DD has to cheer at 2 football games this weekend. So for about 2 hours instead of 1. Blech. At least they are back-to-back. The second is a makeup game to deal with our insanely rainy weather the past couple of months. That’s our Saturday morning.
I’m hoping to do Boo at the Zoo this afternoon or sometime this weekend. That will be fun, I think. So long as the weather remains awesome.
It looks like no rain tomorrow so plans are 9am soccer game. Go downtown to trick or treat. I would have skipped this but my mom is in town and never had a chance to do Halloween with them before, and it will be nice weather so why not.
WP question a new friend asked me if I was going to town trick or treat, and I said I don't know. It's not the type of event you have to go with someone as it's more like trick or treat between 1-4. Since she had asked me, should I send her a text saying that we are. But if I do then that would mean we should meet up right? Also we went with other friends last year. No word from them this year on it, but how do you deal with awkwardness if you do go to a community something with another group of friends? It's not like a tradition and really they did that to us last year on Halloween and we just went as one big group? So just do that, like say hey join us but don't text second group ahead of time (because they are tend to do their own timeline, and I would like to get their on a earlier timeline?
Then I booked ticket to the dinner and movie place for Sat night while my mom babysits. Sunday, I am leaving open but maybe pumpkin patch if it doesn't rain.
My weekend starts today! We have a wedding to go to at 4pm 60 miles away, which means we need to leave by 11:30. Got to love traffic, right?
The kids are both excited that their unofficial auntie is picking them up early from school and spending the night. DD is going to try to get her to sleep in her bed >.<
I have dreams of sleeping in tomorrow and a long brunch before heading home. The sleeping in part probably won't happen. I didn't have an alarm or a kid wake me up today and I was still up by 5:30.... but a girl can dream, right?

It’s my birthday weekend so we are going out to dinner tomorrow with the kids as ds1 loves the place and our babysitter wasn’t available and I didn’t feel comfortable leaving just DS2 alone with a new babysitter since he can’t really talk well yet. Oh well.
We also have soccer and I’m hoping to reserve ds1s bday place.

Lots of Halloween stuff lined up for the weekend. Tonight is the Harvest Festival at DS’s school. Then tomorrow after swimming, a party at a friends house followed by haunted house at the Boys and Girls Club.
Sunday will be weather-dependent. Walk with some friends in the morning, and then possibly driving up to the mountains to visit our favorite train park.
Somewhere in there we will get to the store and buy decorations for Halloween. And get ready for next week.
Today is my day to get stuff done. I started off with breakfast at a diner around the corner from school, wrote out my to-do list and now I’m going to tackle it.
DS1 has a soccer game tomorrow morning and it is supposed to rain. Then DD, DS1, and I need haircuts. We still need to pick up some Halloween candy and grocery shopping needs to happen. On Sunday, DH is going to a painting class, so I need to figure out what to do with the kids.
Date night tonight (trying a new restaurant - that doesn't take reservations, so fingers crossed there's not a multi-hour wait). Tomorrow is a DD soccer game at 9 am, DS1 soccer at 10, and then catching the tail end of the fall festival at DS1's preschool. Then a birthday party with the two older kids in the afternoon. Sunday is DH's annual company outing at the zoo - I'm really looking forward to it because they bring in really cool animals just for the ~15 kids that are there. Last time they did this, my kids were too young to care, but now they're the perfect age for it.
The baby's in-home daycare provider just texted that she has to take the day off on Monday unexpectedly to be with her husband at a medical procedure. This is the first time she's had an unscheduled day off in the year we've been there, so I really have no reason to be annoyed, but I'm frantically texting my babysitters to try to get some help so DH or I can at least be at work a bit for meetings.
Women's volleyball fundraiser tonight for Dds class trip tonight. I really don't want to go. I just want to curl up in my pjs. Plus Ds gets back tonight from his club trip.
Tomorrow, we have a Halloween dance. I spent last night painting our barn prop. I settled on a donkey and bought one of those donkey hoodie pjs. I better win a prize.
Sunday Dd has a birthday party at the trampoline park.

Tomorrow DS got invited to a Halloween party, and I asked the mom if I could bring DD for 10 - 15 minutes and she said yes, so I'll do that. Some of the other moms are also going to another mom's house for a Stella & Dot party - I've been invited but am not sure if I want to go.
Other than that, it'll be the same running around to kids' activities. Oh and work. I don't know how much I've complained about work here - but yeah, it's been bad.

My weekend started today because my oldest had a teacher workday. We went to the science museum, came home to relax a bit and have dinner and then went to the youngest’s preschool for fall festival. Fun day but I am beat. H is coming home from a business trip tonight and tomorrow I plan to foist them on him while I have some quiet time. We have a small birthday party Sunday but otherwise no plans. I’m hoping for a relaxing weekend.
Today I realized that I have been babying my son too much. He hit an independent streak this weekend. He can now fully dress himself head to toe. He finally made the leap to play in the indoor playground and climbed to the top. He started going to the bathroom in public. Stopped using the toilet ring and has been navigating my MIL's farm with minimal supervision.
I am so proud of him and blown away. He will be four in a few weeks
