1. Last weekend some of our good friends got married. Well... church married. Kind of a long story really. Anyway, we went out to dinner with them the night before and they were telling us everything that was going to go down because I missed the rehearsal. Anyway... as it turns out they warned us about a family that would be there that only eats fried chicken. KFC preferably. I thought they were kidding. They weren't. After the mass I distinctly heard the "will you have chicken there?" from one member to the father of the bride. (The food and merriment was at his home.) I'll make a long story short: There wasn't friend chicken until they brought it in. And one family member had not one other food item other than the 10 pieces of fried chicken. It was ridiculous.
2. I can begin decorating the house for Fall/Halloween on Sunday. It has always been Husband's rule that I can't start decorating for holidays too soon, so for Fall I have to wait for Fall. Since this time last year we were for sure moving at the end of October I never really got anything out of boxes at all. But this year... oh man. I am excited. PLUS we live in THE neighborhood for trick or treating so I am bringing my A game on the decorations. Now to ask BIL for a hay bale... since really who wants to pay $50 for one am.i.right?
3. We were supposed to be going on a mini-vacation next weekend but I don't think that's happening anymore. But we've been traveling a lot lately. A lot. So I understand Husband's hesitation. But still it would be fun to go somewhere just the 3 of us. What I am unsure of is whether it is being rescheduled or if it's not happening at all.
4. Still yet to come this fall season is going to the orchard and then a fall family day at a pumpkin patch. I really really really wanted to go last year but see #2 about moving. It didn't happen. But it will this year. So let it be written, so let it be done. This farm close to us has a pumpkin patch with wagon rides, a corn maze and a whole lot of other things to do. I cannot wait.
5. I know that it's just not even Fall yet but I am totally into Christmas already. I have my shopping list almost ready to go. And I have lots of C activities I would like to have sorted out, and that takes some major planning. I really want to make him a felt tree so that he can decorate that instead of un-decorating our tree. (I have no proof he'll do that, just a really safe guess.) And if you are interested in a Jesse Tree Ornament Exchange... you should totally sign up!
6. With all this planning ahead for the rest of 2013 (Because seriously that's what it's turning out to be.) I am definitely letting things go. I wanted to can apple sauce and apple pie filling--but based on all the stuff I'd have to buy it's just not going to happen. I am not going to purchase any decorations at all this year. If we don't already have it that's just going to have to be okay.
7. I am fresh out of things to talk about. And one certain one year old is pushing a book into my face so clearly it's reading time.
