We have No Plans this weekend!!!! Yay!!!! I plan to sew, spend time in the pool, and just be silly with my kids. What is everyone else up to?
And a Friday Random: Remember how I said DD was doing great at volleyball? Last night she said she likes the balloon balls better than regular volleyballs “because you get hit in the head and face a lot playing volleyball.” But she didn’t seem upset by it. Lol. It was so hard not to laugh at that.

DH is at work today, so it's just the kids and me tonight. It will probably be just a regular night of dinner, bath, and bed. I may let DS stay up and watch a movie with me. We haven't gotten much snuggle time lately and I think we both need it.
Saturday DH will have to help nephew take his pigs to the fair since apparently DH is the only person capable, nevermind that his own dad has a truck and is fully capable of pulling the trailer. I swear I don't know what DH's family would do without him. Crumble is probably it. Other than that Saturday is wide open. I need to really focus on getting the space in the house ready for my office set up and bring the rest of my stuff home from my actual office, which means I need to go shopping. It'll be a good weekend for it since it's supposed to be super hot out.
Sunday will be a solo parenting day. Probably some more office set up. I should take the kids to see DH at work. It's been a while since we've done that. Maybe we'll go visit him then go swimming at my mom's if I get enough done at the house on Saturday.
Random: DD cried for 45 minutes last night. I really hope tonight is 40 or less and that we are down to less than 10 by Monday. Mostly because she has seemed happier getting better sleep, I'm happier since I'm getting better sleep, and if I'm going to make it to the gym at all next week it'll have to be at 5am.

Today is day 1 of my 19 day vacation. I'm so happy to be away from work. DH will hopefully finish painting the house today. Nothing else planned this weekend except for a pedicure at a fancy spa on Sunday and packing for our trip on Monday.
FFFC: our neighbors, 2 retired sisters, moved in accros the street over a year ago. H has been the friendly neighbor with them. Whenever I've had any contact with them, they have been together. They both have J names and I don't know which sister is which. I just hope I can avoid a situation where I have to use their names.

We are camping this weekend with DHs cousins and their kids. 6 adults and 6 kids after a family of 5 backed out last minute. It’s going to be 100 degrees so hopefully getting in the river is safe.
No big plans this weekend, which is great because we just got back from a week-long trip, and I'm taking my older kids cross-country to Maryland to see family and friends next weekend.
We have a date night Saturday night, and I'm excited to have dinner and see the Mr. Rogers movie. Then Sunday I have to leave the house at 5 pm to fly out for a one-night work trip. Otherwise we'll just swim and go to playgrounds, probably.
We have soccer tomorrow than Wild Night Out. WNO is where the kids go to a nature camp for 3 hours and we have a date night. Then we are going to the community theater for a show on Sunday. I am scared that DS won't like it... It's kind of like Greatest Showman.
If it isn't scary he would be OK, but in scary movies think the movie at lego land so not that scary, he threw a gigantic fit and starting hitting because he was so scared. We told him hitting is not OK, he can use his words and we can leave, but we just have to be so careful with him and media. Although I think he is outgrowing some fears including some at night, and now DD is going through the stage fun times.

We actually don't have a ton of plans this weekend, yay! Tonight we have an open house for a friend's daughter. DH gets home this evening after being gone all week, so it will be nice to have him home.
Tomorrow morning I hope to get away by myself for a couple hours to run some errands. Then in the afternoon we have a friend's daughter's 1st birthday party. There is a new bookstore opening in town, so I think we'll go check that out after the party.
Sunday I think we just have church in the morning. Maybe I'll get to take a nap in the afternoon...I can hope.
We are having our week of 100 degree temps so staying cool. I actually turned the AC on today. Dd has a bday party from 1 to 4 at a park that has minimal shade tomorrow and I'm tempted to cancel last minute.
Dd took 2 short naps yesterday and slept over 12 hours last night. She looks better today but has been very quiet and mellow. She just asked me if it was okay to take a nap...hmmm

DH has a card tournament on both Saturday and Sunday so my mom is coming over in the morning to enable me to still do my bike ride. Then taking DD to gymnastics, which means DS will have to come with. Either Saturday or Sunday I think I'd like to take the kids to see a movie and I just realized Transylvania 3 is playing so that's a possibility. I've never seen 1 or 2 but perhaps that isn't going to be an issue?
FFFC, I'm nervous about taking my kids places by myself - especially the movies. It seems like such a big hassle. And particularly at the movies I'm always concerned that DD won't act right, which is ok if I have someone there to stay with DS so I can take DD out... She did great during the Incredibles though.
My MIL passed away on Thursday afternoon. DH, his sisters, and I were able to be with her when she passed and I'm glad. My MIL isn't suffering anymore. The weekend will be filled with relaxing because we'll have a tough week ahead of us with the viewings and funeral Mon - Wed. Many thanks to all of you for the kind words. I really appreciate it.
FFC: This year for whatever reason I am loving the heat. Everyone else is complaining and I’m having to try to commiserate but actually I am just trying to find excuses to sit outside on my covered patio, enjoying how the air feels like velvet.

I’m not inTX so my heat is probably way less (although more humid), but I love the excuse to go to the beach or the pool.

Today on my ride it felt like I was breathing air through a hot wet towel. Until my 2 mile run after the ride, when it felt like God himself was baking me in an oven. Not. A. Fan.
I had a great ride but my niggle in my hamstring has turned into full on pain. So after gymnastics we stayed home and I read a book while the kids played. Tomorrow I’m not running. So I’m going to try to take them some place fun...if not the movies then maybe the pool?
