TGIF!
We made it, people! (And it's pay day here, too - double yay!)
What's everyone up to this weekend?!
My three sons!
Re: TGIF!
Overall, my main objective for the weekend is to try and not melt in this heat.
Tonight: no plans, other than watching "Dallas" on DVR after the kids go to bed.
Sat: my BFF and family are coming into town and hosting their annual lamb roast at his parents house, so we'll go to that in the afternoon, I'm super excited.
Sun: no plans as of now, other than the usual cleaning and laundry at some point.
Jake - 1.15.08
Liam - 5.17.11
Tonight: Hang out, pizza and laundry.
Saturday: More Laundry ( haha parenthood) and Im throwing a suprise engagement gtg for my BFF.
Sunday: Breakfast and maybe dormont pool. I want to H swimming but I know hes too little to be out all day so maybe like an hour? I miss the pool. I really need one in my backyard, Grocery shop, pay bills and that fun grown up stuff
Eric and Keefer are heading to Baltimore this weekend, so I am on my own. Tonight I am going to clean up the house and go to bed early (so excited as this has not been a good week for sleep in our household). Tomorrow I'm meeting a friend at 10AM to go into Pittsburgh for another friend's bachelorette party which involves lunch at Station Square and going to the Kenny Chesney concert. It's going to be a long hot day, but hopefully fun too. After the concert, I'll probably go down to my parent's and spend Sunday at their pool. Eric and Keefer will get back home sometime Sunday evening.

Tomorrow - we're going to check on my MIL. Long story short, she fell while they were on vacation and ended up breaking her femur. She had to have surgery and was just transported back home this week. She's settled into a rehab center, so we're going to go and try to make her as comfortable as possible.
Sunday - probably venture to our town's festival in the evening and catch up on some laundry at some point.
tonight- tastefully simple party at a friends. DH is going to the camp for the weekend.
tomorrow- my mom is coming over for the day and DH's friend's wife and daughter are coming to swim since the friend is going to camp with DH. Probably just order food.
sunday- nothing much. probably grocery shop. fun fun.
TGIF everyone!!
payday here too!
Tonight - not sure yet, probably just relax
Saturday - sweating my butt off at Kenny Chesney
Sunday - brunch at Eleven, hanging out in the Strip, packing for vacation
Tonight I am going to dinner with friends.
Tomorrow we are spending the day at my in-laws pool.
On Sunday, Rich is golfing, so I will probably take the kids to my parents and head to their pool while they nap.
My main goal this weekend is to try and stay as cool as possible - our A/C just broke and is not being replaced for a few weeks!
Tonight: Engagement party for my sister at my mom's BFF's house
Saturday: gym in the morning, then go to Anthropologie with my mom to help her use her birthday discount!
Sunday: Ikea to scope out new kitchen cabinets, maybe go to the pool, bath the dogs which I am sure they will actually enjoy for once in their lives!
ETA: What I won't be doing this weekend is cooking, anything except maybe meat on the grill.
Tonight - the a/c in my car is broke (for the 3rd of 4th time in the 2 years we've had the car!) so we have to drive out and pick up the car, and I guess we'll just grab dinner out, too.
Tommorrow - going back to zumba in the morning (I may die, it's been a LONG time!), Noah has a play date in the afternoon and we'll spend any other time in my parents pool.
Sunday - more time at the pool, I hope!
Happy Friday everyone! Payday here too!
Tonight - I think we will just be hanging out at home, but we may go to the pool or splash park.
Tomorrow - graduation party at 3:00; going out the friends later that night
Sunday- hopefully swimming or taking the kids to the movies to see Brave.
I'm working a half day today, so after I leave work I'm going to the gym and I hope to conquer the rest of the mountain of laundry I have from vacation. I took shout wipes with me, but I still think Jackson managed to permanently stain half the shirts I packed for him
After that I have to take Michael for shots at the pedi (I know you're all jealous).
Then I pick Steve up and we'll spend the weekend at the lake. If we get up early enough, I hope do do some morning bike rides prior to going swimming.
Jackson managed to split my bottom lip badly on vacation, so I'm going to do my best to keep my face well out of the water to ensure that the lake water doesn't somehow infect it.
My aunt and uncle from Ohio are at Fallingwater today, so we're going to see them for dinner tonight. Then packing until I collapse (or melt from the humidity).
Saturday morning we finish packing and then leave for our annual camping trip. It should be interesting to deal with Todd and a bathroom that is a five minute walk away...but I think it will be good. Each year the kids are older it gets a little easier and there is another family with kids joining us. :-)
I'm exhausted and stretched thin, so I'm hoping to get to relax some this year...and sleep. :-p
This reminds me that my signature picture is almost a year old - that is from camping last year!
Tonight we?re heading down to a local fireworks display.
Saturday is our monthly baby-free Saturday. DH and I are doing to dinner?not sure what else.
Sunday ? not sure yet, but I?d love to take Spencer swimming somewhere.
Tonight I'm "cooking" for the Kenny Chesney tailgate. And by cooking, I mean making hundreds of jello shots.
My fridge already looks like it did in college.
Tomorrow I'm at Kenny all day!! Party of the year!!
Sunday I have to drag my hungover butt out of bed to go dance in a show at Idlewild. It's going to be a hot one!
Tonight: DH has a meet n greet with a senate candidate, so I'm on my own. Not sure. Laundry? Eh, so exciting.
Tomorrow: We may go over a friends house.
Sunday: No plans. Laundry. I'd like to take G to Dormont pool, but he has the skin of the vampire just like me and his papa
so I'm not sure if he could handle it.
It's kind of nice to see a wide open weekend! We haven't had one of those in a lo ng time!
Tonight: out to eat and dh and I will watch TruBlood from netflix
Sat: not sure maybe splash pad. Need to pick out some light fixtures for kitchen renovatioks
Sunday: getting together with friends to take our dd's to see Brave. Then back to our place to let the girls play in kiddie pool/sprinklers
Meghan - I'm so sorry your a/c broke... Stop by if you're in our 'hood!
Tonight: I need to run a couple of errands (mainly the State store for DH!) but I'm hoping to just order-in and sit in/by the pool (which is hopefully warmer tonight than it was last night!)
Saturday: buying carpet from Lowe's in the a.m., then work for me from 12p-? DH and the boys will probably play in the pool.
Sunday: We need to paint the den ceiling and trim to get ready to lay the carpet. I want to plant a couple of pots, since I never did it last weekend, and clean out the one flower bed. Then get in the pool to cool off.
My three sons!
Today: we are buying the land/lot where our Forever Home will be built
So excited to finally have a place where our dreams can begin (and then be shot down when we see the price tag). Then going to the pool and having pizza delivered there. I can imagine we will be the ONLY ones at the pool since no one ever goes in the evening so if anyone wants to join us....
Saturday: Have to drop my car off at the garage for its inspection since tomorrow is the last day....oops. Pool in the afternoon then maternity pix at sunset....can't wait to see the photos with all of the sun flare. I've never done sunset pix before.
Sunday: We are planning to go home to my parents if my sister has her baby today or tomorrow. She's due Monday but I would have thought she would have gone today for some reason. Otherwise, another day at the pool.
