DD woke up saying "I'm the Birthday girl!" I think she may be just a tad excited for her party this afternoon...lol
We have had 7 more people added to the list of who is coming just since 6pm yesterday. I'm curious to see if anyone we're not expecting shows up.

Happy Birthday little bellatrix! We are working at a blues festival today. It's supposed to be 80 degrees and sunny. I'm excited but curious to see how DD does out there all day.

We went to a splash pad today & a grumpy grandpa hollered at DS like a maniac because he was using the water guns & his granddaughter ran into the water path of it & got splashed with water in the face. Ummm... Ok? You are at a splash pad. So DS then got upset & we had to console him. Like w.t.a.f. lately?!

NamasteBirches sorry your ds got yelled at for no reason. He's seemed to have a lot of negative encounters lately. We're having a movie night tonight and ordering pizza. It's in 90s temps this weekend so I'm excited not to cook. Boob sweat weather can GTFO. ETA grammar

It's mid 80s temps here this weekend. The house is surprisingly staying relatively fresh without having to turn on the AC yet. DH & I have been watching Fist Fight while DS is in his playroom watching the original Beauty & the Beast. He's super tired apparently. DH will grill later. Maybe we'll eat outside.

DH has to work tonight, so B and I are watching movies. After so much mental effort during the workweek, I can barely clear 2K steps on the weekend. I feel like crap not doing a lot outside, but it's like summer is here and it gets so hot outside.

We had dinner outside tonight. It cooled down so that was nice. It felt pretty awesome being out there on the deck. I still can't believe it's done. I can't wait til we can get a new dining set & accessories but the deck itself was mucho $ so it'll have to wait for now.

I made the mistake of renting The Aristocats for movie night, which DH and I have never seen. That's the last time I rent something without fully screening first. It was old Disney, so I should've known it was dripping with sexism and toxic masculinity. I kept wanting to yell at the tv. It also had a scene that was the most deliberately racist and I was horrified to have shown it to DD. She didn't seem all that interested in the movie, aside from the fact that she likes animals, so she probably didn't absorb much of the actual movie. I hope.

We went to a Geekcraft Expo yesterday and it was so cool! We spent waaaaaaaay too much money, but whatever. Support local artists and all that. H got a really cool leather mask and these scalemail fingerless gloves/gauntlets. And for our living room (to replace some piece of trash awful painting that you would find in a short hotel in the 80's) we got an amazing canvas drawn completely in numbers and astrophysics equations. I'm so in love with it.

DD had a spell of being very difficult about going to bed (and especially staying there), so we decided to use some incentives. 10 good days in a row for a trip to the awesome swimmingpool in the next town. She decided she'd rather visit a festival in the city over an hour away, but then she missed one of her days so to the swimming pool we went. The weather was beautiful this morning so I took my bike rather than the train. My excercise for this week is done! Rode 45 mins to the pool, waterplay for 1.5 hours, then 45 mins back. It turned out to be quite warm, so I felt like jumping straight back into the shower. Currently relaxing and trying to get some tax stuff done.
Yesterday was DD's dance recital. It was cute, they were five little gnomes, like garden gnomes, with red pointy hats. I helped backstage so I am still waiting on the videos of the whole show to see what it looked like. The hats looked like they had been in use for about 20 year and were absolutely falling apart. Luckily there were only 5 needed, because it took a lot of safety pins and hairclips to make them stay on.

We've had a good weekend. DS is really good with his brace. I still can't believe he fell off the bike like that- but boys will be boys I guess.
Today we're debating beach or pool. It's so beautiful outside. I'm chilling on our back patio with my coffee while DS and nephew are running around. I love summer!

@threegiraffes, I saw this movie when I was a kid and remember none of what you're mentioning. Thanks for sharing this. It's a good reminder to screen movies even if I remember seeing them when I was younger. We watched The Lion King and I felt the same. (Though the movie itself wasn't as bad as The Aristocats) Watching it when I was younger compared to age 35 made me view it differently now. Age, experiences, and perspective have changed how I feel about most Disney.

DD has a playdate at a local park later today. DH seasoned ribs last night and we'll have them for dinner. This was a lazy weekend for us, but I'm sure as summer goes on we'll be running like crazy.

It's almost 10 and I'm sooo tired. I didn't really sleep last night, so not really surprising that I'm so exhausted, I guess. I want to do get a coffee or go to the store and get a Monster or something, but I don't want to put pants on.

While at the pharmacy to get cough medicine for B, I also stocked up on sunscreen. I think we'll go to the pool soon. I need to eat lunch first.

LED, I may have just locked DD in her room for two hours so I could nap. I wish. If I wanted a nap around here I'd have more luck if I locked myself in H's car! Haha The kids are always yelling at each other and playing music. Even when I tell them to keep quiet so I can get R to take a nap they're too loud for me to ever be able to sleep. But, ultimately, it doesn't matter too much because I suck at sleeping/napping anyways.

Dh did the front garden that we've been neglecting lately. Looks so good. Then he finished the last of the sealing to the playground so that's finally done. Other than that, it's been a lazy Sunday.

We've been watching a corny hallmark movie while ds plays in his playroom & watches a scoobydoo movie. He's been obsessed. It's funny because Dh used to love scoobydoo when he was younger. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree, I suppose!

We swung by the library to get some more scoobydoo DVDs for ds. He started getting a little restless. While there, I signed him up for the summer reading program & also myself because why not?! I haven't consistently read in a long time so maybe this will be the boost I need. Every book you read is an entry to win a gift basket thing that looks really fanceh so it's enticing.
