This morning I'm taking one of my photographer friends to visit the goat farm I work with occasionally. Going to snuggle some cute goat babies while he wanders around taking pictures. I love goats so much.
After that I'm going to take my final for my online class.
Tonight I'm making empanadas for dinner then meeting up with some friends for a show at a local brewery.
We're having family over at 4:30 for a cookout for DS's birthday. Until then, I need to straighten up the house, finish the red velvet Star Wars cupcakes w/cream cheese icing, make pasta salad, and hope the storms hold off until later.
We're going up to my parents' to spend the night. My mom, nana, SIL and I are going to a little "market" of sorts, with vintage furniture, handmade stuff, etc. Then celebrating my dad's birthday tonight.
And since we don't have a babysitter for Will next week (she's going on vacation), we're leaving Will at my parents' and DH and I get like, three blissful nights to ourselves.
I'm working out, then going grocery shopping. Then I'm going to curl up on the couch with my kindle and read all afternoon. For some reason I finally picked up an Ann Rice book and I am hooked.
sleeping beauty? lol
No. Old school. Interview with the vampire. But definitely inspired by the discussion yesterday.

Right now baby and I are trying to get caught up on folding laundry (we are also having a dance party!) While everyone else sleeps. We're going to make homemade Belgian waffles for breakfast then putz around the house until tonight. Tonight we are going to the demolition Debby with friends for car football! We've got a sitter for baby so, looking forward to a good time with DS1.
DS has a play date with a neighbor this morning, so I will spend that time packing us up to go to my parents' house for the week-we leave in the morning. This afternoon we're doing the Disney Live Pirate & Princess show with some friends. I also have a bunch of errands to run but I don't see it happening before we need to leave.
Grocery shopping this morning, then I'm going to make a lasagna. I think I'm going to go for a drive a few towns over and buy a few boxes of peaches (this little town grows the best peaches EVER). If I end up doing that, I'll can a bunch in syrup. Mmm, I hope they also have apricots.
I also need to take care of the lawn and trim back some of the kale that's taking over, but I think I'll save that or tomorrow.
I'm 99% sure something is wrong with our AC. Because it's 78 degrees in my house and climbing. So that will be fun to deal with as it's supposed to be 95 today and 97 tomorrow.

We stayed downtown last night after the Twins game - just waiting to catch the train back to the Mall of America where our car is.
Mike is going to get the dog while I make a quick Costco run. We are doing a family golf tournament at 11:30 (there are seven foursomes playing) and then a pool party/awards ceremony/drinkfest at my aunt and uncle house for the rest of the night. So excited!
Hanging out with the kids this morning while DH and his brother are golfing. Then I'm making DH take them this afternoon while I work in the yard (or take a nap).
As soon as it stops raining, I'm going to mom's to pick green beans and will take her a couple of cucumbers from my garden trellis.
Later today I'll be tackling my garden and picking more tomatoes, eggplant and okra, and then getting as much as I can in my freezer. I'm also looking for recipes to use the rest of last years roasted pumpkin that's squatting in my freezer. And recipes for cranberry-orange muffins.
I might do some laundry in there too, and maybe clean. I also need some new walking shoes. Does anyone have a cloning device? I need another me to get all this done. LOL
I'm going to a zombie apocalypse side-event of Comic Con. I get to be a zombie, get the makeup put on, then I get to "stalk" the survivors. Originally, my mom was to participate but she had to drop out and the money to enter was non-refundable. Should be fun. I've been practicing my walk.
DH did the survivor part of that 2 years ago. He said that part was fun.
Up early with the pup. I plan to take her out for a few miles and then do some Pilates. After that it will be swim lessons with the little man and then home to clean house for awhile. Nap and then off to the GTG!! Woot!

Going to fluff up the house, maybe do a little yard work. Probably go to the office to work a couple hours. Have plans to be on the lake tomorrow--yay!
Ugh. Totally hung over from mine and H's date night last night. Toooo much wine. And... in a couple of hours I'll have FOUR kids here for a sleepover. lol lol. KILLLL me now.
I have my niece. We just had breakfast and then if the weather stays nice we are going to the beach to swim. Then tonight I am going to an arena football game with a friend.
We're suppose to go to a minor league baseball game tonight with friends and kids, but since it's been raining every fucking night, it will probably be cancelled.
I am right now forcing my H to go cut the damn grass, the back yard is almost up to my knees and the damn dog is to the point of refusing to go in the grass.

Cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. People are coming to see the house tomorrow! Please, everyone, cross everything you can that they wish to make it rain & buy this place.
I need to buy a gift for the baby shower I'm hosting next weekend, so the boys and I are going to take the loooong drive to the other side of the city where BRU is located. We'll probably have lunch in the area, then after we get home they'll play in the blow-up pool while I keep reading the book I started last night. At some point I should also probably do some laundry.

Today's our last day in Las Vegas. Right now, we're at the pool then we're packing up to go. Later, we're going to the shark reef aquarium or Adventure dome to kill time before our flight.
Field trip w/J to a local science museum with the Parent Ed class we're joining this fall, stay there for a picnic lunch, home for nap, then putz around the house until the LA GTG tonight. I also have a ton of those annoying little errands to run, but they will probably have to wait until tmrw.
