We're sitting up in bed with coffee. It's only 7am here in CA, we've been up for about an hour though. M is watching YouTube kids.
It looks like a pretty day outside! MH has a school event with his oldest all day, and E's last little league game is this evening. So it will be a somewhat busy day. Looking forward to doing nothing tomorrow.

Having people over tomorrow so I went grocery shopping last night and did all my baking/indoor cooking by 10am.
On the menu:
SNACKS: Rose sangria, 7 layer dip, chips, hummus, carrot sticks.
DINNER: hot dogs, buns, pasta salad, smooth gazpacho.
DESSERT: chocolate cupcakes
I forgot to buy beans and buns, so I'm making them both. The hot dog buns look adorable.
I've never made refried beans OR 7 layer dip. Any tips? Everyone loves that shit, huh.

Package of taco seasoning. Then lettuce, cheese, tomato, olives, whatever you like.

We went on a long walk this AM before it gets hot-- supposed to be very warm this wknd. We might go to the pool tmrw if it is sunny.
MH has a social event for work tonight so I'm on my own for dinner/bedtime/etc. I'll probably pour myself a drink and do some work after I put DS down.

We went to the boat and cottage show this morning and got to sit on lots of very expensive boats. Had some ice cream, played at the beach. We're all home and napping or cleaning. Tomorrow we're having a family reunion with my mom's side of the family. I need to go get something to make since it's a potluck. I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of my cousins and their kiddies. We really, really need to get some air conditioners installed this weekend.

Mh is still OOT. So I treated the girls to breakfast out this morning, then went to the wal marts for pool shoes. The boys shoes were 1/2 the price of the girls shoes, so I sold the dinosaur shoes as rainbow dinos and the girls love them.
Now we are watching Cars as a "rest" before the pool. Totally forgot to make dinner plans. Oops.

Totally forgot to make dinner plans. Oops. I was also just realizing I have no dinner plans. I have some apple/maple chicken breakfast sausage, so I may try to do a breakfast for dinner scenario with eggs/toast/sausage.

There's a raging wind here today so we won't be doing anything outside. We went to the farmer's market this morning and then did some things around the house that we keep putting off. I invited my parents for dinner tonight--stuffed pork tenderloin and a plum rum cake for dessert--so I have to go grocery shopping.
Last week our winter tires, which we keep up on a high shelf in the garage, fell down (shelf broke) and crushed our lawnmower and broke the windshield on our car. We replaced the windshield already but we'll shop for a new lawnmower tomorrow. A pretty mundane weekend over here!

I took r to another kid's birthday party this morning. DH was supposed to come too but I had to take him home because we found out that a package coming today required a signature and he needed it for tomorrow. Lame.
But I think he's taking R out somewhere tonight and probably taking him on a road trip tomorrow to pick up something for a friend. So I'll get to stay home and finish some last minute stuff beforehand MIL comes and organizing for baby.

I had to work today, and dh is working for a friend about 2 hours away, so my mil came here and picked up the kids. Since both dh and I had to leave so early, she stayed at my house until the kids got up and had breakfast. I picked up the kids, and got home to realize that I forgot to tell my mil yo only lock the bolt (electronic) not the door knob since we keep forgetting to put the key on my keyring. We never use the door knob lock so we don't think of it. So when I got home, i was locked out. I managed to pop a screen out of a window that was only 3/4 of the way locked and wiggle the window until the lock popped open! I broke into my own house and I feel pretty good about it haha.

DH is working, but I'm hanging out with my mom, aunt, and my cousin's kid. Tomorrow my cousin and her little boy are going to join us and I'm sure we'll have a ton of fun!

I did as much hiking as possible but it was tough at 7m pregnant. We spent so much time at Sand Beach and ate soooo many blueberries on our way up Cadillac Mountain. We ate happy hour oysters at McKays Public House and reeeaaallly good cocktails at Lompoc's. We kayaked and deep sea fished in the ocean and rode bikes along many, many miles of carriage trails. We even mini golfed and walked along the beach of the Bar, like good tourists. Damn that trip was awesome.

I'm watching Homeward Bound with L tonight and I had to lock my dog in the other room because she can't stop barking at the animals on tv.

Went on a hike this afternoon, 5 miles at a local state park. Then we stopped by the 5th birthday party of a local brewery and had taco truck food and some beers. Tomorrow a couple of friends are coming over to grill and swim and watch soccer and one friend who is coming is going to bring her sewing machine and we have a couple of projects to work on Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Damn that trip was awesome. The blueberries aren't ready yet.🙁 We did get in lots of hiking and letting the kids climb in the rocks, played in the rain on sand beach, took a million pics of thunder hole, had Altlantic brewing Co. Blueberry ale while listening to a not great cover artist, and did the required touristy shopping, lobster boat watching, and sandbar walk. stringy I did think about you as I drove through...we didn't stop though, my ILs were on a mission to get to Tarrrytown, NY in time to go on a Ghost tour of the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.
