Hello holiday weekend! Do you guys have any plans? Any trips? Yard work?
Re: Weekend Randoms 5/26!!!
@eerin86 do you normally have a Memorial Day party? If I remember correct you live somewhere cold in the winter so will the pool be warm enough to swim in at the party?
H and I just did a lot of much needed cleaning. No big plans for us. Tomorrow is our anniversary
Im cleaning and errand-running today and then going out to see DH’s band tonight while DS has his first sleepover at Grandma’s. I’m a little nervous but overall think he will be fine. I’m excited to not have to turn on a baby monitor tonight!
Tomorrow is church and probably starting to build DS’s gigantic swing set. We luckily got the yard work out of the way yesterday evening. Keeping Fx for no rain. Our neighbors are smoking a giant pork butt for pulled pork, which is awesome.
Monday we will have burgers and hot dogs on the grill and invited family and friends to stop by if they want. Not sure how many people will show!
@Wishilivedinflorida we also have a giant swingset to assemble and DH is smoking pork butts for the party! I don't think we will get to the swingset this weekend though
Monday we are going to a friend's for a party so it will be nice to take leftovers and just chill
Would anyone recommend/discourage compression socks for flying? I’ve been reading online that it’s helpful but my dr didn’t mention it so I know it isn’t necessary.
We are doing less party and lots of work. Today is supppsed to be the last day our deck is under construction. A 2-3 day project has turned into three weeks and budget explosion. But they are almost done!!!
DH power washed our outdoor furniture to put back on the deck once the paint fully dries, and washed DD’s outdoor water toys. So that’s great! We weeded our veggie garden, so we can transfer the veggies from their little indoor trays.
I shaved our standard poodle’s face and feet. Which makes our lawn look like it snowed cotton. He’s all clean looking now which makes me happy!
DD seems to be feeling under the weather so we’ll see how much family visiting we can do. Cranky toddlers are not fun. We were hoping to take her to the community pool tomorrow and Monday’s, but we’ll see.
Sounds like everyone has really fun plans!!!
They aren't that expensive and they can only help and not hurt. And if they don't help or if they bug you, you can always just take them off.
We've mostly just been running around since last night.
Happy anniversary @SkilledSailor!
@nackie Good luck with potty training, hope it goes well.
I’m flying this week to Cincinnati to see family for a few days and then to have a girls weekend with my best friends! I’m so excited. We do this once a year since we all live in different places. I’m also excited for my Mom and Grandma to see me pregnant for the first time!
While I’m gone, DH is painting the whole apartment and our bathtub is getting re-glazed and fixed up! I’m so excited to come back after that and really start getting ready for the baby!
And, @ashh2018 I wore compression socks (knee high) from target when I flew a few weeks ago and they really helped a lot! I will be wearing them again when I fly this week.
...Buuut DH has already committed to going back over to MILs to continue helping with the flood cleanup. :/ which means I'll probably end up going there too, and then that only leaves Monday. My brother's also texting me too, so we'll see if he ends up wanting to come down, then that means I've got to go to the store, (which will be mobbed), feed everyone, and just hang out and probably not actually get any of that house / nursery work done. :'(
ETA Oh! I meant to say before, Happy Anniversary @SkilledSailor ❤ Ours is coming up any day now, too!
@nackie & @stothi GL potty training!
@magnolia209 Oh my goodness I bet your family is SO excited to see you pregnant!
AFM: DD and I are having a girls’ weekend! We ran errands this morning, met some friends for lunch, went to a used book store and bought some books for DD and the baby, as well as a couple classic Disney movies, played some card games and are having a pizza/movie night. I’m looking forward to watching a chick flick by myself after she goes to bed! Tomorrow we’re going swimming with some friends and Monday MH will be back and we are grilling out with my family.

Today between rain showers we took dd to the beach to look for shells, in her rain coat and rubber boots. She had a blast. Tomorrow will be chilly, I think we’ll explore another beach, or fort or hike a trail full of fairy houses... then monday we head home. Dh will be a hot mess exhausted, we left as soon as he got home from work and he works again tuesday am, but, it’ll be worth it!

I purchased some maternity leggings from Gap the other day for $15 and they came in today and I'm glad I ordered two pairs.They are the most comfortable clothing ever. When I catch another sale, I'll be buying more.
It really is awesome. Even though we make fun of ourselves for all the luxury of it. We have a 26’ w one slide. The bathroom has it’s own door so you don’t have to track sand all thru the camper when kiddo has to pee, the wider style bunks, a mini tub w shower, oven, full mini freezer, n fridge, and a couch. Which was pretty much my bucket list for camper shopping. We got it at a steal as an older leftover model.
We have our days when we wonder if getting a tractor would have been more beneficial, but we never would vacation as much without it honestly. Now that we spent the $$ we are determined to make use of it!
Also, think long and hard about the vehicles you own and towing capacity... we wound up upgrading vehicles to make hauling it safer, and now are outgrowing that vehicle but are stuck getting somethinf still big enough to haul this beast. *eyeroll*

@eerin86 Hope you have a great time at your party today! Sounds like you have a wonderful space for hosting.
@ashh2018 How's the nursery coming along?
@businesswife Were you able to avoid getting roped into helping with MILs basement again?
@jhjocelyn That sounds like a nice camper! It makes total sense to have one so you can still travel and go on vacations while minimizing the risks to your DD.
Side note, DH gets himself worked up into such a lather over the dog hair. I mentioned on the other thread. So he was just in a horrible mood. He managed to do the thing that he was trying to fix, and now he's sort of calming down with the tv on, but oh dear Lord. I can't wait for our kids to have these tantrums and step back and just say, this is what you created. LOL I can't deal when he's like that. But luckily he tends to get over it pretty quickly, too.
...and now he's in here making us breakfast. ;)

We still have to get the extra twin bed dealt with so we can move our bed in here, (along with an actual mountain of linens), and phase one will be complete! Muah-ah-ahhh
I had a ton of clothing to go through. Ended up with four bags for goodwill, and a couple big stacks to save (both DH’s T-shirt’s that have sentimental value *groan* and my pre-preggo clothes that I’ll want again). Ended up getting them into space bags and ultimately one plastic storage bin!! We totally emptied out the hall storage closet, which turns out has a ton of storage space. DH is starting to go through his stuff - the guest room closet was floor to ceiling boxes of his stuff (collectible toys, sentimental family items, electronics, pure garbage that he won’t get rid of, etc) but he’s getting it into bins and we’re getting it into the storage closet out in the patio - which turns out is HUGE. I’m feeling a lot better about the project now that I see hope. Still gotta figure out how to sell/store the futon. Wow, sorry, didn’t realize how long this rant would be. I have a lot of feelings about the situation haha.
Sounds like everyone is having productive weekends
