What’s everyone up to? Today’s going to be crazy for us, we’re hosting a Halloween party tonight so I need to get ready for that. Party starts at 3, so I need to get moving on tidying up. Plus I have to go into work for an hour this morning to interview someone for a job.
Thankfully Sunday is free of plans, I’m thinking maybe I’ll cook a roast.

I work today and tomorrow. I also have a Halloween party tonight, so I'm going to be BUSY when I get home tonight, because I have to finish getting my cakes ready and ice all my cupcakes (I might employ MH to do that), AND I have to get myself ready, including doing fingerwaves which I've never done before lol.
On an unrelated note, is anyone else sweltering hot?? It's been unseasonably warm here anyways, but I have been absolutely drenched in sweat most days. I don't usually sweat until it's up in the high 90s and it's only been in the 70s.

Taking DS to the Touch a Truck today. My parents are meeting us, so I’m putting DS in his new big brother shirt :-)
We’ve got a Halloween party tonight, and then DH and I are planning on Stranger Things binge after DS goes to bed.

We’re still on vacation visiting family. My MIL rented a giant beach house for the weekend so we are here with her and her husband. It’s super foggy this morning so we’re going to go to a pumpkin patch this morning and the beach this afternoon. Then some friends of ours are supposed to come up tonight to hang out and they’ll spend the night. So it should be a fun weekend.

I don't usually sweat until it's up in the high 90s and it's only been in the 70s. My first pregnancy I had hot flashes and slept in shorts and a tank top with 2 fans on for months in winter. H was not amused. I haven't been as hot this time around but do have a random wave of sudden heat occasionally.

We had soccer this morning, then ran some errands. V has a pretty bad cold, but he's been a trooper even though he's feeling rundown. He's napping now and I'll join him shortly.
Tonight, H and I are going to dinner and a concert. Looking forward to an evening just with him.

H has Army drill all weekend, and is going out to dinner with some higher ups tonight, so DS and I are just hanging out mostly. There's probably take out in my future. lily, I took DS to a Touch A Truck thing this morning too! He loved it - they had cherry picker type trucks from the electric company and we got to go up in the bucket, DS loved it and I'm still shaking, lol.

I baked a cake for my nephew's birthday, mowed the grass, and frosted the cake. Currently chilling for a few minutes. Then I'll do my hair and we'll head to the party.
Yesterday I carried my 40+ lb tantruming toddler and a 35lb pumpkin multiple times at the pumpkin patch. That plus mowing the lawn today has made my body mad and fairly crampy. This doesn't bode promising to me going back to Zumba when I hit second tri and am less nauseous.

We were going to the zoo, but woke ip to rain. I made a delicious breakfast, went grocery shopping, did laundry, went to total wine for non alcoholic wine, and target for diapers. Red beans and rice is in the crock pot, can't wait! Tomorrow is going to be colder, but no rain, so we'll go to the zoo then.

V has a temp of 104, so the cold took a turn for the worse. He cried when we left and MIL keeps texting that he wants us to come home. I gave him Motrin before we left and he’ll get some Benadryl soon, so hopefully she can get him to bed soon.

we are at our vacation home this weekend. we are just relaxing, I spent some time by the pool this morning and then went for a mani/pedi. We need to buy a portable crib for this place that can fold up and go in the closet when we aren't here so we may go look at what in store options look like.
May go to a fair later.

We were busy hanging new ceiling fans in our house today while the kids went to a Halloween party with my parents. Then our indoor/outdoor cat stumbled in with what appears to be a dislocated shoulder tonight. Taking him to the vet first thing tomorrow. Poor guy.

Busy day here! I had to work this morning. Then we all went to a college football game. It was cold and DD got cranky in the 3rd quarter so we headed home. Luckily we got to listen to the game on the radio on the way home. We won against a top 5 team! ☺
Now I'm trying on clothes from my first Stitch Fix box. I'm so excited that they have plus sizes and maternity now so that I can try it out. I think I'm keeping two items, which is pretty good for my first one. A dress and a cardigan. There was this soft plaid scarf in there that I might've kept except it is $34. Too much for a scarf for me.

That food thread got me thinking too. I went grocery shopping earlier and stocked up on salsa (still a big winner here) and all the salad wrap things. So satisfying. Food porn!

Zoo was fun, but cold. M enjoyed it until he got a chill when his pants got soaked on a playground. I think even after changing him he couldn't get warm. But we have passes, so it's no big deal to not see the entire zoo each visit. Relaxing the rest of the day.

I haven't been here in ages! Life has been busy and I've been so so sick.
I took the boys to a Halloween party yesterday and this afternoon I'm taking DS1 to a figure skating show. Right now DS2 and DH are napping and DS1 is watching a movie. I need a nap even though DH let me sleep in until 10am, lol.

My boy was puking yesterday and the husband was sick too. So my weekend has been fun. In other news, my Harmony results FINALLY came back Friday. (Over. 2 weeks). They were low risk for the trisomys and looks like baby # 2 will be a girl! My son SO excited for a baby sister.
