This was our one “low key” weekend of October and yet we still had a family movie night, went to a park playdate, attended a fall festival, baked a loaf of bread, did Sunday chores and then I got my haircut and went (sans kids and husband) to dinner at my mom’s. Whew! Not going to lie, I felt so overstimulated all weekend so hopefully I recover by the time next weekend rolls around and we’re legitimately really busy 😅

I guess I watched a lot of movies on Friday 😂 I took Dempsey to school then came home to work and threw Practical Magic on. It’s just a perfect film, okay? Joey picked up wings for dinner and then we gave the kids baths before watching Room on the Broom with them. Put them to bed and watched Blade, which I’d never seen!

Joey made us some banana waffles for Saturday breakfast and then we headed out to Paco Sanchez for a preschool playdate. We hadn’t been there since 2020 but the kids had a lot of fun! We left around 11:30 and made our way over to Grandpa Steve and Lorna’s, where we changed the kids into their Halloween costumes and walked over to a fall festival that was taking place in their neighborhood. We had a great time! Dempsey was loving the bouncy obstacle course and all of the carnival games and they both got balloon wands and their faces painted. Lydia is so cute and patient sitting there with her eyes closed while they painted the princess crown on her face 🥺 We walked back in the rain but what can you do? Dempsey got to open his birthday presents and they played for a bit and then we headed home. Shockingly, no one fell asleep in the car! Back at home, spaghetti and meatballs for dinner and an early bedtime for the kids. Joey and I finished our movie afterward and I had to check the time because I was falling asleep on the couch. It was 8 PM!!! 😂 The visual effects were obviously way out of date, but otherwise it was a fun movie.

I got up and worked out the next morning and then we had breakfast and started our first loaf of sourdough bread! We fit in our chores and I got Lydia to take a nap then woke her up before I had to leave for my haircut. I wasn’t quite done baking my loaf of bread and had to leave Joey to make a call on it being done. He sent me a pic when he pulled it out of the oven and said “she’s perfect” 😂🥰 I made appointments for both Lydia and I to get our hair cut in December. It’ll be her first!!! She was so excited when I told her 🥺 Afterward, I headed over to my parents’ for dinner. My sis and Wayne joined us and we took a nice walk around the neighborhood and up to a scenic overlook before we headed back to the condo for Jambalaya. Almond cake and ice cream for dessert and I got to FaceTime the kids before they went to bed. It was mostly just them screaming and running around their room while I watched 😂 Got home around 8:30, just in time to catch up on GBBO.

Happy Monday, everyone!
