Just curious about what everyone is up to this weekend?

Re: What are you up to this weekend?
Tomorrow we are meeting with a potential nanny. Our first choice found another family, though there was nothing wrong with our second choice (first choice spoke Spanish which we liked), so we do that tomorrow. We are also checking out two small daycares over the next few days.
Last, to my shock and horror, my annual physical produced some concerning blood work in terms of cholesterol, etc. WTF!? So I want to get stocked up for my WW full-court press between now and Christmas. No slacking anymore
Simone is 100 days old today! Look at this "selfie" J took last night!
Me (43) and J (45) - same sex couple. And we don't feel 40+!

Currently lying in bed with the covers up to my ears--it is dark, windy, and chilly on Oahu today.
I was already up to change W's diaper from a sudden T-day bum rash due, I think, from eating 3 bananas. While we ate real food. He was a wreck. Anyway, so new diaper and a cup of milk for him and back to bed for me!
DW is doing well (50+ days left!) and I'm stoked about the new baby. Thankfully she is still up for watching W while Big Kid and I go to the barn, where I teach thereputic riding lessons and DD gets to ride. Very good times.
Then we might go get a local Christmas tree and decorate. For those of you who know Oahu, there is a local tree grower near the Dole Plantation. Can anyone say "Dole Whip?"
Sunday is a work day for me, but I work at our church so my whole family comes and it is crazy and strange.
Good fun all 'round. I think I have to get to the beach this weekend. You would think we go all the time, but we don't, because we are busy working and going to practice, etc. the nice thing is if you want to go and have an hour, you pretty much can have 50 minutes of beach time. It is good for my brain to stand on the edge of the ocean and gain some perspective. Waves are big right now, so I probably won't even go in.
That's my news! How about you @Jazibel?

@2MamazInSeattle - What a gorgeous lil' cherub.
Not much going on today, just entertaining myself with the laundry (it doesn't take much to amuse me these days) But tomorrow, I plan on surprising A when she gets home from work with a batch of speculaas biscuits (continental Christmas cookies) and maybe some gingerbread, if I'm in the mood. In a small flat, the smell of fresh baking gets into every room and really gets us in the mood for some seasonal fun. After that, chances are it won't be long before the tinsel comes out.
