FRIDAY! Thank God!
Re: FRIDAY! Thank God!
Today: Abby has her 18 month check up first thing this morning and then she is going to DC. I'm having my hair cut/colored and then running errands for deco projects around the house. BBQfor my brother's birthday tonight
Tomorrow: Lions Auction in Falmouth where I hope to get lots of stuff I don't need! :-) Soup kitchen serving at night.
Sunday: forgoing church for Abster's first Red Sox game!! Woo hoo! Let's hope she sleeps on the way down makes it through most of the game.
Hooray for Friday!! Right now watching Curious George with the boy, trying to deny that Ellie is awake upstairs. (She's in bed with MH, but it's his day to sleep in. I'm hoping pacifier = re-sleeping baby.) Headed to Target today to return some stuff and hopefully get Owen new summer sandals.
Tomorrow: taking Owen to the zoo, per his request. Then maybe ditching to family to go shopping. I have a wedding in two weeks and nothing to wear that's nursing-friendly.
Sunday: no plans!
It's too early to be up on a vacation friday!
Today we dropping Taylor off at daycare so we can go grocery shopping and clean this house. Probably will do a late lunch at Red Robin and then pick up Taylor from daycare.
Tomorrow, probably a whole lot of nothing. Maybe we will go to Chris' aunt's camp if it's nice out.
Sunday is the Fiber Frolic at the Windsor Fairgrounds. I'll likely meet MIL there with Taylor so she can see all the animals. She'll probably want to take us to lunch.
I am sooooo glad it's Friday. Work has been crazy this week, and I need a break.
Tonight: Hopefully lots of snuggling with DH.
Tomorrow: BBQ at a friends house. (My pep talk: I must refrain from eating for 4 people, you are only 1).
Sunday: DH has to work that night, so I will probably haul the kids out to do some shopping so he can get some sleep during the day.
Tonight: Second to last Softball game then working on the pool some more.
Saturday: Cleaning and getting the house ready for Evie's birthday party. Making cupcake picks, banners and scrapbooking. Not sure what to do Saturday night, Zack wants to go to Portland Pier to see George Clinton but I am thinking not.
Sunday: Work around the house then family/Evie's Rockstar first birthday pictures.
Tonight: Hanging with my guy. If it is nice we'll go for a walk on the rail trail.
Tomorrow: I'm going to try to get groceries in the morning while Seth is home. Then going to Freeport to try to find a bathing suit...I'm thinking Beans?
Sunday: Family day. We spent last weekend with his family so we are spending this one with mine...I can't wait!
Today-- working... and then who knows. Hoping it stays gorgeous out so I can take a walk!
Saturday- my bff who got married last weekend in Antigua is having her at-home celebration and so that's my plans... spending time with her! Still really sad that we couldn't afford to go to her wedding-- she looked incredible.
Sunday- no idea! Trying to get DH to do some work on our place... it's a constant battle.
So happy that it's going to be a nice weekend, just wish DH hadn't taken off this morning to head out to sea- at least it's his last cruise on the Bigelow EVER!!!
Today: Work and then running errands and picking up some stuff for my baby shower next weekend- I still can't believe how fast time is flying! Probably just relax at home tonight and watch some backlogged Netflix- I have a craving for falafel, so I might grab some takeout from the Greek place intown.
Tomorrow: Working on some shower stuff and hopefully getting outside- our landlord just put out our new porch swing, and I'm dying to curl up and read in it for a while. I'd also like to get the house cleaned up and go for a jog/waddle if possible.
Sunday: Possibly meeting up with my SFIL for brunch if he's able to come over to the island, if not just relaxing. A little bit of cleaning and maybe cashing in on the maternity massage gift certificate that DH got me a while back.
Hooray for summer weather!

I'm not gonna lie - this post always made me jealous during school because my answer was always the same --- WORK! So I never posted (not that I had time to post anyway!)..... but now I get to partake in the weekend post!!! Today, planting the last of the annuals in the planters and garden, dividing some of my ground covers and giving them to a friend and then taking Fenway to get a serious hair-cut! Tomorrow, a little cleaning and a LOT of yardwork! Tomorrow night, going out with some girlfriends to do Karaoke - I am in the middle of the flu so I better be able to sing!! Sunday we are having a grad party for SIL here at the house. I am sick of just sitting and not doing anythng so I am hoping to get better and be able to move more!
Tonight: DH is heading to his nephew's high school graduation and since Rid couldn't handle my niece's high school graduation last Friday, I am not going to subject her (or anyone else) to another one. Instead, she and I are going to meet my sister and my niece for dinner at Margarita's after we take pictures with his nephew at their house. I also need to do a strength training routine, but that may need to wait until Saturday or Sunday.
Saturday: Ridley has gymnastics in the morning and I have to take my car in for an oil change at 1pm. Then we are headed to DH's brother's for his nephew's graduation party.
Sunday: Grocery shopping in the morning and then probably a whole lot of hanging out in the backyard and on the swing set. I am hoping that the weather will cooperate!
Next weekend Ridley and I are headed to Quebec with my sister and niece for a girls weekend. I can't wait! Now, everyone keep their fingers crossed that my passport gets here in time!
Woooo hooo!!!
Tonight: date night, but as usual ... we don't actually have anything planned.
Tomorrow: Sleeping in and then doing something outside. I want to take the little dude to Smiling Hill Farm. I don't think there will be any objections from either dude. There's ice cream involved, they're in.
Sunday: Yoga, and probably some practical stuff like laundry, groceries, cleaning.
Tonight dinner with mom, nana, Marcus, and maybe my brother if I can convince him to come down again before he leaves for Cape Cod for the summer. Tomorrow a friend from grad school is coming to visit and then go out to lunch. She lives 20 minutes away and for some reason we haven't seen each other in over a year, we've both been busy, I guess! Otherwise, just gardening, mowing the lawn, playing outside, and going to the gym since I haven't been all week.
Tonight: Quick dinner out (probably Stonyfield Cafe) then seeing The Hangover 2 (I've heard mixed reviews, but I wanted to take advantage of the Friday buy-one get one free movie deal through Fandango).
Tomorrow: Graduation party, errands, shopping
Sunday: No plans yet!
So excited to meet Peanut this fall!
*Outdated* Wedding Bio
Have fun at the Sox game! I'm not ready to try Caroline out yet!
Tonight - Think staying in, maybe a little Home Depot
Tomorrow - Farmer's Market in the morning and then in teh afternoon we're dropping Caroline off with the IL's and we're going to see a movie. First movie since right after we were married LOL
Sunday - DH is going to play paintball all day while I'll be headed to a bridal shower in the afternoon.
This week has flown by!
Today: I'm going to Kohls at lunch to try to get some maternity clothes. I've held out for as long as possible but I need some shorts/capris... and pants that actually fit. I came in to work early, so I'm leaving early to pick up DH and head to the mountains.
Saturday-Sunday: We're spending the weekend in NH for our anniversary (instead of the whole week on the beach, thanks to sucky maternity leave business.) It's one of my favorite places to go so I'm not all that upset. Definitely have plans invloving the outlets and hiking somewhere, everything else TBD.
Monday: Driving home in the morning, then to the dr.s for our big ultrasound! DH and I both have the day off, but we'll probably just spend the rest of the day at home.
Another working weekend! But starting next weekend, I'll have off Saturday through the summer/fall season...I can't wait!
I'll share what we did the past two days, since my weekend was Wed and Thurs this week:
Tues night: dinner at Street & Co for our anniversary...everything was amazing, including the house-made limoncello...the perfect "summer" evening after-dinner drink
Wed: we both got haircuts, oddly and then walked down to the Farmer's Market, where I created a mental list of a billion different fruit/veggie plants I want to buy at next week's market...lunch at Nosh...yum...
Thurs: we drove down to Quincy, MA to visit Adams National Historical Park
This coming Monday (I know this doesn't fit in...): DH's first day at his new job!!
