'Sup?
tonight: me and the kiddo are flying solo as H has his work Christmas party. We will eat Panera, play and he will go to bed whilst I finish addressing our Christmas cards and fall asleep before 10.
tomorrow: a very furry Christmas at Sesame Place!
Sunday: Hopefully Christmas pics and santa pic in one fell swoop. Oh and decorating/putting up our tree (finally!)
Re: weekend plans
My little nuggets
ugh. busiest weekend ever. It will be fun, but I think I will need another weekend to recover.
Tonight - chaperoning a community service trip. DH will have DD by himself for the longest stretch of time yet, including bedtime (which normally is awful). Fingers crossed. I will come home and promptly collapse.
Sat - we were planning on getting our trees in the morning, but it's supposed to rain all weekend. I don't want wet trees in our house. Then we have a bday party for my little cousin.
Sun - breakfast with Santa, possibly decorating the trees if we get them on Sat, then my bffs are coming over for our annual cookie baking night.
Tonight: dinner at Brauhaus Schmitz for FIL's 70th birthday. Looking forward to consuming some good German beer.
Tomorrow: the Addams Family picture session in the morning and then food prep for Sunday. My ILs are staying with us and I'm hoping they'll stay out of my hair and keep Jack entertained.
Sunday: Jack's first birthday party!
My birthday is on Monday so I'm going to celebrate on Sunday night with an obscenely large glass of wine to toast this weekend being over!

Tonight, we will check out Malvern Christmas and grab dinner at Anthony's. I have heard a lot of the shops have free wine, and I will help myself. We have lived here for years, and have never gone.
Tomorrow, is cleaning, laundry and dinner prep. I am having some friends over for dinner, and my husband is going to a game.
On Sunday, we have a birthday dinner in Media to attend with my husband's side.
tonight: 50th surprise party
tomorrow: check up with the car then a bingo fundraiser
sunday: wrapping presents for the kids Christmas party at the string band
Tonight: Nada. Reading, relaxing and catching up on my missed TV shows from the week.
Tomorrow: Shopping for Chanukah gifts and then going to the in laws for Chanukah later that night.
Sunday: Cleaning and prepping for the week. Dropping DH off at the airport for, what will hopefully be, his last trip to Ohio for work!
EDIT: I also just remembered that my birthday is next weekend and my license expires so I need to go to PennDOT tomorrow morning. Oh joy!
Wait a minute!! I'm babysitting Jack so you can go to BS?? Now I'm totally jealous. I had it in my head you were hopefully going to some BYO that I've never heard of and wouldn't care about!

I'll bring you back a sausage link and stolen mustard jar.

Us too!!! Hopefully we'll see each other! Is it bad I'm as excited as I am? The parade looks so cute. We were keeping an eye on the weather so we didn't really say anything to Emma yet, but the weather looks good enough we are definitely going.
She is going to love it...or be absolutely terrified of full size Elmo and hate us forever.
tonight: Holiday party at Franklin Institute. Excited.
tomorrow: Sesame Place Christmas! Put our tree up at some point.
Sunday: Decorate the tree...finally!
The $11 a person for Sesame Place Groupon is still on.

Yay! Look for us! This is V's first time at Sesame so I'm pumped!

Danica really loves Sesame Place so I think your kiddies will as well. I'm thinking about going! Laur - FB me what time you think you are going. Jess told me what time she's going. Maybe we can all meet up.
JenD - Jealous. I LOVE Brauhaus Schmitz!
DH is away coaching- left at 4am Friday. And lucky us, the kids and I are all sick. Again.
Friday night we hung at my parents' house and ate dinner with them.
Saturday we went to a friend's house for lunch while my other friend's DH started the renovation project on our powder room. Yes, another room torn apart. This house better be a flipping palace when we're done.
Sunday I am hoping to sleep in a bit and then maybe organize or even wrap some gifts, then going to my parents' house for my brother's birthday dinner- he turns 21 this week! My mom also offered to come over in the afternoon to help me get stuff done with organizing things, etc. so I'm hoping that works out- even if she can entertain kids for a bit while I do things, that would be great. I'm also considering bringing some stuff to their house to wrap tomorrow night while the kids are distracted/entertained.
Hope the ladies who went to Sesame enjoyed. My girlfriends and I went last weekend with our kiddos- this is the second year in a row we did this instead of exchanging gifts and it was so fun. I loved the parade and the music. Wish they sold the soundtrack. I am a total loser, I know.
