Weekend plans.
Re: Weekend plans.
Saturday: We have a uhaul reserved in the morning to do some large donations. Our garage is totally full. Also, we are going to a charity chili cookoff for lunch. It's actually a huge thing here with like 200+ stalls, all outdoors. The weather should be perfect for it. In the afternoon we will do some planting.
Sunday: Possibly some furniture shopping/scoping out for our bed/bath project. Otherwise, just a quiet day.
Saturday: clean house, grocery shop, errands, dinner with DH's parents, DH and his dad are off to a hockey game. Hope to start quilting a baby quilt for one of DD#2's teachers after the girls are sleeping.
Sunday: laundry, last day of open skate for DH and the girls, meal prep, hopefully finish up the baby quilt, plan next project, relax.
Tomorrow I have an appointment with my financial advisor. After that, I'll probably end up spending most of the afternoon working on their taxes. Not sure beyond that.
Saturday - Not sure what the plan is. We were invited over to a friend's house for games all day but I kind of want to just stay home and get things done around the house so we'll see. Very up in the air.
Sunday - Volunteering for a local charity that arranges a hot Sunday dinner delivery + weekly groceries and other house hold items for needy families in the area.
Saturday morning we're decluttering the house (an ongoing project) and separating out items for a family yard sale in May. I'm also going to donate some bags I have at the house and just generally get.rid.of.everything. Depending on our progress we may go out and start registering for our baby shower before my friends kill us hahaha
Sunday we're having brunch with DH's parents and then continuing with either decluttering or registering (whichever one we don't do Saturday afternoon).
Saturday- early class at the gym, work, then we're going to the home expo.
Sunday- class at the gym mid-morning, then grocery shopping and scrubbing floors and baseboards.
No plans Saturday or Sunday, though I need to sweep out our unfinished basement. And I also need to write a new blog post... I'm thinking either about the apps I'm using or why we didn't stop saving for retirement while paying off debt. Both topics are in my queue.
Monday I took PTO, but I'll probably work at little in the morning. Go on a walk with H and then I have a hair appointment at 3.
Today DH is hanging out with FIL and FILs son. He will come home by 4 and I'll want to take a nap for sure. Probably just veg at home tonight.
Sunday - not totally sure yet - we need to finish delivering DD's bday invites and probably go to target for a couple things.
Sat - Finish getting all of the tax stuff together and take it to the accountant. Church in the evening, take some donations with us for the food pantry.
Sun - Not much during the day. Going to the old movie theater in the evening for their chili, beer and a movie night.
On Saturday, we had friends come in from MS. They'd never been to a Middle Eastern restaurant, so we took them to one of our faves for dinner. They seemed to like it. The rest of the time, we just hung out on the deck. The weather was gorgeous!
On Sunday, H and I went out to brunch. It was a mystery shop, so that will (mostly) get reimbursed. Spent the rest of the day relaxing.
