We had a fun outing at the farm...both kids loved feeding/petting the animals (I didn't think we were ever going to get C away from the chickens, lol), we did a hayride, and finished up with the bounce houses. C passed out on the way home and we were able to get her in her crib where she slept for another couple hours. Success!
My Gators won and now we are just waiting on pizza delivery and watching more football with the windows open. Perfect day.

Happy Saturday! We went to a fall festival today.... it was a bust. Super hot and most of the activities you had to buy tickets for... and we had 6 kids with us so it would’ve been like 💸💸💸 It was really busy though so apparently people are into it. Now I’m on hold with Suntrust because I found someone’s debit card on the ground while we were there. I had no clue who to give it to there because the place was huge so I just took it with me. I tried to find the girl on Facebook so I could just give it back to her but no luck. Oooh I wanna see that wedding - let us know what you think!

Poppy is army crawling all over and very pleased with herself. It's raining here so we're just laying low. My SD is putting the finishing touches on our room addition. We are planning to go to the pumpkin patch tomorrow with chrisy01, but not sure how long we'll stay since it might rain and will certainly be muddy. I've got to come up with a plan B JIC.

I need opinions. I got this headboard for free, curbside pick up FTW! (Ignore my messy garage) This is the room I’m putting it in. The comforter is dark grey with icy blue and silver, walls are light blue. Should I leave the headboard as-is or paint it? White, black, a color?

trtlcrzy Maybe a charcoal shade in the same family as the comforter? I'm worried that pure black might be too harsh against the soft walls. But IDK.

Should I use spray paint, chalk paint or regular paint? I’ve never painted furniture. I have done all 3. I don't think you could go wrong with any of them, but for wood, I might do chalk paint since there's so little prep work needed. It's basically fool proof, I really liked working with it when I did the chest of drawers recently. I would definitely get the clear wax to put over it, gives it a nice finish. eta: if you do opt for chalk paint, black may work, b/c it would be a bit softer/less stark than super glossy spray paint or whatnot.

Maybe you could take one of the pillow shams to the store with you to check out the color with the bedding?

trtlcrzy I like that color! O would definitely paint/spray it! We had a nice lazy rainy day. I took like a 45 minute nap over the course of several hours because little humans kept waking me up. Then when I was in the bath dh took them to the park and met them run around and splash in all the muddy puddles. I never would have let them, but they had a blast and he cleaned them up, so whatever. Now I’m feeding C and we have a bread, meat, and cheese board, pumpkin beer and a movie once the boys go to bed.

Hi! Picked up the last of the ornaments I ordered. We also visited my cousin who just announced she’s expecting. Gave her some maternity clothes and baby clothes.
E rolled from her back to her tummy today. So sad she’s growing too fast.

We've had a fun weekend with SD here is been a long time since she's been here and E has been asking for her for weeks and ele up for days before excited about her coming. We went to the pumpkin patch and picked some really fun pumpkins. I hope to plant some seeds in the yard for next year. Then we filled out financial aid applications for college (exciting).

I remember stupidly watching it home alone when I was like 15 and being so creeped out!! I don’t really watch a ton of horror movies, but I enjoy them sometimes. My bff and I watched it when we were kids at her house during a sleepover for the first time. Gives me chills just thinking about it.

I woke up out of the blue at 3:30am, and it’s a good thing I did because I forgot to set my alarm before I went to sleep last night. I’m awake now and getting ready to head to work.
