What is everyone up to? I’m having a beer and cleaning/organizing. I’ll probably take the kids to the library tomorrow, clean and set up the water table, and then take the big kid to a birthday party and see some baby farm animals. Exciting stuff.

I have tickets to see Sleep Token tomorrow night with my friend and SIL. We have lawn seats and the forecast is not looking good, so I'm very anxious right now.

My mom’s birthday is tomorrow but we’re celebrating on Sunday. I’ve got to go to the garden center for some plants so I can put together some pots/hanging baskets for her. I’ve also got to grab some clay pots for some sweet Mother’s Day pots for her and my SIL (I watch my niece and nephew so I’m making them with them next week). I’ll do one with DS2 (or have DS1 make it with him).
We also have DS1’s band banquet and I cannot believe the year is almost over. My oldest baby will be halfway through high school! Where does the time go?

DD’s soccer game was cancelled for tomorrow, because apparently we can drive in a storm, but other teams can’t.
DS also has a baseball game right before we’re supposed to get 4-8 inches of snow.
So I’m super happy and looking for snow clothes and door dashing baileys for my coffee. 😭

We've got a bunch of errands and stuff we need to get done this weekend. Later this afternoon my parents are coming over to hang out for awhile. We're going to have an early dinner at Chuy's with them to celebrate MH's birthday. I'm so excited for creamy jalapeno!!
🧺 laundry for now!

My DS2 really wanted to see The Fall Guy last night and it was a lot of fun. I insomnia watched Unfrosted on Netflix and that was hilarious. Now I have to make a bunch of Star Wars themed snacks bc it is May the 4th. I guess this weekend's theme is movies.

DD has a NJHS volunteer thing this morning. Her softball games were canceled due to the rain and I’m okay with that.
DH and I are cleaning up from our horrible no good very bad week. We had a squirrel chew through some plumbing and had a small roof leak with the 1100 days of storms last week. It all could have been so much worse but being an adult hasn’t been fun this week.

I finally agreed to let DD2 go to a sleepover party for her friends bday. I thought the party was tonight but just realized it was last night. I don’t know how I messed that up. I feel really stupid and DD2 is going to be so upset when I tell her that she missed it.

I saw a dad and his 2 young kids dressed up as Star Wars characters this morning at the grocery store. They were so cute and I couldn’t stop myself from saying “May the 4th be with you!” They smiled, I think they enjoyed someone noticing them. dc2london, what themed snacks did you make to celebrate? Our weekend plans started yesterday with mulching and replanting some perennials that didn’t survive the winter. loony hopefully any snow you get melts fast and you can get back to enjoying Spring sports. That occasionally happens here too. One year we got 15 inches of snow and then 10 days later it was 90 degrees!

DS had his first two all star soccer games this morning. They lost both, but both were close. There are some huge kindergarteners in this division. One more tomorrow morning.
Now we’re on to the nursery for plants for the front flower bed. I’m ready for it to not be a dirt pile anymore. 🙃

DD2 was so upset and cried when I told her she missed the sleepover. And then said I could make it up by buying her a quad. Lol, no.

You do realize the real way to make it up to her is by allowing her to throw a sleepover at your house, right? Your penance is to endure all the screaming and squealing and judgement of the girls you would have missed out on by sending her out to one (sorry!)

I’d rather buy her the quad lol.

I unexpectedly put an offer in on a house today! We were looking at a Reno but got stupid crazy high quotes and then our dream house came on the market, three blocks away so we’re still in my same amazing neighborhood. I’m fully expecting a bidding war and I don’t know that we’ll get it but I’m finding it hard to not be very excited!!
I am the most sad about giving up a 2.9% mortgage but when it’s all said and done, the move still makes financial sense. I want this house!!

We bought a new car yesterday. My old car was in the stone age compared to this new one, which I can control with an app! Technology is wild man.
I got a Carolla cross hybrid. I was really surprised my H was on board with a hybrid; I hadn't even really considered it. We got a liiiitttllle bit of a deal at my Hs shop but it's still a stretch for us and I'm a bit nervous. But I love it.

I came back from a run and everyone is still asleep. It's a rare opportunity for me to have coffee in silence but I need to grind the beans and that would ruin everything. I wish I had stopped at the coffeeshop.
