TGIF! What's on for the weekend?

give me strength...

Immediately after school we're having Clara's birthday party here at the house... 15 8th grade girls. We invited all of the girls in the grade and they're all coming. I should be setting everything up right now (we're doing a photo booth for the entertainment), but I'm here in the forums instead.

 

We are on day 2 of a 4 day weekend, and I am taking everybody to do my monthly big huge grocery shopping!
insert mom in straight jacket
my oldest son and his wife are taking all the kids trick or treating tomorrow night, so my honey and I, are going on a date! wootie woo
church all day Sunday and then woo hoo
school MONDAY!

 

We will be doing pumpkins tonight, tomorrow doing "Goofy Ghost Walk", and trick or treating. Sunday will probably be a re-coop day.... husband will be working on his motorcycle with his dad (keeping him busy during what would have been 30 something-th anniversary), so I'll be supervising the toddlers after copious amounts of candy and weekend excitement.

 

No real plans yet, but to me, that's often the best kind of weekend....just do what I want, when I want.

 

Not much tonight.
We have soccer Saturday morning and then in the evening a little pot-luck pre trick-or-treating with friends at our house.
Church on Sunday and hopefully absolutely nothing in the afternoon. I think this is the first weekend this entire school year that none has a project to work on! Hallelujah!

 

Groceries in the morning, then oldest son helping us clean up/put away for winter. Set out pumpkins and a few other decorations for the Halloweeners. - Trick or Treat.

Sunday, relaxation - I hope.

Monday - back to work.

 

My dad is visiting from France all weekend and tomorrow night we have all the kids plus their partners round for a Chinese takeaway dinner. Will probably be answering the door to lots of neighborhood trick or treaters too. Sunday is geocaching day. Weather forecast looks good which is always a bonus

 

I plan to scrap some here and there. Saturday hoping to catch my grandson's last soccer game and answering the door for the kiddos. Last year I only had one set. Sunday will be church. Pretty low key all the way around.

Oh, I LOVE retirement. If I was still teaching, Friday night would have been filled til 8 pm with lesson plans, etc. Probably some last minute wrap up on Sunday evening.

 

Today: Scrap scrap scrap then work on Halloween costume with oldest son using the $14 leather jacket I scored at Goodwill yesterday. (oh another good thing for the week) Need a nap sometime this afternoon due to pets who thought the day should begin at 5 and I should stay awake.

Tomorrow: It's cold and rainy so probably scrap scrap scrap -- AJ has been working well for me. Begin Gratitude or November scrapbook in 6x8 hybrid pocket (wish me luck printing has become a long process)

Sunday: More of Saturday, possibly try a new church Sunday night

 

We had Kennedy's school dance (since he is a kinder, it was his first dance... awwwww) last night. Tonight I'm working on my costume (trying), and we will probably do pumpkins. Tomorrow we are doing the trick or treat route in the neighboring junior high (yay for inside). Sunday is the Dia de los Muertos festival at the Tacoma Art Museum. We are going to that and then having to disassemble our ofrenda to take home. Seahawks play Sunday afternoon, and National Novel Writing Month kicks off, so I might go to a local "write-in" if I can get my family to cooperate.

I'm looking forward to some relaxation Monday because the past two weeks have been INSANE.

 

today ... getting ready for football game
tomorrow ... cleaning house and hanging out
sunday ... cleaning house and hanging out

pretty exciting stuff, huh?

 

The Rescue Squad here in town hosted a haunted house last night and my oldest, who works for them, had his own room set up. He had asked my youngest to be a part of it along with my granddaughter, soooo I got to go and be in it for awhile and then hang out in case the kids needed me. It was a longggg day...out the door at 7am and home again a midnight.
Today is clean up the house before trick or treating and hopefully a little down time.
Tomorrow we go to my mom's for something she has planned for my birthday, which is actually Tuesday.

 

Because of weather, Rory's final soccer game and our trunk or treat was cancelled, but I am SO okay with that! It's been a crazy couple of months and having a free Saturday is awesome!

Friday night we went to the park and then did some miscellaneous shopping. Saturday is all clear except for handing out candy with family Saturday night. Sunday is church, then another free night.

 

That looks like so much fun Amanda!!! Such cool costumes!
