants us all to run in the morning and then go to pumpkin patch before the festival, but that all seems too much for me for one day. We'll see. Sunday will be our usual - run, brunch, grocery, and cook.

QOTW: We don't travel for Thanksgiving and none of our family lives here, so we typically spend Thabkagiving as a small family. Before Ash we would spend the day at a friend's, but it was mostly for adults without kids, so lots of drinking. Just not the vibe I want Ash to associate with holidays. I look forward to cooking us a little vegan feast even though it's a lot of work. My mom and stepdad might be here, which would be great. I'm most looking forward to Christmas and starting to establish our own family traditions.

AandStilltrying · October 2014

We are going wedding band shopping because 1 week from Monday we will be officially legally married in NC! I proposed to her, so now I get my ring and I'm super exited about it!

We are also hoping to do a little baby shopping and look at strollers and car seats.

Halloween: 1st baby shower back in wv that sat.

Thanksgiving: last trip home before babies are born!!! Complete with Black Friday shopping with the BFF!

Christmas: Sarah's family will be at our house. We've never had Christmas at our house so this is a first. Feeling VERY sad about not being with my mom.

bfonz619 · October 2014

We start inseminating tonight and have left the weekend open for this as well. We are invited to a costume party tomorrow night and are still debating whether we want to go or not. Other than that, household chores such as laundry and dusting. We are quite the party animals I yell ya!

ETA: @crazyaunt84 FX and GL all goes as planned at your appointment.

@jrtmom, I'm totally making it with money for our PEPS meeting! Moved housecleaner up a day, and ordered BBQ from J's cafe. Just have to make cookies, and get drinks and plates, etc
set up. And chairs from the basement

. Got your email, let's get together soon!

Jazibel · October 2014

Today was so hectic, the weekend promises to be more of the same. I am officially so excited about our catering company. We have a kids bday party coming up this weekend, and I've been working on all kinds of projects to solidify the business structure. It's so exciting to talk to our clients about future events and see that our company has a chance of growing. I've been kind of on a high I'm so thrilled. Alas I need a mother's helper or babysitter because working from home is still working, and watching the kiddos simultaneously won't be feasible once we get busy (which I hope we do).

Today was a day of running around shopping, etc. with kids in tow. R brought his 2 year old son (nicknamed) Zozo; Kaden and he shared a shopping cart and had a blast! So cute. Tomorrow morning I meet friends at the park to give EV some quiet homework time. In the afternoon we drive two hours north to a friends wedding. Sunday I work with R at the kids party in SF. EV will watch the kiddos.
