Fall Weekend (kind of)

[sarenu]

What are we all up to?

[sarenu]

We have a bouncy house coming for the kids this weekend. F is turning 4 and we feel bad that it isn’t going to involve family or friends.

Summer is trying to hold on a little longer this weekend (it's going to be 🥵). We're looking at a house tomorrow morning that sits on just under 2acres. Then, R has a soccer game in the afternoon. I'm on snack duty, so I need to hit up the store today for half time oranges and something sugary for after the game

I am off today, and the last couple of days at work were woof, so I’m really grateful. The cleaner is here, which is extra good because my mom is on her way to spend the weekend with us. M has soccer tomorrow morning. Weather looks nice and mild, so hopefully getting outside some with the puppy.

I really need to clean the pool and get it closed down for the season. Tomorrow I’d like to make it to our local farmers market and then maybe take the kids to get pumpkins.

Dog training tonight.

Gymnastics all morning tomorrow.

Then maybe local oktoberfest or some play dates or going and getting skis fitted.

Sunday P has her first soccer game of the season and otherwise chores/yard work etc.

Our local violin group is having a play-in at a local outdoor place tomorrow. D and N will play and S might hold a violin and look cute. Of course, it's mid 70's and sunny today and Sunday, but tomorrow is 68 with a 79% chance of rain. At least there's a big covered patio for us to hide under. And maybe it won't be too crowded. MH and his dad will take D and N to a baseball game tomorrow. We all went to a minor league game earlier in the summer and it's just too much to try to keep S in a seat and entertained and I do not want to chase him around a major league ballpark, so we'll stay home.

Waited all day for the tv repair people for our 1 year old tv. They showed up with the parts that the previous person said we needed and it did not fix the tv. So now they think it need a different part that isn't available. They said they'll give it a week and if they can't get the part, we will get a new tv. I mean, I'll take that, but this process has been 3 weeks already!

I just cut the grass. cleaned the house, and got all the halloween decorations up! Tomorrow we head to my parents for my nieces first birthday. T has a big certification exam next friday so we'll all be tip toeing around him while he studies/stresses.

C has started having only one nap and today is her first one that's lasting a full two hours! I'm going to have to wake her up from it 🥳

My mom is here to babysit so I'm taking L for a haircut and then grocery shopping. It's fun to do things with just him.

I'm not sure what the plan is for tomorrow. The weather is still beautiful here. I think it's the warmest September I've ever seen. I'd like to go somewhere for a hike/nature walk, or maybe a patio for brunch.

Swimming lessons start next weekend so this is our last totally free weekend for a while.

I’m finishing up some work right now. I’m behind from being sick and my big audit is Thursday. Eek!! But I am on call this weekend anyway so boo but time to catch up at least.
Tomorrow no plans? We just bought some hedges and are working on clearing out the front beds that have probably 20 year old hollies that are a disgusting uncared for mess in them (from before we moved in, not our doing.) Need to get out fall decor.
Sunday E has soccer. Not sure why it’s Sunday this week instead of Saturday??

ALSO! I made a post about granite on GD. Go look at my granite and give me opinions! PLEASE!

Quiet weekend coming up. I worked today, and going to work on putting up some fall/Halloween stuff. Tomorrow we have to go out to the property to check on power stuff because the power company came out for literally 5 minutes the other day? If it's not raining we're going to stop at the awesome park that's out there and let the kids run around.
Nothing else planned, we have to tidy up and get ready for some of the new stuff that we're putting up (shelves and other organizational furniture), and my girlfriend had talked about maybe making salsa this weekend.

Re your granite thread: I am shocked at the “devil’s fruit” on your island. I assume the rest of your family likes it?

Lol. Yes. I am the nicest mom ever. Except that if they eat them, they must all be eaten before there is a spot of brown. And also, peels get fed to chickens immediately, or thrown in the outside dumpster. There will be no devil’s peel in my trash.

I’m getting my flu shot Sunday. Woo.

It’s a low-key weekend thanks to DS1’s (masked) COVID exposure. We’ll be taking the dog on a lot of walks, etc. maybe I can get some organization stuff done.

Jealous of the flu shot! They never come out before mid-October here.

MH and I decided to go out for breakfast, just the two of us. We're just going to a coffee shop but there are so many that we've never tried before. I'm excited to pick one.

We had to leave at 745 this morning for soccer. It was picture day, which was the most chaotic thing I have ever participated in and I was screaming on the inside. Both kids played. Left at 1115 to speed to the pediatricians office for our flu shot appts. Both kids cried, but we all 3 got our shots. Then took them to the candy store because that's what I bribed them with to get the shots taken care of (they're usually super chill about shots, this was unexpected).

All solo, because mh is out of town. I bought a pound of fudge and am going to dig right into that after I scream into a pillow for a bit to relieve some built up tension from the Morning Of Chaos.

Also my parents are arriving this evening for a 9 day visit.
