I have a 3D ultrasound this evening, and we're taking DS1. We're also going to try to Skype DD so she can watch it from China.
Tomorrow, I have a 5k walk in the morning. I've worked it out to if I can't go on, I'll sit on a bench and wait for my mom to catch me on the return trip. I think we're also going to have a mini celebration for SO's birthday (which is the 23) because my parents will be out of town. I want to make fire starters, too: dryer lint, cardboard egg cartons, and candle wax. I plan to go camping while on maternity leave.
Bulky Item trash pick up is in 1.5 weeks, so I also want to clear out a lot of the junk lying around the house. Especially with DD not here to say NOOOOO I might need that later!
@FyreFlyeRush I love purging the house of junk! It’s so refreshing lol.
Itll be a low key weekend here. We are heading to a fall festival tomorrow. I told Dh I just want to go on the hay ride, pick a pumpkin, some mums and eat a funnel cake. We will go first thing so hopefully it won’t be too busy and ds will be able to do the kids activities.
On Sunday I really need to work on our Halloween costumes. Ds insists we all be “spooky ghosts” this year.
@FyreFlyeRush I am proud of you for going on a 5K walk. I do not have that kind of stamina right now. Also, I am your DD. I have such a hard time purging. I always think "I might need that later"
@kbrown2385 that Fall festival sounds fun! I need to look to see what's going on around my area other than the pumpkin patch. Spooky ghosts sounds like a fairly easy costume at least! But I would just do the sheet thing lol
Very low key weekend here. We got several new furniture pieces delivered the other day so now I need to put everything in its new home and haul away the old, cheap furniture pieces. Then I will finally finish fall decorating to make my house look cute. That's literally all I have planned lol
@peppyj9 I haven’t even gotten my fall decor tote out of the crawl space yet 🤦🏻♀️. I thought making ghosts would be easy but every pic I show ds he tells me it’s not spooky 🙄😒. Why does my 4 year old have such an opinion already??
@kbrown2385 , I'm there with you on decorations. I decided to completely skip fall and just go for Christmas. I just need to get SO to go get the lights down and I'll hang them. Everything will be ready for Nov 2!!!
@kbrown2385 - I finally got in the fall mood this week when the temperature dropped. I put up my fall wreath, fall hand towels, and switched out my flowers for leaves in the vase on my table. I even did a leaf rubbing with DD! I think I just needed some nice weather to get things going. Funnel cakes and a hayride is a must when we go to the pumpkin patch. I also enjoy the corn maze and watching DD pick out a pumpkin. She tried to pick up the largest one last year when she was only 13 months 😆
@FyreFlyeRush - Have fun with you 3D ultrasound! I've never had one but they look cool.
@peppyj9 - I'll bet you are so excited for your new furniture! Hallmark moment of adulting right there.
@kbrown2385 that's funny. I wonder what he's picturing in his little mind. What if you splattered three costume with fake blood? Would he think that's spooky enough?
@marebear15 it is! Lol. I feel so grown up 💁♀️ sounds like your place already looks nice for Fall! 🍂
Car show on Saturday, second to last one of the season that we plan on going to. And that's all I got so far. I'm trying to convince hubby that we should carve pumpkins with our friend on Sunday. We shall see how that plan goes.
We have dh’s cousins wedding tomorrow which Im looking forward to and cant be arsed with in equal measure. So going to have my hair & make up done in the morning so I at very least look like a nicely painted whale lol Dd is staying with my parents so we’ll come back sunday & collect her. other than that, not much happening here.
I wish my weekend plans sounded interesting lol. Most of it includes getting some work done for my classes so that my week is less hectic and resting a bit. Maybe Sunday I'll go visit a friend to watch football and of course do some knitting!
Posting this on a Saturday, but got out of work early yesterday and ran a bunch of errands before going to a sign painting party with my sister and niece. It was really fun, but my stomach was having pains the rest of the day that were starting to become concerning so I decided to take it easy today because I think the pains were from over doing it yesterday and rushing around. They weren't BH or contractions, but just kind of a quick sharp pain that would have random onsets. It wasn't enough to make me call my Dr and he's moving around in there frequently, so I know he's ok.
So far it's been better today and I haven't really had any, but also I've only been in bed then moved to the recliner downstairs. 🤣 There's an antique market at the fairgrounds that I was really wanting to go to today, but I'm gonna pass and maybe will hit it up tomorrow instead if things stay calm today.
Adding a pic of my sign I painted that'll go in out bathroom. It was funny because it was a group of church ladies that go to the same church as my sister, so everyone's signs (including my sisters) were religious or family/love related and then there was mine. 😬🤣
@FyreFlyeRush Enjoy your 5k walk this morning! I hope the weather is nice for you.
@kbrown2385 Oh, funnel cake sounds heavenly! My glucose screening is Monday so I am trying to behave yet of course craving all things dessert currently.
Today was DD’s first swim lesson without a parent in the pool with her. She did so well and put her face in the water without hesitation! I can’t get over how grown up she’s getting.
While she napped, I went to Target and organized the pantry (so gratifying), then we went to a local farm and DD and I cuddled all the animals. There were 2-day-old lambs that were utterly adorable.
Tomorrow we’re going to the NFL game, so that will be a big chunk of the day.
@EmilyE13 That must have been such a cool moment to see your dd be in the water without you! I am still in the water with my dd (and have never let anyone else be with her - to be fair no one else wants to...)
@kbrown2385 dd is also particular about decorations, which annoys me to no end because I don't do decorations at all. Who knows, maybe I will have to change my ways.
This weekend we are "trying" to take it easy, but that is a little hard when you live with a little tornado. I'm hoping some outside time while I weed the yard will use some of her energy.
After we are going to a race car museum today and so dd and I are pretty psyched about that.
Then we are going to bake our sourdough bread and pizza.

ETA the app screwed up my post.
Sounds like a ice Weeke d for you, too
