My weekend went flying by.
Saturday morning I went to a yoga class then went for a run in the beautiful weather we are having. Saturday afternoon we went to an open house, the yard was super tiny but the house was gorgeous. We drove around and looked from the outside of a couple other houses. One was in a neighborhood with all Harry Potter inspired street names (Ollivander, Dumbledore, Dursley) which was really cool. Saturday night we made pizza and a friend came over to pass out candy and hang out for a bit.
Sunday morning we got up and got biscuits and donuts (yummmy!!!) and did some errands. I went to a boxing class in the afternoon and then we just hung around most of the afternoon. It has been raining since yesterday morning so everything is really wet and gross. We did get a few small projects done around the apartment which was nice. I'm hoping to tackle some more boxes this week.
I was super productive in the nursery on Friday and Saturday. On Friday we picked up the glider and did shower returns. I did three loads of baby laundry (sheets, blankets, changing pad covers, towels, etc.) on Saturday morning. I then cleaned and put away the rest of the shower gifts and his room is now 90% done. I will PIP once the bookcase is here.
Saturday night we handed out candy. One group of boys didn't even ring the bell, the just came in and tried to take the whole bowl. WTF? DH handled it like a pro and was much nicer to them than I was.
And yesterday we just hung around the house and watched TV. Which was 100% needed.
Friday we took S to the high school's trick or treat and costume contest. Then we had a late dinner and dealt with an exhausted 5 year old in full meltdown before she passed out
Saturday morning I dressed up for Costume Day at sit n knit. We took DD to a trunk or treat to kick off her ToTing experience in that neighborhood. We always end at the same house where the woman gives out GIANT candy bars. Last year was a huge Hershey bar, this year was a huge Tootsie Roll.
Yesterday was just productive housework. I baked apple cider donuts, and made pumpkin ice cream. DH cleaned up the basement and the back yard, and I dug some of the extraneous crap out of my craft room. I then stayed up WAY too late to watch the World Series. I'm not a fan of either team, but that series was some seriously good baseball.
In the middle of all that I did work, because our client is totally unreasonable
Hi, everyone! Sorry I've been MIA lately. I've been alternating between day and night shifts at work while attending grad school. It has been brutal for my sleep schedule and energy level. I had a really fun and relaxing weekend. I saw Blue Man Group on Friday (amazing, sensory-overloading show), then went drinking and dancing with a friend on Saturday night and spend Sunday recovering.
RockNVoll - I can't wait to see pics of the place! I hope you two like your new flat.

RockNVoll we actually have a friend that moved down at the same time as us so we have our 1 friend! And OMG I love boxing class! It was an awesome workout and it really reminded me how much I enjoyed martial arts/boxing when I was younger. I just wish the gym was closer and I would've signed up in a heartbeat.

Our weekend was fantastic! The kids had karate movie night Friday. So H and I went out for sushi. Then Saturday we went to a friends Halloween party followed by trick or treating. The great thing about living here is you can go 2 blocks and get a bucket full of candy. Then we went home and lit our pumpkins with green fire. A little science experiment we've been planning. Then Sunday our friend from Germany arrived and we had everyone over to visit with her. She stayed with us until today it was a really good time.
