Friday - I left work early to take the kids to the dentist. We met L for dinner and then she took them to the new frozen yogurt place across the street from our house while I got to shop in Target alone!
Saturday - We were up and out early for the 4k walk/run. Grayson and L ran while Carter and I walked about half. We went to the kids school for "Beautification Day" and were given the task of digging out stumps. It sucked. Went to lunch, got frozen yogurt,home to rest for a bit, and then L and I had to go to a dinner for her company. It was fine, but not the way we would have spend $70 for a sitter and we both left hungry so we stopped at the frozen yogurt place on the way home. We were both exhausted.
Sunday - L helped the kids with their homework and then we went to the gym so l could get a pedicure while the kids played in childcare. Went to brunch, bought the kids new sneakers, got L a jacket for walking next weekend, went to Wegmans, and went to get more frozen yogurt (this cannot continue!) Did some work to get ready for the week before L and Gray went running and Carter and I went scootering. Finished getting ready for the week while the kids watched a movie and then watched Magic Mike after they went to bed. My MIL saw it in the theater and said it was good...I am still scratching my head about that one.
Friday: I only remember taking A to her dads house, coming home and going into the gym for a light workout, nothing heavy since it was a rest day.
Saturday: J had a softball game set up with her cousins at 9am, I stayed home to clean and keep the kids occupied. I got some laundry done, the kitchen and living room cleaned, and the babies bathed. J and I worked out in the evening and invited BIL and his GF to come over and use our gym, a friend of ours stopped by and worked out too. J and BIL picked up Subway after the workout and we all ate, we let the kids play for awhile then put them to bed. I wanted to lay down so we hooked the laptop up to the TV in our room and watched the latest episode of Grey's from our bed, I fell asleep shortly after J turned the TV off.
Sunday: We went to LA for a change of scenery, looked at mexican pottery and blankets at a mercadito. A belt broke in the truck on the way to get lunch, luckily J's brother was in LA too and it was an easy fix so he came to help us. We drove through the neighborhood J lived in as a child then headed home after lunch, dropped J's sister off and went home to put the kids down for a late nap. I changed into my gym clothes as soon as the kids were down and went to the garage to workout, I put in over an hour lifting weights. J's sister came over to get put through the paces, I decided to shower while they worked out, I didn't want to kill anyone with my stench. Once SIL left, J and I went online for awhile then to bed.

Friday: memorial/wake for my friend. A night home alone.
Saturday: cleaned, ran the self-cleaning on the oven, got a recall thing checked on my car (it was fine, didn't need repair), and did a few loads of laundry and put them away. They got home around 5pm. We got ready and went to a hockey game.
Sunday: got up and made pancakes for the boy (he asks for this at least once a weekend). Then we made banana bread, and I cleaned the kitchen. It was rainy, we stayed in PJs all day and watched a movie in the afternoon. My wife worked OT.
Friday - Took the boys to my parents house. Then M and I went to dinner with an old friend we haven't seen in way to long. W got home after midnight and slept until 9am!
Saturday - M and I went to the local pallet place and bought 20 pallets so I can build our new patio furniture. We also went to Lowes to pick up the stain and casters. My parent's brought the boys back around 3pm and it was storming so not much progress made on the furniture.
Sunday - We had a play date with a bunch of our closest friends with kids. We were severely out numbered with 6 kids under two and 5 adults. The boys actually had a good time and were in good moods. They loved seeing the other kids. We then came home and put the boys to bed and relaxed after a good weekend.

Friday: I took the day off to take my car in for a mileage tune-up and prep for our weekend. After I got back from the car appt. I worked on getting us all packed up for our first Girl Scout camping trip! I picked E up from school and we finalized our packing and hit the road for the campsite. It was a sunny and warm start to the weekend. We arrived and got settled and spent the evening getting to know some of the other moms and their kids. That night the mosquitos were horrible and kept many of us awake for much of the night (sleeping in cabins that are not completely enclosed).
Saturday: We had a troop visiting for the day. The kids did stations of different crafts, science experiments, etc. In the afternoon we went on a hike with a poorly drawn map and took the long roundabout way to a lake. The kids were pretty worn out when we got back. Dinner that night was mac n cheese in a dutch oven, chicken and dumplings over the stove, cornbread muffins in box ovens (crazy how that works!) and salad. After that each cabin of girls did a skit and the adults did a skit too. The kids made s'more burritos and we called it a night. All the kids in our cabin were out in less than 15 minutes that night. And thankfully since it had been rainy off and on during the day the bugs were MUCH more subdued and I actually slept.
Sunday: We packed it up and cleaned the campsite and headed for home around 11. Laundry and grocery shopping and trying to keep a tired kid entertained and awake until bedtime. All in all it was a fun weekend and brought back lots of memories from my days of GS camping.

Friday: Dinner at a friend's house. Started feeling sick. Saturday: Sick in bed all day. Sunday: Sick in bed all day. But our friend came over and helped my wife tile our kitchen backsplash and it looks AWESOME! She is grouting as I write this.
It's still my weekend because I have today and tomorrow off, but I'm still...sick and lying around. Went to my PCP today to make sure it's just a cold since my transfer is tomorrow and I can't afford to have any mystery health issues. It is, fortunately.
Thanks! Thinking of you today - I hope transfer goes well.
Thanks! It did. Our singleton embryo thawed like a champ and was already dividing again. The RE and lab director both said it looked great. And now we wait!
