We're about to head out to the apple orchard (again). I need more cider donuts and caramel apples in my life. At least it feels like fall this time; last time we went, it was high 80s. Right now it's 45º. Brrrr.
I just booked us a family photo shoot with Rox for next Sunday with a friend I know who does photography. This should be interesting lol. I don't know if we can get her to sit still, but we're doing them outside at a park, so hopefully I can get some good ones of us walking around at least.
My back hurts. H is away helping his dad close up the cottage for the morning. My grandparents are coming over with the giant load of clothes for Clare from my fancy cousin.
I'm going to a bike class this morning and then to meet my mom for coffee. I always try to squeeze in a nap sunday, we'll see. I also need to plan my week at school.
DS went to bed super early last night and is now up before sunrise. I plan on sipping coffee for a bit and watching the sun rise. Then it's pancakes for breakfast followed by church and beach.
They are saying all those big oarfish that keep showing up around here are signs of a mega quake coming. Stop it people, just stop it.

Today is that God Forsaken pool party. It's 4-6pm and no mention of dinner being served. Then we have an hour ride home that DD will sleep during and be up all night.
L's birthday party is today! I decorated last night and when I brought her down this morning, she was SO excited. It was the best thing EVER.
And I'm so glad everything is ready to go. I busted my ass yesterday getting everything cleaned up and ready. Even since I woke up this morning I've made buffalo chicken dip and assembled and Ikea table and chairs. I'm DONE. Now it's just time to eat, drink bloody mary's and watch L have a blast. <3

I went to the best and worst wedding ever last night as my sister's date. Worst: lame decor, typical bbq, and the only current song the dj played was blurred lines. Best: super happy lovey couple and family, my sister didn't expect me to put out, and and they gave out jars of peach moonshine as favors. I call last night a win.
Going through baby clothes. Holy crap we have a ton and our shower isn't for another two weeks. This photo is one large bag - we have one more large bag, three small bags, and a rubbermaid container yet. We're going to have to rent a storage unit just for baby clothes, ha. Hoping my BFF has a girl, too, so I can share!
I'm still on the couch drinking my second cup of coffee. But I did get a pot roast in the crock pot between cups.
Once H and I are ready to leave the house, we're headed to Shake Shack for lunch and then a walk in Central Park.
The vet diagnosed my cat with seasonal allergies last week (he's been scratching his ears a lot lately). But we were reluctant to make him miserable by forcing Claritin down his throat daily. Last night he started sneezing - it's so sad and hilarious at the same time. He'd wake up from a nap, and sneeze until he fell asleep. He is sneezing a lot this morning, too. Guess we're starting to give him allergy meds today!

Jealous! It's 80 degrees here and I'd love some cider donuts!
We were nominated for, and won, a free family photo session. I just realized I didn't get back with the woman a couple weeks ago and she may have taken that as a "we're not interested." I'll email her in the morning--fingers crossed we can still do it.
I'm loving the hell out of being home on the weekends.
Our heat isn't working. It is not cold enough here yet that we need it on, my H would like to keep it 70+ in the house but I'm cheap. He did turn it on and no heat. Last year our furnace broke and we put $300 into it. It is probably more than 20 years old so I wonder if it is time to get a new one. It is only our third year in the house and we replaced a bunch of windows and got new siding this summer. Buying a furnace right now would suck.
Lazy day for us. Leo seems to be on the mend, but still not himself. So lazy day at home. I feel the dread of worrying if anyone else will catch the stomach bug.
I need to clean, we will hang stuff on our walls and I need to run to Target. I am happy to have an excuse to laze around.

DH's Dad & brother are on their way here. I am in no mood. I'm tired, and pregnant, and tired, and pregnant. I just want to be left alone. Not hounded about "how are you feeling?" "How is the baby?" "Can i touch your stomach?"
Getting a non office approved mani pedi (I'm thinking orange with black sparkles or that sand stuff over it for Halloween).
Then heading to my parents for the day to try and mangle another pumpkin. This was the one I did yesterday
That is WAY better than I could ever do. My skills with pumpkins are horrid. I did cut one medium sized one 3years ago, it looked like you could stick your peen in it and all ex's buddies said that. Actually I lack all crafting skills, why am I on Pinterest?
I'm going with my mom to get a massage. I can't wait!
My inlaws need to come home and take their damn dog with them. She growls at me every time I kiss H or sit next to him. And she shit on my bedroom floor. Ugh
