Weekend/holiday weekend plans

[jlaok]

What is everyone's plans this weekend?  If you're in the US, what are your 4th of July plans?

[jlaok]

I'm taking an almost 5 day weekend (working a few hours today and Monday).

Friday - Day with DD. We are meeting friends at a water park then going to get pedicures later this afternoon.
Saturday - Vow renewal for one of DH's friends. DH is acting as officiant and best man.
Sunday - having friends over to cookout
Monday - Play date and lunch with friends whose daycare is closed.
Tuesday - swimming at my sister's house then hopefully fireworks with a friend who lives out in the country (where we can shoot big fireworks legally).

It'll be a busy weekend but I'm excited.

We've got an awesome weekend planned! Heading north to my parents' house in the lakes/mountains. Plans involve hanging at the lake, boat rides, cookouts, fires, and drinking beer. My sister, brother, and brother's girlfriend will all be up there too, along with a bunch of cousins and family friends. The 4th of July weekend culminates in a giant cookout/potluck party down at the lake, where the town shoots off fireworks over the water. It's one of the best weekends of the year up there. I have Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday off, so we're heading up right after I get out of work today.

Tonight we are going to a baseball game.

Saturday I have the gym with friends then a girls' pool day downtown and DH is covering DD's MRI on her leg - I almost feel guilty but they are buddies and it sends the "not a huge deal" message. Then DH and I have a dinner and movie date with another couple.

Sunday we head to the lake! Fireworks and BBQ.

Monday I work at the lake - where there is no wifi, so I have to hotspot/try to find wifi.

Tuesday we will do the neighborhoood children's parade.

DH has to take our car to get fixed tomorrow morning. I'm having drinks with work friends in the evening.

Sunday no plans yet! This is unheard of

[callmekd]

tomorrow we are doing to a Pixar exhibit at the Science Museum. otherwise, normal weekend things like cleaning, grocery shopping, grilling and hanging out. we both work on Monday.

[librarychica]

I also have a 5 day weekend! Today I'm at the vet with my poor dog! She has an ear infection and now they found a mass on her ribs so I'm anxiously waiting while they X-ray that. Tonight my best friend and I are going to dinner and making a "back to work!" care package for a friend whose maternity leave is ending.

Tomorrow pool party at my parents. Sunday H is working and I'll do something with the kids -- probably just hang at home and go swimming. Monday my delayed-door is being installed. Tuesday the science museum's science and history July 4 event.

[librarychica]

Dog disapproves of the vet.

Tonight Ds has a sleepover.

Tomorrow, friends invited us to an adult lake day at their cabin and spend the night . Usually, I would be all over it. However, we had our kid free vacation a few weeks ago, we went camping last weekend where I had to share a bathroom and camper with 10 people and didn't get good weekend sleep, plus we leave for Florida Tuesday, so I don't really have time or energy for an overnight. We may go up for the afternoon and come home. Then we will be the party poopers, as usual.

Sunday, friends will be hungover due to cabin day, so I hope to get in a good run with DH and shop for our trip supplies.

Tomorrow I'm headed a couple hours away with a GF to a music festival in the woods. We are going to camp overnight. Yikes... it's been awhile since I did non glamping style camping...I pray I survive. Also first night away from my kid since she was born.

[sdlaura]

Everyone's plans sound so fun! Nothing big for us because two week old baby. The big kids will still go to preschool and camp Monday, which will be a good thing since I'm not ready for four days straight of all three kids

Tonight we have our regular date night sitter. We'll take baby to eat and just get to avoid putting everyone to bed. Tomorrow a kid bday party, Sunday a friend invited the big kids over for dinner and a play date. On the 4th we'll drive to my office to watch fireworks since it's next to legoland. I'm sure there will be some pool time and getting together with neighbors to grill thrown in.

I hope everyone has a great long weekend'

librarychica hope your dog is ok!

[k3am]

Tomorrow is a kid's birthday party followed by a friends 4th of July party. The technically start at the same time. Womp womp.

Sunday, the inlaws are invading, Monday I have to work, and Tuesday, I have no idea what we're doing. Everyone has basically decided we don't want to coordinate anything.

[xctsclrx]

We were going to go to my in laws but FIL isn't up to company just yet, and it is supposed to rain all weekend so I have no idea what we are going to be doing.

[l504]

We have a great weekend planned; swimming, grilling, and a surprise visit from an out of town relative BUT, if my mom, who I love dearly, calls me one more time at work to discuss the food we're picking up (think Chick-fil-A) I may just say I'm bringing cash. It's just not that complicated to handle this after work!

[sudokufan]

I told DS we had 4 days off this weekend and he's super excited. His bucket list: a park, a playground, a picnic, trim the shrubs, bubbles, a pool, visit the grandparents.

I was nodding along going "yeah, ok" until he got to the shrubs. WTH? Talk about an old soul LOL He doesn't know it yet, but our plans also include sparklers and the splash pad. Not at the same time obvs.

[polecat8]

Tomorrow I'll be hitting the gym in the morning and getting some last minute party stuff. If it doesn't rain, we'll head to the park for a concert.
Sunday we are hosting a 4th of July/birthday celebration (DH, DD, and I have early July birthdays). Hopefully it is nice outside so everyone can enjoy the yard and the new swingset.
We don't have plans Monday or Tuesday, so we'll play it casual since the weather may be a little rainy. I'm taking all of next week off of work. Not sure what we'll do all week with the kids...

[mustardseed2007]

My BIL has dropped off his two dogs while he and SIL go camping. I am nervous about keeping them and just praying it won't be as bad as I fear.

My plan for this weekend is to just try and do the pool as much as possible and do some little outings with the kids - go for ice cream, go to the park...stuff like that.

Except that DH and I are in an argument because I couldn't find my keys on Sunday. Seriously. I'm so annoyed that he won't let this go.

[mommyatty]

Sunday we are having a pool party with BFF and her family. Monday I'm pretty sure I'm taking a day off. The kids are in camp, so I may purge the playroom. Then Tuesday we may try to go to a parade in our town. No plans on Saturday so yay!

[mae0111]

Not a lot. We will go to the parade in our town tomorrow, then swim.

On Mon, I iinvited my parents, sister, and her family for a cookout and swimming this weekend, and told them to tell me which day worked best. Mom responded immediately that she could do any day but Sat. Sister never responded. So I sent her a second text after I called twice and she didn't return calls. She finally responded "Maybe Tuesday!"

Um. Maybe? Her family is 6 people - 2 adults, 3 very hungry teenagers, and a 9 year old that eats approx 3 things. Shopping is required. She does this sh!t to me all the time. So I put her on the spot and asked when she thought she could nail down plans, since I need to buy food (for 6 ppl vs 12 ppl). No response. It's been 3 days. I'm pissed.

[indyrowergirl]

Sat we're driving home from vacation, so 15 hrs in the car with a 4yo and 7yo. Kill me now.

Sun is a baseball tournament for DS1, Mon is our neighborhood festivities, and Tue is a friends 4th party. Should be fun, if I survive tomorrow. 😜

[ilovelucyvv]

Going to a wedding tomorrow. Looking forward to having a day/night without kids that doesn't involve work and then sleeping in.

[akafred]

Tomorrow is moving day!!!

[sandandsea]

We are flying to Israel tonight! First trip away from ds2. My parents are watching the boys and they will have a great time!! I'm excited for an adult vacation and alone time and sleep!!

[erinshelley21]

Late to the party.
I had a friend day yesterday. Lunch baby date for DD and me with one of my bff's and her baby. Then I had dinner with 3 girlfriends and we laughed for 2 hours straight. My mom watched the kids since DH was at work and DS stayed all night.

I'm rummage prepping today. I also need to meal plan and order groceries since we have 3 separate events this weekend that require me to bring something and my family likes to eat dinner and stuff.

Sunday - family reunion for DH then he goes to work.
Monday - dh and i are both off work so i hope we will go swimming at my mom's condo
Tuesday - cookout with DH's family, cookout with my family, fireworks somewhere maybe.

[freezorburn]

Today I have a bunch of projects to tackle. I need to adjust DS's car seat, and attach bike racks to the roof of my car. Break down a bunch of cardboard for recycling, maybe get a few things moved around and planted in the garden. We'll see how much energy I have. And I want to spend an hour or two on homework that my career counselor assigned me. Maybe I'll go see a movie tonight if I feel like going out. 

Tomorrow I'm meeting friends in the morning for a walk, and have an invite to a casual dinner party but not sure if I'm feeling up to it. The week was very stressful and I'm not sure if I'm good company right now.

I'm scheduled to work on the 4th, and I'm planning to get DS to bed at a normal hour. Firework start way too late where we live.

Thanks. She's going to need surgery but it's minor and reasonably affordable so she should be okay.

[freezorburn]

Someone in my Buy Nothing group just gave me one of those cute little portable Weber charcoal grills. I'm looking forward to expanding my skill set!

[akafred]

So...DH hired movers. They came and did a great job but it was by the hour. So DH and I still ended up moving sooo much (him more than me, to be fair). The cost ended up being about 20% of a full service mover so that's good but holy hell I am so sore and tired. And our bed is not put together yet, and DD's bunk bed had some pieces missing so the bottom bunk is the only one together and she sleeps on top. It's going to be a rough night for all of us.

Kids are at the grandparents. Yesterday we cleaned everything we could until we ran out of time. Vacuumed both cars, swept the garage, deep cleaned/mopped wood floors / washed most of the carpets, 2 loads of laundry etc etc. Then we left for our relatively local vacation. That went ok but the place H rented for the night wasn't going to work and we had to scramble for an overpriced but worth it hotel room.
