Felt like we had to make up for last weekend being sick with extra fun this weekend! Luckily we already had plans to get together with Hannah, Josh and the boys and then we threw in Edgewater and a visit to the “Halloween house” on Saturday and breakfast, fishing and Halloween movies on Sunday. This week is busy with lots of fun stuff and it all ends in Dempsey’s 3rd birthday so I’m really looking forward to it all!

Got a spooky mani on Friday and then headed into Erie for dinner, dessert and the chaos of four children playing 😅 I don’t think Dempsey made anyone cry so that’s an improvement 😂😂 We had Teocali + cheesecake for dessert and it’s so nice hanging out with your best friends 🤍 Dempsey didn’t want to leave, especially once the stargazing started!

We had a really fun Saturday! Joey and Dempsey made some pumpkin waffles and they turned out so good! Afterward, I dashed off to get my hair cut and when I got back, the boys headed off to swim and I got to check out the weird eclipse shadows while Lydia napped. Dempsey and I hung out at the neighbors’ for a good while after his nap. They are always inviting us over when it’s nap time or lunch time or bath time, so felt nice to say yes. We ended the night with dinner at Edgewater — most dinners out feel so chaotic but this one didn’t and that was so nice! — and then we went to check out this house nearby that always goes all out for Halloween. Dempsey seemed concerned that one of the giant monsters might walk but I think he liked it! Got the kids to bed and watched GBBO but we were both falling asleep on the couch during it 😅

Started Sunday at Fox And The Hen because I’d been wanting to go for weeks! Got a cinnamon apple muffin drizzled in caramel to start then dove into a plate of biscuits and gravy. We really dig that place! After breakfast, the boys went fishing and I put Lydia down for her nap then made salads. After Dempsey’s lunch, I put him down for his nap and then Lydia and I took a walk 🤍 Back home for the rest of us to have lunch and then we just kind of hung out and watched movies until dinner time. I made us enchiladas and Dempsey acted like I was trying to poison him 😂 Joey and I thought they were good 🤷🏻‍♀️ Got those babies to bed, then watched a couple episodes of Reservation Dogs (which is just so so good!) and BB.

Happy Monday!

Not much to report from our weekend, as we were all sick but it wasn’t all a wash, so I figured I’d still post.

My only Friday photo because I was feeling ROUGH. Dempsey had been sick all week so he was finally better just in time for Lyds and I to catch it. Thought this biscuit would revive me but it didn’t 😞

Look at my sad baby girl! We had a slow start to our Saturday but I made us buttermilk pancakes and then Joey took Dempsey to swim followed by a birthday party. He graduated to level 2 in swim!!!!! I’m so proud 🥺 And I got a video of him jumping around in the bouncy castle so I think he had fun at the party. Lydia and I got in a good nap. She had been tossing and turning and waking up crying every 30-60 minutes for the past two nights so when she finally took a good nap, I was relieved! Is it even Saturday if your husband doesn’t fall asleep on the couch while you’re watching GBBO?? Ordered in Chook for dinner to keep things easy.

Someone was suuuuuper sleepy on Sunday morning! Joey and Lydia went to pick up coffee and bagel sandwiches from Call Your Mother and I knew I was feeling better when I was suddenly cleaning the windows?? 😂 Dempsey found the face paints in our Halloween costume box and wanted to see how they worked so he was a cat for a bit. Got salads made, Halloween decorations out/up, laundry done and took a family walk and it was so nice to get outside and move around. Would you look at my sweet boy with his flamingo skeleton and ring pop? After dinner he wanted me to go in the backyard with him to lay in the grass like we did a few weeks back and how could I say no?? Feel like we had some really sweet moments together this weekend 🥰

Joey is full on sick now so please pray for me this week 😅
