What's happening? Who is awake and having fun? Who's half asleep on the couch?

I had the day with P today while the Ms were at princesses on ice. Which was apparently pretty cool. P and I went to a local Halloween party and played outside. She took a long nap and I cleaned out the veggie gardens and planted bulbs. No evening plans though maybe I'll get out my laptop and start Xmas shopping.

I forgot J gets off earlier on the weekends. I took M to ballet this morning, and then I took her to drop in daycare for awhile. Supposedly so I could do stuff. I ran a few errands, and also did some nice sitting around eating candy and watching tv. M was tired and started bedtime herself (what?! No nap, I guess). I'm drinking red wine and watching the new Stranger Things with J. It's awesome.

I'm awake. We hosted an Ohio state/penn state party and M and I were the lone OSU supporters.... Everyone was soo obnoxious during the game because we were losing until almost literally the last minute. Once it became possible that we'd actually win I went into the bathroom and practiced my most obnoxious smile. And I've been using it!
So I'm drinking victory wine tonight, Bully Hill Banty Red. And kind of hoping MH goes to bed early so I can watch Grey's.

We went to the pumpkin patch this morning and were the only ones there. It was so nice. We even picked some apples too. When we got home after the little girls went down for nap, we raked the leaves, trimmed the hedges, and cut the grass. Then we headed to our neighborhood Halloween Parade. All 3 girls were melting down by the end so we skipped the pizza party and walked home. All in bed by 615. Now, DH and I are waiting on pizza to be delivered and watching Stranger Things.

We were supposed to go to the zoo today but we put it off until tomorrow. Hopefully it will be a little warmer.
MH got a new video game so he’s doing that. I have a face mask on, then I’ll do a little work or scroll around the Internet half-asleep. Exciting times around here!

I took a 2 hour nap on the couch after E's soccer game. It was blissful. Now I'm making chicken and kale soup and watching the Aggie game.

We haven't even had dinner yet. I'm in the midst of making chicken and dumplings and MH is playing in the backyard with L. It was a beautiful, balmy day today, totally out of character for our area! We didn't need coats all day.
We went to Costco this morning and then V raked up all the pinecones and put Christmas lights on the house for the first time. I'm way too excited about that lol, but it's been something I've wanted to do since we moved in six years ago.
After L goes to bed we'll be having tea and watching outlander, then reading in bed. I just finished a book so I get to choose a new one, yay!

Where have blackberries been all my life? Why did I think I didn't like them?

I had my annual Halloween party tonight. It was fun, it's always good to see the gang :-) Made carrot cake and then chocolate and vanilla cupcakes that people could decorate how they wanted. They went over well. Came home, took a shower, shot myself, and now I'm in bed. I've gotten into the habit of taking a nap between 5:30-7 or so and I definitely missed that today!

We just listened to the new Kenny chesney live album and reminisced the old days of ten years back going through old vacation/island photos. God I was so skinny.

So... my cat is still alive for those following along at home. He's been in the hospital on IVs and antibiotics and pain meds and nausea meds for 2 days. His kidney enzymes have come down a lot, and he is able to pee again. It's still touch and go. But I have some hope.

tj so glad to hear you are more hopeful. My kitty has something kidney issues and has a vet check on Monday. I'm worried about him. So I feel for you.

I'm half asleep on the couch... at work. I have to do some more cleaning and then I can crash.
It rained all frigging day today. We went for a walk when it tapered off for a bit. Other than that, we were trapped inside building blanket forts and painting pumpkins.

I'm home alone with just the baby, and it's been wonderful.

We had a weird night last night. H developed a quick-swelling lump on his head. No fall or other trauma, but it went from unnoticeable to the size of a walnut within about a half hour. He complained about it a bit and then lay down on the couch in the middle of dinner with cousins... so after a call to our pedi's nurse line, we headed to the ER.
He was fine. We were there only 3 hours (not bad for a Sat night!) and they decided it was most likely a spider bite or other bug bite (which surprised me as it felt pretty hard). He didn't have any other alarming signs they look for, so we went home.
First trip to the ER with H! He did really well.
We're both very tired today.

DS just fell down the stairs 😱. Luckily MH was able to catch him at the bottom before he could hit the hardwood. I hate having a stairs + a toddler.

We finished up Stranger Things last night. You just made me so excited to start it tonight! It's really good. We watched it quickly so that we wouldn't see any spoilers. We'll probably go back and watch the season a second time. I love the 80's Stephen King feel.
