Do your Friday dance! weekend plans?

there should really be a dancing smiley! What's everyone up to this weekend?
Tonight: my mom is babysitting, Brian & I are heading into Oakland for Pitt homecoming festivities, yay!
Sat: tball in the morning, no plans in the afternoon, but it looks like it's going to be a nice day, so hopefully some leaf raking with the kids
Sun: we are seriously running out of food in the house, so I guess I'll need to drag myself to walmart in the morning. no other plans, which is awesome!
Re: Do your Friday dance! weekend plans?
Tonight - Claire and I are hanging out at home (I have allergies or a cold or something and am ready to crash). Sean's heading to Oakland for the Midnight Madness game for homecoming.
Tomorrow - Claire and I are meeting up with a friend and her girls at Toys 2 Try in Greentree, Sean is waterproofing our steps that were built this summer.
Sunday - RELAX!
Tonight I'm picking Steve up from work and we have to return extra boxes of flooring we bought but didn't need to the Lowes in Cranberry. We'll hopefully hit the red robin to take advantage of the birthday burger loaded onto my rewards card.
From there we're heading to the lake to start closing down the house for the season. We'll try to hit the Pumpkinfest up there for a bit in between chores.
Sunday we have to come home early because the boys have their first swim lessons at 10am. In the afternoon Steve's going to work on putting up our new wainscoting in the dining room with my dad while the boys and I meet a friend at Trax farms
Tonight is just a low key night at home. I hosted one of my book clubs last night, and it was a late one, so I'm seriously so tired today. (although based on my FB feed, I'll take being exhausted from book club over whining about the debates and/or the Steeler game!
)
Saturday we are heading to Ligonier Days.
Sunday we might hit Reilly's in the morning, then we have a birthday party later that afternoon.
Have a great weekend!!
So excited that we will be on vacation!!
tonight: pack
tomorrow: in the car all day...eek!! We've never driven this far! We are going to see the in laws in South Carolina.
Sunday: relax and maybe the beach?!?
with the cold crappy weather this week I am so happy to go someplace warm!!
We have a birthday party tomorrow, but the rest of the weekend will be spent doing home stuffs. Still scraping up green vinyl floors in the kitchen. the pool closing process needs to be finished up before the ground starts to freeze up on us. K will be "cutting the grass" so we can mulch up some of the leaves that have begun to fall. I believe the woman who lived here before said she got 16 or 20 of those paper bags of leaves from just the front yard. Yea fall! Groceries, laundry, and I should REALLY knit the second sleeve to EJ's halloween costume before it gets too close to crunch time. But after my nightly floor scraping I usually don't feel like it.
tonight-- It is hunting season.... so enough said. :P DH is in the woods. DD and I will hang out at home. Get a jump on laundry.
tomorrow- My mom is coming over and I need to go food shopping.
sunday- Fall Festival at the daycare. It is also my month to shop for our Church/ Kentucky Project family. So need to get that done before packing on wednesday.
TGIF everyone! I soooo can't wait to sleep in tomorrow.
Tonight: We're closing on our construction loan!
Saturday: Gymnastics in the morning, DH is hunting; I've recruited my nieces to come over and "babysit" the kids while I get some deep cleaning done. They're 12 & 9 and are so excited to have a job.
Sunday: Pumpkin patch!
Tonight: run to the mall and make some returns. When Nathan gets home, go get some dinner.
Tomorrow: Nathan is hunting. I am going to the with my parents Pitt game at the ungodly hour of 11 am. Who thinks that is a good idea? Oh, ESPN U does.
Sunday: Really need to get some stuff done on the outside of the house, praying the rain holds off. Plus, grocery store and some cooking for the week.
TGIF! So happy that I'm remote today and that it's FRIDAY!
Tonight: Takeout (I hope!), DVR, and maybe a load of laundry to get a start on that
Saturday-Sunday: I am OFFFFFFF all weekend -and the weather is supposed to be nice! Yay!!! The weekend, in no particular order, is going to include: watching the ND/Stanford game; a drive up North with all of my boys for the foliage and stopping by some random farmstands for pumpkins (which I want to paint or carve); vacuum/dust/laundry; and hopefully buying a new microwave (we're on day 10 of no microwave and it has been tricky/tiring figuring out meals that either have no leftovers or can be reheated in the oven without drying out!).
I also plan to let the boys run themselves ragged outside before the weather turns completely! Have a great one, everyone!
My three sons!
my parents are at Isle of Palms in SC right now and I am getting really annoyed with my dad's texts of "82 and sunny!!" haha! have fun.
fri - finally going to make it to the mall
sat - taking my niece and friends to splash lagoon for her birthday treat
sun - hopefully doing some small house projects - hanging a new mirror, adding some shelves in the laundry room, etc
Tonight: I have a huge grocery/walmart list so I guess I have to drag myself to the store to take care of that.
Saturday: We may try to get to a pumpkin farm in the morning and then stop by our town's Apple Festival afterwards.
Sunday: Church and maybe the pumpkin farm if we don't get to do it Saturday.
Monday: I am taking the day off to go to Reilly's for a hayride and pumpkin picking with Keefer's preschool class.
I have a ton of get ready for baby things I should do as well, but I've been really good at procrastinating so far. Maybe that nesting instinct will kick in at some point?
-Abbey
Tonight is Family Art Night at Heather's school, and since art is her favorite class she really wants to go. I'm not excited to eat pizza, but I am happy not to cook. :-)
Tomorrow is a visit to MIL's. We may check out a pumpkin farm nearby that I found online. I will enjoy 24 hours of no chores and crochet whenever the kids let me.
Sunday will be spent crazily doing chores and preparing for the coming week. Laundry, straightening, mail/paper sorting and meal planning/grocery shopping.
I got home a little late. Dh said he wasn't leaving for work- so I bailed on them and did some running around I had to do ALONE!! Managed to pick up Santa's give ( which I thought I was going to have to order online) while I was out too so that is a double bonus!
Then I made dinner and DH worked on something in the basement for a min. Now the plan is relax and drink some wine! Although I do have to work in the morning for a bit...nothing to do tonight!
Sat: work for a bit, laundry, do a cake for Sunday pick up and make simething to take to my SILs for a party in the evening.
Sun: we have to take Adam to his first Preschool friend Birthday at Bounce U. He is excited and has never been there. I am slightly annoyed ( for risk of sounding like a south hills pittsburgher) that they would have a party "all the way out there".
then laundry and house stuff.
