Good Morning, MMC!!!! It’s going to be a rainy weekend here in Indy but that’s okay. Why? Because we are less than 5 hours away from Hallmark Christmas Movies!! Woohoo!!!!!! I’m going to be totally unproductive for the next couple of months. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!!

 

[sugar142286]

That stinks you couldn't get a nap in! I hope you were able to rest when you got home.

Can't wait for tomorrow to have Christmas on tv all day

Your such a great dad to do that! My dad would do the same if I asked him to. Hope the Haunted house goes well

Thank you! It was cold but fun

Enjoy the 3 day weekend

Thanks M! It was cold but fun

Thanks! I slept for a few hours and felt great again.

Carolina's school trip was to the Brandywine Zoo in Delaware. It's a nice little zoo attached to Brandywine Park. The classes got a lesson on nocturnal animals in the education center and we got to explore the zoo. They have about 20 to 25 animals and when you get to the end of the zoo you turn around and get to see the animals as you are leaving. It was a fun day but quite chilly.
Tomorrow Carolina has her 5 year well child visit in the morning and then I work at night.
I hope everyone has been having a great Rudolph day

The field trip sounds great! Hope Carolina appointment goes well!

Merry Rudolph Day!
I hope Mom's PT appointment went well and that you were able to stream QVC!

Thanks!! It did!! She gets to go back twice a week for the next month and then probably once a week after that for awhile. Thankfully the wifi worked great. So I’ll have something to do while sitting there all that time.

I am thinking about putting a few Christmas things in my office. Maybe an elf that sits on the edge of my desk.

Oh how I miss those days with my girls! That’s a great shot, I’m glad you guys had lots of fun
Have a merry Friday Sugar!!!

DH and I were saying this last night. DD is 9 and some of the fun things we do, she won’t be interested in much longer. I’m afraid this might be the last year she believes in Santa too. Not only is she getting older, but DH and I both work Christmas Eve night and Christmas Night, which we will both be gone 12-14 hours at a clip, it makes it hard for the kids anyway, but also hard for all the aspects of hiding gifts, etc. We’ve always made it work in the past and the kids are blessed with wonderful grandparents, who help out, but yes, I will be very sad too when the day comes.

Happy Friday!

Took the day off from work for a busy day at home. As I type, the piano is being tuned for the holidays, then I have some Christmas recording projects to work on, if the neighborhood isn't too noisy. (Santa, could I have a recording booth for Christmas...?)

View attachment 51191 Hi friends! Happy Rudolph Day and 2 months until Christmas! Tonight was Trick-or-Treat and the kids had a blast.

Here was a picture of myself and the kids - hope you all had a great day! Hallmark movies start tomorrow!

Kids are so cute and you look great!! So your town does not do Trick or Treat on Halloween?

TGIF, Christmas friends!

The Haunted House was a great success! The kids did an awesome job, and the crowd was MUCH bigger than they expected. We cleaned everything up, and the haunted halls are now classrooms again LOL.

Here's a picture after it was over. Elizabeth is in the middle on the floor in the white dress:

Great to hear! Hope she continues to do well!

Thank you so much! Our whole county does it the last Thursday in October. I’m not sure how this came about or why, but it’s been like that for years, even when I was still Trick-or-Treating.

 

[MerryCarey]

Enjoy your day off!

Thank you! Wish I could spend it sitting around watching Hallmark and crocheting! But other stuff needs to be done!

Good morning, MMC! As a lot of you have mentioned, the rain and wind is coming! One of my best friends from childhood is getting married tomorrow and I hate to see the weather being so crappy for them. I work this weekend, which I go in at 7 tonight, but switched with someone to have tomorrow off. I’m looking forward to the evening!

My kids will be going with DH’s parents this weekend to Pittsburgh. We have family from there and they’re going to visit all weekend. They have a Halloween party that DH will be taking them to tonight, so the kids are looking forward to a great weekend.

Not much in store for me today. The kids are off school. I’m going to pack the kids for the weekend, do some laundry, but once 12 pm hits, I’m going to turn HMM on and enjoy some Christmas! I hope to fit in a nap this afternoon for work too.

Hope you all have a great Friday!

You’re welcome! Hopefully this weekend you can catch up. It will be perfect weather for it!

Good morning MMC!! TGIF!! Whoop Whoop!! Sooooo looking forward to the weekend - even though it's bittersweet as it's our last weekend at the lake for the season!! But having a 3 day weekend will help! And if the weather stays good, we may be able to squeeze in another weekend yet! xx

Just work for me this morning, a stop at moms & then Lucy & I will head to the lake! Can't wait! Supposed to be a rainy weekend, but hey - we have Christmas on Hallmark!


Sunday night is the annual Ladies Night/Christmas Open House at the hardware store. Always a great time. We will go out for Mexican after. Can't wait to see this years lights/decorations!!!

Everyone, have a GREAT day!!!

Glad to hear everyone had fun at the zoo!!

Good morning ~
Happy Friday!
It’s going to be partly sunny today with a high of 56 degrees. We have a Nor’Easter passing through tomorrow, we’re expecting high winds and heavy rain. I’m going to get a few errands over with today so I don’t have to worry about going out tomorrow. My youngest is going to run errands with me and we’re going to grab Chipotle for lunch. That’s about it. Should be a relaxing evening, we have a couple of shows to catch up with.
I hope everyone has a nice day and a wonderful weekend ahead!
xx

Have fun with your youngest today!! Stay safe this weekend!!

Good Morning Christmas Friends-

We are heading fast and furiously towards our favorite season. The countdown is:
Days to Halloween: 5
Days to the Season: 18
Days to Christmas Day: 59

Typical day of work for me and my daughter has a soccer game tonight and then tomorrow looks like we will be home for most of the day!! A Nor'easter of heavy rain and winds...hoping for no power outages! Hope you all have a great Friday and weekend...the last weekend of October! How did that happen??

Good Luck to your daughter!! Fingers crossed that you don’t lose power!!

You should definitely do it!!

Enjoy your day off!! A recording booth would be awesome and definitely beat the kitchen table that I used.
